The two stared at each other blankly, as if a single glance could last an eternity.
Wu Weixi felt a flush rise to her face as he stared at her intently. She bit her red lips and shyly looked away.
Xie Shuyao raised her eyebrows slightly, her slightly surprised gaze shifting back and forth between Wu Weixi and Feng Zining.
Could it be that Feng Zining and Wu Weixi are... having an affair?!
But Wu Weixi is almost old enough to be Feng Zining's mother, isn't she?!
Does the Feng family allow it?
A sweet, coquettish voice from Fourth Master Feng snapped Feng Zining out of his strange reverie.
Feng Zining couldn't help but glance at Wu Weixi again. When his gaze fell on her fair shoulders, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a surge of warmth welled up in his heart. He felt that this actress Wu was exactly to his liking.
If I could marry her...
The thought startled Feng Zining. He quickly looked away and apologized gently, "I'm sorry, Miss Wu, I was abrupt just now."
Wu Weixi gently shook her head and smiled understandingly: "It's okay."
Nan Yuanman opened her eyes wide, looked at Wu Weixi, then at Feng Zining, her nose twitching like a dog's nose.
Since this young lady appeared, the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air has become stronger, and it smells a little sweet, just like freshly made peach blossom cake, making people want to take a bite.
and……
Nan Yuanman scratched her head. Why did she feel that the atmosphere between her fourth brother and this young lady was a little strange?
Wu Weixi knew that the gap between her and Feng Zining was vast, and she wanted to restrain herself from going up to him and being annoying, but she couldn't help it and asked, feigning curiosity, "Is this little girl Feng Siye's daughter? She's so cute."
She thought that Feng Zining was already in her twenties, so it was normal for her to have children.
There's something unsettling about me; I feel like what she's set her sights on has already been tainted before she even had a chance to touch it...
“No.” Feng Zining’s voice was cold and hard, but then, as if realizing his tone was inappropriate, he softened it: “She is my sister.”
The bitterness in Wu Weixi's heart vanished instantly upon hearing his words, and she smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling: "So it's my little sister. I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Nanmanyuan politely waved her paw in greeting: "Hello, Auntie."
Upon hearing this address, Wu Weixi almost lost her composure.
She doesn't look old, does she? At least, she's old enough to be called an older sister.
The single word "auntie" clearly revealed the age gap between her and Feng Zining...
But she couldn't lose her temper with Nan Yuanman. She was the rumored pampered young lady of the Feng family. Not only could she not lose her temper, she also had to please her.
Wu Weixi took a deep breath and sweetly replied, "Hello, little friend."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wu Weixi didn't want to stay any longer. She was afraid that if she heard Nan Yuanman call her "Auntie" again, she would have a heart attack.
She found a seat and sat down.
After Feng Zining was caught peeking at Wu Weixi by Nan Yuanman for what seemed like the umpteenth time, the little dumpling couldn't hold back any longer and slapped him on the cheek.
A pale golden light shone into Feng Zining's cheek.
Feng Zining's chaotic and boiling mind seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cool water, instantly sobering him up.
He blinked slowly and saw his little princess sitting in his lap, her hands cupping his cheeks, her chubby face with an unusually serious expression: "Fourth brother, have you taken a fancy to that auntie from earlier?"
Feng Zining: "?"
"What auntie?"
Nan Yuanman pointed furtively at Wu Weixi, who was chatting with a wealthy woman and chuckling softly, and said, "That auntie, you've been peeking at her almost thirty times since she sat down!"
Feng Zining followed her gaze, and Wu Weixi, as if sensing something, looked up and met his eyes. She immediately lowered her head as if burned, a blush appearing on her face, looking incredibly shy.
Wu Weixi could sense that Feng Zining had been glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally.
She was secretly delighted. Could it be that the Goddess Peach Blossom had truly heard her prayers and was about to grant her wish?
Now is not the best time to express her feelings to Feng Zining, so Wu Weixi can only suppress her temper and wait patiently, while exuding her mature feminine charm in front of Feng Zining.
Feng Zining: "???"
Feng Zining: "!!!"
Feng Zining denied it with a look of horror: "No, I didn't, how could I possibly be interested in a woman who is more than ten years older than me!"
It's true that he doesn't have high requirements for his other half, but she should at least be his age, or at least no more than five years older. Wu Weixi is almost forty! How could he possibly be interested in her?
"Really?" Nan Yuanman tilted her head, looking at Feng Zining's expression as if he were about to swear an oath to the heavens, and reluctantly believed him.
The little dumpling patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, even if you have a crush on Auntie, I won't say anything. Just don't peek anymore, peeking is very impolite."
Feng Zining's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth: "...I didn't fancy her."
Meeting the little dumpling's clear, innocent eyes, Feng Zining closed his own eyes: "...Fine, I understand, I won't peek anymore."
Now, when Feng Zining recalls the pounding of his heart and the strange emotions that spread when he saw Wu Weixi, he feels uneasy and deeply bewildered.
How could he develop such deep feelings of love for a woman he doesn't even know?
This isn't right.
Something's definitely not right.
But when he thought about it carefully and investigated it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Feng Zining felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but hug Nan Yuanman a little tighter.
Nan Yuanman also felt that Feng Zining gave her a strange feeling just now, as if she was being controlled by something. But when she opened her Heavenly Eye, she saw that there was nothing around him, no ghosts, no resentment, and not even yin energy.
His appearance remained the same as before, except that his Peach Blossom Palace was a little red, and there was nothing unusual about the rest of his face.
Instead, the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air became incredibly strong.
She could smell the peach blossoms, but she didn't feel anything.
What exactly went wrong?
The little dumpling rested its chubby chin on one hand, frowning as it fell into deep thought.
When Xie Shuyao returned from her stroll, she saw the two thinkers, one big and one small. She twitched her fingers slightly, resisting the urge, but couldn't resist pinching Nan Yuanman's chubby cheeks. She asked with a smile, "The auction is about to start. Do you have any items to submit for auction?"
Auctions are an unavoidable part of charity galas. The items at auctions are usually donated by guests, and the main purpose is to exchange goods for money. The money raised from the auctions is then used for charitable causes.
After a quick look, Nan Yuanman's eyes lit up. She rummaged through her small handbag and pulled out two talismans, handing them to her: "Sister Shuyao, I want to send two protective talismans to the auction!"
Xie Shuyao knew the power of the Nanmanyuan Talisman, so she immediately accepted it and sent it backstage to be added to the auction items.
Soon, the auction for the charity gala began.
The host stepped forward to give an official speech, and the auction began quickly and easily.
Feng Zining casually patted a few small pieces of jewelry that Nan Yuanman could use. As he relaxed and leaned back in his chair, he suddenly smelled a rich peach blossom fragrance, and his vision blurred for a moment.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Wu Weixi.
The next second, to Nan Yuanman's astonishment, he placed her on the seat and got up to walk towards Wu Weixi.
Nan Yuanman, looking completely bewildered, extended Er Kang's hand: "???"
Fourth brother, don't you want me anymore??
