Chapter 846: The Empress’s Aura

Chuanbei, Jing residence…

After a short conversation, the Jing family members could feel the tension in the air and thought, Don’t make a mess of things.

Sixth Master is still resting. If he found out that Miss Xu was wronged in his house, he would probably explode.

Actually, Yin Changge knew very well that Jing Hanchuan looked down on her, so it was impossible for them to be together. Therefore, she had never put on an act in front of him and only wanted to stand out in the professional aspect. It was just that she was unhappy that a girl in ordinary clothes could come and fawn on him.

Her aura was alright, but she was dressed really casually.

And she seemed to be very familiar with the Jing family.

These people don’t even smile at me, but they’re actually so attentive to her?

Actually, the side hall wasn’t soundproof. When Duan Linbai heard a familiar voice, he put down the poker cards and went out to take a look at the situation. He happened to hear their conversation, and his heart skipped a beat.

Is Miss Xu going to be bullied?

He was still thinking about whether he should be the hero saving the damsel in distress. No matter what, she was his future sister-in-law. It wouldn’t be kind to watch her be bullied.

Just as Yin Changge thought that her words had attacked Xu Yuanfei, she heard her say lightly:

“So you’re not familiar with him. No wonder I’ve never seen you before.

“I’ve seen many of his friends, but I’ve never seen you.

“I think it’s because you two aren’t familiar with each other.”

Duan Linbai almost laughed out loud. This reply is really ruthless.

Yin Changge didn’t expect Xu Yuanfei to counterattack. She was stunned for a moment but still smiled. “But I come to the Jing residence often. My name is Yin Changge. I’m Mrs. Jing’s disciple. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Xu Yuanfei calmly reached out her hand. The two women shook hands briefly. “Xu Yuanfei.”

She knew that Sheng Aiyi had many disciples. Everyone said that parents could have completely different children, let alone disciples.

Duan Linbai leaned against the door of the side hall and peeked at the situation here.

It was said that wherever there were women, there would be disputes. As expected, the atmosphere was full of tension.

“Miss Xu, here’s the cup you wanted.” A Jing family member walked over and tried to separate the two of them.

Xu Yuanfei thanked him and took the cup. She looked at Yin Changge calmly. “Thank you for your kind reminder just now, Miss Yin. Sixth Master really doesn’t like to be disturbed, nor does he like to be fawned over, but…

“This kind of thing depends on the person. It depends on this person’s relationship with Sixth Master.

“Perhaps it’s just as you said, Miss Yin. You’re not familiar with Sixth Master yet, so there are some things you’re unclear about.”

Yin Changge’s smile froze. This woman…

She’s so ruthless with her words.

From beginning to end, Xu Yuanfei maintained a kind smile. Who didn’t know how to speak artistically? Yin Changge wanted people not to be able to find any mistakes, yet she also wanted to stab at her heart. Speaking like that…

She could also do it.

“Miss Xu?” a Jing family member reminded. “I’ll bring you upstairs.”

Xu Yuanfei was very soft-spoken when they were around. They didn’t expect her to be someone not to be trifled with.

“That’s too troublesome. I’ve been upstairs before, so I can find it. You guys go ahead. I won’t trouble you.” Xu Yuanfei smiled at Yin Changge and said goodbye before walking upstairs.

Been upstairs before? Yin Changge had known the Jing family for many years, but she had never been upstairs. Outsiders were forbidden from entering this private area.

Xu Yuanfei’s words really stabbed her heart.

They were ruthless and accurate.

Duan Linbai was speechless. I thought Miss Xu would be bullied and was ready to watch a good show, but it’s over just like that?

Her actions were too clean and neat. Moreover, it was an effortless victory. She had the aura of an empress. This young lady had mocked her between the lines. She had found the wrong person.

“Linbai, are you playing anymore?” Fu Sinian was a little impatient. He went out to watch a show halfway through the game. Why does he like to join in the fun so much?

“Hey, let me tell you. Just now…” Duan Linbai was worried that Yin Changge would hear him, so he deliberately lowered his voice and told him about the battle just now. “I was so worried that these two would start fighting. You don’t know how tense the atmosphere was just now.”

“It wouldn’t be a fight.” Jiang Ershao was speechless.

“Why?” Duan Linbai frowned.

“I’ve seen Miss Xu knock down a burly man in one go. If she really made a move, she would probably kill that person.” Jiang Ershao sighed. “It would definitely end before it even started.”

“That’s true.” Duan Linbai had almost forgotten that Xu Yuanfei was also a formidable martial arts expert. Her combat strength was still unknown.

Fu Sinian was about to urge him to play cards, but he didn’t expect him to mutter, “No wonder she can play crazily with our Liuliu until he can’t get out of bed.”

Fu Sinian placed the poker cards on the table. When Jing Hanchuan recovered, he would definitely be the first to cut him. “Are you done? If you don’t want to play, let’s go.”

In the living room…

Yin Changge didn’t expect to be attacked, and the counterattack was so skillful that she couldn’t even refute it and could only endure the blow.

At this moment, the Jing family members couldn’t sit still anymore. Yin Changge’s words were full of gunpowder. If Sixth Master found out, this matter probably wouldn’t end well. Coupled with her relationship with Sheng Aiyi, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

So after much consideration…

“Miss Yin, it’s getting late. Master and Madam probably won’t be back anytime soon. Look…”

Isn’t it time to go?

Yin Changge understood what the Jing family members meant.

But at this moment, she was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she wanted to see her master and was worried about her future being cut off. On the other hand, it was too embarrassing after being criticized just now.

Just as she was hesitating, Duan Linbai walked out of the side hall. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed. “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Yin Changge was embarrassed. “Young Master Duan.”

“You’ve been waiting for a long time. You’re Aunt’s disciple. If there’s anything, just call her directly. Why have you been waiting here?”

Duan Linbai was also a smart person. From her attitude, he knew that she must have offended Sheng Aiyi. She didn’t dare to look for her directly, so she came here to block her.

“If you have anything to say, you two can just say it in private. There are so many people in the Jing residence today. I don’t think it’s convenient to talk about anything.”

“It’s getting dark. Why don’t you leave early?”

Duan Linbai wasn’t a member of the Jing family, so he didn’t have to be polite with her and directly chased her out.

No matter how thick-skinned Yin Changge was, she couldn’t stay any longer. She picked up her bag from the side. “You’re right. I’ll come another day. Goodbye.”

When she walked out of the Jing residence, she suddenly remembered that Sheng Aiyi had asked Jing Hanchuan how he was doing with Little Boss Xu.

Xu? She turned her head to look at the door of the Jing residence and pursed her lips tightly. The cold wind blew, and her eyes were cold.

***

At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was already upstairs. Actually, she had never been to Jing Hanchuan’s bedroom before, but it was easy to find. The door was closed. When she pushed the door open and entered, the heating in the room was even warmer than in the corridor. There was also a humidifier and the sound of a movie.

His room was so neat that it was hair-raising. Other than the bed and the closet, there was only a large projector screen. At this moment, the movie ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ was playing on it.

Jing Hanchuan had already fallen asleep. The room had white walls and a black bed. Other than the two red goldfish on the bedside table, the entire room was colorless.

His face was pale, and he actually looked a little weak on the black bed.

She placed the thermos flask and cup she had brought on the bedside table. Seeing his pale face, she was about to reach out to check the temperature on his forehead when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist…

The person whose eyes were originally closed suddenly opened them. His fingers were warm as he gently held her wrist.

His voice was hoarse.

“Yuanfei…”

His voice was low and seemed to be whispering into her ear.

He had never called her name so gently before, making her heart tremble. “Yes, I’m here.”

Jing Hanchuan had been taking cold medicine recently, so his consciousness was always a little blurry. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, not knowing if it was reality or a dream…

“Have you been angry recently?” His voice was very hoarse.

She needed to be very close to hear his whisper.

“No.” Xu Yuanfei was originally indignant and wanted to ask him for an explanation. At this moment, she was no longer angry and wished she could suffer in his place.

“I missed you…” His hoarse voice made her heart pound wildly.

Her heart softened uncontrollably as she gently held his hand.

On another side, Fu Chen was still doing a final report with Song Fengwan. He was holding a book in his hand and looked down at his watch. “You’re not finished yet?”

“One more thing.” Song Fengwan was also very depressed. The class monitor had informed her too late, and she had to submit her report at eight tonight.

“In that case, I’ll go see Hanchuan.”
