Chapter 740 I Don’t Want to Deceive People’s Feelings

Xing Xing nodded with a look of reluctant belief.

Pang Jinkang wished he could give all of his uncle's wealth to Xingxing.

Xingxing didn't go too far. She had done enough research and decided to just let the matter go for the time being.

After all, too much is not enough.

Pang Jinkang wiped the sweat off his head. Seeing Xingxing smiling again, he felt dazzled and couldn't help muttering, "Miss Feng, this is so strange. I'm drinking tea, but I don't know why, when I see you smile, I feel dizzy as if I drank alcohol..."

This statement is actually quite presumptuous, almost teasing.

Pang Jinkang felt something was not right the moment he said it in a daze.

Sure enough, like every other offended girl, Xingxing's face suddenly turned pale and she stood up.

"Mr. Pang, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll go back to the inn to rest." Xing Xing said stiffly, and left without looking back after Pang Jinkang's repeated apologies.

Pang Jinkang sat down, slapped his head, and felt extremely upset.

Xingxing walked away briskly, and her face was bandaged for a long time after she left the restaurant.

It was not until she entered her own room in the inn that Xing Xing breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed with her whole body relaxed.

She wasn't actually angry about what Pang Jinkang said.

If possible, she would like to find out more. But Pang Jinkang had already said those words, if Xingxing did not have a "normal" reaction, she would worry about others getting suspicious, and she was also afraid of giving Pang Jinkang the wrong message and making him think that she was interested in him too.

Xing Xing thought to herself that when her fourth brother came back in the evening, she would tell him to reveal the fact that she already had a fiancé in a subtle way next time so as to dissuade Pang Jinkang from having any thoughts about her.

She just wanted to find out some information, but she didn't want to deceive anyone's feelings.

Xingxing did not go out in the afternoon and asked the waiter to bring the meal into the house.

In the evening, when Yu Yonggui came back, Xingxing immediately said, "Fourth brother, I have something to tell you."

Yu Yonggui paused and said, "Okay, you go first."

Xingxing then gave a brief account of what had happened during the day.

Yu Yonggui slammed the table and stood up: "You bastard, how dare you tease my sister? I can't stand it!"

Xing Xing grabbed Yu Yonggui and said, "Fourth brother, I'm telling you this because I want you to go back and tell Pang Jinkang that I'm engaged."

Yu Yonggui was still a little angry: "That little fat guy, do you really think he blurted out those words in a daze? I think he is just trying to deceive a young girl like you who is not very worldly-wise. He is just half-truthfully saying these words to test you. If you get angry, he will turn around and say that he couldn't help but apologize to you, and he can always put the matter aside; if you are not angry, then his purpose of testing you will be achieved, and he will think that you are also interested in him. I don't know what he will do next!"

Yu Yonggui became angrier as he spoke.

Xing Xing looked at Yu Yonggui with wide eyes: "Wow, fourth brother, you are really knowledgeable. You look like you have a lot of experience."

Yu Yonggui was speechless all of a sudden: "No, no, no, this, this is not..."

Xing Xing burst out laughing: "Okay, Fourth Brother, I won't tease you anymore. Did you find out anything today?"

Yu Yonggui told what he had found out today in a displeased manner.

Anjiang is located in a remote area, and Chaoyang Tower's influence has not yet reached here.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Yu Yonggui had only sent two elite men to investigate here.

They actually found some information.

For example, in a remote village outside Anjiang City, which looked inconspicuous, there were actually half a hundred fully armored soldiers hiding there.

They used farming as a cover, and hid their armor in the granaries in their houses.

This group of soldiers looked like they were from Daxia, but they did not look like military officers. They must be private soldiers raised by someone.

Keeping private soldiers, in this number and fully armored, would be a capital crime if discovered.

Speaking of this, Xing Xing and Yu Yonggui looked somewhat solemn.

Xingxing also told Yu Yonggui what she had found out today and the dream she had last night. The two of them discussed a few things and decided to go to the place in Xingxing's dream tomorrow to check it out. At the same time, Xingxing gave Yu Yonggui the seal representing the imperial envoy given to her by Emperor Jiazheng when she was released.

Let Yu Yonggui's men go to the nearby border to mobilize a team of troops and keep them on standby at all times.

After all, judging from the current situation in Anjiang, the situation might be somewhat serious.

The next day, Xingxing applied the complexion-covering potion on her face and then went downstairs with Yu Yonggui.

Good guy, it turned out that Pang Jinkang was waiting in the lobby again, just like he did in the court.

Seeing Xing Xing and Yu Yonggui coming down, Pang Jinkang rushed over excitedly: "Brother Feng! Miss Feng!"

Yu Yonggui didn't look like he was acting at all. He looked coldly and protected Xingxing behind him. His attitude was also firm: "Mr. Pang! I treat you as a brother who fell in love with you at first sight, but you treat my sister like this, so let's let it go!"

It was obvious that he had heard what Xingxing said yesterday.

Pang Jinkang almost fell to the ground in shame: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng! Listen to me, I was confused yesterday, and lost my mind for a moment, so I said those offensive words to Miss Feng. I, I reflected deeply on it when I went home yesterday. I wanted to apologize last night, but I was afraid of disturbing Miss Feng's rest and making a mistake. So, so today..."

Yu Yonggui waved his sleeves and sneered, "I don't deserve this apology from Master Pang. My sister is already engaged, but Master Pang openly said those words to her. I am too lazy to say more about the contempt and neglect! Please go back, Master Pang!"

Pang Jinkang was struck by lightning.

"Are you engaged?"

Yu Yonggui sneered: "My sister is beautiful, and my family is willing to give her our family property as a gift. Isn't it normal for her to have an engagement?"

Pang Jinkang's face turned pale and he was distraught: "Yes, yes, it's normal..."

Yu Yonggui was not the least bit soft-hearted and said bluntly: "Then please let me go first, Master Pang. My sister and I are going out to play."

Pang Jinkang stepped aside in despair.

Yu Yonggui took Xingxing into the carriage and drove away.

Pang Jinkang was in a daze all the way back to the prefectural government.

Mrs. Luo, the mistress of the prefecture, was drinking tea in the room. When she heard the maid say that the young master had returned, she smiled in surprise: "He has been out every day these days, more often than his father has been to the government office. How come he is back so early today?"

The maid hesitated: "Young Master, Young Master seems to be in a bad mood..."

"Oh? Then I'll go see Kang'er." Luo held the maid's hand and went to Pang Jinkang's yard, but saw that Pang Jinkang's door was locked and he had driven all the servants out.

Luo was getting more and more confused: "What's wrong with this little devil?"

Luo went to knock on the door herself: "Kang'er? Kang'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you lock yourself in the room? Didn't you go out to play with your friends today? Or did you lose money? If you lose money, just tell me and I'll get it for you."
