The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 805 - 389: Just Wanting to Please You (Fourth Update)
The two of them sat in silence.
Each occupied with their own thoughts.
An Ning pondered whether Xiao Jinxing had discovered something?!
She had originally thought that his easy manner in letting her leave today meant he had discovered nothing.
Xiao Jinxing indeed, is old and cunning.
And at this moment, Xiao Jinxing was thinking.
What makes them better than him?!
Where exactly?!
They remained in this stalemate for at least half an incense stick’s time.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinxing spoke, "I can also play the guqin."
An Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.
Before she could respond, she saw Xiao Jinxing already sitting next to the guqin, hands resting on the strings, his eyes lowered, lashes curling upward.
The melodious and lilting sound of the guqin flowed from his fingertips.
An Ning pursed her lips.
This was indeed the first time she saw Xiao Jinxing playing the guqin, and though it’s not mentioned in the original text, she had to admit his skill was exceptionally high.
Tall mountains and flowing waters, soul-stirring and resonant.
The guqin could also be played with a grandeur that shook the mountains and rivers.
An Ning remained silent.
She watched Xiao Jinxing’s cascading black hair dance to the music.
She had never thought of Xiao Jinxing as gentle.
But at this moment, his face seemed to be tinted with a soft glow.
The protagonist’s halo couldn’t be too overpowering.
It seemed that no matter what he did, he could achieve the utmost perfection.
An Ning lowered her eyes, not looking.
If he wanted to perform, she would indulge his whims.
She returned to her seat on the soft couch, and continued sipping her small wine.
She wasn’t sure how much time passed.
Xiao Jinxing finished playing a piece.
He lifted his gaze and saw her sitting there, immersed in drinking, as if she hadn’t given him a second glance.
He stood up.
An Ning sensed Xiao Jinxing’s approach.
Yet she didn’t react.
Just as she was about to pour more wine, the jug was taken by Xiao Jinxing, who then poured her a drink.
An Ning tacitly allowed it.
If he was willing to serve, she would let him serve.
After all, she had nothing to lose.
Xiao Jinxing finished pouring the wine.
"Thank you, sir," An Ning said politely, and just as she was about to take the cup to drink, it was taken by Xiao Jinxing.
An Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.
Was he pouring for himself?!
The next moment.
An Ning saw Xiao Jinxing bring the cup to her lips, "Like this?"
Xiao Jinxing asked her.
An Ning pressed her lips together.
It seemed that he had learned quite well from that night when she taught him how to serve others.
If all her courtesans had Xiao Jinxing’s insight, she wouldn’t need to worry.
She refused, "I can do it myself."
"Don’t you enjoy it?" Xiao Jinxing didn’t return the cup to her.
An Ning frowned.
"Let me feed you," Xiao Jinxing’s voice was gentle.
His naturally magnetic voice carried a hint of inexplicable ambiguity.
An Ning lightly pursed her lips.
Then she opened her mouth.
Just to avoid entanglement!
Xiao Jinxing delivered the wine to An Ning’s mouth.
At the corner of her lips, a drop of mellow wine lingered.
Right there on her lips, fresh and tempting.
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
He averted his gaze.
"The courtesans also dance," An Ning said after finishing her wine.
Since he wanted to learn how to please women like a courtesan.
She was generous enough to help him.
After returning, she promised he’d serve his Imperial Concubine well.
"Hmm?" Xiao Jinxing had clearly been lost in thought for a moment.
Upon suddenly hearing her voice, he came back to his senses.
"Doesn’t sir want to learn how courtesans make themselves likable?" An Ning asked.
Xiao Jinxing pressed his lips together.
Just wanted to learn how to please you.
"How about sword dancing?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
Evidently, he couldn’t dance.
"Sword dancing without clothes?" An Ning raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered, "Do you like me... without clothes?"
"..." When did she ever say she liked him without clothes? An Ning resisted the urge to explain patiently, "It’s just a necessary skill for courtesans."
"Do you watch often?" Xiao Jinxing asked again.
An Ning really didn’t want to answer him about anything regarding her.
Xiao Jinxing could also tell she was impatient.
He said no more.
He lowered his gaze and began to change clothes.
An Ning furrowed her brows.
Was Xiao Jinxing seriously going to perform a naked dance in front of her?!
Even if it was sword dancing, that scene would still be...
Moreover, she had only said it to deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Jinxing.
She never thought he would actually do it.
An Ning grabbed Xiao Jinxing’s hand as he was about to undress.
Xiao Jinxing’s heart skipped a beat.
He lifted his eyes to look at An Ning.
His gaze had a hint of... heat.
An Ning ignored it and directly said, "Sir, it’s better not to; it doesn’t suit your status."
"Do you care?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"I just don’t want to cause trouble for myself," An Ning said, releasing his hand.
The warmth left the back of his hand.
Xiao Jinxing clearly felt a sense of loss.
"If sir likes it here, this room is yours to enjoy; I bid farewell," she said and left.
Xiao Jinxing watched An Ning walk away.
His eyes were filled with reluctance.
He smiled a wicked smile.
In the future...
He probably wouldn’t come here again.
...
An Ning returned to the Other Shore Villa.
Lying on the bed, she felt agitated.
Was Xiao Jinxing testing her?!
Testing if she was Ye Qichi?!
She would disappoint him!
...
The next day.
An Ning woke up a bit late.
After all, she had insomnia the night before.
She stretched and got out of bed.
Maid Yanhong was dressing An Ning while reporting, "Miss, someone is here to see you."
"Who?"
"He said his surname is Xiao," Yanhong said. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
An Ning’s face changed instantly.
"He also said if miss doesn’t come out to see him after waking up, he’ll come in directly," Yanhong said, "Just like last time."
"Last time?" An Ning frowned.
"Last time he barged into the estate with his men, and knocked all our dozens of house servants to the ground; Uncle Wang is still traumatized. "Yanhong explained, "Miss wasn’t here at the time."
An Ning’s eyes turned cold.
"Miss?" Yanhong spoke again, seeing no response.
Clearly afraid that someone would break in again.
"I understand," An Ning gritted her teeth, "I’ll go see him!"
Yanhong dared not speak further.
After an incense stick’s time.
An Ning went to the main entrance.
Xiao Jinxing, dressed in white, with a folding fan in his hand, stood there waiting for her with an elegant demeanor.
Little Wu followed behind him.
He didn’t understand why the emperor was here at dawn to wait?!
To know that last night, the emperor didn’t sleep a wink.
"Sir, why are you looking for me so early?" An Ning asked directly.
Little Wu wanted to say.
It’s not early now.
It’s already noon!
When they arrived, it was indeed early morning.
"It’s my first time in Xuzhou, and I wanted to experience the local customs," Xiao Jinxing said. "I hope the Divine Doctor can accompany me for a tour."
"Can’t the county magistrate accompany you?" An Ning raised an eyebrow.
"The county magistrate, after all, has official duties."
"..." So she was free, right?!
"Divine Doctor, please." Xiao Jinxing didn’t seek An Ning’s consent either.
A carriage was already parked right in front of her.
