Ji Xianli on the other end of the phone frowned, cursing the idiot in his heart for not being able to handle such a small matter!
But Yan Yixuan, like her cousin, is love-struck. You can't scold her; you can only coax her: "You're her sister. If you care about her more, she won't hold it against you for what happened before."
Why should I?! Yan Yixuan really wanted to yell that out.
But Yan Yixuan didn't dare. She was afraid that Ji Xianli would be angry and not marry her. But she was still somewhat unwilling: "Brother Xianli, have you not forgotten her yet?"
"Honey, why would you think that?"
Ji Xianli's tone was incredulous, then he sighed, "I promised Grandma I would marry you, don't you believe me?"
“But marrying me doesn’t stop you from having other women in your heart.” Yan Yixuan knew that a man could love several women at the same time, but she didn’t want Yan Yirou to be one of them.
Ji Xianli on the other end of the phone had lost all patience and said in a harsh voice, "It seems there are still many problems between us, so perhaps..."
Upon hearing the word "not as good as," Yan Yixuan immediately panicked and interrupted him, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Xianli, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I love you too much and I don't want to lose you."
"I'll come to the capital to see you tomorrow. I still have some things to take care of right now. As for the other things, you don't have to do them if you don't want to."
Ji Xianli's tone was filled with disappointment. Although he did not demand that Yan Yixuan do it, Yan Yixuan was more inclined to do what he asked her to do.
"Brother Xianli, I'll go find my sister later and talk to her properly."
Yan Yixuan hung up the phone and turned to walk towards her uncle's villa.
Meanwhile, Yan Yirou took a refreshing shower, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door while making a phone call to Shangguan Wu.
"Wu Bao, what are you doing?"
Hearing her joyful voice, Shangguan Wu curled her lips into a smile: "Is good news on the horizon?"
"Uh, what good news is coming soon?"
Yan Yirou didn't react for a moment.
Shangguan Wu said jokingly, "You seem so happy, I thought good things were about to happen!"
Yan Yirou immediately denied it three times: "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
At first, Shangguan Wu was joking, but hearing her strong reaction to the denial, she felt there was something wrong and deliberately tricked her by saying, "Then my mother-in-law said that the person who is going to hold a wedding banquet in the family, is it my second brother?"
Yan Yirou's voice instantly rose eight octaves: "What? Wasn't he in a hurry? He actually talked to your mother-in-law about the marriage so quickly?"
After being asked three questions in one breath, Yan Yirou directly revealed her secret!
"Third Brother proposed to you?" Shangguan Wu was astonished.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhen, who was also in the study, looked up at her.
Yan Yirou then realized that she had been tricked.
Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken when Yan Yirou saw Yan Yixuan walking over. She immediately made an excuse: "My cousin is here, I'll hang up now."
Yan Yixuan asked curiously, "Who is your sister talking to on the phone?"
"Is there something you need?" Yan Yirou asked her in return.
Yan Yixuan frowned, forcing a smile as she said, "Sister, we're family, you don't need to be so wary of me, do you?"
Yan Yirou looked at her calmly: "If you don't want people to be on guard, don't scheme against them."
"I don't……"
Under Yan Yirou's gaze, Yan Yixuan's voice gradually faded away.
The bodyguard drove up and stopped the car in front of her. As Yan Yirou got in, he reminded her, "Take care of yourself."
Yan Yixuan watched the car drive away, her eyes filled with anger!
Yan Yirou doesn't like Xianli Ge. Her being with Xianli Ge is considered to have helped Yan Yirou. She has also apologized for her previous slander. Does she have to keep dwelling on this point forever?
Yan Yixuan grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling that Yan Yirou was being incredibly ungrateful!
But thinking that Brother Xianli would be coming to the capital tomorrow, and that she knew nothing about traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies, Yan Yixuan called two bodyguards and ordered, "Go to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy where Miss works immediately, write down everything you see, and come back and tell me!"
"Yes, Second Miss."
The two bodyguards spoke in unison.
Yan Yixuan watched them drive away and sneered. She wondered if Shangguan Wu was out of her mind. Since she had the ability to marry Gu Sishao, she should have lived her life as a wealthy wife. Why did she have to show her face in public and open a Chinese medicine shop?
This is hilarious! Who still sees traditional Chinese medicine practitioners these days? Shangguan Wu is just trying to attract attention!
Her cousin's fawning over Shangguan Wu must mean she still has feelings for Gu Sishao, right?
However, her cousin is shameless enough to date Gu Sanshao. If she really marries into the Gu family, the Gu family will probably be a battlefield every day.
Thinking this, Yan Yixuan suddenly stopped being angry.
Yan Yixuan was even happy. She was just waiting for her cousin and Shangguan Wu to make a fool of themselves. It would be best if they made such a scene that everyone in the imperial circle looked down on them. She would definitely throw a party to celebrate!
On the other side, Shangguan Wu looked at the man in the study with a smile: "Rou Rou didn't refute it just now, so Third Brother really proposed to her!"
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Are you happy?"
Shangguan Wu replied without hesitation, "Of course, Rou Rou and I will be sisters-in-law from now on, and Mom will definitely be even happier when she hears this news!"
"Okay, you can wait patiently." Gu Yunzhen looked away and continued reading the project proposal.
"Wait patiently?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Shangguan Wu's eyes: "Why?"
Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "Third Brother has returned to the army; he was urgently recalled."
Emergency recall...
Shangguan Wu asked anxiously, "Has something happened? Could it be because of Fu Lin's arrest?"
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Why would you think that?"
