Ning Beiyao caught up with Shang Xian and grabbed her arm. Shang Xian was startled and took several steps back towards Ye Nian.
Her reaction left everyone stunned.
Shang Xian had no idea what they were thinking. She was just startled by something she was thinking about. What was going on?
She pointed to Ning Beiyao, who was holding her fair, soft arm: "You're hurting me."
Ning Beiyao then came to his senses and stopped, looking at the abrupt red mark on her snow-white skin, and gently rubbed her skin a few times with his thumb.
"Ignore them, let's go inside." Ye Nian grabbed Shang Xian and ran off. Ning Beiyao watched their retreating figures, his gaze deepening.
"Sigh," Tang Dongyu walked to Ning Beiyao's side, put his arm around his shoulder and sighed. Ning Beiyao turned his head to look at Tang Dongyu.
"See? My wife has another woman and doesn't want me anymore. I'm so tired of this. So, I guess I'll just make do with you?" Tang Dongyu said, and then he laughed out loud.
Ning Beiyao smiled and shook his head, then patted him on the shoulder: "Sure, you've already been abandoned anyway."
Chu Xichen snapped his fingers in front of them and pointed ahead: "Let's go!"
As soon as Shang Xian and Ye Nian entered the hall, everyone's attention was drawn to them. Shang Xian looked around at the people around her, and unfortunately, she saw an eyesore—Ji Shifei.
Shang Xian still remembered his face; he looked refined and gentle, but he did absolutely nothing right.
Shang Xian pretended not to see it. After the two of them found a place to sit down, Shang Xian always felt that someone was watching her with malice.
Her smiling face suddenly turned cold, and Ye Nian noticed the change and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shang Xian sneered, "My father doesn't seem to be very friendly towards me."
Ye Nian looked at the refined-looking man at three o'clock; he was indeed looking in their direction.
"I heard from Dongyu that you and Young Master Ji are planning to bring down the Ji family?" Ye Nian whispered in her ear.
"He's about to kill me, so why doesn't he bring down the Ji family?"
Ye Nian frowned and grasped Shang Xian's hand: "This is too scary! You have to be careful!"
Shang Xian patted the back of her hand: "Him? He can't do anything to me."
"It seems you already have a plan." Ji Yi looked like the shrewd type of person; Ye Nian knew that the moment she saw her.
"Ye Nian!" Lin Nuoer ran up to her in her high heels. "Quickly help me prepare some things, there's no time!"
She was indeed amazed by Shang Xian's face when she saw her.
Ye Nian asked, "Would you like to come along?"
Shang Xian smiled and nodded.
The three of them went upstairs, and when they saw the favor Lin Nuoer had asked them to do, they were completely bewildered...
The room was filled with congratulatory gifts, but Chu Xichen's younger cousin spilled ink from the table, splattering it all over the floor. The worst part was that the younger cousin was covered in ink and looked filthy.
"Let's use a cloth to wipe this; paper won't get it clean."
Shang Xian looked at his little cousin, who was standing there dumbfounded, and felt a headache coming on.
Pointing to his little cousin, he said, "Why don't we take him outside to wash up first? Otherwise, his shoes will be covered in filth."
"Ye Nian, take him out first. Ji Yi and I will go find Bu Lai to deal with this," Lin Nuoer assigned the task.
Ye Nian glanced at Shang Xian, and only nodded in agreement when she saw that Shang Xian had no objections.
"Come with me," Ye Nian said, leading her little cousin out the door. Shang Xian and Lin Nuo'er also started looking for cloths to wipe things down. Since this was where valuables were kept, they couldn't let others handle it, otherwise, it would be a big problem if things got lost.
