Chapter 353 The Performance
In terms of their acquaintance, Sister An and Lin Wanrong had not spent much time together. Their encounters on Weishan Lake, a mixture of animosity and friendliness, were some of the most intimate moments they had shared. Beyond that, their time together was often brief and fleeting. Even the most suggestive instance they had been caught in by the Eldest Miss, was a deliberate provocation by Sister An, and it did not compare to the genuine emotions of last night. This independent and unique woman had left an indelible impression on Lin Wanrong. She was sensitive, proud, and lonely. Outsiders only saw her flirtatious, unruly side, but few could understand the solitude and loneliness within her heart.
‘Damn it,’ Lin Wanrong thought, ‘I've let my lust overrule my mind, messing things up at a critical moment. What a lesson!’ He smacked his forehead in frustration.
As he reluctantly left his quarters, a sudden thought struck him. Sister An had mentioned the Miao Village, but he didn't even know where it was. Where should he go to find her? Sichuan, Guizhou, or Yunnan? He shook his head with a bitter smile, ‘I'll just have to search place by place. I refuse to believe that I can't find her.’
When he emerged from his room, Prince Cheng had been waiting for him in the hall. "Master Lin, how was last night?" he asked.
‘How was last night, my ass,’ Lin Wanrong thought, feeling irritated. If it weren't for Prince Cheng pressuring Sister An, would she have left him? He grew even more disdainful of the Prince. He gave a fake laugh and replied, "It was alright. But where is the young lady this morning? Your Highness, do you know where she lives? I would like to see her."
Prince Cheng roared with laughter. "Master Lin, you are indeed a passionate man, I admire that. But this young lady, she is proud and pure, always different from others. She only wishes to spend one night with the man she likes. When the night ends, she leaves. She is a free spirit, even I don't know where she went."
Lin Wanrong quietly acknowledged with a 'hmm', sighed and said, "What a pity, such a pity." He couldn't ask Prince Cheng about the Miao Village; doing so would only put Sister An and her people in danger.
Prince Cheng moved closer and patted his shoulder. "Master Lin, you should be content to have spent a night with such a heavenly beauty. There are countless men in this world who would spend all their fortune just for a glimpse of her."
