"Your sister doesn’t want you anymore."
"Your sister doesn’t want you anymore."
"Your sister doesn’t want you!"
...
The sun was shining, and the sky was clear.
But Lu Muyao only felt a darkness before his eyes, a storm in his heart, and lightning and thunder in his mind.
Qiao Yuxian’s words kept echoing in his ears.
And they kept changing tone in his ears.
Lu Muyao stared at her as if he were a balloon constantly inflating, about to burst at any mont.
Seeing this, Lu ngyi said, "Muyao, go see Grandpa."
The inflating balloon suddenly stopped and gradually deflated, "Okay."
He responded to Lu ngyi.
Before leaving, he glared at Qiao Yuxian again.
When Qiao Yuxian caught his gaze, she raised her eyebrows at him triumphantly.
Lu Muyao walked away with a stomach full of anger.
After he walked off, Qiao Yuxian looked at Lu ngyi and said, "Co on, let steal you away to my ho."
Lu ngyi smiled softly and said, "You’re so naughty."
Qiao Yuxian also smiled and said, "Your brother is pretty fun too."
Lu ngyi smiled again and said, "He’s been smart since he was little, learns quickly. So he’s always been a bit arrogant."
"People with abilities will always be a bit proud," Qiao Yuxian said.
"When he realizes there are always people better than him, he’ll behave," said Lu ngyi.
"He’s very well-behaved in front of you," Qiao Yuxian said.
"He can’t beat ," Lu ngyi said.
"I see," Qiao Yuxian said.
Lu ngyi looked at her and then said, "Should we wait for Gu Yanjing?"
Qiao Yuxian looked back.
Old Sir Gu, Old Sir Xu, and Old Sir Lu were chatting together.
Gu Yanjing and Lin Huai Shu were accompanying them.
Lu ngyi planned to check out the front hall and brought Qiao Yuxian along, afraid she’d get bored.
But now it seed that so people in the front hall weren’t very friendly.
She was a bit worried that without Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yuxian might be wronged.
Qiao Yuxian asked her, "Worried I’ll be bullied?"
"A little," Lu ngyi said directly.
"Then I’ll have to ask Miss Lu to protect ," Qiao Yuxian said with a smile.
Lu ngyi looked at her smiling crescent eyes and said, "Follow closely."
"Okay," Qiao Yuxian said.
The two didn’t wait for Gu Yanjing and continued walking toward the banquet hall.
After walking for a while, Qiao Yuxian said, "Actually, you brought out with good intentions."
Lu ngyi looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian said, "You don’t want the Lu Family to have too much hostility toward . Appearing together with you makes their hostility towards much less."
The opinion towards Gu Yanjing would also be much less.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t say this part.
Lu ngyi looked at her and said, "They..."
Qiao Yuxian said, "They are all protective of their own. I understand."
Lu ngyi looked at her and said, "I am also a bit selfish."
"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian tilted her head to look at her and helped tidy her wind-blown clothes.
Lu ngyi said, "With you and appearing together, the discussions in Capital City about will also reduce. My image as a venomous shrew will change a little."
"Whoever dares to say that, I’ll punch him on the head," Qiao Yuxian said fiercely.
"Your fist..." Lu ngyi looked at her small fist.
"My fist is very powerful," Qiao Yuxian said.
Lu ngyi nodded, "Powerful."
Qiao Yuxian smiled and stopped talking, walking quietly for a bit.
After a while, Lu ngyi said, "Actually, I’m not as good as you think. When I first knew about you and Gu Yanjing being together, I really... kind of... disliked you."
Qiao Yuxian looked at her.
Lu ngyi said, "Actually, I understand it all in my heart. Feelings are a matter of mutual consent, a matter of fate. And Gu Yanjing had already made it clear to . I saw no one around him and was one-sided. It’s not your fault, nor Gu Yanjing’s. But I still couldn’t help not liking you, disliking you."
"So, then what?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Then I t you. I wanted to see what kind of person Gu Yanjing liked," Lu ngyi said.
"And after eting?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"I found out I kind of liked you," Lu ngyi said.
"No way around it," Qiao Yuxian shrugged and said, "The charm is just too strong."
Lu ngyi laughed and said, "Do you know what I asked the presiding master when we hiked the mountain after the New Year?"
"Can I know?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Yes," Lu ngyi said, "a few years ago, I asked the master about my relationship with Gu Yanjing. The master said the fate wasn’t deep."
Qiao Yuxian thought about these four words.
The fate wasn’t deep.
But it still existed.
It neither gave hope nor completely extinguished hope.
Lu ngyi continued, "After the New Year, I asked again on the mountain. The master said the fate had ended. That the man in my heart has already found his true fate."
Qiao Yuxian’s eyes fluttered lightly.
Lu ngyi looked at her and said, "At that ti, I was partly relieved. Later, I started liking you more and more, and I was completely relieved."
Qiao Yuxian looked at Lu ngyi, paused, and said, "Sister Lu, you will definitely find your true match too. You will definitely be very happy."
Hearing her address, Lu ngyi’s expression subtly froze for a mont, then she smiled and said, "I will definitely be happy."
Lu ngyi looked off into the distance, thinking, "I will be happy, even alone."
...
Qiao Yuxian and Lu ngyi arrived at the banquet hall together.
As the two stepped into the banquet hall, all eyes fell on them.
One was calm and elegant, the other gentle and charming.
The image that was sowhat contradictory actually appeared exceptionally harmonious together, their aura perfectly blending.
As the host, Lu ngyi naturally had to entertain the guests.
But while she greeted people from different families, she kept Qiao Yuxian by her side, never letting her leave.
Although Qiao Yuxian said she wanted her protection, she was nevertheless an outsider for the Lu Family.
She was worried it would be inconvenient for Lu ngyi to keep her around.
Told Lu ngyi that she could sit on the side for a while.
However, since Lu ngyi had brought her out, she wanted to ensure Qiao Yuxian wouldn’t feel any slight, so she kept her close all along.
Regarding the two of them appearing together, although no one said anything aloud,
Occasionally, the surprised, gossip-inspired looks that slipped showed that they were wondering: How co these two are together?
Shouldn’t these two hate each other? Why do they seem to get along so well?
Could it be that Lu ngyi liking Gu Yanjing was just a lie...
After greeting various family mbers, Lu ngyi took Qiao Yuxian and introduced her to the Lu Family.
As Lu ngyi introduced soone, Qiao Yuxian would obediently greet them.
For elders, whatever term Lu ngyi used, Qiao Yuxian followed along.
Halfway through the introductions, while calling out nas, Qiao Yuxian thought to herself about how sothing felt strange.
This scene... why does it feel like she’s marrying into the Lu Family?
Or marrying Lu ngyi.
And Lu ngyi was introducing her to the family.
She felt sothing was off.
Lu ngyi might have sensed it too.
Then the two suddenly exchanged a glance.
Their eyes were calm but carried a hint of sothing peculiar.
After the glance, they tacitly looked away, and Qiao Yuxian couldn’t help but laugh.
Lu ngyi, holding back, also smiled softly in resignation...
