16 Chapter 16

"These words of yours had me realised my mistake, my Lady. Please forgive me for neglecting my manners. So then it's decided, I must bring Lady Tang to Phoenix City to be my fair guest." Nangong Yi looked at her, his eyebrows raised up in an extremely flirtatious manner, as he slowly enunciated the words, word per word.

The word "must" made it clear that there was no room for discussion. In the modern world, she was a doctor of psychology. In terms of psychological tactics, she had never lost to anyone, but now in front of him, she was completely subdued!

"Turn around and go to Phoenix City." Nangong Yi was overflowing with high-spirit as he issued his command. His voice was so joyful that it seemed as though flowers nearby would bloom radiantly.

At the moment, it was Dong'er who was driving the carriage. Hearing his order, she was stunned, and momentarily stopped the carriage.

"Young Mistress..?" Dong'er's voice rang out, filled with a cautious hesitation.

"Turn around." His voice rang out again, still carrying a light smile, but a trace of commanding tone could be heard that would not take 'no' for an answer.

Tang Kexin gritted her teeth. From the looks of it, this flirtatious man was really planning on bringing her to Phoenix City. Now she finally understood that the way this man do things would all depend on his mood.

If he really was to bring her to Phoenix City, she couldn't dare imagine what would be the consequences. Right now she couldn't retreat nor able to escape. Could she really be at his mercy?

But no, that wasn't her style at all. Tang Kexin's pupils slightly contracted as a strange glow appeared within them.

"Don't tell me that the City Lord has fallen to me?" When she looked up at him again, her clear eyes moved. Her expression seemed to be a little gloomy, but it also seemed that she couldn't suppress her excitement.

Nangong Yi was startled, the corners of his brows slightly raised as he looked at her, his smile still plastered while contemplating, 'What kind of tricks this woman is trying to pull this time?'

"It is not appropriate for a young maiden like me who has yet to marry to follow the City Lord to Phoenix City. Moreover, I still have an engagement with someone..." Tang Kexin lightly sighed. She seemed to be upset, embarrassed, but also somewhat struggling.

Hearing her words, his brows slightly furrowed. However, he did not seem to be too emotional.

"But for an outstanding man like the City Lord, which woman wouldn't like him? Marrying him is a dream to every woman." Tang Kexin looked at him with a bashful expression in her eyes. However, there was a hint of infatuation that was just right.

Nangong Yi's eyebrows shot up, he didn't make a sound, as if he was waiting for the next line of words.

Tang Kexin's voice paused for a moment as her eyes sized him up. She seemed to have made a decision as her expression turned serious and thoughtful, "Speaking of which, the City Lord's status and appearance far surpasses my current fiance. If the City Lord likes me, I can withdraw from him and wait for the City Lord to marry me."

Nangong Yi was stunned, the smile on his face gradually faded. He stared straight at her eyes, as if wanting to look into the depth of her heart. However, he, who had always been able to see through everything, felt that he couldn't see through her at this moment.

He had heard too many confessions before, many of them were too revolting for his taste. Yet, at this moment, this woman…

Seeing the change in his expression, Tang Kexin inwardly laughed. Of course, she knew this was not enough. She still needed to do something even more fierce.

Tang Kexin's body suddenly leaned forward, and before the man could even react, she quickly kissed his face, and then looked at him affectionately.
