The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 439 Unapproachable
The courtyard where Xue Baochai stayed was not arranged by the Jiedushi Mansion.

Yongxin Tickets Company intervened and a local merchant provided the tickets for Miss Xue to use. The tickets were cleaned and replaced a month in advance, which cost a considerable amount of money.

The layout of the courtyard is simple, no different from that of an ordinary courtyard.

But Xue Baochai stood there.

Xue Baochai, dressed up meticulously, was exceptionally radiant, and even the courtyard became a beautiful scene, serving as a backdrop for her beauty.

"I thought Uncle Xin wasn't coming today."

Having achieved her goal, Xue Baochai became somewhat flustered, unsure of what to say.

The idea of ​​a lone man and woman being alone together was part of the plan, but when it actually happened, she couldn't remain as calm as she had imagined. Xue Baochai blurted out something carelessly, and regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

Although everyone was inquiring about the Jiedushi's office, it was a different matter to say it in front of Wang Xin.

Wouldn't that be openly telling Wang Xin that he's inquiring about him?

Wang Xin didn't take it seriously. Since it was unavoidable, he said truthfully, "I really didn't have time to come today, but considering how anxious you've been all day, I thought I'd make time to see you."

Is that so?

Although it seemed more like a transaction, did he really have no good feelings towards Wang Xin?

Xue Baochai asked herself honestly and dared not deny it.

Hearing Wang Xin's concern for her now, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. Her usual shrewdness disappeared, replaced by the innocent sweetness of a little girl. She said foolishly, "We've been doing this all along, so a day or two won't make a difference."

After saying that, she couldn't help but regret it, wondering what was wrong with her, and subconsciously reached out to cover her face.

Xue Baochai was a dignified and elegant girl, but seeing this other side of her today, Wang Xin couldn't help but be a little confused.

Anyone would be confused in that situation.

Wang Xin smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that he was no different from anyone else.

However, Wang Xin did not intend to use sweet words to seduce Xue Baochai.

Having lived two lives, I simply couldn't bring myself to say sweet words, especially since the object of my affection was a young girl who was only nineteen years old. I felt a sense of guilt, and my voice lacked confidence, causing me to soften slightly.

"That's precisely why it's even more important to clarify things, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Saying you won't flirt sounds like flirting.

Wang Xin was speechless; he had indeed been telling the truth.

"Uncle Xin is kind and compassionate to everyone." Xue Baochai deliberately probed, hoping that Wang Xin would say that she was somewhat different in his heart.

If Wang Xin could say it, then she would be completely devoted to him.

Xue Baochai was telling the truth.

One for all, one for all.

This is something Wang Xin heard since childhood. Although it is a beautiful slogan, he is willing to work hard for it and, when he has the ability, he will help the world.

Actually, I didn't do anything.

They just didn't see themselves as slave owners.

He hated slave owners the most.

Moreover, Wang Xin believed that there were many more people who hated slave owners just as much as he did.

However, Wang Xin understood the meaning behind Xue Baochai's words even better.

He talked about love with Xue Baochai, telling her that he was special to her. He said that if it were him in his previous life, he would definitely have said it when he was in love, and that there would have been a lot of sincerity in it.

But Wang Xin couldn't bring himself to say it now.

Wang Xin looked at the locust tree in the courtyard.

Spring has arrived, and the locust tree branches and leaves are beginning to sprout, revealing hints of green and a touch of vitality, preventing the courtyard from becoming too monotonous.

Xue Baochai was slightly disappointed, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Uncle Xin, please allow me to sing a piece of opera for you. I learned it especially for you."

Wang Xin was about to leave, but seeing Xue Baochai's expectant face, he couldn't bear to refuse.

In the end, I am still just an ordinary person.

However, he was just an ordinary person, so Wang Xin nodded.

Xue Baochai finally felt a little happier and went back to her room to prepare. She had specially prepared her clothes and makeup, but she was too nervous, so she made an excuse to go back to her room.

Bai Dajia waited inside for a long time and saw everything that happened in the courtyard outside.

It turns out he was Wang Xin.

He was around thirty-five or thirty-six years old and already a regional military governor. No wonder Miss Baochai was so devoted to him. He was indeed worthy of her, but it was still unfair to Miss Baochai, since he was not her principal wife.

"Relax."

Bai Juyi saw it clearly and laughed, "He's already infatuated with you." Xue Baochai didn't believe it.

However, having reached this point, although her goal had been achieved, Xue Baochai still wanted to use more methods to keep Wang Xin in order to maintain her position.

It was still a bit chilly in the courtyard, but bearable.

Wang Xin was happy.

Datong has developed to its current state. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but everything else is easy to manage. What we lack most is time.

Who doesn't have time to spare?
The imperial court probably also felt that there was not enough time.

Now, thanks to Xue Baochai, she has saved herself at least a year's worth of effort, and can save millions of disaster victims. The number of people affected behind the scenes is countless, which is certainly something to be happy about.

Uncle Xin

A crisp sound reached his ears, and Wang Xin looked up, stunned.

Xue Baochai's almond-shaped eyes were brimming with moisture.

She looked like a little bird clinging to someone.

With her cherry-like lips slightly parted, the beauty began to sing for herself, truly enjoying herself so much that she didn't want to leave.

but.

What needs to be said still needs to be said.

"Yongxin Ticketing is developing very well. In my opinion, it can develop even faster and more steadily, which will not only benefit the present but also allow the Xue family to go further."

Wang Xin said earnestly, "There is an elder among us."

Xue Baochai looked stunned.

Bai, standing by the window, was dumbfounded; she had never seen such an insensitive person.

Xue Baochai had no choice; what was bound to happen had finally happened.

It's not just the interests of Yung Shin Bank that are at stake; what's even more frightening is the influence of Yung Shin Bank.

In the past, many merchants did not take the Xue family seriously, and even if they were not as powerful as the Xue family, they did not care. However, since the establishment of Yongxin Ticket Office, more and more merchants have begun to pay attention to the Xue family. In addition to the arrangements made by the Jiedushi Mansion, many merchants also took the initiative to participate in this trip to Datong.

My brother always thought that the Xue family could make its own decisions now.

Xue Baochai did not object.

Rather than having one's future decided by others, it's better to be Wang Xin, because others will swallow up the Xue family.

"Trust your uncle."

Xue Baochai remained calm.

"This is the Baochai that everyone likes," Wang Xin patted Xue Baochai's hand.

Upon being intimately touched on the skin by a man for the first time, Xue Baochai blushed instantly, her mind went blank, and her composure vanished, leaving her as a helpless young girl.

However, Wang Xin did not make a move on the beauty.

Neither the status nor the atmosphere is suitable; forcing it without the necessary conditions would be an act of intimidation, which is unacceptable.

I've spent too much time with Xue Baochai.

Wang Xin could not stay any longer.

“Uncle’s arrival at this moment is more effective than any words.” Xue Baochai did not try to stop him.

"You're so smart, I'm relieved."

Wang Xin left with a message, then departed under the escort of his guards.

Xue Baochai only looked away when Wang Xin's figure disappeared from sight. Bai Dajia beside her couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected the famous General Wang to be like this."

"A little disappointed?"

Xue Baochai disagreed. She could not sense the taste of power from Wang Xin, but was it really not there? Only by carefully observing would she discover a whole different world.

"It's not that I'm disappointed, it's just that it's not what I expected." Bai Dajia and Xue Baochai had been together all the way. Although they had seen the world since childhood, they were not mercenary. The two had a lot to talk about and got along well.

Xue Baochai asked gently, "Do you prefer the General Wang you imagine, or the General Wang you see now?"

Bai was stunned, not expecting that he wouldn't be able to answer.

After a moment's thought, Bai Dajia made a decision and no longer hesitated: "General Wang is more worthy of support now."

Instead of saying "I like it," they said "I support it."

Xue Baochai did not ask any further questions.

Bai was used to this, and knew that Xue Baochai understood his meaning. She was an extremely capable young lady from a wealthy family, and she was truly admirable.
