Chapter 680: Token of Love
Jun's unexpected appearance greatly surprised Qi Yao.
The moment they met, Qi Yao already had the urge to flee.
However, upon seeing the little creature on Jun Wuduan's shoulder, the foot that had stepped out was abruptly pulled back.
"!!!"
Damn it! How did her natal Gu end up on this hypocrite?!
As if sensing her gaze, Jun Wuduan deliberately took the little jade toad off his shoulder and placed it in his palm.
Qi Yingzhang had obviously seen the little creature before, his eyes brightening slightly: "Mr. Jun, your pet is quite special, isn't it? When I first saw it, I thought it was a jade ornament, and I marveled at the sculptor's superb skills and masterful craftsmanship. I never expected it to be alive; it really gave me a fright."
Qi Yao's lips twitched slightly. She thought to herself, how could it not be special? That was my mother's natal Gu from her previous life. I spent more than ten years feeding it with poisonous insects and herbs. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was her own son!
Hearing Qi Yingzhang's sincere praise, Jun Wuduan lifted his eyelids and said with a faint smile, "A token of love given to my future partner should naturally be unique and special."
"puff……"
Ye Wanxi choked on her water before she could even swallow it.
Qi Yao's face turned white, then red, then pale, like a spilled palette of colors. Her eyes pierced Jun Wuduan with sharp, piercing gazes, as if she wanted to turn him into a hedgehog.
Qi Yingzhang was also hearing about this for the first time. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So this little jade toad is a token of love that Mr. Jun is preparing to give to his future partner. No wonder it is so unique. Such a rare and precious object, there may really be no other one like it in the world. It is truly one of a kind."
Ye Wanxi coughed for a while before she recovered. She grabbed Feng Tianyu's hand that was patting her back and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Are the two of them really in this kind of relationship? When did it start? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
But then she thought about it again, and realized that she was only a few days shy of eighteen when she died in her previous life!
Even if the senior brothers and sisters are a little lazy in their cultivation, they can still live to be a hundred years old, perhaps a hundred or two hundred years old.
It's perfectly normal for things to happen that you don't know about over the years.
Ye Wanxi had just mentally prepared herself when Feng Tianyu suddenly said, "We haven't caught up yet."
Ye Wanxi: "???"
Qi Yingzhang wasn't stupid either. After speaking, he thought for a moment and quickly figured something out: "The tokens of love have all been prepared. Does Mr. Jun already have someone he likes?"
"Um."
"Then I wish you, Mr. Jun, a speedy success in winning the heart of your beloved."
Ye Wanxi: "..." It's better not to say it so soon. You'll cry when you find out the truth later!
Qi Yao couldn't listen to it anymore. She had no doubt that if she let the two of them continue talking, her blood pressure would rise sooner or later and she would explode on the spot.
"Brother, it seems there are some customers looking for you over there. Your wife might not be able to handle it all by herself. Why don't you go and help her greet the other customers?"
Qi Yingzhang hesitated, and Ye Wanxi spoke up at the right moment: "Well, we can just stay here by ourselves. There's no need to make special arrangements for us. The groom should go and attend to the other guests."
Jun Wuduan chimed in, "President Qi, go ahead and get busy. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk later."
Qi Yingzhang breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Qi Yao, who was already seated: "Aren't you coming with me?"
Qi Yao certainly wanted to leave. She could see that the jade toad in someone's palm seemed to have its lifeline seized, and...
"No, I can introduce myself to people anytime. Today is your wedding, you are the main characters, and I, as your sister, don't want to steal your thunder."
The Qi family has always been very protective of Qi Yao, to the point that many people are unaware of her existence.
This unexpected revelation, occurring at Qi Yingzhang's wedding banquet, despite repeated explanations from the Qi family couple and Qi Yingzhang and his wife, still led some malicious individuals to speculate that Qi Yao was very likely an illegitimate daughter of the Qi family.
Of course, there were also some people like Feng Tianyu who had their own intelligence network and knew early on that the Qi family had a hidden daughter.
According to the information they received, the Qi family's daughter was clearly mentally challenged. Was the seemingly normal girl in front of them the same mentally challenged daughter, or was she a completely different person?
Regardless of the type, these are all fresh topics worth discussing.
Qi Yao realized this and that's why she didn't want to continue going with her parents to meet people. These small things could be done later, but her brother and sister-in-law's wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she didn't want to cause them any regrets or bad memories because of her overstepping her bounds.
Qi Yingzhang was touched by his sister's thoughtfulness and naturally wouldn't refuse her kindness.
"I'll go ahead then, you'll be here alone..."
Qi Yao waved her hand impatiently: "Go on, they're not going to eat me, are they?"
Jun Wuduan added with a faint smile, "Yeah, what are we going to do with her?"
He should have kept quiet, because once he opened his mouth, Qi Yao froze.
Qi Yingzhang didn't notice anything unusual about his sister. Thinking that Ye Wanxi and the other woman were keeping an eye on things, he figured he could relax and turned to look for his wife.
As soon as he left, their corner fell silent.
None of the four spoke, but Jun Wuduan's eyes remained fixed on Qi Yao, never leaving her.
Qi Yao was already feeling uneasy sitting next to him, and when he stared at her like that, she immediately lost her temper.
"Jun Wuduan, what do you mean?"
Jun Wuduan tilted his head, looking completely innocent: "What...what do you mean?"
"You dare to do it but not admit it! You've already forgotten what you just said! You bastard, how dare you use my natal Gu to curry favor with another woman? Who gave you the guts? Who gave you the right!"
Ye Wanxi: "..."
Feng Tianyu: "..."
Jun Wuduan: "..."
Ye Wanxi was the first to react, and whispered in Feng Tianyu's ear, "If it were me, I'd probably be furious."
He subtly confessed his feelings for a long time, but in the end, the other person didn't notice at all. It was like casting a flirtatious glance at a blind man.
Feng Tianyu smiled, remaining noncommittal.
Some people may not be slow-witted; they may simply be too embarrassed to admit it and deliberately put on a show to cover up their true feelings.
Jun Wuduan was indeed a little angry, but only a little.
His expression stiffened for a moment, then quickly softened, and he said with a helpless and hurt tone, "Is that really what you think?"
Feeling guilty under his gaze, Qi Yao looked away and said, "What else could I think?"
"If you give your natal Gu to someone else, can that person handle it?"
"So you knew? Then how dare you fool my brother like that?" Qi Yao snorted coldly and reached out to him directly: "Give me back the dough."
"I won't pay it back."
"You, Wuduan! Have you forgotten that I am the master of this dough?"
