Chapter 686: This World’s Prosperity Pales in Comparison to the Prospect of You by My Side
As expected by Yun Xi, in order to settle this matter, the Han family did indeed send someone over to seal Chen Lixue and Liang Xinyi’s mouths.
Chen Lixue didn’t stand on ceremony and stated directly that what she needed the most was money.
As for the Han family, what they didn’t lack the most was money.
The Han family had always been able to deal with this kind of trouble. Therefore, Yun Xi pretended not to see Chen Lixue happily taking Liang Xinyi out to buy new clothes for the New Year.
After all, neither of them knew how this story was spreading throughout the outside world.
And they seemed to have no idea about the danger they were in if some of Han Zhongteng’s ex-girlfriends would tear them up after recognizing them in the mall or on the streets.
As Yun Xi was buying New Year’s goods, it suddenly occurred to her that she was going to visit Mu Feichi this year. For a while, she couldn’t figure out what gift to give him, so she decided to call and ask him directly.
Soldiers have always been straightforward, especially ones like Mu Feichi, who had always been honest about what he wanted.
But she didn’t expect that, as soon as Mu Feichi spoke, the experienced flirt would start messing with her.
“Don’t you know what I want the best?”
“Sorry, I really don’t know!” Yun Xi played dumb.
“I want a Mrs. Mu.”
“…” He didn’t beat around the bush, but got straight to the point. Yun Xi thought about how to answer him, but found herself in a dilemma. She simply shut up and said nothing.
“If you make yourself a New Year’s greeting gift during the Spring Festival, then I will be very happy.”
Yun Xi couldn’t help rolling her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she asked, “Young Marshal, do I have to pack myself up and tie a bow on me before sending myself to your door?”
“If you’re willing to marry me, I will wait for you at the foot of a mountain.”
“…” She wasn’t going to talk about this topic anymore. She was worried that she might succumb to his flirtatious words if they continued.
Seeing that she hadn’t spoken for a long time, Mu Feichi sighed slightly.
This was going to be the first Spring Festival that he’d spent with her. All he wanted to do was to see her. Other things were of no importance to him.
As the saying goes, this world’s prosperity pales in comparison to the prospect of you by my side.
…
From the Yao family, Yao Ying got two invitations for the manor’s Weiya Banquet. These were invitations from the Mu family to the manor’s owner. Yao Ying took the two invitations for granted.
When she saw the invitation, Yun Chuhan became green-eyed with jealousy:
especially when Yao Ying gave one of the invitations to Yun Xi. Yun Chuhan had the urge to rush forward and grab the invitation card.
Of course she wanted to be a VIP more than a waitress.
Being a waitress was such a lowly job, so even if she could meet the Young Marshal, she wouldn’t be qualified to approach him, and she wouldn’t even be qualified to say a word to him.
“Second Aunt, you’re really too partial. You let me be a waitress, but my oldest sister can go in with an invitation card.”
“I just got the invitation cards. There are only two. Didn’t you grab the opportunity to be a waiter from Yun Xi? If you don’t like it, then forget it. You’re not the only waitress in the manor anyway. There are only two invitations, and I have already reported Yun Xi’s name.”
The meaning of her words was very obvious. She had no invitation, so if she wanted to go to the banquet, she must be a waitress or choose not to go at all.
With her resentful eyes firmly glued to the invitation card in Yun Xi’s hand, Yun Chuhan gritted her teeth and glared at Yun Xi. Her fingernails were digging into her flesh with force.
Yun Xi looked at the name printed on the invitation and suddenly began to look forward to this year’s Weiya Banquet.
In her last life, it wasn’t that she had never participated in any big events. There had been things that were worth remembering.
