1883 The Price (2)
“Yun Feng?” Hongni was stunned. Her companion was enlightened after hearing that. “Is your Young Master’s sweetheart Yun Feng?”
The girls of the Naxi family nodded. “Of course. Young Master has never taken any woman seriously, except Yun Feng.”
Hongni bit her lips and felt a bit of pain in her heart. Such a good man was already taken…
“What kind of person is Yun Feng? Most of us have only heard of her. We’ve never seen her in person! Have you seen her?”
The few girls of the Naxi family all nodded. “Of course. Yun Feng is in the clan right now, but she hasn’t shown up for a long time. Does she need to be described? We don’t have to tell you what the outside world says about her anymore, do we?”
Hongni bit her lips hard and said in a low voice, “The rumors outside are more or less a bit distorted. She’s about the same age as us. How can she have such a powerful achievement… The world has more or less exaggerated it.”
“We don’t know if she’s exaggerating, but Yun Feng is a good person. She has a strong sense of justice. Even though she’s not very beautiful, she has the ability to attract people’s attention.”
“That’s right. At first, I didn’t think Yun Feng was very strong, but her words and actions were very decent. I was even lucky enough to talk to her a few times. She didn’t look superior at all. She was very humble.”
“She and Young Master are quite compatible. When Young Master is with her, his expression is different.”
The few girls of the Naxi family discussed a bit without caring about Hongni. Listening to the descriptions of the relationship between Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi, Hongni took a step aside uncomfortably. Seeing her bad expression, her companion quickly comforted her. “They’re from the Naxi family, so they certainly side with their Young Master. No matter how bad the woman their Young Master likes is, they can’t say it on the surface. Besides, we haven’t seen Yun Feng with our own eyes. What they said might not be trustworthy.”
“That’s right, Hongni. Even if Yun Feng is really strong and you can’t beat her in terms of strength, she can’t compare to you in terms of appearance. Besides, you’re both summoners. You’re not much worse than her. Men don’t necessarily like strong women. They have to be like women!”
What her companions said made the fire in Hongni’s heart that had been extinguished burn again. She secretly turned around and looked at the expressionless and cold man standing behind her. Her heart was burning. How great would it be if she could be liked by such a man? If she could be doted on by him, she would definitely be the happiest woman in the world.
Everyone wanted good stuff. Women would certainly admire good men. Unfortunately, Qu Lanyi only had one woman in his heart. Other women wouldn’t be able to squeeze in even if they tried their best.
Xuan Yi saw Hongni’s foolish gaze with his black eyes. He lowered his black eyes slightly and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. “Misheng, you must be tired after walking for so long. Young Master Naxi, no matter how much you don’t like the two of us, you must treat us well after so many days. It won’t be rude.”
Qu Lanyi put on a cold smile. “Of course, but we usually send the guests off after the reception.”
Xuan Yi chuckled. “How humorous. If you really had to see me out, I wouldn’t be able to bear it. After all, I haven’t seen Young Lady Yun yet and I’m unwilling.”
Qu Lanyi’s face darkened. Buyuan Misheng scratched his head impatiently. “What’s there to see? I’ve wanted to leave for a long time!”
Qu Lanyi and Xuan Yi’s gazes collided in the air again. Some sparks rose. Qu Lanyi curled his lips. “I’ll certainly treat you well tonight.”
Xuan Yi nodded and slowly looked away. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his finger. “Of course, you have to treat us well.”
At night, Qu Lanyi arranged a very grand banquet for the young people of the Xuan family and Buyuan. The few elders of the Naxi family were also there. Seeing that these young people were getting along well, they were relieved from the bottom of their hearts. It was very beneficial for young people to communicate more.
In the lively banquet, many young people were talking loudly and happily. When they talked about happy things, they all drank wine. The women were no exception. Some girls drank until their skin was red, adding a hint of charm.
Buyuan Misheng was quite a practical person. He ate meat and drank wine in big mouthfuls, which was quite satisfying. In comparison, Xuan Yi and Qu Lanyi were like well-bred ladies. The two of them basically didn’t touch their chopsticks or the wine in their glasses at all. The two of them were a bit like outsiders in the lively banquet.
Qu Lanyi’s black eyes were deep. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to put on airs, he would have already attacked right now. This kid had teased his woman in front of him more than once. This kid had planned for Xiao Feng for a long time, not just a day or two.
“Don’t waste your time,” said Qu Lanyi straightforwardly. “She’s my woman. No matter what you do, you can’t take her away. Once Xiao Fengfeng has decided on someone, she won’t change easily. Don’t underestimate her.”
Xuan Yi chuckled and turned his head slightly. He didn’t drink, but he seemed to be a bit drunk. “Decided? Naxi Lanyi, your pestering succeeded, and why can’t mine? Don’t be too confident. Even if some things have already been decided, there’s still a possibility of changing.”
Qu Lanyi sneered. “If you can succeed, you don’t have to provoke me here on purpose.”
A glint of light suddenly flashed through the glasses on the bridge of Xuan Yi’s nose. He chuckled and said, “Who’s the final winner? Just wait and see.” He raised the cup on the table and drank it in one gulp. Qu Lanyi frowned slightly and wondered if he should attack directly and severely injure him…
“Naxi Lanyi.” A slender voice came. Qu Lanyi frowned and glanced over. He saw a woman with red cheeks and shy eyes walking over. She was holding a glass of wine in her hand with a shy look. There were ripples in her almond eyes. The woman who walked over had a very beautiful face that any man would look at.
Qu Lanyi only glanced at her. “Who are you?”
Xuan Yi chuckled and looked at Hongni with interest in his black eyes. “Hongni, who has always been proud, has such a shy side. It’s truly an eye-opener.”
