Li Yuanji chuckled softly and lowered his voice, "Young Master Wang, look, Miss Dan Bingbing should still remember the last time's excitement! I've always wanted to see what she looks like. Let me tag along with you for some good fortune!"
Well! Since Li Yuanji said so, Li Jiancheng decided to go along with it.
Seeing Li Jiancheng nod, Li Yuanji immediately turned to Liang Jing and said, "Since Miss Dan Bingbing has graciously invited us, we can't refuse her hospitality. Let's go!"
Refuse her hospitality? I just want to peel off her clothes! Li Jiancheng thought wickedly to himself.
Fine! Let's see what this girl looks like.
If she's been praised like that, she must be quite beautiful, right? She surely won't be wearing a veil this time, will she?
Hmm, studies show that looking at beautiful women can extend one's lifespan...
Soon, Liang Jing led Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji onto the painted boat docked by the shore.
As soon as the two entered the boat, a young woman inside stood up and greeted them, "Greetings, Young Master Wang and Young Master Zhang!"
"You are Dan Bingbing?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were momentarily taken aback, staring intently at Dan Bingbing.
To be honest, this woman was indeed beautiful.
Not just beautiful; she was captivating!
Incredibly captivating!
Charming yet not vulgar, alluring yet not demonic!
She was perfectly proportioned—full where it mattered and delicate where it counted.
Indeed, she was a rare gem! No wonder those wolves were so eager to flock to her.
"Indeed, I am the one," Dan Bingbing replied with a charming smile.
With that smile, she became even more enchanting.
She had the aura of a mesmerizing beauty whose smile could topple cities.
Li Yuanji suppressed his inner excitement and said in a flowery manner, "I've long heard that Miss Dan Bingbing is exceptionally talented. Today, seeing your true self confirms that the rumors are indeed true..."
"You flatter me, Young Master Zhang," Dan Bingbing giggled again and invited the two to take a seat while instructing Liang Jing to serve them tea.
As soon as Li Yuanji sat down, he continued to stare intently at Dan Bingbing.
Li Jiancheng looked speechless at the scene before him. Come on, you are a prince; what kind of beautiful women haven’t you seen? Besides, Consort Qi is exceptionally beautiful!
“Ahem…” Li Jiancheng lightly cleared his throat to remind his fourth brother and then asked Dan Bingbing, “May I ask what Miss Dan would like to discuss with us?”
Dan Bingbing chuckled softly, “Oh, just a casual chat! I greatly admire Young Master Wang’s talents. I regretted not being able to talk more with Young Master Wang at Qunfang Garden, so when I happened to see Young Master Wang and Young Master Zhang today, I thought to invite Young Master Wang for a conversation and also to ask Young Master Zhang about how to play Mahjong…”
“I see.”
Li Jiancheng chuckled, “To be honest, I don’t have much talent; those poems are all copied from others! However, you could have Li Yuanji teach you how to play Mahjong.”
“No, no!” Li Yuanji snapped back to reality and waved his hand. “Actually, it was Young Master Wang who taught me how to play Mahjong. Young Master Wang is better at it than I am. If Miss Dan wants to learn how to play Mahjong, you can ask Young Master Wang.”
“Really?” Dan Bingbing asked in surprise.
“Really!” Li Yuanji nodded repeatedly and secretly flashed a mischievous smile at Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji with confusion. What does this fourth brother mean? Why does it feel like he’s trying to set me up with Dan Bingbing? Is he really that kind-hearted? Playing the role of a matchmaker now?
“Young Master Wang, you must teach me how to play Mahjong well!” Dan Bingbing said with a smile, her eyes sparkling as if they were radiating electricity.
“Of course,” Li Jiancheng laughed heartily. “As long as you don’t want to discuss poetry or literature with me.”
At that moment, Li Yuanji suddenly slapped his forehead and stood up, apologizing to the two of them, “I just remembered I have an appointment to discuss something. You two take your time chatting; I’ll be leaving first.”
“Huh?” Li Jiancheng was slightly taken aback and immediately said, “Let me see you off!”
Saying this, Li Jiancheng followed Li Yuanji out.
“What’s going on with you?” Li Jiancheng quietly asked Li Yuanji. “Weren’t you quite taken with her? Why are you suddenly leaving? Are you feeling shy all of a sudden?”
Li Yuanji shy? Li Jiancheng knew that was impossible.
“I’m just curious about what she looks like,” Li Yuanji chuckled. “Big Brother, my fourth brother can’t compare to you! I have self-awareness! Besides, the last prize was meant for you. A woman like Dan Bingbing, who is both talented and beautiful, is someone only you deserve! This opportunity should naturally be left for you!”
With that, Li Yuanji dashed away.
Watching Li Yuanji’s retreating figure, Li Jiancheng couldn’t help but frown. What game is this fourth brother playing? Is he really as lecherous as he pretends to be?
But why was he running so fast at that moment?
After watching Li Yuanji leave, Li Jiancheng returned to the room. At this time, Dan Bingbing had already asked Liang Jing to bring out the Mahjong.
Seeing Li Jiancheng enter, Dan Bingbing dismissed Liang Jing. Her actions made Li Jiancheng's mind wander. Could this woman be trying to seduce him? Or had she already guessed his identity? Otherwise, why would she still engage in conversation after he openly admitted that the poems were copied? Surely it couldn't be just because she found him handsome?
Li Jiancheng thought to himself, feeling a bit vain, and instructed Ma Qiang to wait outside as well.
"Miss Dan Bingbing, isn't it inappropriate for us, a lone man and woman, to be alone in a room together?" Li Jiancheng sat down opposite her, beginning to test her reactions.
"What’s inappropriate about it?" Dan Bingbing smiled sweetly. "Could it be that Young Master Wang is afraid that being with a young lady like me will tarnish your reputation?"
"I don’t have much of a reputation to begin with, so how could it be tarnished?" Li Jiancheng lightly shook his head, deliberately sizing up Dan Bingbing's graceful figure. "Aren't you afraid I might do something inappropriate?"
Dan Bingbing gently shook her head. "I believe Young Master Wang is a gentleman."
Gentleman? That sounded like a modern woman giving someone a 'good guy' card.
Li Jiancheng chuckled and shook his head. "There are no gentlemen in this world; what we call gentlemen are merely lecherous men with great patience!"
Dan Bingbing was taken aback, savoring Li Jiancheng's words before laughing softly. "Young Master Wang, that’s quite an interesting perspective. So does that mean you are also a lecherous man with great patience?"
"No, no." Li Jiancheng shook his head lightly. "I am simply a lecherous man but without patience!"
Hearing his words, Dan Bingbing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Jiancheng asked, puzzled.
Dan Bingbing smiled and said, "I find Young Master Wang very amusing. Everyone cherishes their reputation and takes pride in being considered a gentleman, yet only Young Master Wang openly admits to being a lecherous man!"
"Being a gentleman is too tiring; it's much better to be a lecherous man," Li Jiancheng laughed heartily and moved closer to Dan Bingbing. "Miss Dan Bingbing, on such a beautiful day, let’s talk about some romantic matters!"
