“Dongfang Yifei, what proof do you have that the Eastern Region and the South Sea Glazed Palace have a marriage contract? That was just something our mothers talked about in private. How can you take it seriously? I, Nangong Ziyan, have never received any tokens of love from your Eastern Region, nor do I have any written proof. How could I, Nangong Ziyan, have a marriage contract with you, and how could I have broken my promise to your Eastern Region?”
Nangong Ziyan retorted, knowing that Dongfang Yifei would bring this up.
"Yan'er, marriage is a major event, a matter of parental consent and matchmaker's words. Yan'er, this matter has existed for sixteen years, how could it be false? As for the token of love, do you still remember the jade pendant I gave you when my mother and I visited you last year? That was the token of our Eastern Region City Lord's wife."
"Jade pendant, you mean that piece of blood jade that glows red all over?" Nangong Ziyan asked after thinking for a moment.
"Exactly." Dongfang Yifei grinned. She accepted such a valuable gift, and it was too late to deny it now.
“Dongfang Shengying, you didn’t say it was the city lord’s wife’s keepsake. I didn’t really like that jade pendant, but you insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn’t refuse your kindness, so I accepted it. After you left, I put it around Mao Mao’s neck.”
Nangong Ziyan said hesitantly, how could she know that the jade pendant was so important!
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yifei's face turned green.
"On Mao Mao's body?" Nangong Jingqi shrugged.
"Haha! Yan'er, you've really gone all out! You even dared to put the City Lord's wife's token on Mao Mao." Nangong Jingqi couldn't hold back any longer. "But Yan'er, now that you're gone, where did you take Mao Mao?"
"Yan'er, this is ridiculous. Is Mao Mao in your spatial ring?" Nangong Ruichen said, suppressing a laugh.
Of everyone present, only Baili Yuechan and Beiming Haotian didn't know who Mao Mao was. They all looked at Nangong Ziyan with curiosity.
"Oh!" Nangong Ziyan nodded, and with a wave of her small, delicate hand, a chubby white puppy, only the size of two palms, appeared in front of everyone, wagging its little tail and nuzzling Nangong Ziyan.
Baili Yuechan took a few steps back in disgust. Apart from Nangong Ziyan, almost everyone else looked at her with disgust.
Nangong Ziyan knew that dogs were the least popular animals in this time and space, and that Mao Mao was one of the animals she had rescued from someone else.
"Yan'er, you...."
When Dongfang Yifei saw that the priceless Blood Ruyi was indeed on Mao Mao, he looked coldly at Nangong Ziyan. How could she be so ignorant?
Nangong Ziyan squatted down and removed the blood-stained jade from Mao Mao's neck. She then used her own clothes to wipe the blood-stained jade.
"Here you go! Here you go." Nangong Ziyan tilted her head up and returned the jade pendant to Dongfang Yifei.
Dongfang Yifei looked at Nangong Ziyan's upturned face. It had been almost a year since he had seen her. Now that he was closer, he saw that she was even more beautiful than she had been a few years ago. Her face had not yet fully blossomed. Right now, she was like a green fruit. How beautiful would she be when she ripened? Having seen so many beauties, how could he not know? At that time, her beauty would be that of a radiant and enchanting woman with a fairy-like appearance that could make every man lose his soul.
