Chapter 171
XunMi was a bit helpless. These contrasting comments were everywhere. But the more you respond, the more comments there are. She wasn’t here to fight with them today. That scum man and woman were about to make their appearance. She was really looking forward to it.
“XunMi, I’ve caught you.” {T/N: She’s a Pokemon now, guys. Gotta catch ’em all} Just as XunMi was maintaining her perfectly arched smile, a hoarse voice filled with excitement sounded. Immediately after, she felt a large hand cover hers. It was an unfamiliar hand but such a familiar feeling, making her entire heart melt.
She looked up. That familiar face appeared in front of her. XunMi relaxed into a more natural smile. “YuFan, long time no see.” It had been about ten days. She had been sleeping the whole time. “But does this count as you finding me? Isn’t this more like I appeared in front of you?” Her eyes flashed mischievously. That sly gaze made Si YuFan practically want to grab her and take her home immediately.
“I don’t care. You never said this wouldn’t count. Since I found you, you must keep your promise and agree to any request.” Si YuFan said shamelessly.
XunMi admitted defeat. Her husband really was a cheat.
“XunMi, XunMi, XunMi.” Si YuFan continuously called out her name, trying to get an answer from her.
“Alright, alright. We’ll count it as you found me, okay?” She shook her head helplessly.
Si YuFan raised his eyebrows and spoke sincerely, “It’s not ‘count it as’. It was always me finding you.” To him, everything XunMi said was true. Even if it was wrong, he would still nod his head in agreement. But if the matter was regarding his ability to get closer to XunMi, then he would have to treat the situation severely and fairly. Si YuFan, in his own world, had already begun planning tricks for the future. Meanwhile, the others around them were petrified. Was this still the same young Marshal Si that they knew? Perhaps he had been replaced. His entire atmosphere had changed so quickly that it was hard for them to accept.
The fashionably late Yi Ling and Yu LingXi didn’t notice anything. They only thought that it was abnormally quiet here in the banquet. After greeting the people in front of them, they turned and walked towards the half-meter tall round platform set up for guests. The reason they were here was to announce their engagement. They also wanted to gain more connections with new people tonight. That would be most helpful for their future.
“Everyone, hello. We would like to take up two minutes of your time.” Yi Ling supported Yu LingXi up the stage. He spoke loud and clear, turning everyone’s attention onto him.
XunMi had received BaoBao’s warning as soon as the two of them entered the room. Seeing their actions now told her that they were about to begin their plan. But would she allow them to succeed?
She stood quietly in her original spot to watch their performance. To be honest, scum man Yi Ling was actually not bad. He had a sunny and handsome complexion, making him incredibly likable to others. His attitude was perfectly practiced, making him seem approachable and allowing others to relax around him. Yu LingXi wasn’t very unique however. If XunMi was being nice, she would say that she was pretty. If she was being honest, XunMi would say that she was more…carefree. The ultra-short pink skintight dress only hid the important areas. Her two peaches were practically about to jump out. Her heavy makeup matched with her feminine and Lolita styled outfit looked awkward and uncoordinated.
But some men were truly mammals that processed the world with the lower half. They were already attracted to her redhot body.
Si YuFan hadn’t let go of XunMi since finding her. Sensing that she was a bit distracted, he lightly moved closer and grabbed her thin white fingers. Taking advantage of her absentmindedness, he clasped her hand into his completely and smiled with satisfaction.
XunMi had been paying attention to her husband’s supposedly covert movements from the corner of her eye. She let him do whatever he wanted. Her heart had already been swelling with happiness.
“I hope everyone will be able to attend our wedding and give us your blessings.” Yi Ling completed his long monologue. XunMi only bothered to listen to the first and last sentence.
Seeing that it was about time, she stepped forward, taking the large loyal dog attached to her side up with her.
“I didn’t think that you would still chose to be with him. You really are blind beyond repair.” XunMi sighed and shook her head. She looked at the currently smiling Yu LingXi with pity. As expected, the scum man and woman were suited for each other. Although she knew her boyfriend had been dating two girls at the same time and yet she was still unwilling to split with him.
Yu LingXi was a bit confused. She turned to look at the source of the voice that had just spoken. Her eyes immediately flashed with envy. This woman was too pretty. Her face was like a fox demon’s. She wouldn’t be here trying to steal Ling ge away from her, right? No way, she had gotten rid of that original girlfriend after such difficulty. A burst of hatred quickly flashed and disappeared in her eyes, yet Si YuFan and XunMi were still able to detect it. Immediately Si YuFan let out an air of killing intent. Who was this? How dare so look at his XunMi with that kind of gaze? Was she seeking death?
XunMi calmly patted the hand in hers. The smile on her face never changed.
“What, you don’t recognize me anymore? But I have such a deep, deep memory of you two.”
Seeing Yi Ling’s face continuously change, XunMi felt satisfied. That was what he should get for bully the original soul. Did he really think she was some nobody with no background or influence?
“Nian XunMi, you! Why are you here?” Yi Ling was speechless from shock. Shouldn’t she be dead already? What happened?
With a sneer, XunMi looked at him coldly. “Yama {Buddhist god of death} himself felt that I had been cheated too horribly in the past. He pitied me. So he had me come back to take back what is mine.” She smiled devilishly. Her narrowed peach blossom eyes were sharp and tough.
“Ah, I was wondering who it could be. So it was the loser. Humph, don’t blame someone else for not being able to watch over your boyfriend.” Yu LingXi finally recalled the person in her memories. Her memories and the actual person were far too different. She hadn’t even thought of her as a possibility in the beginning. But thinking about it now, her eyes filled with haughtiness as she decided to just sit back and watch. Ling was hers. They were about to get married. No matter how pretty Nian XunMi was, she still hadn’t been able to hold onto her boyfriend.
She was happy just thinking about this truth. Even staring at her pretty face couldn’t make her feel oblivious anymore. She was sure that not being able to hold a man even though she had such a pretty face was bound to get her embarrassed in front of the others.
Yet XunMi didn’t react like Yu LingXi expected. Her expression didn’t change. “If not because of the deceived marshal, I wouldn’t’ even have warned you. Yu LingXi, do you really think you should entrust the rest of your life with someone who can take his girlfriend’s money and resources out to develop his career, and get with another woman when his career began rise? But while he was with the new girl, he still didn’t cut ties with his original girlfriend? Are do you really just have such low standards?”
