Chapter 762 - 762 G.o.ddess of the Ghost Domain (3)
762 G.o.ddess of the Ghost Domain (3)
Yu Wan was pet.i.te and exquisite in front of Yan Jiuchao. Compared to other women, she was considered tall. However, this Miss Wei was not bad either. She was actually on par with Yu Wan.
The women of the Wei family were beautiful. Other than her mother and Shangguan Yan, Yu Wan had rarely seen a woman whose looks made her eyes light up. Obviously, Wei Ruyan was one.
Wei Ruyan was so beautiful that she was not arrogant. She was like a quiet orchid that could inadvertently bloom.
“Did Miss Wei specially wait for me here?” Yu Wan voiced her doubts.
!!
“Yes.” Wei Ruyan nodded. “Did I offend Mrs. Yan?”
“No.” Yu Wan smiled.
“I…” Wei Ruyan hesitated for a while before mustering her courage and saying,” I heard that Big Brother Ji is working under you.”
Yu Wan was enlightened. “Ah, that. Young Master only came up with this plan to investigate his sister’s whereabouts. I hope Miss Wei doesn’t take it to heart.”
“That’s not what I’m worried about.” Wei Ruyan shook her head.
This meant that she was indeed concerned. She was an honest girl. Yu Wan smiled and said, “Then what are you worried about, Miss Wei?”
“Big Brother Ji treats you…”
Wei Ruyan didn’t finish her sentence. Just because she didn’t say it didn’t mean that Yu Wan didn’t know how to guess.
Yu Wan was bluffing when she said that she did not notice Ji Xingchuan’s feelings for her. However, she had just noticed it not long ago. After entering the villa, she gradually felt that the way Ji Xingchuan looked at her was different.
However, this feeling was not the admiration that Wei Ruyan understood. She thought that she might have reminded Ji Xingchuan of his sister in some ways.
Yu Wan said, “I have a younger brother at home. I treat him the same way Miss Ji treats Ji Xingchuan.”
This might be where Ji Xingchuan fell in love with her. But this was not a relationship. Instead of saying that Ji Xingchuan was good to her, it was more like Ji Xingchuan was making up for his lack of respect for Miss Ji.
“Do you understand, Miss Wei?”
Wei Ruyan nodded gently. “I understand. However, I still have to annul my engagement with Big Brother Ji.”
“Why?” Yu Wan looked at her in confusion. “You don’t believe me??”
Miss Wei shook her head. “How can that be? I came to look for Mrs. Yan naturally because I believe that you will tell me the truth. Actually, I’ve asked him the same question, but he disdains to explain it to me.”
“This…” Yu Wan did not know how to reply. Ji Xingchuan indeed did not like to explain.
Miss Wei said, “If Madam asked him, wouldn’t he explain? Was he like this when he worked under Madam in the past?”
Yu Wan wanted to say yes, but she realized that she wasn’t. It was true that Ji Xingchuan was silent, but as long as she asked him, he would tell her.
“He’s not satisfied with this marriage. Back then, it was to avoid marriage with the Wei family that Eldest Miss Ji left her hometown. He didn’t say anything, but I’m afraid he hates the Wei family in his heart. Nanny told me that sincerity makes the stone open. As long as I can be a gentle and considerate wife in the future, as time pa.s.ses, Big Brother Ji will definitely see how good I am.”
At this point, Miss Wei paused. “But I don’t want to make myself suffer so much.”
Yu Wan suddenly thought of an old friend she had not thought of for a long time—Han Jingshu.
Han Jingshu’s situation was similar to Wei Ruyan’s. She had been engaged to a man who did not love her. Han Jingshu chose to use her sincerity to move Yan Huaijing, but Wei Ruyan did not want to sacrifice the happiness of the rest of her life.
Yu Wan couldn’t say who made the right choice. “This is your own life. You have the final say on how to choose. Even if the two clans can’t become a family, I think…”
Wei Ruyan shook her head. “I only said that I wanted to break off the engagement with Big Brother Ji. I didn’t say that I didn’t want to marry into the Feiyu Manor.”
“Huh?” Yu Wan felt that her brain could not keep up again. Was her intelligence so insufficient after pregnancy?
Wei Ruyan pointed at the courtyard in front of her and smiled. She lifted her skirt and walked in briskly. “Wan Feng, I’m here to see you!”
Wan Feng’s panicked cry came from the room. “Sister Wei, don’t come in! I, I, I… I was beaten up badly by my uncle! I’m too ashamed to see anyone!”
Wei Ruyan was one year older than Wan Feng. However, an older wife and young husband might also be another form of happiness.
Yu Wan handed the jade pendant to Wei Ruyan. “Help me return it to Wan Feng.”
This girl had tricked her! On the surface, she suspected her and Ji Xingchuan, in actuality, she was testing her relationship with Wan Feng.
Were the little girls nowadays so smart?
Ji Xingchuan, oh Ji Xingchuan, who told you to ignore her? See, in the blink of an eye, she became your niece-in-law…
The next day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
Yu Wan brought Asura and Asura set off with their bags.
Manor Master Ji chose twelve disciples with strong martial arts skills and prepared two carriages that could travel a thousand miles a day. One was for Yu Wan to ride, and the other was for storing all kinds of weapons and supplies. It was a long journey and the journey was rugged. No one knew if any accidents would happen. In short, it was better to be careful than sorry.
Manor Master Ji said, “The Feiyu Manor sent supplies to the Ghost Clan once. Someone here has been to the Ghost Clan before. He will lead the way for you.”
Yu Wan nodded. “Thank you, Manor Master Ji.”
Seeing the reluctance and worry in Manor Master Ji’s eyes, Yu Wan continued, “Don’t worry, Manor Master Ji. No matter what, I won’t let your son take the risk. His duty is only to lead the way for me. If I really encounter danger, I won’t drag him down.”
Manor Master Ji smiled and said, “Madam, you’re being too serious. How can a man let a woman take the risk alone when he’s outside? Although I’m worried about him because he’s my son, I hope he can be an indomitable man. He chose the path himself and has to bear all the risks himself. He can’t escape at the last minute and become a coward.”
Manor Master Ji was a very open-minded elder. He had high hopes for his children, but he would not tie their flying wings. He was willing to let them live safely, but he also respected any risky choices.
“Manor Master Ji, take care. See you again.” Yu Wan bowed.
Manor Master Ji cupped his hands and bowed back. “Madam, take care too.”
Asura stood beside the carriage, his blood-red eyes wide open, his tongue sticking out in boredom. After Yu Wan bade farewell to Manor Master Ji, she walked towards the carriage. Asura changed his sloppy appearance and stood up straight. He grinned, revealing his white teeth!
Yu Wan got into the carriage. He also quickly sat down.
A disciple brought a horse for Ji Xingchuan. Ji Xingchuan took one last look in the direction of the villa and got on the horse. “Let’s go!”
