Chapter 700 - Calm Down (1/2)
However, Lin Mengya had calmed down at this moment.
She knew very well that even if they got into trouble, she could only make things worse if she lost her composure.
Lin Mengya, who was tapping her smooth forehead lightly with her index finger and pondering quietly, was at her peak.
She said, “Qinghu, you lead some people to the Shen’s Mansion to coordinate with my father. Remember, just watch over my father in secret and don’t alert the enemy. If my father really gets into trouble, you can use the enemy’s strength against the enemy.”
Seeing Lin Mengya return to normal, Qinghu could not help showing a wicked smile.
That was the spirit. The young lady, who was able to trick him with a smile so that he admired her from the bottom of his heart, had come back.
“Tell Zhu Yan to come over. I’ll assign him a task,” Lin Mengya gave an instruction.
After Qinghu went out quietly with his followers, Hongyu and the other three maids stayed by Lin Mengya’s side as her most capable assistants.
After a while, Zhu Yan appeared in front of Lin Mengya with a reluctant look on his face.
Although the young man still had difficulty in getting along with the others after living in Lin Mengya’s courtyard for a period of time, he had been used to this kind of unrestrained life.
Lin Mengya lifted her head, glanced at Zhu Yan, who had obviously grown taller and sturdier, and said to him with a meaningful smile on her pretty face, “I heard from the others that you’ve felt bored recently and want something to do?”
After they returned to Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion, Zhu Yan didn’t have to take Yinghua to meet his mother in the woods outside the city in the name of hunting on the first and fifteenth days of every month because Yinghua had been sent away.
It made Zhu Yan, who would like to keep himself busy, feel extremely bored.
He looked vigilantly at Lin Mengya, the only person he was wary of in the mansion.
Every time he saw Lin Mengya, he somehow felt that she had seen through his mind, and he had a strong aversion to this feeling.
“In fact, I won’t put you in a difficult position. I know that you’ve taken good care of Snow and the baby tiger, so I think only you can perform this task. If you make it, I can allow you to go out for a few days. Can you agree to help me on this condition?” Lin Mengya said like an evil spirit in hell trying to lure people into depravity.
She always knew exactly what everyone’s strongest desire was.
Zhu Yan cautiously glanced at Lin Mengya, but he did not immediately consent to her request.
Instead, he stared suspiciously at Lin Mengya with folded arms. Recently, she had given repeated instructions that they were not allowed to get out of the mansion at will.
In this case, what did she mean by promising to let him go out?
“What exactly do you want me to do?” Zhu Yan asked.
In the face of Zhu Yan, who had obviously taken the bait, Lin Mengya deliberated for a while before speaking slowly with a cunning smile, “Nothing difficult. I just want you to put on a show with Snow and the baby tiger. Rest assured. They are so close to you that they won’t hurt you.”
Not to mention Zhu Yan, even the others in the room could sense the raging fire behind Lin Mengya.
Amid the flames, a shadow, which looked like Lin Mengya, was waving a flaming chain, seeming to be looking for her prey…
The others could not help shrinking their necks, wondering what she was up to.
“It’s an easy job. I’ll do as you ask on one condition: if I make it, you should let me go out for half a month and bear all the costs.” Zhu Yan lifted his chin and solemnly negotiated with Lin Mengya.
However, Lin Mengya didn’t intend to bargain at all. She looked at him with a smile, then stretched out her palm to give him a high five and said, “No problem. Deal!”
The crisp sound caused by the high five stunned Zhu Yan.
She directly consented to his condition. He should have asked for more just now, shouldn’t he?
Before Zhu Yan reacted, Lin Mengya waved her hand as a hint for Zhu Yan to come close to her ear.
After she gave him some instructions, he showed a big smile, revealing his glistening silvery white canine teeth which made his smile wicked.
“It’s a piece of cake!” He agreed with certainty.
Both of them showed tacit expressions, puzzling those around them.
Nevertheless, they only knew that from a certain point of view, Zhu Yan and Lin Mengya were basically the same kind of people, who could never get tired of watching the fun.
It was quiet at night. Lin Mengya yawned slightly after arranging everything.
