266 Why Won’t You Look at Me?

Soujin's Place

After settling everything with Lin Hong the day before, Soujin spent his day walking around the city to familiar himself with the layout of the city. The news about Prince Yang really made him speechless for he didn't understand the other party intention of making the imperial party lost their prestige.

"Hey, Soujin," Ming Hui greeted the other party when he returns, "How's your day today?"

"There is nothing interesting in this city. There are too many useless stores that can't even sell things properly," Soujin answered.

Yan shrugged, "What do you expect from a place that prioritizes benefit compare with service? In any case if you want to go to a good store, you should come to mine!"

Ming Hui face-palmed. Was this really the place to advertise your store? We were all your regular customers if we didn't have anything to do.

Soujin shook his head and handed a batch of paper towards Yan, "this is the ownership for most of the stores that belong to Yang previously. He sells them to cover up the losses he suffered yesterday."

Yan looked towards the paper as if they were treasure before busy immersing himself in checking them all. He seemed to be leaping in joy because he knew that from now on he would be the one who held the most stores in this city.

"Don't forget to give me 50% of your income," Soujin added.

"That's not a problem," Yan grinned. If he had to work by himself, there was no way he could get these papers because they know about his real identity. Since Soujin was being so generous to give him stores to develop, giving the other party a share wouldn't hurt.

Ming Hui peeked at the paper, "Give me a share too."

"No way," Yan immediately refused, "You didn't even do anything to help me and you want a share? Just focus on your hospital."

"You're really a money grubber."

"…You're the money grubber!"

Soujin ignored the two adult-like-children in front of him. He wondered just who was the person coming from the Mountain Kingdom was and what was his purpose for coming here aside from creating numerous troubles in this capital.

His eyes narrowed. When his task was finished, he wanted to search for the other party.

The next day, Lin Hong came to the inn in neat clothes. He bowed to Soujin respectfully. "Your Highness, it's time to visit the Tian Family residence."

Soujin nodded his head," Lead the way."

"Yes."

Lin Hong escorted Soujin to the residence main entrance. His job was done, and he only needed to meet with the emperor to get the permission to return to Ming Kingdom. He looked towards Soujin and bowed down once again.

"My job has finished, may I return first, Your Highness?"

Soujin nodded, "You may go."

"Thank you very much," Ling Hong said and bowed for the last time. He almost cannot contain his happiness as he walks away because he knew that he can meet with his sister after he returned to Ming Kingdom after a few days' journey.

While Lin Hong walked away, Soujin looked towards the residence in front of him with narrowed eyes. Before he came to Kai Kingdom and received the order from the emperor to marry Tian Ni, he almost overthrew everything in his residence out of anger. If that emperor thought that he could control his life, that old man was terribly wrong.

He remembered his mother message for him to be lenience towards Tian Ni because she was still his childhood friend. Soujin knew that he might not give her much leniency, but at least he wouldn't be as cold as usual and explain to her that he didn't have any feeling for her.

Soujin walked inside the residence. The Tian couple welcomed him warmly, and Tian Ni too looked at him with a warm gaze. However, the gaze that Soujin gave was not one that shows warm, rather it was really cold.

"Let the two youngsters talk first."

They let the two of them together inside the house. Tian Ni looked towards Soujin with a hopeful gaze.

"Soujin…"

"I never allow you to call my name directly, Lady Ni," Soujin cut her off.

"But we will be married in a few months," Tian Ni protested.

Soujin didn't bother to look at her. He didn't want to meet her if not for that agreement. Coming here, he had another purpose. This time, he wanted to clearly tell her off that he didn't have any interest in her.

"I don't come here to accept the agreement. I come to tell you that I don't have any intention to be with you," Soujin answered.

Tian Ni eyes wavered when she heard Soujin say the sentence to her straight away. She forced a smile on her face as she looked towards the other party.

"Why? Am I not attractive enough?"

With her appearance and how she conducted herself, any other man would find it hard to refuse the current her. However, Soujin merely stole a glance at her with an indifferent gaze.

"It's not the reason. I just don't have any feeling for you," Soujin said.

Tian Ni lowered her eyes and took the cup in front of her before raising it up. Her smile seemed to be forced as she offered the drink, "If you drink this, I might consider cutting my feeling off."

Taking the cup, he was about to drink it when he smelled the sweet fragrance. The smell was faint, but as someone who has high martial arts, how could he not notice it? This was the smell that he hated so much because of the memory it brought up and the effect it caused.

He abruptly stood up.

"You are really shameless!" Soujin was truly angry. He was still more or less polite to her, but she used this scheme to him. He was highly familiar with that fragrance, and the effects on man were truly something dangerous. This reminded him of what happened to Jun Min before.

Trying his best to control his urge, he looked towards Tian Ni with a dark face. It seemed he was wrong to keep her alive all this time. Should he just finish her off to avoid any future problem? However, he knew that she was still someone from his childhood time.

Tian Ni smiled. "I just want you to look at me. Why won't you look at me properly?"

Soujin could feel that his body was growing hot as times pass by. This woman sure was outrageous. She slowly walked towards the other party.
