Long Lin finally learnt his lesson.

Taking this opportunity, he hurriedly knocked on the bodyguards' doors to mingle with the three men. He did not give mint and Xi Wanting any more opportunities to cause trouble.

Xi Wanting stopped walking, she was silent for a while, then spoke again, "I will make that monkey love to see you get punished."

"Are you afraid?" Pointy looked at Xi Wanting with an aggressive gaze.

"Aren't you the same? If not for the restraints from the cauldron industry, are you able to control where Long Lin would have gone to? " Xi Wanting was not to be outdone, her gaze was sharp as a knife, "He is a huge dragon that can fly freely, neither you nor I are able to determine where he is going."

"However, at the very least, I can freely chase after him. However, you can only watch as he disappeared into the clouds, disappearing from your life."

"You can't catch him." Xi Wanting sighed, and said, "People who have nothing to ask for are the most terrifying. He doesn't want money, he doesn't want power, he doesn't want love for beauty, so, if he wants to leave, you cannot keep him."

"I'm very curious, is he really here for the sake of owing your family's old housekeeper, Old Master Chang Gui, a favor?" "If it's just a favor, he should have already paid it."

"Is that important?" Xi Wanting looked at the mint, and asked thoughtfully.

"Very important." "I always had the feeling that his purpose in staying was to protect you. If so, I'd have to change my strategy."

Xi Wanting fell into deep thought again.

She had felt the sensation of the mint before, but she really couldn't think of a reason why Long Lin would always protect her.

It was just as Pointy said, if it was just to repay Grandpa Chang Gui for his kindness, he should have already paid it all back.

Why did she protect me?

In love with me? It should not be possible;

You want to use me? If it was really like this, Grandpa Chang Gui would definitely not let him stay.

What was his purpose?

Xi Wanting could not help but feel somewhat conflicted.

"Then why do you think he protected me?" Xi Wanting could not help but ask.

"There are two possibilities. First, you look too much like Wan Rou. He may not have fallen in love with you, but you can prolong his thoughts about Wan Rou. At the very least, he won't spend too much time obscuring her features, he wants to leave behind permanent memories."

"And the second?"

"He's setting up a big scheme, and you're one of the key players in it."

"Do you think he'll use me?"

"This is no use." "This is a loan, and he gave you enough rewards. If it's really like this, then this trap might very well be related to old man Chang Gui."

The analysis of mint was infinitely close to the truth.

The descendants of the Shangguan family were indeed terrifying.

Their analysis of the human heart and human nature and the way they analyzed the development of the situation could be said to be at a very low level. It was just like how Xi Wanting had precise control of the business opportunities.

"So, what's next?"

"Wait." "You may be important, but you may not be without alternatives. Women are too smart to feel safe."

"Would he be afraid that you were smarter than he was?" Xi Wanting asked with interest.

"From a psychological point of view, no man is willing to accept being reckoned as such. The reason why the story of Guo Qing and Huang Rong is so attractive is because it's too rarely seen in reality."

"But I feel like you're not as smart as him."

"In total, I am indeed inferior to him, but in terms of seeing through people's hearts, I am even better, just like how your talent in business is far greater than his."

"I'm curious about one thing."

"What?"

"Aren't you afraid that your openness will arouse his displeasure?"

"If he were my man, I would be the woman he would want to see. But now, he isn't." "He's not even sure he wants me to spend my life with him. Why would I want to live for him?"

"You're not even the woman he likes. Why would he stay together with you for his entire life?" Xi Wanting said as she looked at the mint.

"How do you know he doesn't like coquettish women?"

Xi Wanting was speechless once again.

This woman was indeed a wonder.

However, this woman was truly hard to reject.

She was like a poppy. Although everyone knew that she was poisonous, countless weak-willed men could not resist her enticement.

The two smart women, allies and opponents, chatted for more than ten minutes before they left the room one after the other.

In front of outsiders, mint still maintained the proper etiquette for a workplace, allowing Long Lin and Xi Wanting to walk in front side by side. On the table, it was also Long Lin's and Xi Wanting's table.

Xi Wanting kept thinking about the problem of the mint.

Why did Long Lin come to this business?

Once a woman's curiosity had sprouted, it would spread like wild grass.

Xi Wanting wanted to take the initiative countless of times to ask this question, but the moment the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back.

Perhaps, Long Lin had some sort of special purpose for coming to the Cauldron Realm, but he was someone that Chang Gui's grandfather had invited.

Without Grandpa Chang Gui, the people from the Xi Family would have already died. Where would the Xi Family come from today?

Furthermore, Long Lin's performance clearly told Xi Wanting that he did not have any intentions towards the Xi Family.

I should go back and ask Grandfather Chang Gui.

Seeing Long Lin quietly eating his breakfast, Xi Wanting finally suppressed her curiosity.

Long Lin ate very slowly, like a lady from a noble family, just short of counting the rice grains one by one. After all, no matter how slow one's meal was, it was still better than going back to watch action movies with mint.

Even Xi Wanting, who was chewing slowly and eating delicately, had finished her breakfast. Long Lin had also left half a bowl of porridge in his bowl.

Xi Wanting did not rush Long Lin, but just sat there, seriously watching him kill time. After finishing her breakfast, also came over and watched Long Lin's performance.

What is this?

Long Lin who was unable to drag it out, with two gulps, he finished off half of the bowl of hope, wiped his mouth, and said as if he was unafraid of death: "Let's go."

Xi Wanting looked at Long Lin with interest, she then stood up and left, while Pu Ji gave Long Lin a flirtatious look, and followed closely behind Long Lin.

The three bodyguards followed her closely.

"All of you, continue." Xi Wanting said expressionlessly as she walked back to her room.

He was ordered to watch a movie, how could he do that?

Looking at the door that was slowly closing, Long Lin could not help but shake his head.

He looked at the tightly shut door with interest and a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Xi Wanting had already made up her mind, but she still wanted to let Long Lin watch the movie with her.

Was she trying to command Long Lin's army, or was she too embarrassed to go back on her words because she was used to giving orders?

Or was she trying to make me understand that she couldn't subdue this man with her coquetry?

Inside the room, Xi Wanting was at a loss.

The reason why Xi Wanting was at a loss, wasn't because of the matter of whether or not something bad would happen to him in the living room, but because she was conflicted on whether or not she should follow the plan set by the mint.

It was obvious that Long Lin was protective of the weak.

Xi Wanting was worried that her heavy punishment of mint would cause Long Lin to misunderstand, making him think that she was targeting mint instead.

Xi Wanting, one of the three great elites of the Yanjing, was actually so conflicted because she was afraid of being misunderstood. If these words were to be spoken, no one would believe it.

But that was the truth.
