Kiyomi Tsuki et son renard

Chapitre 45

The three pondered for a moment, then Nalan said, "Minglu, the wedding is imminent, and there really isn't a good way to cancel the engagement right now, but..." Nalan stopped there and didn't continue.

Fu Jin asked urgently, "Nalan, stop beating around the bush and just tell me the 'but'!"

Minglu also asked, "How is it?"

Nalan smiled and said, "Although there's no good way to break off the engagement, we can try to postpone it so that we have enough time to carefully plan how to handle this matter properly."

Fu Jin nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Minglu's expression darkened, and he asked, "Nalan, what brilliant plan do you have?"

Nalan smiled and shook his head, his eyes flashing, "It's not a brilliant plan. Minglu might suffer a bit."

"you mean……"

******************

Tian Xiri's encounter with Fu Jin and Nalan on her way home was unexpected. She had planned to remain hidden and blend in, but Fu Jin refused to let her go while she was in the car. Left with no other choice, she had to show herself, say those words, and put on that show, which further strengthened Tian Xiri's shining image in the hearts of Fu Jin and Nalan.

Afterwards, they finally returned safely to the old house.

After peering around the carriage to make sure no one was suspicious, and covering his face with a veil, he got out of the carriage, dismissed the driver, and went inside alone.

At this time, there was still no one inside the house.

It seems Tian Shuang and Tian Yong haven't returned yet. I can't help but feel a little uneasy, wondering how things are going with them.

Without thinking too much, she went back inside to change into men's clothes and only felt relieved after getting ready.

Just then, she heard a knock at the door. When she opened it, she saw a carriage parked outside. The person who knocked was one of Minglu's attendants. The attendant explained that the Prince had invited her to his residence for a chat.

Xi Ri did not refuse. She was originally going to find Ming Lu today as well. The night before last, she had an unexpected encounter with Ming Lu in the camellia forest, and they made an appointment to prepare together to wipe out the mountain bandits today.

Xi Ri asked his attendants to wait a moment, went back inside to leave a note for Tian Shuang and Tian Yong, and then went out to get into the carriage.

The carriage passed through the noisy street and stopped in front of the Ming Prince's mansion. Xi Ri lifted the curtain and looked out. Seeing that the attendants had already set up the footrests, she got off the carriage. The attendants led her to the back garden. After meeting Ming Lu and the others, she took her leave.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group finally took their seats.

When Minglu saw that Xiri had arrived, he immediately ordered the servants to serve the dishes.

Xi Ri glanced at Fu Jin subconsciously, only to find that Fu Jin was also looking at her, his eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Xi Ri smiled at him and said, "Brother Jin, do you not recognize me after just one day?"

Fu Jin paused slightly, withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly asked, "Brother Yu, do you have a younger sister?"

Huh? This time, it was Xiri's turn to be taken aback.

Upon hearing Fu Jin's words, Ming Lu and Nalan burst into laughter. Ming Lu said with a smile, "Brother Yu, Fu Jin is treacherous. You'd better not tell him, even if you have a sister."

Nalan also laughed and said, "Brother Yu, if you really have a sister, you'd better let her hide her away as soon as possible, so that Fu Jin never finds her."

Everyone burst into laughter, while Fu Jin glared fiercely at Ming Lu and Nalan.

A maidservant placed a bowl of sweet soup in front of Xiri. Xiri picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and blew on it.

At this moment, Fu Jin slammed his fist on the table indignantly and said, "What! I feel uncomfortable if I don't see Brother Yu for a day. There's a saying: 'A day apart feels like three autumns,' and that's exactly how I feel right now."

Pfft... The sweet soup I had just tasted yesterday sprayed out.

Nalan and Minglu, two young masters from prestigious families, no longer cared about their image or the food in their mouths, and burst into laughter.

Xi Ri hurriedly wiped the corner of her mouth, looking at Fu Jin with a mix of laughter and tears. She saw Fu Jin staring at Ming Lu and Na Lan, who were laughing so hard they were falling over. His expression was quite funny, a mixture of anger, helplessness, hatred, and amusement, with even a hint of grievance.

Looking back with a smile, a warm feeling suddenly rose in my heart.

These individuals are seen as formidable figures by outsiders, not only because of their social status but also because they are not easily approachable.

Fu Jin's lawlessness, Nalan's shrewdness and cunning, Ming Lu's deep composure, and Xi En's sinister ruthlessness all made ordinary people keep their distance. Even when they walked down the street, people would give way to them, not daring to provoke them.

Take Fu Jin for example. Just a moment ago, he could be openly beating people in the street, acting like an unreasonable bully. But now, he could only sit in Ming Lu's mansion, being mocked by Ming Lu and Nalan, glaring and berating them. In a way, he even became a little more endearing.

Thinking back, she realized that they had always been laughing and joking together these past few days. Although being with them made her feel physically and mentally exhausted because of the deception, she couldn't deny that she sometimes didn't dislike being with them.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of envy for Minglu, who, despite his prestigious status, also had such a group of friends.

Just as she was thinking this, Xi Ri was startled to hear Nalan say teasingly, "Fu Jin, you haven't fallen for Yu Di, have you?"

puff……

This time, it wasn't her who sprayed it.

………………

Sorry to keep you all waiting. I haven't been feeling well lately and haven't had the energy to write. This chapter is a bit mixed up and written from several angles. I don't know if you all understood it.

Seeing so many people's dissatisfaction and negative reviews towards me... I comfort myself by saying, "The deeper the love, the deeper the hate..."

The main text begins with the extermination of the bandits.

This time, Fu Jin sprayed it himself, and the situation was terrible. After spraying, he choked because he was in a hurry to speak and kept coughing. Even Xi Ri forgot the shock that the previous sentence had brought her and kept laughing.

After coughing, Fu Jin, still hoarse, didn't forget to defend himself!

He started out righteously and solemnly declaring that he had no homosexual tendencies. Later, with everyone looking at him with ambiguous and unconvinced expressions, he finally couldn't help but start banging on the table and smashing bowls and chopsticks, basically making things worse the more he tried to explain.

The meal was almost entirely eaten while the group kept spitting out their food, but it had a unique flavor.
