"Nearly six thousand points added, this... fem fatale, I’ll really have to be careful with this woman in the future."
Jiang Feng looked utterly amazed.
He truly hadn’t expected that just by refusing to send Chu Yuyan out and avoiding being targeted by a bunch of bootlickers, he could rake in that much Fortune Point.
Jiang Feng resolved in his heart: no matter what, keep away from Chu Yuyan to avoid getting stared at by those simps.
"Countless young masters from noble families dream of saying just a single word to Chu Yuyan; she asked you to escort her, so why didn’t you?"
Han Dong suddenly appeared in Jiang Feng’s workspace.
At the gate of Zhenbei Prison, a bunch of young masters were piling up, all just to greet Chu Yuyan on her way out. Such a big deal—no way Han Dong, the Grand Commander of the prison, wouldn’t know about it.
She seed to have overheard Chief Wang gossiping about it too.
"Sister Dong, I’m just a coward."
Jiang Feng explained.
"Do you not like won?"
Even as a woman herself, Han Dong found Chu Yuyan delightful to look at and couldn’t figure out why Jiang Feng could refuse such a beauty as Chu Yuyan.
"Sister Dong, you’re teasing again—Miss Chu has so many admirers, how would it ever be my turn? I’m just a little Prison Chief, I know my worth."
Jiang Feng said.
"You just focus on your work."
Han Dong gave a soft chuckle and left Jiang Feng’s workspace.
Although she still found it odd why Jiang Feng refused to see Chu Yuyan out,
Jiang Feng’s attitude actually made her appreciate him a bit; at least he was different from the average person.
In a blink, another seven days passed.
During this period,
There were no suspicious figures outside Zhenbei Prison.
Clearly,
The Second Prince knew his plot was exposed, and dealing with Han Dong wouldn’t be easy.
Plus, Xiao Ran had been visiting almost every day. The security around the prison was much stricter now, so during this phase at least, Han Dong’s safety was not an issue.
Dragon Capital also seed much calr.
Jiang Feng finished his shift and returned to Chaoyang Alley.
Standing at the entrance, he saw a maid waiting.
"Prison Chief Jiang?"
Ah Bi eyed Jiang Feng’s Prison Guard Uniform, asking with a note of disdain.
"That’s . Do you need sothing?"
Jiang Feng was slightly puzzled.
"This is an invitation from my Miss, inviting you to the Sun and Moon Building for a chat. She wishes to thank you for your care toward her."
Ah Bi handed the invitation to Jiang Feng.
"No need to thank . You can go back now!"
Jiang Feng imdiately understood and didn’t accept it.
He turned and entered his own courtyard.
He locked the half-man-high courtyard gate, leaving Ah Bi outside.
"You... but this is my Miss’s personal invitation to you!"
Ah Bi reminded him.
The invitation in her hands could be worth thousands of silver taels to those young masters—yet Jiang Feng was blind to it.
"Take it back. Please don’t co again."
Jiang Feng cut through the courtyard and entered his room, shutting the door tightly.
He hadn’t expected that after seven days, Chu Yuyan would still rember him.
"You..."
Ah Bi stord off, her face dark.
When she returned to the Sun and Moon Building,
She threw the invitation on the table, fuming, "Miss, Jiang Feng simply doesn’t know what’s good for him! I think soone should teach him a lesson. What right does he have to refuse your invitation?"
"He turned you away?"
Chu Yuyan picked up the invitation.
"That’s right, he was downright rude. But I feel he’s just playing hard to get. Miss, don’t fall for it."
Ah Bi said.
"You can leave for now."
Chu Yuyan sat alone in the room.
Playing hard to get?
That kind of tactic.
Plenty of young noblen tried it.
But as shallow as it is, how could Chu Yuyan not see right through it?
As the courtesan of the Sun and Moon Building, renowned throughout Dragon Capital, she always knew with a single eting exactly who harbored what intentions toward her.
Jiang Feng was obviously making an effort to keep so distance between them.
"In this world, there isn’t a single man who can escape the palm of my hand."
"If you won’t co to , then I’ll go myself."
But the more he acted like this, the more Chu Yuyan wanted to try him out.
She imdiately tied her hair up, changed into n’s clothes, and hurried over to Chaoyang Alley.
Inside Chaoyang Alley, Jiang Feng was sitting on his bed.
"What’s up with this woman? Why’s she suddenly fixated on —and how does she know I live in Chaoyang Alley?"
Jiang Feng found it strange.
He checked his Fortune Point.
Fortune: 7568
Another seven hundred or so added.
"Maybe she really just wants to thank ; don’t overthink it. She probably won’t show up again."
Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
"Is Prison Chief Jiang in?"
Suddenly,
A deliberately controlled voice called from the gate.
Jiang Feng was surprised. Walking out of the room and into the courtyard, he saw a young master in embroidered robes standing at his gate.
The person in front of him was remarkably handso.
He really didn’t look like a man at all, and there was a faint scent of won’s costics about him.
Jiang Feng, with his Second Grade Realm cultivation, took a good look and imdiately recognized: it was Chu Yuyan in disguise.
In that instant,
Jiang Feng instinctively took two steps back.
"Prison Chief Jiang, aren’t you going to invite in for a seat?"
Chu Yuyan said from the gate.
"Why did you co here yourself? The place is a ss, I’m not prepared."
Jiang Feng replied awkwardly.
He had no intention of inviting Chu Yuyan inside.
If anyone found out Chu Yuyan had co to see him in person, those crazed admirers of hers would tear him apart, not to ntion plenty of them were powerful and influential types.
"You’re not going to invite in?"
Chu Yuyan noticed Jiang Feng’s oddness.
"Sorry, the room’s too ssy—I’m really not prepared."
Jiang Feng nodded apologetically.
Chu Yuyan squeezed her folding fan, then finally smiled and said, "Then I’ll co back and see you in a few days."
"Take care on your way."
Jiang Feng quickly replied.
Chu Yuyan smiled, turned, and left. Walking down the alley, her expression turned grim.
A bit of anger boiled in her.
"A lowly Prison Chief—and he doesn’t even know what’s good for him."
She had never been refused by anyone before.
"Chu Yuyan, oh Chu Yuyan, why put yourself through this!"
Her mood was beyond vexed.
"Forget it, have Ah Bi send him so silver taels as my thanks. He’s just a small-ti Prison Chief; no need to waste even curiosity on a man like him."
"Maybe... he’s simply into n."
Chu Yuyan murmured to herself.
She had never doubted her own charm.
Jiang Feng must not like won, she figured.
That’s how she comforted herself.
But just then,
Han Dong, clutching a wine jug,
passed Chu Yuyan in the alley.
Also a woman, Han Dong was not only sharp-minded but also extrely perceptive.
She not only saw through Chu Yuyan’s disguise as a man but also recognized her identity.
The courtesan from the Sun and Moon Building,
actually turned up in Chaoyang Alley.
Could it really be for Jiang Feng?
A re little Prison Chief could prompt Chu Yuyan’s personal visit—if this got out, it’d cause a stir all over Dragon Capital.
But Han Dong acted as if she knew nothing.
She stopped at Jiang Feng’s door and knocked.
Chu Yuyan thought Han Dong had quite the air about her, and wondered why soone like that was in Chaoyang Alley. As she turned, she happened to see Han Dong just arrive at Jiang Feng’s door and get invited inside at once.
