The King of Urban Mercenaries

Gai Xiaolian is interested in him and wants to marry him? Lin Fei absolutely doesn’t believe this reason; he’s not crazy, his intellect is still intact, he’s not an idiot, and certainly not a madman. On the contrary, Lin Fei considers Gai Xiaolian as a madwoman, a complete madwoman!

Gai Xiaolian is not only mad but also a very composed madwoman, an elusive madwoman, one who leaves Lin Fei speechless!

Her indifference, everything about her is madness in Lin Fei’s eyes!

"Enough, I don’t want to say anything more to you. I’m preparing to leave here, thanks for saving my life," Lin Fei said, not wanting to prolong the matter because if it continued, he feared it would be beyond his control.

"You’re leaving? Or escaping?" Gai Xiaolian asked.

"What’s the difference between leaving and escaping?" Lin Fei looked at Gai Xiaolian, wishing he could knock her head open to see what was inside.

"There’s a difference, of course."

Gai Xiaolian walked calmly in front of Lin Fei and said: "I have already announced to the public that I’m getting married, and the person I’m marrying is you, so you better not run away, but if you want to escape, I won’t let you."

"What? Announce marriage?"

Lin Fei looked shocked, staring at Gai Xiaolian and said: "You’re... you’re crazy! You, what are you thinking? How long have we met? Do you know if I have a wife and children? Let me tell you, I have a family, and quite a big one!"

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, it was evident Gai Xiaolian’s expression wavered slightly, but only for a moment, then returned to calm.

"So what if it’s true, men having three wives and four concubines isn’t impossible," Gai Xiaolian said.

"I think I need to properly communicate and explain with you, miss, do you think what you’re doing is right? Is your approach correct?" Lin Fei questioned, unable to comprehend this woman’s mentality. Was there something troubling her?

Just then, a guard came in from outside, approached Gai Xiaolian, and knelt on one knee, saying: "Miss, the City Lord requests your presence."

"Understood, you may leave," Gai Xiaolian instructed the guard to leave, then turned to Lin Fei and said: "If you think I helped you, then help me once, by having a fake marriage with me, if you’re unwilling to help, you’re free to leave, I won’t stop you."

After speaking, Gai Xiaolian said no more and directly headed towards the door, clearly on her way to the City Lord Mansion.

Lin Fei watched Gai Xiaolian’s back, feeling inexplicably sad, not understanding why, but Lin Fei knew it might be because Gai Xiaolian was so indifferent, her expression seemed unchangeable.

This reminded Lin Fei of Mu Shanshan, who was naturally cold, but Mu Shanshan’s coldness was deliberate, she restrained herself, later marrying Lin Fei, fully becoming a good wife and mother, always considering Lin Fei, how could someone like this make you feel that icy demeanor?

But this isn’t the same, Gai Xiaolian is naturally cold!

Lin Fei could imagine that if this kind of woman got married, she’d still be like this, even if she changed, it wouldn’t be a big change.

But Gai Xiaolian has already left, Lin Fei can completely leave now, as Gai Xiaolian said, it’s not his fault.

Thus, Lin Fei prepared to leave, walking away to leave this place, passing by the main gate, overhearing two servants in conversation.

He wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose as Lin Fei passed by the gate, the servants were chatting idly: "The miss is called over by the master, fears it might be about the marriage."

"Indeed, I heard the miss commanded the announcement today, but no wonder, rumor has it an Imperial City’s Prince fancies our miss, she foresaw it, hence made this decision," one servant commented.

"I also heard those rumors, and that prince is notoriously dissolute, not a good person."

"Shush! Speaking such about the Prince, if overheard, it’s a grave crime, punishable by family extermination!" another servant reminded.

Then, the servant who criticized the Prince said: "What’s the harm, only you and I are here, if neither of us say anything, that’s that."

"What about me? You both wouldn’t think only you two were here, would you?" Lin Fei suddenly emerged and spoke.

The two servants were startled by Lin Fei’s voice, trembling like frightened rabbits.

"Alright, stop kneeling, get up, come inside, I have questions for you!" Lin Fei said.

"Yes..."

The two maidservants walked inside, arriving at the main hall, Lin Fei asked, "How does your miss treat you usually? Speak truthfully, if you lie, I’ll inform the City Lord of your slandering of the Prince."

"The maids dare not! We’ll speak truthfully!" the two maidservants replied.

"Usually, the miss treats us well, helping us when we’re in difficulty."

"Yes, yes, when Little Fan’s mother was gravely ill, the miss offered financial help."

"Right, my mother wanted to sell me, but the miss bought me and made me work under her. I’m very grateful, plus she pays a salary monthly."

"The miss treats us well."

Upon hearing their words, Lin Fei nodded, indeed well, at least no abuse, that’s good, plus she helps her servants, that’s truly good, but Lin Fei still had doubts.

"Does your miss have anyone she likes or is interested in?" Lin Fei asked.

That question left the two maidservants perplexed. They knew Lin Fei was the miss’s intended marriage partner, unsure if they should say.

"Feel free to say, I won’t inform anyone, nor would I discuss it with anyone, rest assured, speak." Lin Fei assured them, as this matter was important, and the two maidservants understood.

"We don’t know... we only know the miss never brings unknown men here, despite many young masters pursuing her, she never gives them a glance," a maidservant said.

Lin Fei nodded, understanding.

"Then about this Prince, if your miss marries him, what would be the outcome?" Lin Fei felt there are no walls that don’t leak, since there are rumors about the Prince’s terrible nature, there must be some truth released.
