Chapter 46: The Absolute Aura

  When the man was dragged back into the Sima Mansion, the scene returned to calmness once again. Only then did Diao Chan continue speaking to Guo Jia,

  "Alright, now we can talk about the second thing."

  "Please speak, miss," said Guo Jia politely. "However, before that, I must say one thing - the guy just now was really wronged."

  "Hmph! No need for you to say more, I have my own judgment!" Diao Chan coldly snorted, then didn't delay any further and immediately said, "This second matter, I just wanted to tell the young master that Diao Chan already has someone she likes, so please don't come to the Situ Manor to send flowers again, and don't bother me anymore! Farewell!"

  Diao Chan finished speaking and turned around to leave.

  Perhaps in Diao Chan's view, this kind of talk was already the most thorough rejection. But in the eyes of Guo Jia, a young man of the 21st century, this excuse was even easier to deal with than Pang De's "Not Guan Zhong, not Yue Yi".

  "Hold on!" Guo Jia hastily cried out.

  "What else does the young master have to say?" Diao Chan asked, turning back out of politeness.

  "Please, Miss Diao Chan, accept this peony first." Guo Jia stretched out his hand and handed the flower to Diao Chan's face, with a deep expression.

  He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to ask Diao Chan who she really likes, and have her dragged out to take a stroll. Because that might force Diao Chan to actually go find someone, and in the end it's very possible that things would develop into real feelings! So this topic, Guo Jia will definitely steer clear of.

  It's also possible that Diao Chan really has someone she likes now! But if Lü Bu can steal people from others, why can't Guo Jia do the same?!

  In short, no matter what, Guo Jia will never give up his pursuit of Diao Chan!

  Diaochan hesitated for a moment, probably out of humanitarianism, and finally accepted Guo Jia's gift. "Farewell."

  "Wait!" Guo Jia cried out again suddenly.

  "What else is it?!" Diao Chan's face was already showing some impatience.

  "I just wanted to tell Miss Diao Chan that I will come again tomorrow." Guo Jia said seriously.

  "What? Didn't you hear what I just said? I already have someone I like!" Diao Chan exclaimed loudly.

  Guo Jia nodded and replied,

  "Perhaps, Miss Diao Chan, you don't like me, Guo Jia, and even detest me. But liking someone is my own business! You can control yourself not to like me, but how can you force me not to like you?"

  Diao Chan was instantly stunned by Guo Jia, she had not expected at all that Guo Jia would react like this, she originally thought that Guo Jia would at most just cry and make a fuss, but it turned out that he was already infatuated to such an extent? But before that, the two of them had only met once.

  "You won't get anywhere by doing it this way." Diaochan couldn't help but advise.

  Guo Jia's face turned serious, his hands clasped behind his back, and he raised his head slightly, saying loudly, "I only ask that my conscience be clear!"

  Diao Chan and others who were completely shocked by Guo Jia's words did not notice that the two hands behind Guo Jia's back had secretly made a gesture.

  Although it's a bit different from what was said at first about "reading the situation" and acting accordingly, Xun Yu knew that it was time for him to take the stage.

  Xun Yu immediately stepped forward and said,

  "Filial piety, time is running out, the case over there..."

  "Alas! Oh, brother!" Guo Jia suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly, "Cases, cases, cases! All day long it's just cases! In the entire city of Luoyang, apart from me, Guo Jia, isn't there anyone else clever enough to crack a case?! Without me, Guo Jia, for one day, can't you catch the bad guys?! Speaking of which, I still don't have any achievements or fame to my name. Not seeking fame, nor profit, but just with a heart that 'worries before the world worries and rejoices after the world rejoices', I've been unconditionally helping you officials handle affairs! Can't you let me relax for a moment, give me some leisure time to do my own thing?! Perhaps compared to the affairs of the world, this matter of mine is indeed insignificant. But to me, this matter is even more important than all the world's affairs!"

  Guo Jia's words not only shocked Diao Chan, but also startled Xun Yu. To be honest, before that, they had only discussed how to cooperate with Guo Jia, and Xun Yu had not expected that Guo would actually dare to say such things without blushing!

  Before everyone could react, Guo Jia suddenly opened his coat and took out an object from his bosom, continuing to shout at Xun Yu.

  "Look at this?!"

  Xun Yu furrowed his brow. Of course, he knew that this was just a branch that Guo Jia had casually pulled off from the roadside tree. However, he didn't dare to interrupt at this moment.

  As expected, Guo Jia didn't need anyone else to finish his sentence because this was entirely his own show.

  Guo Jia waved the branch in his hand with force and said loudly:

  "I'm telling you, these are the flowers that should have been delivered to Miss Diao Chan yesterday!"

  On the other side, Ming Er directly lowered his head, unable to bear looking at it, too shameless. If Xun Yu wasn't required to cooperate with Guo Jia, he would probably have had the same reaction.

  Yesterday, I had already taken the flowers and was on my way to the Situ Mansion. But unexpectedly, you found me halfway, just like today. Seeing that you were in a hurry, I carefully put the flowers into my bosom and followed you. Who would have thought that we would be busy for the whole day, and even when I returned home, I fell asleep with my clothes on! It wasn't until this morning that I suddenly came to my senses. When I opened my clothes and took a look, the fresh flowers in my bosom had already fallen somewhere, leaving only this withered branch behind!" Guo Jia said with a somber face, then carefully put the thing back into his bosom, as if it was really important to him. If he wasn't careful and it fell into someone else's hands, wouldn't Guo Jia have ruined everything?

  Guo Jia took a deep breath and regained his composure. With an apologetic expression, he said to Xun Yu:

  "Sorry, Wen Ruo, I got a bit excited."

  "Nowhere." Xun Yu shook his head, "No wonder you insisted on coming here first today before following me. If I had known earlier, yesterday too... Ah..." Xun Yu sighed, looking extremely embarrassed.

  Guo Jia gave Xun Yu a big thumbs up in his heart, it was simply a perfect match!

  Finally, he turned back and faced Diao Chan again, looking at the mandrake in her hand, saying:

  "The flowers are very pretty, aren't they?"

  "Yes, yes." At this moment, Diao Chan was completely intimidated by Guo Jia's aura.

  "Anyway, the flowers are innocent. Please take good care of it, miss. I won't disturb you anymore, goodbye." Guo Jia said, and turned around to leave decisively, while walking away he also said to Xun Yu,

  "Let's go directly to the prison and take a look. That man has escaped, if we don't catch him again soon, who knows how many innocent people will be harmed."

  As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head and asked a maid on the other side,

  "By the way, tomorrow, I think I have a lunch appointment with Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu at noon today?"

  "That's right, young master." Ming'er, who was clever, also cooperated decisively.

  "Alas, if it really can't be done, then I'll have to help you push it away at that time." Guo Jia said, stroking the little maid's head in encouragement.

  "Yes, young master."
