Chapter 14 - Gu's Young Mistress

After sending Luo Mei and Han Yi back home with a few guards provided by Madame Gu, Xin Jin followed Gu Ling to the top floor of the Abundant Treasures Imporium.

Upon reaching the final step, an ornately carved door depicting piles of Gold, coiled dragons, and Treasures falling from the heavens was presented right before his eyes.

Gu Ling stood next to the door on the right with her hand upon the handle, as she prepared to push it open, she gave a firm yet knowing gaze at Xin Jin as she reminded "You are about to meet Second Young Miss Gu Xian'er, She is the second daughter and fourth child of the Clan Head. You should know that as a member of a Family of merchants, she has been doing business since she was in silk diapers.

Even though she isn't yet 30 years old, she is also a Level 4 Spirit Master. So, underestimate her at your own peril." She said with a smug grin at the end.

Xin Jin could clearly detect the respect Madame Gu Ling had for this Young Miss Gu Xian'er. At the very least, this made him think that this Rich Girl might be somewhat interesting.

With a slight nod to acknowledge her words, he followed her into the room where he would meet Gu Xian'er.

As soon as he walked through door, he realized that Gu Ling had not followed him and instead closed the door.

This didn't bother him much as he assumed that it was probably just going to be a private meeting between business partners, now that they were officially working together after the sale of the Dragon Blood Jade earlier in the night.

However, What caught Xin Jin's attention was the scent of incense, a large circular bed in the middle of the room with red silk sheets, heart shaped pillows, and a changing screen with a silk robe hanging from it.

This wasn't a meeting room but a boudoir.

And more importantly he wasn't alone as he could clearly see the back-lit hourglass figure of a beautiful woman as she appeared to be changing.

*Ahem*

Being the classy gentleman that he was, he decided to make his presence known to the young lady.

Suddenly, the figure turned his way and replied in a way that was a bit unexpected.

"Ah, You must be Young Master Xin. Give me a moment and I'll be right with you." Said Gu Xian'er cheerily

'Definitely interesting.' Xin Jin thought with a chuckle.

After a few moments, A striking beauty appeared dressed in a red and gold dress with Deep Purple hair, like plums, arching brows and deep amethyst eyes. Her clear white skin was like soft Jade. Her gaze was a mixture or genuine curiosity and desire to uncover his secrets. Her luscious lips wore a little smirk.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." She said as she guided him towards a couch.

"No need to apologize, I am simply glad to finally be meeting face-to-face." Xin Jin replied politely.

"Indeed." Gu Xian'er replied with a glint in her eye.

"Would you like some alcohol?" she then asked

"Sure." He said with a smile, never one to turn down a free drink.

Just as she bent over slightly, revealing a bit of her bountiful cleavage, Xin Jin got a notification from the System.

Ding!

[Mission: Win the Heart of Gu Xian'er. Your Reward will be 10,000 Luck Points and 5000 Charm Points. Good Luck!]

Xin Jin's righ eye nearly twitched as his smile stiffened momentarily.

Yet another mission to seduce a woman. What intrigued him most was the difference in value.

Why would he get more for Gu Xian'er than he did for Luo Mei? Maybe it was because Xian'er had a major family behind her? who knows.

Right this moment Gu Xian'er was sitting next to Xin Jin while pouring him a cup of fragrent wine.

It was at this time that he realized that it wasn't only the wine that was fragrent, but Young Miss Gu as well.

If Xin Jin were to put his finger on it, he'd say she smelled like sunshine, wildflowers, and money. The last of those three being the strongest.

This wasn't a joke either as Xin Jin's Blood was literally burning with desire for her like she was some sacred object. It took all of his willpower to hold on as he quickly drank the cup in one go.

As Gu Xian'er poured him another glass, her gaze on him sharpened, like she was trying to carve his face into her mind forever.

"Is there something on my face?" Xin Jin finally asked when he couldn't take it anymore all while wearing a charming smile.

"No, It's perfect..." She mindlessly replied before realizing that she had spilled the beans.

Gu Xian'er immediately flushed a bit red and was about to get up to escape, but a larger hand grabbed her own and brought her into an embrace.

"Let me go..." She said like an angry kitten, her expression only making her more cute.

After holding Gu Xian'er for a few seconds with a straight face, he let her go.

She backed up on the couch but didn't run away altogether.

"So you say my face is perfect?" Xin Jin said teasingly after an awkward silence.

"Shut up...you.." Gu Xian'er said with knashed teeth but couldn't really do anything since those were indeed her words.

"I...I only like your face and that's it. The rest is only so-so." She added without much confidence as she turned away from him.

"Yes, yes. Young Miss Gu Xian'er is indeed a tough negotiator." He said as he approached her from behind.

When he was standing inches behind her, he could see her body trembling almost unnoticeabley.

He gently lifted his hand and moved her long hair to the side, revealing the delicate nape of her neck.

"Is this what you wanted to happen when you called me into your boudoir?" He asked gently as his warm breath passed over her skin, causing a shiver to travel down her spine.

"I..." Gu Xian'er mumbled indecisivly

"Yes or No" He asked again

"Yes..." She said with a blush from her head to her chest as her misty eyes looked into his.

With a nod and a smile, Xin Jin leaned in and nibbled on her neck gently, causing her to let out a yelp of surprise.
