Hou Zi squinted his eyes, glimpses of sword light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He let loose a pressure wave, the whole room felt quite overpowering, âIs that so? Why does it feel like, young lady, you seem to know me? In that case, Iâm overthinking things.â
âSir, youâre overthinking things, Iâm only a student, and I havenât had much contact with the outside world, thereâs no way I would know who you are. While Xia Jinyuan2 had never mentioned you to me before.â
Not only did his aura make the whole room feel oppressed, but it also felt chilly inside. The current Hou Zi was completely different from when he had just entered the room, and it wasnât the Hou Zi who was speaking lazily and who was acting very leisurely anymore; instead, this was Third Master Hou of the streets.
In front of Third Master Hou, Ye Jian1 remained calm and replied without concern, neither her expression nor her eyes contained any hints of fear.
Hou Zi started laughing out loud, âThe Xia familyâs sixth master has some good eyes, not bad, the young lady isnât bad at all. I havenât seen such an interesting young lady like you in ages, and thereâs no need to use honorifics like âsirâ anymore, you can follow after Xia familyâs sixth masterâs lead and call me older brother Zi.â
Though she still had her suspicions, since he had mentioned the sixth master of the Xia family, then heâs telling her right now that he doesnât have any ulterior motives and wants her to feel at ease.
Intelligent, good at reading the room, and has a very rare trait of having her own determined nature, and doesnât merely claim connections with others.
If she really knew Hou Zi, then she wouldnât have been this calm. Either sheâll be scared, or sheâll try her best to connect with him, but she did neither, even if he had some questions in his heart, they werenât worth mentioning anymore.
Ye Jian, whose heartfelt relieved, looked at him and politely said: âOkay then Brother Zi if thereâs anything else later, Iâll have to trouble Brother Zi further.â
âAll good, since Xiaâs sixth master brought you over to my place, then he mustâve already considered this, if thereâs anything you need, you can contact me at any time, you can also change a room if you want.â A woman being so straightforward makes people feel much better than when a guy is frank. When the young lady that Xia familyâs sixth master has his eyes on was acting so straightforward, he finds her quite pleasant to the eyes.
There arenât many people who can look pleasant in the eyes of someone who was as lonesome as he was, at his age, his insight about others is only getting keener and much more picky, thatâs why fate is a significant factor if someone wants to get on his right side.
Eyeing this little girl today, he already found her pleasant to the eye, so itâs also okay if he treats her like a younger sister.
Because of his words, Ye Jianâs eye light seemed to shimmer; Captain Xia purposely brought her to stay here. It must be because he was worried Ye Zifan would rack up trouble for her.
His consideration of her was so attentive. If Old Granny Ye hadnât stirred up trouble today, she wouldnât have known that Captain Xia had considered so much even for a hotel stay.
âIâve troubled you so much, for that Iâm truly grateful. If I really need anything, I think I wonât be courteous, and I would come and bother you.â Ye Jian had no idea how to treat people who live off the streets, but her instincts were telling her that she should be more straightforward, nobody likes someone who keeps their real intentions to themselves.
After all, she was the one who phoned the front desk and asked the hotel to send someone over to resolve her situation.
Hearing that, Hou Zi, whose face was even prettier than a womanâs, started smiling even more. Though the 37-year-old man already had crowâs feet, he was even more charismatic compared to his younger days.
He oozed out an air of superiority and also the elegance of a long-reigning lord. Hou Zi, who was currently in his golden years, was probably the dream husband of many women.
âThereâs also no reason for a young lady like you to be courteous to me. In the future, if thereâs anything that you need help within Yunnan province, you can go to Kaiserâs Hotel and look for my men or call me. Youâll only have to tell me what you need, and big brother Zi here will help you take care of it. Thereâs no way I can let you call me âBrother Ziâ in vain.â
