The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 796 - 380: Meeting? Don’t Recognize (Five Updates)
Qingfeng Building.
A seductive voice came through...
Xiao Jinxing watched as two young servants escorted the woman onto the bed.
The moment she got into bed.
The servant leading him didn’t forget to remind him, "Learn well."
Xiao Jinxing’s face was grim.
All night long, he was forcibly suppressing a murderous fury.
He indifferently glanced at the unbearable scene on the bed, and after they were fully engaged, he quietly left the private room.
Then, his steps paused at the door of another room, conspicuous as the most luxurious one from outside.
Since it’s Anji Boss...
Then, surely he would enjoy the best.
This was exactly where he planned to come tonight.
Xiao Jinxing leaned on the doorway, listening attentively to the sounds inside.
It seemed, there was no sound anymore.
At least the sound of the zither was gone, presumably, they were asleep.
He stretched his hand to gently push the door open, but hesitated at that moment.
The words of the little servant echoed in his ears, saying only two servants had the privilege to serve her...
Two...
Xiao Jinxing’s fingers twitched slightly.
His chest felt notably oppressed.
He didn’t know how long he stood at the door.
His fingers practically stiffened, yet he still cautiously pushed open the room door.
The candlelight inside the private room dimmed a bit.
It seems they really had fallen asleep.
There was no sound in the room.
Xiao Jinxing entered deftly, quickly hiding behind a screen.
Behind the screen was a bed, eye-catching and luxurious.
Through the screen, it seemed like he saw two figures, with some slight movements.
And some suppressed voices.
Similar to the atmosphere in the previous room he had been, thus...
Xiao Jinxing’s body tensed up.
The whole person just stiffened there, then listened for a long time.
For a very long while.
As if the activity on the bed was about to end.
Xiao Jinxing finally mustered great courage, stealthily peeked from behind the screen, looking towards the bed surrounded by curtains.
He saw a woman lying beneath a man, both covered with silk-like smooth blankets, their actions beneath the blankets hidden, but the bare arms outside made one imagine they were wearing nothing under the blankets.
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple moved, his gaze directly on the woman, only her side profile visible.
A very young face, completely different from the woman next door.
Her eyes closed, seemingly enjoying it.
Enjoying it very much...
Xiao Jinxing quickly left.
That one glance was enough.
She was not the one he was looking for.
He swiftly left the luxurious room.
After leaving, he even sighed a bit of relief.
He thought he would feel disappointed for not seeing the person he wanted to see.
But at this moment, he felt somewhat relieved instead.
He didn’t even know what he would have done if it really was her, if it really was her with another man...!
In the private room.
Xiao Jinxing had just left.
"All right," An Ning pushed away Nan Mu.
Nan Mu obediently moved off An Ning.
In fact, both were wearing clothes, only slipped down to the shoulders, revealing bare arms, creating an illusion.
An Ning anticipated that Xiao Jinxing would try every means to come here tonight to investigate.
So she deliberately staged a play for him, letting him see the truth clearly so he wouldn’t persist any longer.
"Miss, why won’t you let me serve you?" Although Nan Mu was obedient, he couldn’t help but ask.
At this moment, An Ning had already tidied up her clothes properly.
An Ning glanced at him.
He was truly handsome, his eyes brimming with charm and his figure was perfect, and she had spent a lot of effort to willingly make him come to Qingfeng Building as a servant.
As for why not let him truly serve?!
All she could say was that she had a shadow in her heart.
Initially, she had slept with Xiao Jinxing twice.
The first time, she felt justified.
On one hand, it was for self-rescue.
On the other hand, Xiao Jinxing and Fu Xingyi almost had the same face, and under the influence of drugs, it was hard to control herself.
However, the second time, it was truly her nightmare.
Initially, she didn’t have so many emotions, sometimes the instinctual reaction between a man and a woman, a momentary impulse can just be taken as a one-night stand, forget it after it’s done!
But as time went on, especially since that impulse led to a pregnancy, she really regretted it deeply.
And deep inside, even if she didn’t want to care, guilt still emerged, a profound guilt towards Fu Xingyi.
Ultimately, she still broke the vows between herself and Fu Xingyi: To only have each other for a lifetime, never changing until death!
Now, she no longer wanted to do things that made her feel such remorse.
"It’s not your fault, don’t think too much," An Ning said, "Tonight you’ll stay in my room, go get the bedding yourself and make a bed on the floor, don’t catch a cold, you are our banner here, getting sick would be a huge loss for Qingfeng Building."
"Yes," Nan Mu didn’t ask any further.
Through these many years, only he and Xia Zhu stayed by her side, and within Qingfeng Building, only they knew her true identity as Anji Boss.
Being able to receive such favor from the boss, they are already content.
They dare not hope for more.
...
Guilai Inn.
Xiao Wu was waiting for the Emperor while dozing off.
Hearing a noise, he hurriedly woke up and walked towards the door.
Seeing the Emperor dressed in a white robe...
Such a man with long flowing hair, really took Xiao Wu a moment to get used to.
"My lord," Xiao Wu respectfully said.
Tonight, the Emperor had ordered him not to follow.
Xiao Wu thought it through and felt that the Emperor probably found him ugly.
Xiao Jinxing responded briefly, with a cold expression.
"Did you see?" Xiao Wu asked nervously.
"Hmm."
"How was it?" Xiao Wu asked.
Xiao Jinxing did not answer.
Xiao Wu understood from the Emperor’s expression that the result was not what the Emperor wanted.
Indeed, it probably was never possible.
It was the Emperor... who deluded himself.
"Then tomorrow, shall we depart back to the palace?" Xiao Wu suggested, "The Emperor has indeed been away from the palace for too long, and the court officials definitely have opinions. Moreover, considering what we have learned these days, there seems to be little gain from trying to learn business tactics from Anji Boss. Perhaps, after returning, sending a noble from the Xiao family to learn practically might yield better results."
Xiao Jinxing kept silent, not listening.
Xiao Wu felt that these days he had been talking to himself.
Xiao Jinxing sat on the soft couch, recalling the scene he had just witnessed.
He didn’t know why, the image of that woman lying beneath a man, just couldn’t leave his mind.
Clearly, it wasn’t her.
Xiao Jinxing shifted his gaze.
Even though he saw clearly that it wasn’t her, even though he didn’t believe she might still be alive, many questions still remained without clear explanations.
First, the familiar taste of shredded potatoes. He didn’t believe that anyone else in this world could make it, unless she personally taught them.
Second, the importance of courtesan women. Ordinary people would care about their identity, only she defied societal views, and might even love the house for the crow’s sake since Xie Ruotong was born in a brothel?
Third, avoiding meeting him like this. If there truly were no grievances or enmity, how could one go to such extremes for a stranger?!
He must investigate thoroughly before he would leave!
