Chapter 54 The Cousin

Ye Shijie waited for Jiang Li in the small building next to the tea house.

Early that morning, he had someone wait outside the Jiang Residence to deliver a message to Jiang Li's maid. Ye Shijie had arranged to meet her in the tea house building, and though the word was passed on, it was uncertain whether Jiang Li would personally keep the appointment.

Yet, Jiang Li ultimately arrived.

It wasn't time for her to go to school, and this place wasn't too far from Mingyi Hall. A brief conversation with Ye Shijie wouldn't affect her school time. Jiang Li tidied herself up thoroughly before coming to the meeting.

Inside the tea house, Ye Shijie wore a plain, blue-gray robe. Although the color was simple, on closer inspection the fabric was exquisite, with rare double-needle embroidery adorning the cuffs. The youth was well-formed with thick eyebrows and large eyes, quite handsome, but his gaze towards Jiang Li still carried a hint of wariness.
