Chapter 330: 330: Secret Meeting

If it were him being beaten, of course they wouldn’t dare to kill him either, but the meaning behind it would be entirely different.

Li Jixian knew that he wouldn’t get to see Jiang Ning today.

But this didn’t make him feel angry or disappointed.

On the contrary, it made him feel a stronger desire to conquer her.

The more ruthless and smart Jiang Ning proved to be, the more excited it made him, the more he wanted her in his embrace, to make her submissive to him.

Li Jixian couldn’t understand where these feelings were coming from, but he didn’t hate this feeling.

He remembered this feeling from when he was in his tens or twenties.

He felt as if he was young again.

When he returned to the front yard, Jiang Yi and the others were already gone.

Only a few gatekeepers were standing there bored at the entrance.

Li Jixian had expected this and didn’t bother with his beaten attendants, he directly got into his carriage and left.

He wasn’t the least bit upset about not seeing Jiang Ning.

If this woman had simply given in, he would have found it boring.

He has hidden his true self for so many years, he had even beaten the Prince of Yu, couldn’t he conquer a woman?

Sitting in his carriage, Li Jixian soon calmed down and began to carefully plan his strategy.

When he passed a teahouse, faint sounds of music and the soft voice of a girl singing came from inside, her voice as gentle as the scratching of a kitten’s paw, making one’s heart tickle just by listening.

Li Jixian’s pent-up temperament was stirred upon hearing this soft voice, he immediately told the coachman to stop the cart.

He got out of the carriage and entered the teahouse, where he spotted the woman singing and playing an instrument in the corner.

She was a girl in her teens, with an attractive and delicate appearance, her eyes were especially clear and enticing.

Li Jixian glanced at another attendant, then went straight upstairs to a private room.

The attendant understood and went to find the teahouse owner, the owner quickly spoke with the singing girl, she hesitated, but couldn’t resist the temptation of money and went with him.

Li Jixian didn’t do anything else, he just sat there drinking tea and listening to the music.

Not until lunchtime, a waiter came over and handed a note to the attendant, who immediately redirected it to Li Jixian.

Li Jixian unfolded the note and saw a graceful line of text: “At quarter past the eleventh hour, meet in room number one of Tea Delight Inn.”

Li Jixian looked up and asked his attendant, “Who brought this?”

The attendant went out to ask the waiter, who replied, “I don’t know, but he said he was from the Jiang Family.”

“Jiang Family?” Li Jixian raised an eyebrow and looked at the note with a playful smile, “Could it be that woman, Jiang Ning? What trick is she trying to play now?”

The attendant advised, “This woman isn’t simple, Your Highness, you should be cautious and not fall into her trap.”

“You think she would be so stupid as to set an obvious trap for me? As I see it, this little girl is rather wily…” Li Jixian sneered, “Or does she think I wouldn’t dare go?”

“Your Highness, you should consider carefully.”

“No need, I will meet her. You guys arrange for a few more men.” Li Jixian stood up, “There’s still some time, I’ll go back to the palace first and then leave in the evening.”

Not long after returning to the palace, Ren Chao returned, bruised and swelling, his face almost unrecognizable.

He was beaten up quite badly.

“Your Highness, why didn’t you help me?” He sobbingly asked.

“Ah, so this is the first time in your life running from a group of women? You don’t have to work for the next few days, go rest.” Li Jixian was too absorbed in his plan for the secret meeting that night to care about the well being of his subordinate..
