Feng Fuce sat down by the table: "Why is Qingmei’s attitude towards me different today?"
Bai Zhi’er thoughtfully poured a cup of hot tea for him.
"What’s different?"
Feng Fuce looked at the hot tea, momentarily stunned.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her beautiful eyes: "What’s wrong?"
Feng Fuce smiled: "It seems like you’re different towards me too."
"In the past, when I came, it was always Qingmei who poured the tea, you wouldn’t do this."
"Moreover, every time I came to see you, Qingmei’s gaze always carried a hint of wariness."
"As if I might take you away at any moment."
"But today, she looked at me and giggled, why?"
Bai Zhi’er’s dark eyes flashed a hint of secret amusement.
Why else?
Sister Qingmei knows her feelings now, that’s why she treats Feng Fuce so kindly!
But Bai Zhi’er wouldn’t tell Feng Fuce the truth.
She cleared her throat: "There’s no reason, Brother Chu Ping is about to marry Sister Qingmei, and you’re Brother Chu Ping’s superior, so Sister Qingmei must want to get on your good side." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Feng Fuce sipped the hot tea, thinking Bai Zhi’er’s reasoning made sense.
He took out something from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Take a look at this."
Bai Zhi’er walked over: "What is it?"
Just as she picked it up, Feng Fuce gently pulled her over, seating her on his lap.
He even managed the distance so that Bai Zhi’er was just sitting on his knee, close but not entirely touching. freёwebnovel.com
Bai Zhi’er holding the object, turned her head and blinked her watery eyes at him.
Feng Fuce smiled: "Didn’t I say, wait for the chill to dissipate before hugging you."
Bai Zhi’er huffed: "I also said, I didn’t intend to hug just now."
"I do." His cool tone, expressed with a deep and enchanting voice, struck directly at the depths of Bai Zhi’er’s heart.
Feng Fuce’s eyebrows bore an aloofness, yet those thin eyes, when they looked at her, always seemed like the depths of an abyss with ripples.
Impossible to ignore the amorous affection within.
Every time Bai Zhi’er was gazed at like this by him, her cheeks would burn intensely.
She withdrew her gaze, avoiding his eyes, but let out a couple of coquettish hums to mask her shyness.
Bai Zhi’er lowered her head to look at the item in her hand: "Eh? It’s a wooden figure?"
A palm-sized wooden figure, carved in the likeness of an immortal.
Yet Bai Zhi’er felt it looked somewhat familiar.
Feng Fuce said: "Mu Xi is dead, did you know?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Just heard from Sister Qingmei."
She turned over the wooden figure, seeing the words carved on the back.
Bai Zhi’er’s gaze turned cold: "Star Lord Yuan Qing?"
"Brother Fu Ce, where did you get this?"
Feng Fuce nodded: "Mu Xi was accidentally struck by lightning, and when the people from Rui’s Mansion cleaned out her residence, they found this among the relics, hidden under a pillow."
"Before, I had people inquire, and even your uncle Xu Lianzhou mentioned that Star Lord Yuan Qing is quite popular in Yan Country and Qin Kingdom because he can help people get rid of their rivals or enemies."
"Mu Xi kept this, surely aware of the rumors about this Star Lord, so she must have made a wish to him."
Bai Zhi’er’s mind became increasingly clear.
"So, Mu Xi was suddenly struck by lightning because her wish wasn’t fulfilled? Moreover..."
Bai Zhi’er didn’t finish the sentence.
But Feng Fuce continued: "Moreover, this Star Lord must have encountered a backlash while helping her fulfill her wish."
