Xiu Jie was very polite when he was faced with Xie Yan, who was the guest whilst he was a servant. It was totally reasonable when he treated him nicely.

Xiu Jie had always been very good at paying attention to details. That fit his own personality, not because Gu Chaoyan had taught him anything, but because Gu Chaoyan liked the way he dealt with different things.

Seeing Xiu Jie treating him nicely, Xie Yan could not help but smile. He was very satisfied by how he was treated at Xinlin Mansion.

All the servants at Xinlin Mansion were well-behaved. That must be because Gu Chaoyan did favor him and she was telling them to treat him in this way.

Xie Yan waved his hands at Xiu Jie, telling him to take a seat first, then he asked casually, “Xiu Jie, you have been working for Lady Chaoyan for quite a while, what do you think Lady Chaoyan is like?”

When Lady Chaoyan was mentioned Xiu Jie got really excited, and his eyes were sparkling.

For him, Lady Chaoyan was someone he really admired and respected.

He began speaking. “Our Elder Miss looks very cold and barely smiles, but she is a really nice woman. For example, since I began to work for Elder Miss, she has been treating us well in all aspects. And she never regards us as servants, but as her equal.”

“…”

“Elder Miss is not strict at all. We who work for her have only one rule – we should never betray her, but she has no other restrictions against us.”

“…”

“Elder Miss is very easy to serve. She loves tea, so as long as we have tea she likes ready for her, she would be very satisfied.”

“…”

Xiu Jie just could not stop speaking highly of Gu Chaoyan’s merits.

Xie Yan almost got tired hearing those compliments. He interrupted him. “I got it, your Elder Miss is a really nice person!”

Xiu Jie nodded seriously.

Xie Yan asked nothing more, otherwise he would get fed up with hearing any more compliments. So he asked Xiu Jie to go back to his own business.

Well…

At this moment, he became even more confident.

Gu Chaoyan was a very tricky girl who could maximize her own interests. He did not think that she was an ordinary girl who could be driven away so easily.

However, she spent so much effort trying to keep him. Look at what Xiu Jie said – he must have been prepared just to lure him, but Xie Yan was a clear-minded and intelligent man of his age.

He had his own judgment.

Gu Chaoyan was tricky, but she was indeed nice.

He could stay, but she had to be more sincere than she was now. She needed to negotiate with him and come to an agreement with him so that a deal could be made.

As Xie Yan thought about this, he started to eat dinner with an assured heart.

He believed that everything was within his control.

The following day…

At the Crown Prince’s mansion.

Gu Yunhe had already received Gu Ruxue’s message, so he hurried to the Crown Prince’s Mansion the following morning and decided to carry out discussions with Gu Ruxue in detail.

He had never been so devoted to anything else before.

This was a totally different thing for him.

When Gu Ruxue saw Gu Yunhe she looked impatient. “Brother, didn’t I tell you before?!”

“What did you tell me?” Gu Yunhe asked confusedly.
