Chapter 222 Rejecting the Dog Man’s Birthday Banquet

Yun Wansheng easily pushed him away this time: "Mu Xingci, I'm fine now. Don't come here again."

Mu Xingci stared at the woman in front of him with a slightly deep gaze: "Wan Sheng, I can feel that you have feelings for me, but I don't know why you have to leave me?"

"Mu Xingci, some things don't mean you can be together just because you have feelings for each other. There are many things between us that I can't let go of. So, don't waste your time on me." There was a hint of ruthlessness in Yun Wansheng's cold eyes.

"So, you still won't forgive me?"

"I've said before that this isn't a question of forgiveness or not, because the hurt I've suffered in the past is no longer something I can forgive and pretend never happened.

I admit that I have feelings for you, after all, we have lived in peace for a while, but this is not enough for me to let go of the past and choose to be with you." Yun Wansheng looked at the man opposite her calmly.

"It seems that the mistakes I made in the past are unforgivable?" A faint light flashed in Mu Xingci's dim eyes.

"That's fine if you think so. Anyway, it's best if we never meet again."

Mu Xingci pursed his lips slightly, then changed the subject: "Wan Sheng, my birthday party is in two days. Just treat us as friends and you should come and attend!" As he said that, he took out a red invitation from his arms and handed it to her.

Yun Wansheng's face turned pale when she heard this. The word "birthday party" reminded her of the humiliation and lack of dignity she had suffered that year.

Looking down at the invitation card right in front of her, she felt that the festive red was particularly dazzling, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.

Mu Xingci watched her expression change slightly, and the tears in her eyes flowed without warning, which made his expression change.

"Wan Sheng? What's wrong with you?" he asked worriedly, about to go forward and touch her.

"Don't come over here!" Yun Wansheng's tearful eyes shot towards him fiercely: "Regent, it's time for you to go. Don't let me see you again." The voice was extremely cold and cruel, something Mu Xingci had never heard before.

Mu Xingci looked at the woman who had suddenly become cold and ruthless with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He really didn't know why she suddenly reacted so strongly. Could it be that her hatred for him made her hate his own birthday party?

"Wan Sheng, I know you still hate me, but I invited you to my birthday party just to make you like those ladies in the upper class. You can definitely make a living in this capital, and you can even be a distinguished guest in my Regent's Palace. Let's see who dares to look down on you.

"Since you broke off the engagement today, I think the news of your unlucky fate will spread all over the capital tomorrow. I'm inviting you to my birthday party to frighten those people and stop them from bullying you."

After hearing what he said, Yun Wansheng chuckled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Regent. Your birthday party is not something that someone like me can attend. I'd rather not embarrass your Prince Regent's Mansion."

"Wan Sheng, how can you say that? If I disliked your status, why would I personally send you an invitation?" The woman's words sounded harsh to Mu Xingci.

"Regent, I need to rest. Please go back!" Yun Wansheng drove him away expressionlessly and stopped talking nonsense with him.

"You really aren't coming?"

“No!”

The two looked at each other, one with indifference and hatred, the other with frustration and anger.

"Yun Wansheng, do you hate me so much?" Mu Xingci's handsome face showed pain.

Today he finally realized how much the woman hated him, so much so that even at his own birthday party, her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Yes!" Yun Wansheng answered straightforwardly.

Mu Xingci looked at the woman and admitted it without hesitation, which made him heartbroken and a little angry: "Okay! You are right, I am a bastard, okay!" After saying this angrily, he turned around and left her room.

Yun Wansheng watched the man leave angrily with cold eyes, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "You are a bastard!"

Mu Xingci came to Shangguan Lan's yard with anger. Without even knocking, he kicked the door open, which scared Shangguan Lan who was reading inside.

"Regent?" Shangguan Lan looked at Mu Xingci, who was furious, and hurriedly stood up and stepped forward: "What's this, Regent?"

"Shangguan Lan, the day after tomorrow is my birthday banquet. You must bring your little sister with you that day. If she doesn't come, I will hold you accountable."

After Mu Xing said goodbye, he still wanted to see that woman at the birthday party.

"Why doesn't the Regent tell her himself?"

"I asked you to go and tell her. Go and tell her now that I am waiting for you here. If you don't hear what I want to hear, you can quit your job as General of Chariots and Cavalry." Mu Xingci threatened in a very rude manner.

Shangguan Lan understood from his words that the two of them were quarreling again, which made him frown: "Prince Regent, if my sister doesn't want to go, please don't force her."

"Shangguan Lan, I invited her here for her own good. If you use your fate of killing your husband to break off the engagement, her reputation in the capital will be ruined. Then everyone will be able to laugh at her.

If she were to accept the invitation and go to the Regent's Palace, I would lend her a helping hand and make sure others wouldn't underestimate her, or at least wouldn't bully her in person. I don't think you would want to see her being bullied, would you? "

Shangguan Lan thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "I will try it first. If she really doesn't want to, I won't force her."

"Yeah!" Mu Xingci responded unhappily. His words made it seem as if he, the brother, was the only one who cared about others, while he himself became the bad guy.

Shangguan Lan went to the yard next door. Mu Xingci thought about it and followed her. He wanted to hear what the woman was thinking.

Under the bright yet slightly dim candlelight, the fresh and elegant boudoir looks very warm.

Yun Wansheng poured a cup of tea for her eldest brother: "Brother, have some tea."

"Hmm!" Shangguan Lan picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

Yun Wansheng didn't drink, but just sat there and watched him.

"Little sister, did the Regent just invite you to attend his birthday party?" Shangguan Lan asked bluntly.

"Well! I rejected him." Yun Wansheng said lightly.

"Why?"

"No reason, I just don't want to go."

"Uh! Little sister, I'm not speaking for him, but there's actually no harm in you attending. Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's really bad for your reputation if we use the name of a husband-killing fate to cancel the engagement. If you go, the Regent will speak for you, and then others won't dare to bully you anymore."

"Brother, I would rather bear the fate of being unlucky for the rest of my life than go to his birthday party. In my opinion, his birthday party is my greatest humiliation and the scar of my life." Yun Wansheng's eyes became slightly moist as she thought about what happened back then.

Shangguan Lan heard this and saw Xiaomei's sad face. He couldn't help but ask softly with concern, "Xiaomei, did something happen between you that makes you so sad?"

Yun Wansheng couldn't help crying when she heard her only relative caring about her. Her body trembled slightly with tears. Shangguan Lan felt distressed when he saw this and hurriedly wiped her tears.

"Little sister, if you don't want to go, then we won't go."
