Chapter 236: Mine.
Standing in the tea house opposite to the shop where Yu Dong and Fang Chi were shopping for clothes, Mu Yuxi repeatedly clenched her hands into fists at her sides. There was something dark and murky going on in her eyes as if she was struggling with something inwardly. Finally, she couldn't stop herself and turned around to look at the guard who was following her before speaking to her in a low voice. " Is it true that Chi is selecting clothes for that Yu Dong?"
The expression of the average looking, easily forgettable face of the guard flickered slightly, she has been with Mu Yuxi for a long time and has done a fair share of dirty work for her mistress yet she never believed that there will be a day when she will have to stalk an engaged mer. The young master at home might not be the prettiest mer out there but he genuinely cared about miss Mu, so why was she chasing after this mer who no longer cared about her, disrespected her like she was just a nobody when she had a caring husband at home? Yes, Master Chu's sisters might be a bit overbearing but at least Master Chu was truly devoted to Miss Mu.
However, these were just her thoughts there was no way she could question her master so she could only nod her head and hope that her mistress would give up the idea of chasing after this mer. It wasn't that she was against Fang Chi but it was clear that the mer was happy with his current partner, if he had even an ounce of interest in her mistress, she would have definitely acted as Cupid for miss Mu but clearly, the mer found her mistress annoying, so with what rights were they disrupting his peaceful life and theirs too?
" Yes, master Fang is selecting clothes for Miss Yu, it seems that he is preparing for his wedding with her-" the guard has barely finished her words when Mu Yuxi sat down on her chair and took a shaky gulp of the tea from her cup that she ordered. She was trembling so much that half of the scalding hot tea fell on her hand, making her originally fair skin to go all red. But Mu Yuxi didn't say a word it was as if she couldn't even feel the pain, she took another sip and then another but no matter what she did, the anger and anxiety that she was suffering didn't calm down, in the end, she picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground, splattering tea all over the floor.
" Why? Why is he doing this to me?" Mu Tuft's face was morphed in a mixture of disbelief and anger, causing her features to go all distorted until she barely resembled her old graceful self. It was true that she was the one who broke off the relationship but Fang Chi promised her that he will wait for her. When she saw him pinning for her without moving on, it made her feel so good that she felt a twisted sense of satisfaction in her, she believed that even though she couldn't get married to him, Fang Chi was still hers.
It pleased her when he refused to get married waiting for her to look at him but now that same Fang Chi was actually planning his wedding with someone else? Doesn't that mean that her pure, untouched Fang Chi would be tainted and that one day he will have someone else's kid?
" No! I can't let this happen!. She couldn't accept that the thought of someone else marrying and touching Fang Chi so intimately, it didn't sit right with her. He was hers! Yes, he was clearly hers, she was the one who made him into what he was today, so how can someone else come and taint her Chi!
Before meeting Yu Dong, Fang Chi was so kind and respectful towards her Even his eyes shimmered with his feelings for her but now, he was actually ignoring her! And what was even more worse was that he actually slapped her! Her! The woman whom he put as his first priority!
Mu Yuxi was still thinking about what should she do when there was a knock on the door that penetrated her thoughts, annoyed she looked at her guard. " Tell whoever it is that I am busy, I won't be meeting anyone."
Because she was agitated her voice wasn't soft at all and the person standing outside heard her too, Mu Yuxi thought that with this the person outside would leave but instead of leaving the person knocked again but this time they even introduced themselves, " Sister Mu, it's me. Fang Nan, will you not see me too?"
Mu Yuxi was stunned for a second, at first she didn't remember who this Fang Nan was but the surname' Fang' was enough to make her remember, she looked at her guard and waved her hand. " let him in, Yi."
Yi nodded and opened the door to the tea room where Mu Yuxi was resting, Fang Nan who was standing outside the door with his cousin smiled graciously at Yi before striding inside the room with Fang Hao. His expression was similar to that of Bodhisatva, his smile was generous and with his small face that was the size of a palm, he easily irked the sympathy of the people around him. Mu Yuxi was no different when she saw Fang Nan standing there like an abandoned lily in the pond, she hurriedly ushered him to sit on the chair next to her " Sit down, there is no need to act polite after all we once played together."
Fang Nan smiled politely when he didn't meet Yu Dong, he thought that Mu Yuxi was a great match for him, after all her family background was good and she was also smart and knew what she was doing which was why he deliberately told Mu Yuxi about Fang Chi's background to somehow snatch Mu Yuxi for himself but in the end, this Mu Yuxi went ahead and married that mer from the capital.
For years, this remained like a thorn in his heart but now that his eyes were set on To Dong he was kind of glad that it didn't work out between him and Mu Yuxi or else what would he have done?
Now, as long as he played his cards well, then he would be able to manipulate Mu Yuxi and get married to Yu Dong...
