Lan Ji sneered coldly, "Her? Worthy of being called a person of importance? Mi Chenshuo, if you’re going to find soone to provoke , at least pick one with so class! I just realized how poor your taste is—changing partners over and over, only to get worse each ti!"
"You’re worth provoking?" Mi Chenshuo snorted disdainfully, "Don’t stand here ruining my view. In my eyes, you’re the most classless one of all!"
"Mi Chenshuo, you’ve gone too far!" Lan Ji was fuming, her whole body trembling and her face pale with anger. Her fists clenched tightly; if the place wasn’t so crowded, she would’ve slapped this man to death.
Mi Chenshuo furrowed his brows slightly and reached out to grab Huang Zing’s hand, "Let’s dance!"
Huang Zing glanced sympathetically at Lan Ji, who was shaking in fury, and whispered to Mi Chenshuo, "Boss, will that lady be alright?"
"You feel sorry for her?" Mi Chenshuo frowned, giving the young girl a quick glance.
"I can tell she likes you quite a bit," Huang Zing said cautiously.
Mi Chenshuo tilted his head to look at her, "So, because she likes , you think I have to like her back?"
Huang Zing shrank back in fear and didn’t dare say anything more.
Tong Airui observed for a while, smirking slightly, "I just don’t understand. She wants to pursue the third brother, yet she goes around with such a funeral face every day, and acts as if she’s above everyone!"
Yi Luowa noticed Lan Ji still standing in the sa spot and shook her head helplessly, "She must really like Third Brother, but she’s just so cold by nature. Plus, her family’s title is higher than Aunt’s; maybe she can’t bring herself to lower her pride."
Tong Airui sneered, "Then let her keep up the act! Sweetheart, let’s go find Dad and Mom and ask them when they plan to leave."
The two held hands and headed to the side hall. Just as they reached the door, they overheard Long Che and Mu Ta arguing inside. Yi Luowa glanced at Tong Airui, "Should we go in?"
"Let’s go in. If we don’t, those two could bicker until nightfall. I’m worried Second Uncle’s health won’t hold up."
Tong Airui grabbed her hand, intending to enter.
Yi Luowa pulled him back, whispering, "After all, Sasha is Queen Royce’s own niece. With Dad and Mu Ta arguing so loudly, Queen Royce will lose face. Once we’re inside, let’s quickly persuade Dad to leave."
"They’ve been fighting since childhood; we’re all used to it by now. My mother doesn’t even bat an eye anymore." Leon walked out, smiling apologetically at Yi Luowa, "Sister-in-law, I’ll apologize on behalf of Sasha."
Yi Luowa smiled, "Leon, this really isn’t a big deal. I haven’t taken it to heart."
Leon looked at Yi Luowa and laughed, "You’re so much more forgiving than Airui. By the way, they’re not arguing inside because of Sasha; it’s about who will organize your wedding in the future. My father insists on handling it, and Uncle brought up Sasha’s trouble to shift the discussion."
Tong Airui curled his lips in annoyance, glanced into the room, and deliberately raised his voice, "I’ll plan my own wedding, let’s not trouble the elders with this!"
The side hall went silent imdiately. Shortly after, Long Che, Tong Yao, and several other elders ca out.
"We’re heading ho!" Long Che’s face showed no sign of his earlier quarrel as he looked down at his son from above, "Bring everyone along; we’ll have a family reunion dinner at ho."
Tong Airui obeyed and called Tong Aino.
Ten minutes later, the whole family had gathered outside the palace gates and boarded their cars. Yi Luowa and Tong Airui accompanied Yi Weiyang in one.
"Second Uncle, don’t go back tonight. Stay at the Duke’s residence for a few days. Tomorrow, Luowa and I will take you out for a walk," Tong Airui invited Yi Weiyang.
Yi Weiyang smiled, "Huo Li’s still at ho, waiting for to tell her about your engagent. If I don’t go back, she might cry her eyes out."
Yi Luowa pouted, "Second Uncle, please don’t ntion the part about Sasha to Huo Li."
"I won’t say anything. I’m afraid she’d explode," Yi Weiyang chuckled.
"Also... Second Uncle, the shares you and Huo Li gave , I don’t want them!"
Yi Weiyang’s face darkened instantly, "Fine, you don’t want them? Then return all the shares your mother-in-law, your Aunt, and your Uncle gave you as well."
Yi Luowa pursed her lips in defeat—the shares from the others would be even harder to reject!
Yi Weiyang sighed deeply, "Luowa, Airui’s here too. There’s sothing I should talk to you about. You know what kind of family we are; at best, we’re just a decently wealthy rchant family.
The fact that you could marry Airui so smoothly and receive so many blessings isn’t because of your own excellence, but because of Airui. He’s the one who made all this possible for you. And as for PCW achieving its current success, Airui’s contributions haven’t been insignificant.
