Chapter 88: Promise



Not long after Gongsun Zixing carried Zongzheng Xiaoting away, Zongzheng Xiaoting opened his eyes and was about to speak when Gongsun Zixing whispered, "If someone is following you, you have to act out the whole play. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded obediently, half-closed his eyes, and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

However, with half-closed eyes, I just happened to see Gongsun Zixing's chin, which was round and slightly pointed, and his double-lidded eyes on his high nose were very bright. Looking at him from a close distance, this world's richest businessman had a good-looking face, but he didn't have an overbearing aura, but a round and smooth face.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but smile, it seemed a little wrong to describe it as round. However, this person really can't be judged by appearance.

There wasn't even the slightest smell of copper, and even at this moment when he was holding me and acting, he was so elegant, like an immortal who had been banished to earth, graceful and spotless, as if his emotions were calm and nothing could arouse his greed, anger or delusion.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at her recklessly, commenting on her from beginning to end, until...

"Have you seen enough?" A gentle voice asked with an almost inaudible smile.

"Uh, hey, are we here yet?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed dryly.

"This is Yingxue Villa. Those who follow us can only stay outside the villa, don't worry, young lady." Gongsun Zixing placed Zong Zheng Xiaoting on the couch and then replied with a smile.

"Yingxue Villa? Your residence?"

"Exactly."

"Thank you very much for saving me, sir." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded in thanks.

Gongsun Zixing sat down at one side and said, "Actually, I also want to know, what made the young lady dare to gamble like this?"

"If I say it's intuition, would you believe me?"

"Half and half, but if the lady has any difficulties in speaking, I will naturally respect that. But, I wonder how the lady plans to repay you for saving my life?" Gongsun Zixing kept a polite smile, and therefore, the words asking for credit and reward sounded polite and not abrupt when they came out of his mouth.

Gongsun Zixing asked this question with anticipation in his eyes.

This is really annoying! Zong Zheng Xiaoting thought to himself, here comes another person who is curious about me, are these ancient people so curious about things that they don’t see often?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but raise his hand and lean it on the table, rubbing his eyebrows. However, the moment he touched the table, he blinked in disbelief.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting then realized that the place where he was sitting was actually on warm jade. This couch was actually carved entirely from warm jade!

Rich people! It's really a big deal.

Gongsun Zixing, who was quietly standing aside, looked at the man who was rubbing his brows in annoyance with amusement. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his facial expression changed after he lowered his gaze to the table. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Is this the finest and rare white jade?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting exclaimed.

"Do you know about jade?" This time, Gongsun Zixing couldn't help but be surprised. There are many kinds of warm jade, and this girl was able to tell that it was white jade just by touching it. It was indeed not simple.

"I can't say anything else, but jade is my strong point. But I don't think anyone would be willing to use it like this?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting said, stroking every inch of the edge.

"Isn't it a waste to use these warm jades just for viewing?" Gongsun Zixing said.

"Even a person with great wealth and power may not have the same understanding as you." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed into an arc because of the smile from the heart. Then, as if he had thought of something, he deliberately said to Gongsun Zixing: "Young master, you are talking about repaying. First, men and women should not touch each other, and second, I have no way to repay such a great favor. How about repaying me with your body?"

Gongsun Zixing shook his head and said, "That's wrong. It's a temporary measure. The so-called no physical contact between men and women is just to relieve the young lady temporarily. If the young lady pledges her body to me, I'm afraid people who don't know her will think that she has ulterior motives."

"Since you have such aspirations, can you also have such vision that it is not worth mentioning even if it is just a piece of cake?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and looked up at Gongsun Zixing.

When asked this by Zong Zheng Xiaoting, Gongsun Zixing was shocked and realized that he had fallen into the woman's plan.

"It's rare to meet someone who is not bound by the worldly affairs. Miss, are you serious? Is she a palace maid?" Gongsun Zixing asked with a smile.

Should I be honest? This person is helpful, but he is also very smart. I am afraid that if he deceives me once, he will not have a chance to be my friend, right? If we can really open our hearts, we will be the most loyal friends.

Although he looks elegant and peaceful, he actually has a fire burning in his heart, right?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting was secretly weighing whether to follow his intuition and reveal his identity, or to hide it?

"Sir, do you think there is any difference?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked instead of answering.

Gongsun Zixing was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Identity is just the beginning of acquaintance."

This person is indeed a little different.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting thought about it again and again, and then laughed softly, "It is a noble friendship. I believe that you are not an ordinary person. I am Zong Zheng Xiaoting."

Zongzheng Xiaoting? The second princess of Luozha Kingdom?

Gongsun Zixing raised his eyebrows slightly, and the surprise in his eyes was soon replaced by a look of astonishment. He was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Zongzheng Xiaoting's words.

"It is important to be sincere to each other. Since Master Gongsun is able to think without being bound by worldly things, why should he be so rigid about etiquette?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words, "It is the friendship that is precious", really shocked Gongsun Zixing greatly at this moment. He knew very well that not being bound by etiquette was just for him, and he could be so arrogant and unrestrained because he had the financial power to look down on everything. However, for the princess in the deep palace, it was even more incredible and precious!

Being a princess since childhood, she must have been exposed to the doctrines of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Whether it was status or etiquette, it would be even more difficult to change, right? Moreover, now that the princess's identity was known, then, the pursuit of the War God Prince just now, wasn't it the princess's plan to escape the marriage?

Since she was planning to elope, her identity should be as secret as possible. But at this moment, with just one sentence, "It's important to be friendly with others", she told me her identity. What kind of courage is this?

Seeing that Gongsun Zixing didn't know what to do, Zongzheng Xiaoting spoke up, "I feel that if I escape the marriage, I will have to give up my status as a princess. So, why don't you treat me like an ordinary person? Besides, it's rare for me to meet someone like you who doesn't stick to conventions. I really hope to make friends with you."

"Princess!" Gongsun Zixing was shocked by Zong Zheng Xiaoting's frank words.

"If you are really not afraid of the world and are willing to make this friend, I would rather hear you call me Xiaoting." Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked at Gongsun Zixing and waited quietly.
