When they got to the end of the street near the inn, Zhu Longwei didn't put her down. Instead, he continued to leap up the thick fence wall and then from one roof to the next until he reached one of the buildings far from the main structure.
Tan Xiuying guessed that this was where he spent his days while he was in Jiujiang.
Once they went inside the pavilion, Zhu Longwei locked the door behind them and turned to Tan Xiuying with a stern gaze. "Well, are you ready to talk now?"
"I didn't stay silent to reprimand you, but to gather my thoughts," Tan Xiuying replied calmly.
"Very well. I'm ready to discuss things," Zhu Longwei said firmly.
Tan Xiuying kept quiet and didn't say anything else, allowing him to take the lead in the conversation. It would give him power, which was what every man wanted, and it would let her know what kind of tricks this guy might have up his sleeve.
