Chapter 954: Chapter 954 He is a Good Man

Brother Ye thought for a moment before speaking, "In command of the operations of the Dragon Fang gang, he seems just like a scholar in daily life, but in the heat of battle, even with a blade at his throat, he remains as calm as ever."

"I haven’t seen that," Lu Jianxi said.

Brother Ye’s water was finally ready—it was something he had prepared for Nan Feng. The servants at the Yamen were not enough, and the one who usually attended him had been sent to the imperial doctor. So he came in person to fetch it. After filling the container with water, he turned back to Lu Jianxi, "I think Dragon San is a man worthy of your trust. If you really like him, you should seize the moment and not let the opportunity slip away."

Lu Jianxi’s face flushed red, "Brother Ye, stop making fun of me. I was just casually asking."

After all, Dragon San had not even spoken to her.

...

It wasn’t until the fourth day that Lu Jianxi left home early in the morning.

But just as she reached the doorstep, she saw Dragon San and Butler Yan also at the entrance of the Yamen.

Lu Jianxi thought to herself, wasn’t he ignoring people these past few days? Why show up here now?

Meanwhile, Dragon San was pondering the tactic of feigned indifference. He had heard from those in the Jianghu that if you like a lady, you shouldn’t shower her with constant attention but rather ignore her for a few days now and then, to prevent her from getting too arrogant.

Dragon San greeted Lu Jianxi first, "Good morning, Jianxi. I heard you’ve been swamped with work lately. As it happens, I’ve been quite free these past few days. How about I come over and lend you a hand?"

"No need!" Lu Jianxi didn’t even glance at Dragon San.

"Jianxi, I’ve been upset with you for the past few days," Dragon San said as Lu Jianxi walked by.

Upset? She was the one who was upset.

"I can’t think of anything I’ve done to offend Lord Dragon San," Lu Jianxi retorted proudly.

Dragon San smiled faintly, "It’s because you don’t appreciate me. It caused me many days of sorrow. However, I’ve realized that perhaps we haven’t spent enough time together. So, why don’t we spend the next few days getting to know each other better? After you understand me, perhaps you’ll start to appreciate me."

Behind him, Butler Yan felt goosebumps all over. He had only ever seen this gang leader’s scheming and icy demeanor and never expected to see such a shamelessly persistent side. He was always so proper and serious around Lady Nan Feng, but now, in front of General Lu, he was truly... enthusiastic!

Lu Jianxi didn’t answer and kept walking forward. However, inwardly she felt much more relaxed and her anger had dissipated.

Dragon San strode after her. Although he was frail, he had the advantage of long legs—one of his steps was equivalent to two of Lu Jianxi’s.

...

While Nan Feng sipped her porridge, she asked Brother Ye, "I’ve been keeping the door closed without properly entertaining Dragon San these past few days. You don’t think he’ll hold it against us, do you?"

"He won’t," Brother Ye replied decisively, "He went to work with Jianxi today."

"Oh? The two of them together?"

"Yeah, together. I ran into Jianxi in the kitchen last night, and she asked me what kind of person Dragon San is. I guess she’s interested in him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked. What do you think?"

"Dragon San has been single for so long. He should take a wife. But those rumors in the Jianghu, saying he prefers men, seem odd," Nan Feng shook her head, "Do you think he’s considering marriage just to have children, regardless of whether he’s in love or not? Passing on the family name is crucial, isn’t it?"

"I don’t think so. If it were purely for passing on the family lineage, he could find any lady more easily than Jianxi. It’s rare for him to be so proactive, and it’s rare for Jianxi to be interested in a man. If they could be paired together, we’d have played the role of successful matchmakers," Brother Ye found Nan Feng’s thoughts to be quite endearing.
