Chapter 116 - A Handsome Man’s Invitation (2)
Ji Fengyan slightly frowned. “Have a discussion?”
“That’s right, may I ask City Lord Master to please do him an honour?”
“No problem.” Ji Fengyan nodded slightly. She asked Linghe and his men to wait temporarily outside as she followed the two businessmen into another horse carriage.
Before she had even stepped onto the horse carriage, Ji Fengyan smelt a faint and sweet smell, but there was a tinge of bitterness in that sweet smell. It was different from the overwhelming fragrance of flowers and smelt more like medicinal herbs.
“Please,” the two businessmen did not intend to get onto the horse carriage, and they only politely invited Ji Fengyan up.
Ji Fengyan was also not quarrelsome. She took a big step up the horse carriage and then opened its door.
The wide space behind the door made Ji Fengyan slightly stunned. The horse carriage did not look special from the exterior, and only seemed slightly bigger, but it was like a completely different place inside. The entire interior was covered with yellow cushions and seemed very cozy. In the middle of the horse carriage, there was a moderate-sized square table and a skinny man sat behind that table.
The weather was not cold and the horse carriage was also comfortably warm, but the man had a thick coat over him. The grey fur of the coat ran down his cover and surrounded that pale but handsome face.
The man seemed to be only slightly older than 20 years as his face was as fair as snow, devoid of any colors—even his thin lips did not have any tinge of red on it. He had a pair of smiling eyes and his dashing eyebrows did not look incisive. Instead, they carried a warm feeling. He smiled warmly and when he looked at Ji Fengyan, his eyes had a faint dazzle beneath his eyelids. With the contrast from his black hair that rested on his shoulders, his fair and clean face looked even paler.
“Our first time meeting is a little abrupt, but please do not take offence. Have a seat first,” a warm and pleasing voice sounded within the cozy horse carriage. The handsome man lifted his arm gracefully to indicate to Ji Fengyan to take a seat.
The hand he lifted was long and clean. His joints were very obvious and was very pretty.
Ji Fengyan was slightly stunned. She did not imagine that the owner of that voice would have this type of look. She took a seat slowly and her eyes showed the interest she had as she looked at him.
“What do you want to discuss with me?” Ji Fengyan directly asked. It was undeniable that the man before her had one of the most beautiful looks. From Ji Fengyan’s point of view, he had a little demeanor of an immortal being, except that his body was too skinny. The dark aura of anger between his brows interfered with his immortal aura.
The man was also not in a rush to speak. He picked up a warm pot of tea from the square table and poured a cup for Ji Fengyan.
“I am the young master of this group of businessmen. I have seen the ores that the City Lord had brought just now. It is also not my first time working with Ji City. Previously, the City Lord Lei Xu had also brought some ores to me. Even though there were plenty of rare ores, they were not comparable to the ones you had brought. To be honest, I need those rare ores urgently. After hearing that you are the new City Lord of Ji City, I wish to ask if you have the intention to work together?” the man’s pleasing voice also had a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow, and was like the sound of nature.
“Work together?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly.
“If I suggest using the items we have to exchange with the ores in City Lord Master’s hands, will you be interested?” the man smiled as he said.
“Do you mean those items in the golden scroll?” Ji Fengyan pursed her lips together as she took a sip of the tea. When the tea entered her throat, its fragrance continued to linger within her mouth.
