Chapter 57
XunMi nodded, “This kind of person’s existence is a disaster.”
But since this was the world of gemstone betting, she was bound to be suspicious when they discovered that this jadeite family eldest miss didn’t understand anything of the field.
“BaoBao, come come. Are there any precious things that you can contribute to your Host?” She knew that BaoBao had a secret stash.
BaoBao’s small eyes met Madam Host’s large eyes for half a minute, [Madam Host, BaoBao really doesn’t have anything.] Even if he did, he still wouldn’t give. Those were things that he had sneaked away from the System God with great difficulty.
“If you don’t give me anything, then how am I supposed to do gemstone betting in this world?” Based on her personality, there was a 100% chance that she would get stuck on this point. If she was gemstone betting, she couldn’t be sure she would win based on the original XunMi’s muscle memory alone.
It wasn’t that she didn’t have confidence in herself, but she knew that she had never encountered this line of business. No matter how much a genius she was, she still needed some help adapting.
[Oh, Host you should have made yourself more clear. I thought you were trying to steal my treasures! Don’t worry about it, Host! BaoBao can feel that there is Energy in this world. The more Energy in a jade, the higher it’s quality is!]
After BaoBao’s explanation, XunMi was able to relax. “Enter the next world.” She was already used to the familiar darkness that wrapped around her.
With great effort, she opened her eyes and was greeted by luxurious, golden wallpaper and a brilliant chandelier.
She shifted her body, but suddenly froze. Limp, without energy, and a sore waist.
XunMi cursed, “Damn it!” She could guess plot point she had arrived at: the time when the original XunMi was sent to the wrong bed by An ZiYi.
“Pause time.” She received all of the original XunMi’s memories and took out the nutrient fluid in her inventory to drink. Immediately, she felt her body relax.
Looking down, she saw that besides the tragic state of red marks covering her body, she seemed to be fine. After confirming everything was OK, XunMi unstopped time. This was a power that she had stolen from BaoBao, so it was as effective as expected.
Standing up, she put on her clothes that were spread across the floor. She didn’t turn a glance towards the man that had woken and was sitting on the bed staring at her.
“Mister, I believe you’ve also realized that yesterday I was drugged and sent into this room. If I’ve caused any trouble for you, I’ll express my sincerest apologies.” XunMi turned around and slightly bowed forward towards the man. When she accepted her body, the original XunMi had sent two messages to her. One, don’t allow Xun family to be hurt by her mistakes. Two, make Le ChenXi regret his actions.
Mo WenHan propped his head up on his hand. Yesterday’s memories washed over him. He had drank too much alcohol, causing his consciousness to blur. When he returned to his room, he found that there was a person on his bed. Soon, his body began reacting weirdly. As he slowly lost control, he was angry.
But now, looking at this graceful mannered, tenacious-eyed woman, he felt as if something was jabbing at his heart. It was a bit painful but also exciting, as if the person that he had been looking for in the past twentysome years has finally arrived by his side.
When her exquisite peach blossom eyes seriously examined you, it could make you feel as if you were her everything. Her clothes were messy, yet didn’t distract from her noble and tranquil aura. As if spring water in the summer, she was pure, cold, and comforting, sparkling to tempt others to come closer and closer.
His hands unconsciously moved to his chest. When she had said that she had been drugged, anger almost burst out of his chest. He knew that anger was directed at those people that had dared to scheme and harm her.
This kind of feeling was strange, yet was unexpectedly not loathing to him. Rather, he quite liked it. His lips curled into a small smile. This was the most that his face could accomplish after years of his face being hard as stone.
But this small, small arch was enough to make the originally stiff, intense face appear to soften.
“Mo WenHan.” He wanted this woman to call him by his name.
“Hm?” XunMi raised her head up in surprise. Did she hear correctly? Did she overlook a possibility? The possibility that Mo WenHan could be her own dear husband??
Blinking her eyes, she experimentally called out, “Mr. Mo.”
The man knit his brows together, obviously unsatisfied. “WenHan.”
She blinked again. “Han? Han ge?” Alright, look at how his brows are relaxing with satisfaction. XunMi ridiculed in her heart.
For the past two lives, her husband had become the story’s Big Boss. This wasn’t something she had complaints about.
“Han ge, I am Qearl, Xun family’s XunMi.” She reached out her hand with a slight smile on her face. She was happy to have been able to find her husband right after arriving here.
With a content heart, Mo WenHan grasped the hand reaching out and led her to sit back on the bed. “Who schemed against you? Han ge will help you.” In the realm of gemstone betting, all the big families knew one another.
For example, everyone knew that the gemstone Xun family had an only daughter that was overseas for her studies. They knew that she had just returned home when she was confronted with a crisis within the Xun family. The jade-engraving Le family’s young master wanted to retract their marriage agreement. Rumor had it that Le ChenXi was in love with a commoner girl.
Everyone said that if Miss XunMi couldn’t even win over a commoner girl, then Xun family was bond to fall sooner or later. Naturally, Xun family’s business suffered from this wave of news.
This time, XunMi had no choice but to come back. Xun family needed her. If she wasn’t able to be within the top three of this season’s gemstone betting conference, then Xun family would fall from a first tier to a second tier family.
Coincidentally, the gemstone betting conference was just two days away. XunMi was willing to bet that An ZiYi had calculated to act specifically in time for the conference.
“Han ge, thank you for your willingness to help me. However, this is the first time we’ve met. I would terribly sorry to inconvenient you. I will settle this matter myself. The schemer was hoping that I wouldn’t attend the gemstone betting conference. Not only will I participate, but I will be the victor.”
She’ll start her counterattack at this gemstone betting conference. An ZiYi, Le Chen Xi. Are you prepared?
Mo WenHan flashed with unhappiness as he clasped XunMi’s hands tighter. “Tell me.” All those that dare hurt her must suffer.
XunMi sighed, “Han ge.” Seeing his resolute eyes, XunMi felt herself compromising.
“Ah, it was An ZiYi, Le ChenXi’s commoner lover.” On the inside, she was laughing on the floor. In the later stages, Han ge had become An ZiYi’s golden patron. Since this was her own husband, she definitely wouldn’t pass him off to anyone else.
Lately, Le family had been thinking of every possible method to create a partnership with Han ge. Then, she’ll completely cut off the possibility of that happening.
“She was jealous because you like Le ChenXi?” He structured it as a question but his eyes were saying ‘if you dare say yes, then I’ll promptly go finish him off.’
“Han ge, you’re overthinking. I grew up with Le ChenXi, I only think of him as a older brother. Our engagement was arranged by our families’ elders, since our families were so compatible.”
