Chapter 45 Infinitely Close to Death
Only when you are infinitely close to death can you understand the true meaning of life!
There is no moment when Lin En's brain is running at an overspeed as it is now. The embarrassing situation he is facing now is a choice question that will cost him his life.
Ye Funi's suspicious gaze has been projected over. Lin En can show the lip print on the cup to the deputy captain as long as he turns his wrist. But the problem also comes with it. What can Ye Funi do even if she sees it?
Will she protest to Amiste with righteous words?
Thinking with your butt can conclude that in the land of this veritable female lord, Ye Funi will be vague about this matter for the sake of the overall situation. The only result of doing so is that there is a great probability that he will offend this beautiful mature woman who took the initiative to hand over tea and has obvious implications.
Such a choice is undoubtedly a foolish behavior. He has not gotten any good results from slapping the face of the countess, and has thrown the other party's kindness under his feet.
In this case, the only choice he can make is to accept it.
‘What a terrible woman…’
Lin En finished his thinking and weighing in an instant. Under Ye Funi’s puzzled gaze, he put his lips to the cup without changing his expression, and took a sip of nectar tea with an elegant movement.
After Lin En drank a sip of tea naturally, he placed the cup back on the small table.
The lilac lipstick mark originally printed on the edge of the cup had disappeared, and was wiped off by Lin En without leaving a trace. His calm response in the face of danger made the Countess who noticed the change more admired. Only Ye Funi was keenly aware that there seemed to be a whisper between Lin En and Amiste, but she didn’t know how the two reached a tacit understanding.
Ye Funi’s hands under the table couldn’t help but clench a little.
Angry.
She was not angry with Lin En, but with Lord Amiste. Knowing that the third team of [Light Bearer] finally had excellent newcomers, how could there be such obvious poaching behavior. Even if he really likes Lin En, he can't do this. The Earl's Manor has already hired some extraordinary people. What's the shortcoming of Lin En, who is half a sequence 9?
"How does it taste?"
Amiste glanced at the serious Ye Funi from the corner of her eyes and asked Lin En casually.
"It tastes good."
Lin En was just lying. He was so focused on thinking that his brain automatically ignored whether the nectar tea he drank was sour or sweet. It was no different from drinking boiled water.
If he had to talk about the fragrance, he probably only smelled the fragrance from the flower field, which was also the attractive and mature body fragrance of the Countess.
Rounding it off, didn't he kiss her...
Lin En, who was still struggling and speechless, didn't notice Ye Funi's increasingly cold and beautiful face at all. This poor child's first day at work was particularly exciting.
"Let's talk about that little thing. What's beyond the agreement between me and the [Suppression Bureau], how about we also follow the law of equivalent exchange? There is no gain without effort, just like a gardener to the blooming of a flower field."
Changing to a still seductive and charming sitting posture, with half of the heavy weight of her chest placed on the small table as if showing off, Amiste glanced at the two and made her request.
Lin En secretly glanced at the amazing arc of size, he felt that Ye Funi was also qualified to put it.
However, the deputy captain, who was as serious and serious as a straight saber, would definitely not be as charming as the countess. It can be said that the personalities and behaviors of these two people are naturally not easy to get along with, and Amiste is obviously far ahead in showing her own charm.
"What do you need?" Ye Funi saw the countess put forward a request and pushed forward.
Lin En was a little confused. This beautiful rich woman has no shortage of money or things. The industry and land are enough for her to live on for ten lifetimes. How can she trade with her?
'Wait! ’
Just now, they had done something ambiguous that they both knew about, and Lin En instinctively had a bad premonition.
Could it be?
“Hehehe~~ Captain Ye Funi, it’s not what I need, but what can you provide for me?” Amiste laughed so hard that Lin En quickly looked away at the shocking whiteness at the hem of her skirt. She had almost everything she needed, so it would definitely not be that simple to trade.
“What do you mean?” Ye Funi was a little puzzled.
The Countess smiled but said nothing, but her subtle gaze fell on Lin En, as if her eyes were conveying some ambiguous and provocative signals.
Lin En’s emerald eyes were dulled by such a strong hint, and she pretended to be ignorant of the world without hesitation. She didn’t understand what the Countess’s gaze on her meant. How could he dare to speak at this time? Did he really think he was the king of the harem? If he was involved in this situation, it was very likely that he would not please both sides, and he would lose everything!
Ye Funi’s expression was a little angry.
"Sir Amiste, even if we [Light Bearers] are incompetent, we will not use our subordinates as bargaining chips." Yevni's tone and words became much harsher as she was instantly provoked with anger. She felt that her dignity was offended by the Countess.
The nobles attach great importance to dignity and face.
Even if this group is heavily in debt, they must maintain their face, because only in this way can they be distinguished from the lower class.
"Oh? Miss Yevni, did you misunderstand something?"
Amiste blinked innocently, as if she didn't understand why Yevni was suddenly angry.
"Huh?"
"Oh, Miss Ye Funi is really..." The Countess suddenly realized and laughed, looking at Ye Funi and Lin En. "...Why would I make such a shameless request? Or, in your opinion, Miss Ye Funi, is Lord Amiste such a shameless woman~~"
The Countess cleverly turned the tables. Ye Funi, who was originally angry, couldn't help but feel a little dazed and guilty. As an extraordinary person, she was gradually suppressed by the ordinary Countess in terms of momentum.
The two are not at the same level at all.
Lin En, who was a bystander, saw all this and couldn't help sighing in his heart. The Countess was a master at pretending to be stupid, and Ye Funi was not as good as her in this regard. It was because of her personality. The words that were originally righteous became slander. Now it was Ye Funi's turn to have a headache.
If Lin En was Ye Funi, she would definitely not continue to argue with the Countess about this issue, but would change the topic or bite back. Anyway, it is right not to suffer a loss, otherwise the rhythm will be led by the Countess throughout the whole process.
This also shows from the side that Ye Funi has no knowledge in this area.
"I don't mean that..." Ye Funi's momentum weakened and she lowered her head slightly. This silly girl is still struggling with whether it is a slander.
"Since Miss Ye Funi is unintentional, why not listen carefully to her transaction requirements." Instead of pursuing the situation, Amiste took the opportunity to turn the topic back to the transaction and controlled the whole process. "Since the transaction was proposed by Mr. Lin En, then he should pay the chips. Isn't this reasonable?"
Amiste, who is full of charm, winked at Lin En secretly with her charming eyes.
