Chapter 311 - Too Late
Inside the private room of Hong Wei restaurant on the third floor the same floor Lory and the girls rented before, he also knew Yang Qiong yan cousin had disturbed his princess during her days out, how dare she, not even him dare to bother her when she's having fun with her friends!
Yang Qiong Yan sits opposite him with cheeky smiles he used to make but Zhao Li Xin acted as if he doesn't saw him, he takes out his favorite wine from his own spatial ring and Mong Ki served the wine for him, Zhao Li Xin didn't even bother to offer Yang Qiong yan his wine even just for a simple exchange pleasantries. Yang Qiong Yan faces unperturbed the smile still plastered on his face he knew Zhao Li Xin's infamous temperament was.
"Thank you for accepting this meeting," said Yang Qiong Yan "I hope I don't hinder you from you're business"
"You are, straight to the point than" Zhao Li Xin replied bluntly than he sips his wine slowly.
Yang Qiong Yan smiles becomes awry, his reply is not something he expected he clear his throat then he composes himself and he clasped both of his hands on the table "I just wondering why the great Lord Long Ming stay in my country?"
"I can't stay?" Zhao Li Xin asked calmly while twisting his winecup slowly.
"No, of course, you can its a fortune for our Kindom I just can't stop wondering why" Yang Qiong yan eyes glint with curiosity.
"Just a temporary stay before I continue my journey," said Zhao Li Xin.
"You bought the most expensive manor from the royal family which I don't know-how, and all of that effort just for you could stay here temporally?" Yang Qiong yang guffawed he hit his own knee "Apology Lord Long Ming but that is hard to believe"
Zhao Li Xin sips his wine than he put down the winecup gently on the table "Is not my problem you believe it or not"
Yang Qiong Yan dumbfounded although it doesn't show on his face, he takes a deep breath than he opens his arms "Okay, just say I believe you, so tell me why you bought the most expensive manor in the capital"
Zhao Li Xin faces turn soft for a second but disappeared in a second before anyone realized "Because my fiancée deserved the best" he sincerely replied.
'That's it? is that all?'
Yang Qiong Yan stunned for a moment, he smiles awkwardly than he sips his wine to calm his mind than he smacked his lips "So…its for you're fiancée, is that it" is hard for chauvinist man like him to accept that he also have favorite concubine where he spurs his money for her but not to this extend.
"It seems you're fiancée have a taste with luxuries," he says with a sarcastic smile.
Zhao Li Xin glances at him "No, she doesn't care where we live….we can live in the wilderness and she wouldn't make a comment" his mouth slightly curved whenever he thinks about her.
Yang Qiong Yan confuses even more "So, why���.?"
"Why not?" Zhao Li Xin sighs "Are you here just for asking about my fiancée..."
Yang Qiong Yang smiles awkwardly "Well of course not, its because..."
"Is Lao Min Na told you to asked me!" Zhao Li Xin's voice becomes sharper, he crosses his leg to another, he stares at him with 'knowing' expression.
His cold glare make Yang Qiong Yan nervous, he stifles as he try to avoid Zhao Li Xin's suspicion "I don't know what….."
"Don't underestimate me, Marquis Yang or I'm gonna feel offended" Zhao Li Xin warns him with flat tones.
he makes a wry smile "It seems I do underestimate you Milord" Yang Qiong Yan bow her head courteously then he raised his head with teasing smiles he say "You seem to watch Miss Lao Min Na moves, are you interested with her?"
Zhao Li Xin's finger tapped on the winecup than Mong Ki pours the wine from the flask carefully, Zhao Li Xin glances at Yang Qiong Yan complacent smiles, Zhao Li Xin said solemnly "Only to kill her….." he said indifferently then he sips his wine again.
Yang Qiong Yan sneered, It is hard for him to believe Zhao Li Xin's simple answer "You really want to kill her…." he can't believe Zhao Li Xin didn't fell any kind of attraction to a woman like Lao Min Na.
"Eventually..." Zhao Li Xin says without hesitation.
"Miss Lao Min Na is a strong, talented and ambitious woman, in this world how many women like her you have encountered not to mention she has a rare beauty that can ruin the country, such a woman….don't you feel pity to killed her" Yang Qiong Yan doesn't understand how Zhao Li Xin mind works if it was him he will do anything to have Lao Min Na, unfortunately, he doesn't have the power and talent to gain her attention other than being her subordinated.
"I think you overpraised Lao Min Na, I met too many women like Lao Min Na, there's nothing special about her, she's like a pebble on the street, too much to concern…" Zhao Li Xin scoffed in disgust.
Yang Qiong Yan face become somber, he balled his fist inside his sleeve, for him Lao Min Na is like a Goddes he could never reach and yet Zhao Li Xin match her with pebbles is hard for Yan Qiong Yan to believe Zhao Li Xin didn't attract to Lao Min Na he even believe Zhao Li Xin might be one of the men who can't gain attention from Lao Min Na and that's why he is hostile toward her.
Zhao Li Xin ignores the disdained on Yang Qiong Yan's face he sips his wine then he sighs "Tell me what you want, you wasting my times..." he sighs impatiently.
Yang Qiong Yan calmed himself, getting angry with this man is no used he need to smoothen the relationship between Lao Min Na and Zhao Li Xin because it gives more benefit for him and also for Lao Min Na even if they can't be friends they should not against each other.
"We don't have to fight each other, I could even half territory of this kingdom for you're business, so why must we fight and hurt each other when we can work together. You are a leader yourself don't you wish to expand Hei Shen power even more then now, just imagine the benefit you gain" Yang Qiong Yan wickedly smiles but Zhao Li Xin face remains expressionless "If you don't want to work with us is fine too, we can do our things without getting each other way"
Zhao Li Xin smirked, Yang Qiong Yan though he would agree with him but then Zhao Li Xin put down the empty winecup on the table "Too late….." he said with a low voice.
"What do you mean?" Yang Qiong yan smiled become stiffed.
"The moment she tries to kill my woman we are bound to kill each other" Zhao Li Xin straighten his back as he stares deeply at Qiong Yan's nervous face "She tries to kill my fiancée multiple time, you think I don't know her involvement with Lu Yao? She should stop thinking she's the only one who has the brains, she got her people I've got mine, stop thinking I'm just stupid tyrant who knows nothing other than killing people..." Zhao Li Xin raised from his seat.
"My attention to meet you is simple, I want you to send a message to that mistress of yours" Zhao Li Xin leans his head slightly toward Yang Qiong Yan "Tell her….she' played well now it's my turn" he's word filled with murderous intent that make yang Qiong Yan hear tshuddered. Zhao Li Xin flicks his robes and walks out of the room with Mong Ki and Mong Yi followed.
The room becomes quiet, Yang Qiong Yan remain on his seat his face lose his color, he clenched his jaw and his eyes filled with anxiety, he didn't know Lao Min Na tries to kill Zhao Li Xin fiancée, the same woman who make Zhao Li Xin eradicated Lu Clan and fight the sacred Mountain peak society, he doesn't understand why Lao Min Na wants to kill that woman, a weak woman without power or background? Lao Min Na always indifferent to people who are below her either from appearance, family background or talent she never cares about them so why she cares so much with Zhao Li Xin fiancée is it because of Zhao Li Xin? is she fell in love with him but then what happened with Zhao Yi Chen, her fiancee? Yang Qiong Yan has so much question bit he doesn't have the answer, he can only sit there and contemplating his next move.
