Chapter 278: A Different Feeling

After all, Qin Yueran had helped Kuchiki Senya a great deal.

Moreover, that night, Kuchiki Senya's drunkenness had given Lin Aoxue a certain different feeling.

She did not reject the skin-to-skin intimacy with Kuchiki Senya in that state — at least, she showed no sign of resistance — and that was the best proof of all.

"You like him." At that moment, a voice laced with mockery rang out.

It was Danielle Xia Pu.

"Nonsense." Lin Aoxue said coolly: "I will not fall for Kuchiki Senya."

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know perfectly well in your heart." Danielle Xia Pu narrowed her beautiful eyes: "We two are friends, and I don't want you to lie to me, not even a little bit."

Saying this, she seemed to recall something extremely unpleasant, and the color of her eyes deepened a shade: "Besides, I don't want to see you deceiving my brother."

"Don't lump me together with your brother!" Lin Aoxue said coldly: "I don't like that word."

"Then just treat what I just said as rubbish." Danielle Xia Pu shrugged her shoulders. "Anyway, don't forget — you Huaxia people have a saying: marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog."

On the surface this remark seemed to have nothing wrong with it, yet Lin Aoxue somehow tasted an altogether different flavor in it, and so her gaze instantly chilled over!

"I don't need to abide by any constraints whatsoever!" Lin Aoxue said.

"Is that so?" Danielle Xia Pu stared at Lin Aoxue: "Then I can't guarantee whether you two will end up in conflict over the distribution of benefits."

That remark was nothing short of devastatingly lethal.

Lin Aoxue's pretty face instantly flushed red; then she clenched her teeth, lowered her head, and glanced at her own collar: "If you want to look, then go ahead and look as carefully as you like."

At this moment, the eldest Miss Lin finally decided to use force to resolve this crisis.

This could also be considered a certain form of venting her emotions.

"Fine, I won't look anymore." Danielle Xia Pu shook her head: "Your level is still far from the effect I want to achieve."

"What exactly do you want?" Lin Aoxue said.

At that moment, Kuchiki Senya happened to finish his phone call and walk in. Hearing this remark, he immediately frowned: "Danielle, you girl — why are you always picking on Aoxue?"

"Brother, I'm not picking on anyone." Danielle Xia Pu pouted and said: "I'm just reminding little sister Aoxue not to forget your mission — that is the top priority."

"Of course, I understand these things better than you do, and I have no interest in getting mixed up in them either." Lin Aoxue looked at Kuchiki Senya, her gaze softening a fraction: "So you stop worrying needlessly, alright?"

"Aoxue is right — you're just too kind-hearted."

Kuchiki Senya patted Lin Aoxue's arm: "Our family is this rich — we're not short on money, really."

"Fine, since that's how it is…" Danielle Xia Pu glanced at her watch: "It's eight o'clock now; there are still fifteen minutes until our assembly time."

After saying this, she walked out of the courtyard and closed the door behind her.

Afterwards, the group hurried to Yangzhou City,

where the Commandant Zhang, my lord, was waiting for them.

This Lord Zhang was not particularly old — he looked to be around forty, with a short beard, a square face, and seemed very 620 spirited. Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, he carried quite the air of a cultured man.

Because of the Jiangnan water-town scenery and its unique landscape, Lord Zhang, having stayed here for a long time, had even cultivated a scholarly air about him.

If one set aside his official position and background, Kuchiki Senya even felt that this Lord Zhang was just like a neighborly uncle.

"My humble self's surname is Zhang, given name Ping — a local of Yangzhou City. My parents both passed away from illness when I was in junior high, and I've been sustained entirely by the lingering grace of my ancestors. So I haven't read many books, unlike those young talents with real degrees, each of them widely read and learned." This County Magistrate Zhang Ping said: "Today, being able to meet outstanding young people like President Lin and Mr. Kuchiki is truly my honor — let me toast you both a cup."
