Chapter 559: Peaceful Times Waiting for Flowers to Bloom
When Xue Wuji heard Yun Chujiu’s words, he immediately laughed out loud. “Di Beiming, aren’t you being a bit too stingy?! You actually didn’t give anything to Little Sister Jiu! Little Sister Jiu, you can’t have such a man. If he doesn’t care about you now, wouldn’t it be even worse for you if you get married in the future?!”
Di Beiming looked at him indifferently and ignored him.
Xue Wuji saw that Di Beiming did not say anything and felt that Di Beiming was feeling guilty. Then, he said, “Di Beiming, you kept saying that you liked Little Jiu, but it turns out that you were just saying it. How hypocritical! Little Sister Jiu, you must keep your eyes open. You can’t have such a man!”
Yun Chujiu pouted and looked at Di Beiming, “Prince Charming, what kind of birthday present are you going to give me? Are you really not going to give me anything?”
“Little Sister Jiu, don’t bother with him. If he’s not going to give you anything, then so be it. Don’t you still have me? I’ll give you another gift. What do you like? Do you want something edible or something to use? As long as you want it, I’ll give it to you!” Xue Wuji was overjoyed—this was a great opportunity for him to show off. Di Beiming, this idiot, actually did not prepare a birthday present!
“Little Jiu!”A deep voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
Yun Chujiu was stunned and then ran outside the courtyard excitedly. “Grandfather! Why are you here? I miss you!”
Yun Xiaotian patted Yun Chujiu’s little head. “Silly child, today is your sixteenth birthday. Grandfather is here to give you a birthday present!”
“Sob sob! Grandfather, you being able to come is the best birthday present you can give me!” Yun Chujiu was so happy that she cried. To her, Yun Xiaotian was the elder she had been closest to for two lifetimes, and it was also the first time she had received familial affection from Yun Xiaotian. Therefore, when she saw Yun Xiaotian, she was extremely happy.
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted for a while before Yun Chujiu asked, “Grandfather, how did you come in? Doesn’t the Spirit Radiance Sect disallow outsiders to enter?”
Yun Xiaotian smiled and said, “It was Young Master Di who went to Master Xuanyuan and asked An Feng to escort me in.”
Yun Chujiu was stunned, and then she looked at Di Beiming gratefully. “Prince Charming, this is the best birthday present I’ve ever received!”
Di Beiming smiled faintly. “As long as you’re happy.”
Yun Chujiu felt a sweetness in her heart, and she suddenly felt that the whole world had become a better place. She happily held Yun Xiaotian’s arm and chatted with Yun Chusi and the others.
Xue Wuji thought sourly at the side, ‘Hmph, this expressionless Di Beiming really knows how to take advantage of the situation. He didn’t waste much effort and didn’t even spend a single Spirit Stone, yet he could beat my gift!! There’s still a long way to go. I don’t believe that I can’t beat you!’
Yun Chujiu’s birthday was exceptionally happy because of Yun Xiaotian’s presence. She was chattering like a little swallow as she shuttled through the crowd. The smile on her face was almost overflowing.
Di Beiming just sat quietly at the side. As he watched Yun Chujiu’s happy figure shuttling through the crowd, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He silently swore in his heart, ‘Little Jiu, I will make sure that you will always have such a carefree smile on your face. All the difficulties and dangers will be borne by me alone!’
While Yun Chujiu was busy, she accidentally turned her head and saw Di Beiming’s affectionate gaze. It was rare for her face to turn red. She moved closer to Di Beiming’s side and twisted the corner of her clothes, she whispered shyly, “My Prince Charming, wait for me to grow up. Time spent waiting will be peaceful and flowers will bloom!”
