Chapter 37 Ye Moyan’s Doubts

————–

Mu Jinchen returned to his bedroom. After washing up, he sat on the small sofa in his room, thinking about today’s events, and couldn’t help but smile with relief.

He was wiping his wet hair with a towel while reaching for his phone, which was on the side, and sent a message to his group of close friends.

Mu Jinchen: [My sister has been found!]

Mu Jinchen’s message was instantly met with a flurry of questions from his friends.

Ji Hanghan: [Really really? Our sister has really been found?]

An Yingrui: [That’s great, this is a joyous occasion. When are you going to hold a welcome banquet for our little princess? I’ll definitely attend!]

Mu Jinchen looked at his friends’ messages and couldn’t help but reply: [My sister just came home today, the specific time for the banquet hasn’t been decided yet. I’ll let you know when it’s confirmed. Those of you who can come, make sure to come!]

From the time Mu Jinchen first sent the message, Ye Moyan, who had just finished training and returned to his dormitory, received the message. When he saw what his friend said, he couldn’t help but think back to the bright and sunny girl with light in her eyes that he had seen on Mu Jinchen’s phone last time.

This made him feel a strange sense of unease. He couldn’t help but reply under Mu Jinchen’s message:

Ye Moyan: [Okay!]

The sudden appearance of Ye Moyan’s avatar immediately stunned the others in the group.

Ji Hanghan: [Did I see wrong? I saw wrong, right? This person who has been lurking all the time, actually popped up in the group today!]

An Yingrui: [Rare guest! Moyan, did you take the wrong medicine today, or did you accidentally press the wrong key on your phone? You’re not actually holding your phone, right?]

You know, among their group of four close friends, Ye Moyan wouldn’t send a message even once a year. Sometimes, even if they sent him a message individually, he wouldn’t bother to reply. They had to call him directly.

Today, he actually replied so quickly, defying all odds. The others in the group felt a bit incredible.

Then, as if An Yingrui had thought of something, he suddenly said in the group:

[That… Jingchen, I seem to remember, Moyan and your sister have an engagement, right?]

Ji Hanghan: [Yes, how could I forget? Moyan is engaged to the Mu family’s little princess. This is something everyone knows!]

The people in the group were not only close friends, but they were also the younger generation of the four major families in Beijing. The marriage between Ye Moyan and the Mu family’s little princess was known throughout the entire wealthy circle.

The four major families in Beijing weren’t like what outsiders thought, with conflicts and struggles between families. On the contrary, the four families were very united and friendly.

Even the younger generation of the four major families were very friendly. Just like in Mu Jinchen’s group of close friends, they were all around the same age and had a friendship that had lasted since childhood, so their relationship was even better than what outsiders saw.

On this side, Mu Jinchen saw what his two friends said. His face, which was still a little cheerful, became gloomy at this moment.

His sister had just returned home, what engagement? He didn’t want his sister to get engaged or married so early!

So Mu Jinchen thought for a moment and said in the group:

[Moyan, didn’t you just finish your vacation? If you’re busy on the day of my sister’s welcome banquet, you don’t have to come!]

At this moment, Mu Jinchen just didn’t want his sister to see Ye Moyan. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to say that Ye Moyan’s appearance was indeed enchanting. At this moment, Mu Jinchen was afraid that his innocent sister wouldn’t be able to resist Ye Moyan’s good looks.

Ye Moyan: [It’s fine, I’m not busy these days.]

Mu Jinchen looked at Ye Moyan’s reply and couldn’t help but gnash his teeth. Now he was regretting letting Ye Moyan see his sister’s photo that day.

He must have seen Wanwan’s beauty and that’s why he wanted to attend Wanwan’s banquet. Otherwise, Ye Moyan, who always disliked attending banquets, wouldn’t suddenly agree to attend Wanwan’s banquet!

On this side, Ye Moyan, who was already lying in bed, couldn’t help but be lost in thought. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. He usually felt a bit disgusted towards women, but after seeing Mu Xiwan’s photo that day, he had unconsciously imagined her appearance many times.

Could it be because she was his fiancée? Ye Moyan felt that he had found the most reasonable explanation for his own abnormal behavior.

He thought it was highly likely because Mu Xiwan was engaged to him, so he, who had always been indifferent to women, was acting like this towards a girl for the first time!

So Ye Moyan tried hard to block out the confident and radiant figure in his mind. He forced himself to fall asleep, turned his phone to silent mode, and ignored the messages coming from the group chat.

———

On this side, Chu Yunxi returned to her bedroom, and the anger in her heart finally couldn’t be contained. She picked up her beloved plush toy and slammed it down hard.

She didn’t dare to smash anything that made noise, after all, she always acted well-behaved and sensible in front of the Mu family.

But if she didn’t vent, she felt like she would get sick. Huh, Old Master Mu just said he would give Mu Xiwan shares. Why? She had been hoping for this for a long time, even Grandma Mu, who loved her the most, had never said she would give her shares. Why did Mu Xiwan get shares in the Mu family as soon as she came back?

Chu Yunxi felt very wronged and resentful. She forced herself to calm down.

No, she couldn’t let Mu Xiwan get away with this. She had to find a way to make Mu Xiwan leave the Mu family, otherwise, she was worried that the marriage between the Mu family and the Ye family would really be taken away by Mu Xiwan.

She could accept Mu Xiwan living in the Mu family, but this marriage, she would not allow Mu Xiwan to have it, after all, she had liked that man from the moment she saw Ye Moyan!

Thinking about this, a vicious look flashed in Chu Yunxi’s eyes. As long as she could drive Mu Xiwan out, she would use any means necessary!

———

The next day, Mu Xiwan felt like she hadn’t slept so comfortably in a long time. After all, the environment of the Mu family’s old house was very quiet, unlike her rental apartment, where all sorts of noises started before dawn.

Even though she had changed her environment, Mu Xiwan woke up before the sun rose. She opened the curtains and went out to the balcony.

The balcony in her bedroom was much larger than the one in her rental room. There was a small door on one side of the balcony, which led to a small platform.

There was a sunroom on the platform, and outside the sunroom, there was a barbecue grill and various colorful flowers and plants, very beautiful.

Mu Xiwan wanted to go to the platform to meditate, but she thought that except for her father and brother, the rest of the family didn’t know she could practice Xuanjutsu, so she gave up the idea of going to the platform to meditate.

She spread a small cushion on her balcony, opened the window, and started meditating. The Mu family’s old house was closer to the suburbs, so the air was particularly good, and the spiritual energy in the air seemed to be more abundant.

With her every breath, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be summoned and slowly gathered towards her. Mu Xiwan focused all her attention, her mind free of distractions, guiding this spiritual energy to circulate through her meridians.

After a while, Mu Xiwan suddenly felt her whole body relaxed. Not only did she replenish the spiritual energy she had consumed when she gave Jiang Xingman acupuncture yesterday, but she also had some extra spiritual energy.
