Chapter 1242: Myrth:

(Unedited)

…

"Mister, what is happening? It seems that there are more guards in this place than the last time I visited…" Xin Ja asked while looking at the street and the private carriages.

"We are preventing some unknown people entry to the manor…" the guard said coldly.

"Oh?! I guess those shameless guys are unwelcome to this place… good riddance. That would prevent anything from happening in the manor then…" Xin Ja nodded his head in agreement.

This time, the mouth of Qian Yan twitched inside her mask while she looks at the young man before her.

How could she not know that this person is one of those that these guards are not welcoming in the manor? But from the looks of it, it seems that this guy would not be disclosing his identity soon.

Soon a servant walked outside and gestured for the two to follow him. As they enter, Xin Ja waved his hand to the guard while showing a polite smile.

Every time he meets someone by the path, he would bow to them and greet them hello. This caused the female servants inside the manor to giggle at him and some even blushed shyly while looking at his handsome face.

Qian Yan could not help but roll her eyes while looking at the goofy action of Xin Ja. She wanted to reprimand him but decided not to intervene in his fiasco instead.

Soon, the two enter a courtyard and noticed a handsome young man sitting behind a white marble table filled with food.

"Ah, you've come!" Ban Railong greeted with a wide smile on his face.

"Thank you for inviting us…" Xin Ja greeted with a wink.

"It's my pleasure… friend." Ban Railong then showed a confused expression as his gaze landed on Qian Yan.

He knew that it was Xin Ja who saved the woman last night, so he is a bit curious about the relationship between the two. He is a bit sad though as he is actually interested in Qian Yan.

"The two of you know each other?" he suddenly asked.

"Umm… Yes, yesterday at the airport… Then we actually went to the same hotel… So many coincidences and now it leads us here…" Xin Ja explained vaguely.

"He's just an annoying guy…" Qian Yan blurted out.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback.

"How… How did I annoy you?" he asked feeling wronged.

"Humph…" but Qian Yan did not reply and just snub him.

"Anyway… So what's the plan now?" Xin Ja turns his attention back to Ban Railong.

Ban Railong extended his palm and put a letter on the table.

Xin Ja secretly scanned it with his absolute sense and noticed that it was actually a map.

"So this guy wanted us to infiltrate the manor and heal his grandfather in secret… A bit tricky and dangerous… But doable…" Xin Ja thought as a smile appears on his face.

"Tomorrow evening…" Xin Ja said as he picks his chopsticks and then began eating.

After the nice lunch, the three toured the manor for a while before Xin Ja said his goodbye first.

After he left, Ban Railong's immediately turned gentle as he showed a shy expression.

"Umm… Miss Qian… Do… do you have someone you like, or a fiancée maybe?" Ban Railong asked with a hint of hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yan showed an awkward expression.

"Umm… I'm not thinking of getting married soon. So I don't want to have a fiancée…"

Her reply made Ban Railong smile, but after realizing what she really mean, his expression turned dull. He knew what she is hinting at and that she is not interested in having a relationship with him.

But what gave him hope is when she said soon. It means that she did not want to get married soon. So how about later then?

With that in mind, the gloomy emotion he was feeling flew out of his mind as he looks at the beauty walking beside him.

If only she could be his wife, then his life would already be perfect.

As the two continue walking, they soon arrive in a big courtyard. Then they saw two beautiful women wearing expensive-looking silk gowns and many accessories chatting happily.

One of them saw the two and quickly called out.

"Ah, Master Ban!" she called while waving her hand in the air.

Qian Yan's eyes showed an expression showing interest while looking at the two beautiful women walking towards them.

"This concubine greets our lord…" the two said simultaneously.

When Qian Yan heard the two, she frowned. Then she looks at Ban Railong who showed an awkward expression on his face.

He cleared his throat and then nodded his head.

"My lord… is she going to be your main wife?" suddenly one of them asked.

When Qian Yan heard this, she just smiles confidently but did not say anything.

It seems that this guy already has two very beautiful concubines. Well, she could not blame the man as he belongs to a rich clan. It is normal for him to have concubines and wives. However, she does not follow the same tradition. She is more of a one-man-one-woman kind of girl.

Ban Railong now feels more awkward as he gestured for the two to leave.

"She is my visitor, please… I still need to send her back…" he said while gesturing for Qian Yan forward.

An awkward atmosphere immediately enveloped the two as they walk down the path towards the exit of the manor.

"I had a nice time having lunch… thank you for the hospitality…" Qian Yan showed a faint smile on her face.

All this time, she has not removed her mask, and only when she ate did she remove them.

But just by looking in her eyes, Ban Railong is already contented.

"I hope that I could have a pleasure to invite you next time…" Ban Railong nodded.

Qian Yan took a deep breath then looks at the sky.

"Young Master Ban… I also would like to say yes… But I realized that rich families have complicated lives… I don't want to complicate my life… I like it as it is now…"

Upon hearing this, the expression of Ban Railong sunk. He knew that her impression of him did not bode well.

"Do you really dislike such a life?" he asked feeling a bit dejected.

"Yes… I've seen how my mother struggled until she died. Even after everything, my father could not do anything to his own concubine because of his son… That's why… I hated to have such a family. But anyway, thank you for the time…" she said as she walks out of the gate.

Ban Railong wanted to follow her but hesitated as he knows that it would still be useless. He would never be able to gain her favor.

He just stood by the door and was about to call for a carriage to send her back when they noticed a figure standing at the opposite side of the road.

A slight smile appears on Qian Yan's face as she walked towards Xin Ja.

At this time, Xin Ja is currently looking at the manor then to the other side of the road as if he is trying to find something.

"Hey… What are you looking for?" Qian Yan asked.

When Xin Ja noticed a guard walking in his direction, he suddenly showed a big smile on his face.

"You… I'm looking for you!" he said exaggeratedly.

Qian Yan was taken aback at his reaction. She was about to retort when her small and almost boneless soft hands were grabbed by Xin Ja as the two walked away.

Ban Railong frowned upon seeing this but did not say anything as he noticed the guard closing in on them. The guard then showed a slight confusion and walks back after seeing the two walk away.

After they walk out of the guardhouse of the whole area, Xin Ja heaves a deep sigh.

"That was close…"

"Umm… Can you let go of my hand now?…" Qian Yan frowned as she did not expect this guy to suddenly grab her hand.

Right now, she is blushing a bit as she felt a bit shy by what he has just done. For some reason, she feels a bit awkward when she is with this young man named Xin Ja.

As an actress she would usually act with some male actors, so she should be used to such contacts. However, she feels that something is different with him.

Upon thinking to this point, she shook her head as if trying to erase such thoughts in her mind.

The two then went back to their hotel.

Qian Yan is waiting for the message from her team about the situation of the show, so she decided to just spend her days inside the hotel room.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja is already preparing for his next task. Since the request has been accepted, he would not want to go back on his words even though it was the fault of the patient's family.

They already got the consent, but it seems that the Ban sisters have some influence as even the authorities did not want to meddle with such a conflict.

"I guess we'll do it the old ways then…" he said as he sent a message to the others.
