Ms. Doctor Divine

Therefore, the only way for Xie Yan to stay was to stop being arrogant and asking Chaoyan personally and openly. That should work out, but he did not think that Xie Yan would understand this.

It would be a pity if he could not.

Xie Yan was a very talented person, otherwise Zhou Huailing wouldn’t have paid three visits just to hire him. Even an arrogant man like Zhou Huailing would bow to him and beg him to work for him, so Xie Yan should be considered as someone capable, thus being a little arrogant. It wasn’t so easy for him to bow to anyone.

Nevertheless, Zhou Huaijin did not want to get involved with this decision of Chaoyan’s.

Chaoyan could do whatever she wanted, and if she failed, he could defend her.

!!

Zhou Huaijin smiled and did not continue with his thoughts. Instead, he said, “Although you can keep him under protection for a month, Junyi has got so many messengers across the town. The moment he leaves Xinlin Mansion, he will be caught. How do you plan to arrange what happens to him later?

Oh this plan...

Gu Chaoyan sipped the tea and thought for a while, carefully.

She did need to reconsider the situation.

She had been planning to think about the situation after a couple of days, but when Huaijin mentioned it, she thought that she should think about it carefully, so that Shadow Door could make cooperative arrangements too.

Gu Chaoyan thought for a while, then she said, “We can ask Sword Two to ask about Xie Yan’s own opinions. Shadow Door can help him to go wherever he wants to.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

He looked at Gu Chaoyan with a smile on his face. He could not help feeling sorry for Xie Yan.

***

Xie Yan, by this point, had returned to his own yard and took a seat inside.

On the way here, he started to think about the whole thing. He had been very disappointed, but soon he got quite angry. He really believed that Gu Chaoyan was not easily irritated. He had made such an open offer yet she did not pay attention to any of the words he said. She must be thinking about other ideas just to press him down, so as to get a capable strategist like him with the fewest efforts.

Honestly...

She was much more tricky than the Crown Prince, but she was a better person than the Crown Prince after all.

Yet Xie Yan would not bow so easily.

They had to pay to get a capable strategist like him, and Xie Yan was worth the effort.

That was what Xie Yan thought.

Since Gu Chaoyan was not in a hurry to do anything, he did not intend to do anything either. He was going to wait until the time was right and at that moment, she would think of a way to keep him.

That was something Xie Yan was confident about.

When he was done with this. The servants that delivered the food and necessities arrived. The servants knew him well, and understood that he did not want to be disturbed. So they put down the things in another room and left directly.

However, Xie Yan thought for a while and asked that servant to come to him.

He had nothing special to tell him. However, he just asked him. “Could you please bring Xiu Jie here? I would like to ask him about something.”

“Okay.” The servant answered politely.

Xie Yan nodded with satisfaction, telling them to get down to business directly.

Although he decided to remain silent as Gu Chaoyan, he planned to prepare himself. He was going to ask Xiu Jie what Gu Chaoyan was like, so that he knew what to do under certain situations.

The sound of knocking at the door arose as well.

“Mr. Xie, what are you calling me for?”
