Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 55

Poor thing, the son was too busy eating to hear his pleas. As for Grandma Cai, she was holding her three-year-old son Cai Xiang, while Zhou Yanhua fed him chopsticks after chopsticks like a duck being force-fed.

Helpless, Qing Jianyue looked to Lu Qingcheng for help. Lu Qingcheng was talking to a couple sitting to her lower right. The man, named Su Haibo, was in his thirties and of average appearance. Apart from his elegant clothes, he had no other attractive features. However, his wife was absolutely extraordinary. Not only was she not ordinary, but she was also beautiful and graceful with fair skin.

Even glaring at her wouldn't make Lu Qingcheng turn around. Sigh, still angry about that phrase "peerless beauty." Qing Jianyue could only look at Qingfeng again.

At the next table to Qingfeng were Zhou Peng and his son from Tianyi Ranch. More than half of the funds and supplies for the recent battle against the Tianying Sect were provided by Zhou Peng and his son, and their outstanding management skills naturally earned them Lu Qingcheng's attention. Because Liu Jianhua embezzled public funds and instigated his cronies to collude with Sun Yue and the Tianying Sect, they were all executed in the battle of Maple Forest Valley. One of the three management positions became vacant, which Zhou Peng naturally filled, with his son Zhou Jie as his deputy. Therefore, throughout the banquet, Qingfeng spent the entire time drinking and chatting with Zhou Peng and his son, and as if it had been pre-arranged with Lu Qingcheng, she didn't even glance at him.

Honestly, still getting angry over that phrase "peerless beauty." So petty.

Kiyomi Tsuki was dejected; it seemed there was no chance. Although Miss White Rabbit over there had been waving and tempting him, one must have backbone. To betray the trust of his beloved fox for a crab would be a terrible loss.

Madam Lu said coldly, "A-Jing, why is Xiao-Yu nowhere to be seen?"

Mrs. Su chuckled, "Madam, she's behind us. Girls are such a hassle, having to comb their hair, draw their eyebrows, and put on eye makeup, hahaha, all that fuss and it'll be too late. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Xiaoyu is naturally beautiful; she doesn't need makeup to be stunning. Could she be too shy to come?"

Mrs. Lu stared at Mrs. Su with an inscrutable look, and Mrs. Su immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

"Don't worry, Madam, I've already sent someone to urge her. She'll be coming to see you soon."

Madam Lu withdrew her chilling gaze, took the fragrant tea offered by Xu Yun, and said, "Yun'er, give Mrs. Su a cup as well. Ah Jing, try Yun'er's tea. Yun'er's tea is fragrant and refreshing, and her tea ceremony skills are quite profound."

"Then we really must try it." Mrs. Su took the fragrant tea and said with a smile, "Miss Xu is so beautiful. She is beautiful, and the tea she brews is also beautiful. If Madam likes it, the Lord of the Manor will definitely like it very much too."

Xu Yun smiled radiantly, her dazzling beauty captivating Li Zhen, who stood behind Tong Fengrui.

Looking at the people performing with such abandon in Taoran Hall, Qingjian Yue let out another long yawn. Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, so sleepy! It was because he hadn't slept all night. Annoying, annoying, annoying, so annoying! It was because his mouth was watering, and he still couldn't get his hands on the drunken crab. So, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, he picked up the little white fox and tiptoed like a thief towards the entrance of Taoran Hall.

He had just stepped out the door when he was greeted by four beautiful maids escorting a stunningly beautiful woman. Kiyoshi was annoyed and had no choice but to pull his foot back.

"Miss Zhao has arrived."

Miss Zhao? I heard she's Su Haibo's sister-in-law, Mrs. Su's younger sister, and is incredibly beautiful, like a fairy. Moreover, since the start of the banquet, Mrs. Lu has been constantly asking Miss Zhao why she's so late. So, Qing Jianyue's curiosity was piqued, and she stared at her with wide eyes.

Miss Zhao Yu's captivating beauty was completely different from Xu Yun's. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, without a trace of makeup; she was truly like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without artifice. Her bright, sparkling eyes, paired with her fair and rosy skin, were incredibly alluring. But what was most mesmerizing was her captivating figure, her languid and languid demeanor, which was mesmerizing and inspired endless daydreams.

Upon entering the hall, Miss Zhao Yu stopped and sized up Qing Jian Yue. Suddenly, she smiled lazily, a smile that was charming and alluring. Politely, Qing Jian Yue returned the smile, while the little white fox not only smiled obsequiously but also wagged its fluffy tail.

“I know you, you are Kiyomi Tsuki. This furry thing in your hand is a fox.”

The little white fox was overjoyed and cried out: "Ha, beauty, you're right, the Fox King likes you."

Kiyomi asked curiously, "How do you know me, Miss?"

Zhao Yu smiled even more seductively, "Everyone knows the name Qing Jianyue."

Kiyomi Tsuki laughed like an idiot, "Ha, am I that famous?"

"Xiaoyu, come here quickly and greet Madam."

Mrs. Su urged anxiously. It wasn't that she was trying to curry favor; Mrs. Lu's face was becoming increasingly unpleasant, as if she'd been hit with rotten eggs.

Zhao Yu walked gracefully toward Madam Lu. Qing Jianyue was immediately intrigued and temporarily forgot about her sneaking away.

"Greetings, Madam. May you be blessed with good health and longevity."

Madam Lu's expression finally softened, and she smiled slightly. "Xiaoyu, you're late. Do you like the set of beaded jewelry I sent over?"

Zhao Yu said in a sweet voice, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I am truly unworthy of such praise."

Madam Lu glanced at her son and said, "Qingcheng, Xiaoyu is here, and you didn't even say hello."

Lu Qingcheng and Su Haibo's conversation was interrupted, and they both looked over. Zhao Yulian moved lightly, and Lu Qingcheng stood up. Qing Jianyue watched from afar; one was handsome and imposing, the other beautiful as a fairy—truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

May the Lord of the Fortress enjoy boundless blessings and peace.

"Ah!" Qing Jianyue sighed involuntarily. Miss Zhao Yu's delicate and charming appearance was so endearing. How could such a stunning beauty not stir one's heart?

Lu Qingcheng smiled nonchalantly, "Greetings, Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao is late, please take your seat."

"Yes." With the help of a maid, Zhao Yu sat down next to her sister.

"Xiaoyu has grown more and more beautiful. Three years ago, she was just a little girl, but now she's become a stunning beauty." Madam Lu smiled as she looked at her son. "Qingcheng, don't you think so?"

Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Yes. I was quite surprised to see you today."

Zhao Yu lowered his face.

Mrs. Su chuckled dryly, "Haha, Madam and Lord are too kind. How can I compare to Miss Xu, Madam's most beloved daughter? Miss Xu is truly as beautiful as a flower, and gentle and elegant..."

"Haibo, regarding the marriage between Qingcheng and Xiaoyu, I wonder what you two have thought about?" Madam Lu coldly interrupted Mrs. Su as she picked up a piece of fruit with her slender fingers.

Qing Jianyue's heart skipped a beat. Lu Qingcheng's face showed surprise; clearly, his mother had made this marriage arrangement on her own without consulting him. Qingfeng, Cai Bo'an, Lei Yongxiang, Lin Feng, and Bai Yiting and his daughter all looked over, each with a solemn expression. Xu Yun glanced around, enjoying the different expressions on everyone's faces in Taoran Hall, quite amused. Her brother, Xu Lan, kept his eyes closed, not even bothering to open them a crack.

People thought to themselves: Is there even a need to consider it? You asked me that in public; I have no choice but to agree. Otherwise, it would be open rebellion, and I wouldn't survive.

"My wife and I are extremely grateful for your kindness, Madam, but marriage is not a trivial matter." These were Su Haibo's words, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Madam Lu.

"Alright, don't say thank you or not. It's good that you approve of this marriage. I've already set the wedding date. It might be a bit tight, but you two can rest assured."

"Madam, we asked Xiaoyu, and she said she wants to make her own decision."

Mrs. Su interrupted her in the same way that Mrs. Lu interrupted others.

"Marriage is a major life event that should be decided by the parents," Madam Lu said, neither pleased nor angry.

“We are not her parents, just her sister and brother-in-law,” Mrs. Su interjected.
