Gu Chaoyan swallowed her words, and stared at this man in front of her with wide eyes. She subconsciously wanted to push him away, but did not feel like doing it now. Flowers rained over her head, and onended on Gu Chaoyan''s eyshes, closing her eyes.


    It was very sweet on the warm days of July.


    Sword One was carrying tea and Qing snacks, as they walked in. Seeing the scene, Qing almost screamed, but Sword One gagged her and dragged her away from this ce.


    ***


    The following day.


    Ouyang Mingjing felt very excited, and came to Xinlin Mansion early in the morning, with many monsters'' bodies.


    The Phoenix Girl had eaten the Acacia bean… and the Elder said that when they met again, their hearts would be connected until they died.


    He remembered that when he became the Head at ten, he was not at all excited.


    She must have gotten up at this hour, wouldn''t she?


    Ouyang Mingjing walked into the mansion and waited in the yard.


    Some flowers were in the yard and as the breeze passed by, petals fell.


    Sword One asked, "Head, do you want to change to a waiting room?"


    "No need." Ouyang Mingjing seemed rather impatient towards Sword One. He really wanted to see Feng Le, and didn''t want to speak with anyone else.


    Sword One retired.


    Gu Chaoyan still seemed quite drowsy, when she met Ouyang Mingjing who came very early.


    She sat down casually.


    Ouyang Mingjing said, "Monsters are out hurting people again, but they were killed by us. Someone released the monsters here on purpose, so they should be out very often these days."


    "Thanks, Head, what can I do to return your favor?" Gu Chaoyan asked.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Ouyang Mingjing finally met her eyes.


    The Phoenix Girl''s eyes were still giving out coldness, rather than any touches of warmth. Ouyang Mingjing shook his head slightly, wondering what was going on?


    "Nothing really," Ouyang Mingjing said, sizing up Gu Chaoyan.


    ording to the Elder… people who ate Acacia beans would soon establish a connection between each other. From that moment on, the Phoenix Girl would only have eyes for him, but…


    Why did it seem different from what the Elder said?


    Had she changed towards him? Could it be too early for it to have worked?


    Ouyang Mingjing was very confused.


    Gu Chaoyan said, "I can be of any help if you need me, except for the marriage alliance. Anything else will do."


    Gu Chaoyan stressed.


    Ouyang Mingjing was dumbfounded.


    Why… Why was she still trying to get rid of him?


    "Impossible." Ouyang Mingjing mumbled.


    "What?" Gu Chaoyan asked curiously, "What are you talking about, Head?"


    Ouyang Mingjing forced a smile. "Nothing… nothing really."


    Gu Chaoyan threw a very skeptical look at him.


    Qing''s voice arose. "Elder Miss, should we arrange the breakfast here or in the room?"


    Hearing Qing''s voice, Ouyang Mingjing felt his heart skipping a beat.
