After Weng Lanlan gave birth to her son Ning Ziyi, the innocent smile that blossod on the newborn Ning Ziyi’s little face seed to heal the fear and terror in her heart.
From then on, Weng Lanlan devoted all her spirit and energy to this son, becoming indifferent to other people and affairs.
When Ning Changxiu followed Ning Fengyi’s gaze towards Weng Lanlan, she disdainfully curled her lip.
She too had little regard for this niece-in-law, who always carried an expression as if soone owed her millions, cold and indifferent towards their elders, causing just the sight of her to be nauseating.
She knew her own daughter was born with a phoenix’s destiny, and everyone was bending over backwards to please Fengyi, wishing to present her with anything she desired. And yet, Weng Lanlan, her mother, couldn’t care less about her daughter, which was infuriating to watch.
If it weren’t for Ning Yu’s refusal to divorce, she would have really liked to exchange this stupid and clumsy niece-in-law for soone else, just to avoid the displeasure of seeing her.
Ning Changxiu deeply understood Ning Fengyi’s resentnt and helplessness towards her mother.
She gently patted Ning Fengyi’s hand and whispered to her, "Fengyi, don’t be sad. If she doesn’t cherish you, we all do."
Ning Fengyi nodded and gave Ning Changxiu a pitiful smile, "I know, Auntie, thank you all for loving and cherishing so much. If my mother doesn’t like , in the future, I can only rely on you."
Her tearful appearance once again tugged at Ning Changxiu’s heartstrings, and, incidentally, her contempt and disdain for Weng Lanlan grew, considering her ungrateful.
Suddenly, Ning Changxiu thought of the eldest young master from the Dugu Family and quietly asked Ning Fengyi, "Fengyi, have you seen that Dugu young master? I’ve heard he’s very handso, is it true?"
Speaking of the Dugu Family’s eldest young master, Ning Fengyi once again put on a mournful face and shook her head, "I also heard that the Dugu young master is very handso, and that any girl who sees him would be chard. Unfortunately, I’ve never t him. I was planning to impress him at his coming-of-age celebration, but unexpectedly, that Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, this damned vixen. I really want to strangle her!"
Ning Changxiu saw that Ning Fengyi’s face was filled with ferocity and murderous intent at the end and felt that this niece was still too young, unable to control her expressions.
Ning Changxiu hurriedly interrupted her, "Child, you cannot speak so recklessly in public. If soone overheard you, you wouldn’t fare well. Even if you really want to do it, you must do it discreetly, without showing any sign, understand?"
Ning Fengyi’s eyes darted, and she imdiately smiled, "Auntie is right, I understand."
Seeing her obedient response, Ning Changxiu said with a relieved face, "As long as you understand. I always knew you were a smart child, bound for a great future."
Ning Fengyi replied with a shy smile, "Auntie, you flatter ."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the depths of her eyes.
No matter who it was, if they wanted to compete with her for Dugu Zixi, she was willing to take their life!!!
Shen Tianxing, who was cooking at ho, suddenly sneezed, feeling a chill run through her, a sense of danger imdiately alerting her mind. Her hand cooking the food paused for a mont as a coldness settled in her eyes.
The last ti, the Wei Family who wanted to deal with her had been thoroughly ruined.
This ti, she wondered which fool looking for death had set their sights on her?
Whoever it was that wanted to take her life would only et with death!
In the blink of an eye, another week passed, leaving just one more week until the engagent day of Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen, along with other mbers of the Shen family, had their custom-made gowns delivered one after another.
Only Shen Tianxing’s antique-style gown, because of its intricate craftsmanship, was still being made in a rush.
Shen Tianxing wasn’t worried at all, she believed in the Dugu family’s team. Unless they didn’t want their jobs, they would surely make it on ti even if it ant working tirelessly round the clock.
This was an opportunity for them to shine in front of their master. If they did well, Dugu Zixi would not let their efforts go unrewarded, and a hefty bonus was definitely in store for them.
Indeed, as Shen Tianxing had expected, her gown arrived three days before the engagent banquet.
Shen Tianxing, looking at the exquisite and beautiful gown in front of her, was so fond of it that she couldn’t bear to let go.
The gown had a light purple base, and it was designed by her and Dugu Zixi together.
The bodice featured a V-neckline, adorned with hand-embroidered flowers that blood across it in beauty.
Purple chiffon draped from both arms, billowing with movent and grace, giving off an ethereal and enchanting presence.
A dark purple corset cinched her waist adorned with dazzling diamonds that highlighted her slender figure as if it were too delicate to hold.
The floor-length skirt, fully embedded with tiny diamonds, spread out like the starry night sky, shimring with dazzling brilliance, extrely beautiful.
When Dugu Zixi got his hands on this evening gown, he imdiately asked Shen Tianxing to try it on for him to see.
When Shen Tianxing walked out wearing the evening gown, looking like a fairy descended from heaven, even Dugu Zixi found himself srized.
Seeing him utterly enchanted and lost for words, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but laugh as she walked forward, waving her hand in front of him, "Hey, my fiancé dear, snap out of it."
Dugu Zixi then ca back to his senses, and the next mont, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly, his voice slightly hoarse, "My Little Xingxing, you’re so beautiful! So beautiful I don’t want to let you go out!"
Shen Tianxing chuckled softly, "You see beauty because of love, others might not think the sa."
Dugu Zixi looked into her clear and lustrous face, sighing lightly, "Who said that? You think others are blind? Can’t they see your beauty?"
Shen Tianxing laughed, "Looking good gives you face, doesn’t it? That’s sothing good! Besides, you’re also very good-looking, so should I hide you away from other won too?"
Dugu Zixi asserted proudly, "Don’t even ntion it. To this day, aside from my relatives, very few won have seen ."
Shen Tianxing, rembering how Dugu Zixi stayed at ho due to illness in the past, couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of pity for him.
But thinking about how he would soon enter the public eye after his coming-of-age ceremony, she realized that even if Dugu Zixi wanted to keep a low profile, it probably wouldn’t be possible.
By then, those daughters of wealthy families in the Capital City would likely be swept off their feet by his extraordinary charm and looks, wouldn’t they?
Both seed to have co to a mutual understanding and couldn’t help but exchange smiles.
Dugu Zixi was also aware that, given his status and position in life, he had an excuse to stay indoors before due to his illness.
