“Before, the scope was too wide and I was eager to find the Dark River, so I didn’t have Little Lei search thoroughly. But today, as long as that woman is still on the Qinhuai River, I will make sure she has nowhere to hide!”
Jiang Hanyun’s expressions were full of confidence and anticipation. She also deliberately took a talisman and used it on the little fox – a spell that could significantly enhance Lei’s perception.
However, not long after, Jiang Hanyun’s face turned pale once again. It wasn’t because the fox was not useful, but because they received VIP treatment wherever they went.
“Oh, isn’t this Second Young Master Li? Are you planning to rest here today and bringing a woman with you?”
“Second Young Master Li, what happened to you recently? You haven’t been here for a long time, Xixi has been missing you like crazy.”
“Young Master Xuan, why don’t you wait a while? Our Miss Yuan will wake up soon, I’ll call her over to keep you company.”
“Second Master, you’re really heartless. Hanyan has been restless recently, all because of you. She’s been longing to meet you again after dusk.”
Li Xuan could feel Jiang Hanyun’s stare, almost as if she wanted to chop him to pieces. His back was still covered in sweat from the previous encounters and now it was soaked again.
“I’ve told you, I’ve changed. I used to be a profligate but not anymore. Didn’t you hear? They never said I was here recently, right? Little Lei was keeping an eye on me, wasn’t he? He can vouch for me.”
Lei ‘sneered’, turned his small head and looked somewhere else. Could he possibly watch Li Xuan all day and night? Didn’t he need to sleep?
However, Jiang Hanyun’s looked more relaxed, “In the future, don’t let me find out that you’ve visited places like this again.”
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, her face blushed again. She thought to herself, with what right does she have to control whether he goes to these places or not?
“I definitely won’t come!” Li Xuan raised his hand, swearing earnestly, “If I ever step into places like this again without good reason, let alone you, the Xiaowei, I would chop off my feet myself.”
At this moment, they just arrived at the door of the sixth brothel along the river, called the ‘Xueyue House’. They had just stepped inside when they heard a voice full of pleasant surprise, “Isn’t this Young Master Xuan?”
With a whiff of fragrance, a woman in a green skirt darted directly towards Li Xuan’s arms.
Li Xuan was cursing inwardly – exactly how many pitfalls did his past self dig for him? This guy was still so young, only eighteen years old, yet he slept with women from all the hundreds of brothels along the Qinhuai River?
He hastily dodged to the side, avoiding the woman in the green skirt.
The woman turned out to be a voluptuous and gorgeous lady. After her failed attempt, she looked at Li Xuan in astonishment, “What’s wrong with you, Young Master Xuan? Why are you suddenly shy?”
She swayed her body as she came towards Li Xuan, trying to cling to his arm, “Or did you forget about Feifei? Men really are heartless. Just over a month ago, we were so affectionate, but now there’s no place for Feifei in your heart. You promised to visit me often…”
“Lady, respect yourself! I, Li Xuan, have turned over a new leaf.” Li Xuan forcefully removed the woman’s hand. His legs were shaking. He felt Jiang Hanyun’s killing intent rising rapidly, far exceeding any other time.
“Turned over a new leaf?” The woman in the green skirt was even more puzzled, “But Mr. Peng booked a room in our Xueyue House not long ago. Young Master Yue even ordered the three most popular girls in our house for you. They said it was for your birthday celebration and to give you a surprise. There would be a ‘one dragon and three phoenixes’—”
As she said this, she noticed something was wrong. The atmosphere at the entrance of Xueyue House somehow turned cold as ice. A beautiful young woman standing nearby was looking at Li Xuan with a cold and sharp gaze, as if she was deliberating on how to cleanly kill Li Xuan with a knife.
Li Xuan’s face turned pale under the surge of murderous aura. Not only was he stammering in his speech, but his voice was trembling as well, “That, that, that was Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue acting on their own. I, I didn’t agree to it—”
At that moment, he felt that he was dug into a pit by Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue. The biggest trap of today was actually set by his own buddies.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Hanyun, with an emotionless expression, turned around and walked out of the door. Seeing this, Li Xuan hurried to follow, “Are you not going to search the Xueyue House?”
“Little Lei said that the woman is not here.” Jiang Hanyun’s voice was completely cold, “You, Li Xuan, are really good. Just after turning over a new leaf, you are playing ‘one dragon and three phoenixes’.”
“I think I can explain about this—”
Li Xuan tried to prove his innocence, but at that moment, he saw a black shadow coming towards him.
He was all too familiar with this situation. It had just happened in the underground Dark River.
A look of despair crossed Li Xuan’s face. As expected, the next moment he saw stars. His eyesight went completely black.
He thought, ‘Well, now it’s perfectly symmetrical.’ But obviously, Jiang Hanyun’s anger had not been fully vented yet. Her second punch was already on its way.
Just as Li Xuan reluctantly closed his eyes, he heard a shriek, “Jiang Hanyun, what are you doing?”
The punch that Jiang Hanyun had thrown immediately stopped. She turned around in surprise only to see her mother, Lady Jiang, standing about ten steps away, watching them with painful and angry eyes.
“Mother?” Jiang Hanyun looked at her in disbelief, “Why are you here? Oh my gosh, mom, stop it, we’re in public.”
However, Lady Jiang stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Hanyun’s ear with one hand. With a cold expression, she said, “Didn’t I tell you? You should be meeting with Mr. Zhang’s son at Yuejiang Lou at this time!”

Li Xuan looked at Jiang Hanyun with sudden realization. So, she was the one who ditched the date and sneaked out.
He knew that Yuejiang Lou was a famous place in Nanjing, built by Emperor Tai of Jin, also renowned as the best among the famous buildings in Jiangnan. Over the past few decades, it has always been a sacred place for blind dates among young men and women of Nanjing.
“I don’t want to see that Mr. Zhang——”
Jiang Hanyun could feel the grip on her ear tightening, she turned her eyes and saw Li Xuan enjoying the show. In desperation, she pointed at him without a second thought, “He’s the one who asked me to come!”
Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then saw Lady Jiang looking at him with a burning gaze. He was amused internally, but he maintained a scholarly demeanor on the surface, bowing like a gentleman, “I am Li Xuan, nice to meet you, Auntie Jiang. Since the meeting at Duke Xugou’s mansion a few days ago, I have been longing to see you again, Auntie Jiang. I didn’t expect to be so fortunate today.”
“Indeed, it’s fate,” Lady Jiang looked surprised and then more serious, “So you asked my darling Hanyun to come out this time?”
The Great Baoan Temple is also on the inner Qinhuai River, not far from here.
Of course, Li Xuan dared not deny it at this point, “Indeed! After taking a day off, I’ve been yearning for her, it feels as if it has been three autumns.”
Upon hearing this, Lady Jiang immediately smiled. However, her smile faded when she saw the two black circles around Li Xuan’s eyes. Jiang Hanyun felt a bad premonition when she saw her mother’s grip tighten even more on her ear.
