Free Web NovelChapter 113: Chapter 122 Who Said This is a Face-Oriented Era_1
What kind of age is this, where everyone judges by their faces?
Are they implying that Ye Zi is not as pretty as Ye Ning?
In contrast to her cheerful surroundings, the atmospheric pressure around Ye Zi seemed to be growing heavier by the moment.
The others, seeing Ye Ning here, were overwhelmed with jealousy. They watched the aloof mistress of the Gu Family, never once taking their eyes off of Ye Ning. Their gaze was filled with nothing but envy. Ye Ning, to her credit, showed no discomfort in this circle of aristocrats and behaved in a refined manner. Any other woman, faced with such a setting for the first time, would be quaking in her boots. Yet Ye Ning managed to maintain an air of grace, radiating nothing but confidence.
Her attire, though not extravagant, seemed to stand out much more when she wore it.
Mu Yeli, standing by her side, found himself swelling with pride as well. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Walking here, with Ye Ning by his side, he felt his honor intact.
Indeed, she is the woman that he, Mu Yeli, has chosen. She’s not frightened in the slightest.
However, Ye Zi was still desolately looking at him from the side. Ye Ning didn’t give her any face and daringly said to Ye Zi, "Sis, it’s one thing to stare like this elsewhere, but doing so here might give others the impression of a polygamous relationship. Even if you harbor feelings for someone else’s husband, can you save it for a different occasion?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Ye Zi’s face changed. Was Ye Ning daring to speak to her like this...?
However, Mu Yeli, hearing this, also felt something was off.
Ye Ning was right. Ye Zi gazing at him like this really made him the butt of the joke. He could understand her insecurities, her need revolving around him, but it was not fitting for the grand scheme of things here.
Ye Zi wanted to argue, but Ye Ning’s blunt words left her with no rebuttal.
After failing to come up with a response for a while, all she could do was meekly say, "I... I didn’t mean to."
Mu Yeli gave her a deep look, "You should go grab something to eat first."
With that, he wrapped an arm around Ye Ning’s waist and moved elsewhere.
Ye Zi was furious as she watched the two of them become the center of attention at the banquet. Wherever they went, they drew the crowd’s gaze, upstaging the attention she had just got. She cursed in her heart.
Admittedly, she did consider her earlier behavior to be inappropriate. But Mu Yeli usually treated her with unlimited tolerance. Perhaps it was because of the different occasion today. After all, this place was vast and filled with nobles, so his considerations ran deeper.
Next time, she would have to be more careful not to upset Mu Yeli.
