Chapter 200: Chapter 0200: Lead the Trouble Eastward
Mingxiang Pavilion!
In Jiangzhong City, an ancient teahouse sits beside the beautifully scenic riverside, known to be an extremely upscale establishment.
Without exaggeration, starting prices for a cup of tea here exceed a hundred!
Although the prices are lofty, one must admit the excellence of their tea, and the tea-brewing craftsmanship, inherited from ancient times, appears exceedingly complex.
Here, you can certainly enjoy the most authentic tea.
But due to the cost, ordinary people would be deterred; after all, the expense here is far too great for the average person to bear, and thus, those who visit are mainly dignitaries and nobles.
The meeting place between Ye Xunhuan and Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was set at Mingxiang Pavilion.
Ye Xunhuan was originally supposed to pick up Tang Yurou from work, but because of Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, Ye Xunhuan made a call to Xiao Jiu, asking Xiao Jiu to pick up Qin Rumeng while he went to meet Dragon Ancestor Bodhi.
This woman was not to be trifled with; should she truly lose her temper, the consequences might be more than Ye Xunhuan could bear.
Just like Dragon Ancestor Bodhi had said, Ye Xunhuan either had to kill her directly or protect each person close to him one by one, yet he was only one person, who could he protect?
This led Ye Xunhuan to feel meeting Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was an urgent priority.
After arriving at Mingxiang Pavilion, Ye Xunhuan headed straight for a private room on the second floor that they had agreed upon.
However, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t even gone upstairs when he was stopped by a staff member inside.
Ye Xunhuan had to admit that Mingxiang Pavilion bore a classic charm, with wooden tea tables and both teacups and teapots that looked highly sophisticated, and all the staff members were dressed in traditional attire.
Stepping in here felt like entering the distant past.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" The female server asked gently, a professional smile on her face.
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, since when did one need a reservation here?
But soon after, Ye Xunhuan recollected himself and spoke softly, "Yes, in room thirteen."
"So you are Mr. Ye!" The server’s face immediately showed a look of realization, "Miss Long has already instructed that if you arrive, I’m to take you directly there!"
"Mr. Ye, please follow me!"
Miss Long?
Upon hearing these three words, Ye Xunhuan pursed his lips, she had given herself a simplified surname.
Shortly after, led by the server, Ye Xunhuan quickly arrived at room thirteen, tapped lightly on the door, and an elegant, melodic voice immediately came from inside!
"The door isn’t locked, come in."
The server smiled softly at Ye Xunhuan, "Mr. Ye, please."
After saying this, the server pushed the room door open, waited for Ye Xunhuan to enter, then closed the door behind him and left the area.
Inside the private room, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi sat barefoot with her legs crossed, her whole body exuding a seductive aura that could make any man uncontrollably desire to subdue and ravish her.
Perhaps aware her usual attire might be too shocking, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was currently wearing a fiery red dress!
The neckline of the dress was very low, not only revealing a wide expanse of snowy skin but also a deep, captivating cleavage that dazzled the beholder.
"You’re here!"
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan walk in, a dazzling smile like that of summer flowers instantly bloomed on Dragon Ancestor Bodhi’s delicate face.
Ye Xunhuan did not extend any pleasantries to Dragon Ancestor Bodhi and directly took a seat beside her, "Why have you come to Huaxia?"
"Of course, I was looking for you, the heartless one." Long Zu Bodhi looked at Ye Xunhuan with a resentful gaze.
She looked like a deeply aggrieved woman in seclusion, eliciting pity with just one glance.
Seeing Long Zu Bodhi’s full face of resentment, Ye Xunhuan felt speechless. This woman...
"You disappeared all on your own, causing me to search for you for so long without success. Luckily, I was smart enough to find you..."
"You haven’t harmed them, have you?"
"For your sake, I didn’t hurt them." Long Zu Bodhi said indifferently, "Otherwise, you would be angry, something I am aware of."
With that, Long Zu Bodhi uncrossed her shapely legs, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and fixed her captivating eyes on Ye Xunhuan. Her face bore a smile that could enchant countless men, "Dear, you are too heartless, running away on your own and leaving me behind. Do you know how sad I was, how much I missed you?"
"I even thought those bastards had killed you!"
But the next moment, Long Zu Bodhi’s smiling face suddenly froze, and her voice turned cold, "You might as well have been killed by them!"
"That way, you wouldn’t be out there flirting and causing trouble for other women."
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly. Damn, this woman...
Fortunately, Ye Xunhuan had grown accustomed to Long Zu Bodhi’s way of talking, so he didn’t take it to heart, "Alright, you’ve found me now and you can see I am fine. So there’s no need to worry about me!"
"No, that won’t do!" Long Zu Bodhi spoke softly, "You have the Taiji mark on you. If they find out about you, they will definitely make a move. I should stay and help you!"
"And perhaps clean up some of the weeds around you!"
"Bodhi, I’m warning you, this is Huaxia, and you must not cause chaos here. If you provoke the National Security Bureau and the Hidden Dragon, it won’t be a joke!"
To this, Long Zu Bodhi contemptuously curled her lips, "Then I’ll just say I’m your wife!"
"I..."
A million ’fuck you’s’ galloped through Ye Xunhuan’s mind.
"What, you don’t want to marry me?" Long Zu Bodhi’s eyes immediately sharpened, as if she could see right through one’s heart.
Under Long Zu Bodhi’s scrutiny, Ye Xunhuan felt extremely uncomfortable all over!
"Well, look at what you’re saying, Bodhi. How could I possibly not want to marry you!" Ye Xunhuan knew he had to calm Long Zu Bodhi down rather than enrage her, "You’re so beautiful, so lovely, with such a perfect figure, any man would like you..."
"Then why don’t you like me!" Long Zu Bodhi’s voice was filled with resentment again.
"How could I not want to marry you? I do, of course!" Ye Xunhuan said earnestly.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you!" Ye Xunhuan promised solemnly, "Marrying you would be the blessing of three lifetimes!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan say this, a blush of shyness immediately spread across Long Zu Bodhi’s pretty face.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly. What a capricious charmer!
But the next moment, a troubled expression crossed Ye Xunhuan’s face, "It’s just that..."
"Just what?"
"You know as well as I do that the Empress is also coveting me from the sidelines, harboring ulterior motives. If I were to make you my wife, wouldn’t she just kill you!" Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly, "She definitely won’t let you go, and you can’t beat her..."
Upon hearing the words ’the Empress’, Long Zu Bodhi’s pretty face instantly darkened.
