Chapter 1104: Your Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He was trying to seduce Gu Chaoyan to hire him. He had expressed himself clearly and Gu Chaoyan was definitely going to keep him. Well, the agreement they had earlier was that Gu Chaoyan would keep him safe for one month if he told the truth.
He used to work for the Crown Prince, and Gu Chaoyan was going to marry Lord Huai, so it was possible that she was not revealing the truth.
Now she had very little time left, since he was leaving in one month’s time.
Therefore, he decided to put what he was thinking straightforwardly.
If Gu Chaoyan was clever enough, she should have understood what he meant.
!!
Xie Yan was a good strategist and did not have many demands. It should be a good choice to keep him.
Xie Yan showed a look of relaxation as he waited for Gu Chaoyan to respond.
Gu Chaoyan sipped her tea after hearing what he said. She smiled at Xie Yan, feeling a bit surprised. Xie Yan was different from what she had remembered, and he was a very persistent and interesting man, and he understood the situation well. However, Zhou Huailing did not keep him and replaced him with Junyi.
Gu Chaoyan could not help feeling sorry for Zhou Huailing.
Yet she did not dwell on these thoughts.
Since Xie Yan wanted to keep his opinions secret, she was not going to force him. He was right, he was not her strategist and he had no obligation to share his opinions.
She had intended to keep the conversation simple and share her opinions with Xie Yan, since both of them were interested in what was happening in the capital, but she could leave the topic, if that was the case.
Gu Chaoyan smiled. “Then we can drop it.”
“…”
“The strategist working for the Crown Prince studied with you in the past right? He is doing well and he is going to get married soon,” Gu Chaoyan said casually.
Xie Yan felt both surprised and annoyed.
He was surprised that Junyi would get married – they were both strategists and they would not choose to get married unless they were retired with accomplishments. And he did not think that Junyi was a man who would get married. He was a wild person and he never looked up to any women. He did not need to have any offspring so why would he get married at this moment?
Could the Crown Prince have forced a woman on him? That could be possible.
“What a poor woman. She has to marry someone like Junyi, who looks down at women,” Xie Yan said timidly, but then he added. “But the woman must be the Crown Prince’s mole, so she is not someone to feel sorry for.”
“…”
“Lady Chaoyan, anything else you would like to say? If not, I will be off now.” Xie Yan asked.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Xie Yan felt a bit disappointed, and left after a few moments’ unwillingness.
He even got a bit annoyed after he turned around. Why did Gu Chaoyan say nothing about hiring him, when he spoke to her in such an open way.
When Xie Yan sighed and left…
Zhou Huaijin seemed to get what Xie Yan was thinking as he watched his retreating figure. He smiled with interest and asked Gu Chaoyan. “What do you plan to do with him, after his stay here expires?”
