Chapter 1460: Liking You Means I Truly Didn’t Misjudge You

Fan Xinhui maintained a subtle smile: "What is it?"

Bai Zhi’er looked calm.

"Actually, I was just a passerby from the start, not intending to meddle in any affairs. It was only that day when I saw Madam Fan inspecting carriages that led me to speak up."

"I hope Madam Fan does not remain overly courteous, keeping this favor in mind. We crossed paths by chance, and I will be leaving in a few days. Madam Fan, take good care in the days ahead."

Upon saying this, Fan Xinhui and the man beside her seemed to be taken aback.

Before they could react, Bai Zhi’er had already smiled with pressed lips and gracefully descended the stairs to leave.

Cai Ying cautiously bowed: "This servant also takes her leave."

She hurriedly caught up with Bai Zhi’er’s steps.

It was only after Bai Zhi’er had left for a long time that Fan Xinhui returned to the tea room.

Compared to her composure, Gao Jin, the former dynasty’s Crown Prince, was clearly less calm.

"What does she mean by her words just now? A warning to us?!"

Fan Xinhui took a sip of tea, then raised her eyes to look at Gao Jin: "You are truly naive, didn’t you hear it? This Miss Jing is exceptionally clever, with a delicate mind."

"She has already discovered our probing intentions, so she subtly informed us that she and her brother were merely visiting Peng City and not for any other reason."

"Moreover, even if she knows something, she doesn’t intend to meddle. She will leave as scheduled in a few days. She reassures me not to worry."

Gao Jin furrowed his brow: "Is it truly so?"

Fan Xinhui nodded, responding affirmatively.

"Temporarily, there’s no need to worry."

"Why temporarily? Didn’t she say not to investigate?"

Fan Xinhui sighed: "Although she won’t interfere, the gentleman beside her is clearly not someone to be trifled with."

"The people I sent out to investigate his identity vanished without a trace. Whether or not he will take further actions needs to be observed."

Gao Jin, somewhat agitated, paced back and forth: "These people, instead of staying in the Capital, insist on coming to Peng City to get drenched!"

Seeing him truly anxious, Fan Xinhui could empathize.

It’s been so many years, and Gao Jin lives as if he’s unseen by the sun.

Initially walking on the street, when others gave him a second glance, he felt they recognized his identity.

Having been together for so many years, secretly nurturing emotions, Fan Xinhui understands him well.

Knowing Gao Jin often wakes in terror from nightmares.

He dreams of being caught by Bai Xilie, the new Emperor of Great Chu, and publicly flogged.

Such days of lurking and fearing discovery are truly unbearable.

"Once I find a way to deal with Ke Yong, shall we leave here?"

Amidst his anxious pacing, Gao Jin abruptly paused, turning his head: "What? Leave?"

Fan Xinhui nodded gracefully: "We will live in Great Qin, my aunt has some assets there. Once we’ve moved, we won’t need to worry about living."

Gao Jin couldn’t believe what he heard.

"You are leaving? But you have always aspired to court ambitions, otherwise, how could Ke Yong, such a mediocre talent, manage Yuzhou so orderly! Throughout Peng City and even all of Yuzhou, who doesn’t know all credit goes to Madam Fan? If you leave with me, what will happen to Peng City, what about Yuzhou’s people? Would you hand it all to Ke Yong?"

His string of questions made Fan Xinhui unable to hold back a gentle laughter.

Gao Jin spoke sternly: "Why are you laughing!"

Fan Xinhui savored her tea, smilingly responded: "I laugh happily because I know I like you, which means I didn’t choose the wrong person."
