Chapter 148 Nian Beast

She went back inside.

Just as I was about to undress and go to bed, a faint sweet fragrance wafted across my nose.

Chen Shiyi woke up instantly, and his eyes scanned everything in the house sharply.

By the flickering candlelight in the house, there is no place to hide. If there is, it is...

The lake blue quilt was slowly pulled down, revealing a beautiful face. Her eyes were like a spring spring, with mist flowing around, and her red lips were half-bitten, seducing people skillfully.

The black hair fell on his half-exposed slender neck and shoulders. If it fell down, it would not be suitable for her to see...

"Boss, let Bo Yuan take you to bed!"

Bo Yuan's eyes were full of seduction, and he tried his best to seduce Chen Shiyi.

Suddenly, a figure appeared silently behind Chen Shiyi.

When Bo Yuan saw it, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He picked up his open clothes tremblingly and explained with a forced smile.

"Well, I said I slept in the wrong room, do you believe me?"

Bailing drank a little too much and felt dizzy. Suddenly, he felt an earthquake in the staircase, followed by a sharp scream.

She sat up suddenly.

"So there really is a Nian monster on New Year's Eve?"

She felt lucky again, fortunately she had a lucky man. She thought that the beast would be eliminated next year and she could sleep well.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuanxi brought Xin Fangyun to visit Chen Shiyi to wish him a happy new year.

Chen Shiyi held Yuanxi's hand.

"I was still thinking about you yesterday, and you came back today."

She stuffed the red envelope that she had prepared long ago into Yuanxi's hand.

"If you don't come back today, I'm going to send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow."

Yuan Xi smiled and said,

"Don't worry, sister. Fang Yun prepared everything we wanted yesterday."

Chen Shiyi looked back following Yuan Xi's gaze. Xin Fangyun, who was behind him, raised his eyes to glance at Chen Shiyi and smiled awkwardly.

"Sister..."

Chen Shiyi nodded slightly.

"Yuanxi is marrying you, so you must take good care of her and not let her suffer any injustice. You must know the limits of what to say and what not to say. Otherwise, you know my temper."

Yuan Xi felt that there was something else behind what his elder sister said, but it was probably because Fang Yun had been scolded by his elder sister that he spoke more harshly.

Xin Fangyun hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"Don't worry, sister. I will do my best to take care of Yuanxi."

Yuan Xi looked at it and said to Chen Shiyi.

"Sister, don't blame Fang Yun. He has been very nice to me these days. Besides, my mother-in-law has become more and more kind to me..."

"Well, that's good."

Yuan Xi raised the corner of his mouth and held Chen Shiyi's hand and put it on his belly.

"Sister, I am two months pregnant."

Chen Shiyi was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke to Bailing behind him.

"This is a great event. Come on, go get the set of pearl necklaces I prepared last time."

In the middle of the necklace is white silver inlaid with a red gemstone, and the silk ribbon hanging below is made of crystal clear beads. With a few red tassels, it looks particularly expensive and beautiful...

"Last time at a jewelry store in Kyoto, Bailing and I both fell in love with this one. It can be worn by both boys and girls. At the time, we thought that since you were getting married, it would be about time for you to get pregnant. Fortunately, we were ready in time."

Yuan Xi shook his head.

"Sister, this is too expensive."

"The precious things are yours too. You are the only one among us who has a child. Oh, but I think Xuwen's good things are coming too."

After the Lantern Festival, Chen Shiyi had almost finished all the matters concerning the opening of Qinyunlou, and then he took Bailing to Kyoto, selected some expensive gifts, and went to Wanyi's home to discuss their marriage with her parents.

On the way, Fu Da followed Chen Shiyi with the sword in his arms. Wherever Chen Shiyi went, he followed.

Sometimes Bailing wanted to whisper something to Chen Shiyi, but she didn't dare to say a word.

"Just treat me as something other than a human being."

Chen Shiyi had no choice but to remain silent. Once he opened his mouth, Fu Da sounded very serious and smiled.

"Xu Wen said Wan Yi lives in the western suburbs of Kyoto?"

"Baishan Lane in the western suburbs. My father's surname is Ou."

"I don't know what kind of family she is from, but I heard her parents are doing some small business."

Bai Ling sighed.

"I had a private conversation with Yuanxi at the time, asking her why she fell in love with Xin Fangyun, who was just a worker in the workshop of Lingyu Mountain Villa and whose family conditions were just okay. Yuanxi said that Xin Fangyun respected her very much, was kind to her in every way, and stood by her side regardless of right or wrong."

Bailing sighed and continued.

"Yuanxi is beautiful and gentle, so of course she deserves a better man, but the world is like this, women marrying down from their proper place, who would believe in love? Who knows, people might say that this woman has some problems, that she cheated on her husband, that she was out in the limelight doing business, anyway, there are even worse things to say. As for Yuanxi, every time I ask her, she says she's fine. How can it be fine? Even if the relationship between the two is very close, there will be quarrels. If it continues like this, it will either be a master-servant relationship, or Yuanxi will only report good news and not worries..."

Chen Shiyi lifted the car curtain and asked softly.

"What happens if you marry high?"

"Marrying up is much better. After all, the family of the man who marries up is very strict in educating their children. They are much more appropriate in doing things and treating others, and they will take on the responsibilities of a husband. Even if the relationship between the two is not very good, they will give him enough status and respect. But in such a family, there are many people who want to marry into it, and it is inevitable that women will intrigue and fight against each other. Sometimes they die without knowing how they died."

Chen Shiyi looked at Bai Ling who was talking so eloquently and couldn't help but frown.

"How do you, an unmarried girl, know so much?"

"I was working in the mansion before, and an old maid told me this."

"Shallow talk!"

Fu Da, who had been sitting at the other end dozing with a sword in his arms, opened his eyes.

"Didn't you say that I don't treat you as a human being? Why did you still eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Fu Da glared at Bailing with his sharp eyes.

"You women take marriage so seriously, which is superficial."

Chen Shiyi couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think?"

"In this life, people just want to live a comfortable life. It is really stupid to bet your life on a man who treats women as condiments."

"Forehead..."

"Men have great ambitions, they conquer the world, they travel the world, they fight for fame and fortune. These are their true aspirations. Feelings are just something women think they have when he is willing to look at you a few more times."

Chen Shiyi and Bailing looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

Bai Ling asked in confusion.

"But the world is like this. Look at Kyoto. How many jobs can women do? How many women can get books? Who can teach her how to use a sword? So, apart from marrying into a good family, what other options do women have?"

"I'm not willing to give up. Either I admit defeat or I fight to the death!"
