Chapter 499 You two are a perfect match

"Isn't that enough? We're both women, both women, but in their eyes, I'm just an ugly duckling who can't become a swan. No matter how hard I try, it's all a joke to them. Why do I have to suffer all this? Why do I give so much but no one pays any attention to me, while you only need to smile and say a few words and countless people flock to you?"

Sometimes people are afraid of comparison, because comparison creates a sense of superiority and inferiority, which can cause psychological imbalance.

After listening to Cui Yuezhen's confession, Shi Yuyan frowned and moved closer to her older brother, looking lingering fear as she said, "No wonder the ancients always said that women and petty men are the hardest to deal with. A woman's jealousy is truly terrifying."

Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Don't generalize. Men can be just as jealous as women."

"Really?" Shi Yuyan had just finished asking when he saw his older brother winking at him.

Shi Yuyan frowned and looked in the direction he was pointing, only to meet Feng Tianyu's sharp, icy gaze.

"Oh!"

"???" Damn, when did he offend this big shot again?

Shi Lang's lips twitched slightly. My silly little brother! Who told you to come in and start muttering like an idiot, saying you wanted to sleep on the floor in Miss Ye's room tonight? Do you think you can just make do like that?

If that old hag hadn't appeared just in time with the noodles, you probably would have been torn to pieces by someone, just like the poisonous insects in that room!

Having received an answer that was somewhat unexpected, Guan Xuefen's complex feelings of anger and sympathy towards Cui Yuezhen completely dissipated.

The young Taoist priest and his companions handled the Cui family's affairs. Guan Xuefen, as the victim, was only questioned a few times about the cause and effect before being quickly sent out.

After leaving the house, Guan Xuefen couldn't help but ask, "How are she and her brother doing?"

“This was mainly done by their parents. Her younger brother is too young and most likely didn’t know about it or get involved. He only mentioned it briefly when we came in, after his parents mentioned it by chance.”

"But your classmate is different. She's a real accomplice in this whole affair. Even though it was an attempted crime, since she's involved, we can't just let it go like this. Her parents are easy to deal with; once they're dead, it's all over. But as for her, she probably won't be able to stay outside any longer."

Guan Xuefen was slightly taken aback. They couldn't stay outside any longer. Did this mean that Cui Yuezhen had to be locked up?

Surprised as she was, she wasn't a saint. Cui Yuezhen's fate was entirely her own doing, and perfectly reasonable.

Guan Xuefen sighed for a moment and then stopped paying attention to the family's affairs.

"Spend the night in a nearby town, and they'll drive you there later. Call your family too and tell them to come pick you up if they're free. You've had a terrified night, so get a good night's sleep. Everything will be alright when you wake up tomorrow."

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Guan Xuefen nodded hastily, then seemed to realize something and froze on the spot: "You...you're not coming with me?"

"No, we have other things to do."

Guan Xuefen felt like she had been struck by lightning. What could be more heartbreaking than thinking you could spend the night with your idol, only to find yourself alone in an empty room, your sincere feelings ultimately misplaced?

Guan Xuefen's shocked and dazed expression was so obvious that Ye Wanxi asked worriedly, "Are you... alright on your own?"

"Can."

Guan Xuefen's smile was more painful than her tears, resembling a pitiful child who was reluctantly saying goodbye to her parents who were about to leave.

Xiao Yezi has important things to do, and I've already troubled her enough tonight, so I can't add to her troubles.

Being able to meet her today, have close contact with her, and be protected by her is already incredibly wonderful. If word gets out, this would definitely be a model of fandom, enough to make millions of Chlorophyll fans envious and jealous. She can no longer be so immature as to ask for more.

Guan Xuefen tried to mentally prepare herself, but her inner voice couldn't hold back any longer, and she burst into tears. She still wanted to spend more time with Xiao Yezi, even just a little while... Waaah...

Ye Wanxi was amused by her expression, thought for a moment, and took out a small wooden sign from her pocket.

"Since we've met so often, I'll give you a gift."

"A gift?" Guan Xuefen immediately perked up, staring at the small wooden plaque that Ye Wanxi handed over.

The wooden plaque, about the size of half a tofu slice, can be completely wrapped in the palm of your hand. You can't tell what material it is made of; it's coated with a layer of tung oil, and it feels smooth to the touch without being prickly.

Guan Xuefen turned the wooden sign over and saw several large characters written on it: "May all your wishes come true".

Beneath the characters is a small, pale pink peony flower, which is both beautiful and unique.

Guan Xuefen immediately took a liking to the wooden sign and said happily, "Thank you, I really like it."

Then, somewhat embarrassed, she said, "I didn't prepare a gift for you."

Ye Wanxi chuckled: "Aren't you my fan? Your support is the best gift."

"Yes, yes, I'll be your fan for life, the die-hard kind!"

"Go ahead and get some rest."

"Mmm!" Holding the wooden plaque given to her by Ye Wanxi, Guan Xuefen was finally no longer as disappointed as before.

Before leaving, she glanced at Feng Tianyu and the others who were silently waiting for Ye Wanxi not far away. She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist and turned back.

"Little Leaf, can I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem?"

Guan Xuefen secretly pointed at Feng Tianyu and asked in a low voice, "Is that your boyfriend over there?"

Ye Wanxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

Guan Xuefen could tell from her appearance that Ye Wanxi really liked her boyfriend. She also thought about Feng Tianyu's behavior in that house not long ago.

Just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, she nodded in satisfaction.

Their daughter, Xiao Yezi, is beautiful, has a good personality, and can tell fortunes, catch ghosts, and save people. She deserves a handsome, rich, and reliable man who can help in times of danger.

Otherwise, if something really happens, does he expect Xiao Yezi to save him instead? No way.

Guan Xuefen thought about it more and more and felt that this made sense, and her gaze toward Feng Tianyu became more and more satisfied: "Congratulations to you two, you are a perfect match."

"Thanks."

With her concerns about doting on her child dispelled, Guan Xuefen left satisfied.

As soon as the little fan left, Feng Tianyu walked over to Ye Wanxi and asked, "What are you saying that made you so happy?"

"She just asked me, 'Are you my boyfriend?'"

Feng Tianyu raised an eyebrow: "What do you say?"

"What else could I say? Of course I said yes. And then she said..."

"What?"

"They congratulated us and said we're a perfect match." Ye Wanxi said, turning to look at Feng Tianyu with a smile. "Congratulations, Senior Brother. Your boyfriend has already won the approval of my die-hard fan."
