Chapter 184
As soon as Shu Ningshuang finished speaking, everyone else echoed her words. "Helpless," Yun Wan had no choice but to send someone to Jibai Residence.
At this moment, Ji Bai was in the center, and Shen Rang was painting. Yun Xi was watching him with her chin propped up on her hand, occasionally grinding ink for him. The fragrance of ink flowed quietly, surrounding the two of them, creating a scene of serene beauty.
Shen Rang was born into a noble family. In addition to studying and practicing martial arts, he also excelled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Under his brush, a vigorous and vibrant landscape painting slowly unfolds before our eyes.
In the midst of this tranquility, an untimely sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.
Jixiang came up the stairs: "Auntie, the young mistress is hosting a banquet for guests today and would like to invite you to come over."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi was stunned: "You want me to come over?"
Yun Wan hosted a banquet for her friends, yet she wanted Yun Wan to attend; her true intentions were obvious.
Yunxi wasn't stupid, so naturally she didn't want to agree.
However, Yun Wan had already sent someone to call her, and even used the word "please." If she didn't go, Yun Wan would have a pretext to cause trouble in the future.
Yunxi then turned her eyes and looked at Shen Rang.
Her lips were slightly pursed, her brows were slightly furrowed, and the pleading look in her eyes was undisguised.
Meeting that gaze, Shen's heart melted, and she immediately put down her paintbrush, saying, "I'll go with you."
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Then I'll change my clothes."
She was wearing the clothes she had bought with Shen Rang during their last shopping trip. They were rather glamorous, and it was fine to wear them in front of Shen Rang, but if she wore them to a banquet, she would probably be accused of overshadowing him.
Shen Rang nodded slightly, watching her turn behind the screen, and after a while she came out wearing a simple blue dress.
However, this simple outfit still manages to catch the eye.
A true beauty should be like this, beautiful whether lightly or heavily made up.
After changing her clothes, she went with Shen Rang to the garden where the banquet was being held.
The more we walked, the more lively it became. Even before entering the park, we could hear bursts of laughter coming from inside.
"Wanwan, don't worry, when your concubine arrives, we sisters will definitely help you get revenge!"
"That's right, that's right, just you wait and see!"
"How dare they bully Wanwan! If we don't make her cry her way home later, then all the years of friendship we've built with Wanwan will have been for nothing!"
Listening to the chatter of the people inside, Yunxi's eyes revealed a hint of schadenfreude.
With Shen Rang around, their friendship of so many years is destined to go to waste.
Chen Rang paused, turning his head to look at Yun Xi: "Are you scared?"
Yunxi snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, looked up to meet his gaze, and smiled, saying, "With Zirong here, I'm not afraid."
A smile flickered in Shen Rang's eyes: "I will always be here."
As soon as he said that, Yunxi's ears turned red without her noticing.
Shen Rang's gaze fell on the slightly red ear tips, and his smile deepened: "Let's go."
"......Um."
The moment the two appeared, the once bustling garden fell completely silent.
