TSFLIP Chapter 181

Qingyu remained silent, focusing on washing the dishes.

Fengguang darted over to his side. “If you answer my question, I won’t bother you anymore. How about that?”

Qingyu paused his movements; her words were quite tempting.

Seeing an opportunity, Fengguang pressed on, “You just think I’m annoying, right? If you answer my question, I’ll stop bothering you. Doesn’t that sound like a good deal?”

“My master treats my senior sister very well,” Qingyu replied before returning to the remaining dishes, showing no interest in why Fengguang was asking.

Fengguang thought that since she had gotten an answer, she would leave, but to her surprise, she continued to linger stubbornly.

She asked again, “In what way is he good to her?”

Qingyu finally looked at her directly, giving her a “Why are you still here?” kind of look.

But she was thick-skinned. “Come on, Qingyu, I want to ask you: what type of woman does your master like?”

Qingyu: “…”

In the end, Fengguang was chased out by Qingyu wielding a kitchen knife.

Standing at the kitchen door, she bit into a tomato she had grabbed earlier, thinking that once she regained her beauty, she would make him regret wanting to get close to her.

Hmph!

After comforting herself, she turned with a carefree demeanor, reminding herself that while she might be disliked today, she would be someone people could only look up to tomorrow.

Fengguang was about to return to her room when she spotted the man standing under the peach tree. She quickly changed her mind, tidied her hair, and decided to put her veil back on.

She walked over. “Doctor Xue.”

Xue Ran turned around. “Miss Xia.”

“Are you out here enjoying the moon, Doctor Xue?”

In the sky, dark clouds were hiding the moon. Girl, if you’re trying to strike up a conversation, this isn’t the way to do it… But somehow, Fengguang managed to act as if nothing was wrong.

Xue Ran smiled gently, like a breath of spring air. “I’m just thinking about some things.”

“What are you thinking about, Doctor Xue? Maybe I can help.”

For a moment, Xue Ran hesitated. “Miss Xia, may I ask… do you know where Yueyue went after leaving the Zhejian Tower?”

It was no wonder he hesitated, considering that Guan Yueyue was the one who had poisoned her.

“After I was poisoned, Yi Wushang took her away.” Mentioning her, Fengguang’s expression soured. “But I know she hates me.”

“Miss Xia… Yueyue is still young; please don’t take it to heart.”

“I’m still young too! I’m only sixteen, just a year older than her!”

He casually replied, “Sixteen—Miss Xia has reached the age of maturity.”

In this context, a girl reaching fifteen signifies she has become an adult and is eligible for marriage.

Xue Ran was just making an offhand comment, but Fengguang’s eyes sparkled as she smiled mischievously. “Yes, I can get married now.”

“I’ve heard of the Martial Alliance Leader’s renown. I imagine Yi Wushang is someone worth entrusting one’s life to.”

Fengguang’s expression darkened. “I don’t want to marry him!”

“Why not?” Xue Ran asked, surprised. “Yi Wushang is exceptional, and I’ve heard many young women are willing to be his concubines, but he has turned them all down due to his engagement.”

“He may be good-looking, but he’s just not my type.”

Her tone was filled with disdain, which made Xue Ran chuckle. “What exactly is your type, Miss Xia?”

“Well, you see, some people like to eat vegetables and radishes, while others prefer big fish and meat. As for me…” She smiled beneath her veil, “I just like to drink tea.”

“Tea?”

Oh, she found his lack of understanding to be so endearing! Even though this man looked much older than her.

Fengguang just loved men who exuded a mature charm! It was infuriatingly attractive to her!
