A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1484 - 287: The Maggot Clinging to the Bone

Even though he felt that Ye Xiaoxiao deserved what she got, he still felt a bit of relief in his heart at this moment.

He thought to himself that his master was still clear-headed, knowing what should be done and what should not be done.

"Enough." Ning Zihuan spoke lightly, and several people immediately stepped back, standing respectfully to the side.

Ye Xiaoxiao lay on the ground in a mess, like a heap of mud.

Ning Zihuan slowly walked over to Ye Xiaoxiao, covering his mouth with a handkerchief, bending down with a smile: "Ye Xiaoxiao, how does it feel?"

Ye Xiaoxiao’s nails dug tightly into the ground beneath her, her body already numb from the pain, "Hehehehe— I was still too naive...."

Naive enough to underestimate a man’s heart.

"Ye Xiaoxiao, your mistake was treating everyone as if they were like you. Not everyone is as crazy as you are. Just hold on to your naive dreams and sleep here forever."

Ning Zihuan slowly stood up, as if he couldn’t be bothered to look at this woman any longer, and walked away.

Jing He signaled to a few people, who immediately understood, nodding subtly, eager to get to work.

"Huh? Where’s the gift Zihuan gave me?" Yun Ya remembered clearly that she had placed it on the table. She had just gone to the bathroom and couldn’t find it when she got back.

Yan Song raised an eyebrow, "Look again, it’s in this room. It won’t have grown wings and flown away."

Yun Ya suddenly looked at him, puzzled, "Did you hide it from me?"

Yan Song coughed, "What would I need that thing for?"

Yun Ya suddenly pounced on him, rummaging through his pockets, "You definitely hid it. You weren’t happy when Zihuan came, so you must like his gift even less...."

Yan Song suddenly seized her hands, looking down at her with a teasing smile, "If I said I hid it, what would you do?"

Yun Ya squinted at him, "Then you owe me one."

Yan Song laughed heartily, "Okay, I’ll get you another one. That earring he carved wasn’t good at all, you can tell he didn’t put much effort into it. Is this the kind of thing he’s putting out there? I’ll personally carve you a better one next time, how about that?"

Yun Ya happily cuddled into his arms, "Okay."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhuang Xiyue’s voice came from outside: "Yun Ya, it’s me."

Yun Ya quickly pushed Yan Song, tidied her hair, and called out, "Aunt Zhuang, the door’s unlocked, come in."

Zhuang Xiyue pushed the door open and came in, holding Yun Ya’s hand with a smile, "I’m sorry you were wronged earlier. Don’t worry. Aunt Zhuang won’t let anyone ruin your engagement party today."

Yun Ya smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Zhuang."

"We’re family now, no need for such polite words, let’s not make it awkward."

Yun Ya pursed her lips and smiled.

Thinking of something, Zhuang Xiyue said, "That Miss Yi, she’s your second aunt’s niece, right? She’s really quite different in temperament from your second aunt, but she’s a good kid."

She patted Yun Ya’s hand, "You don’t have many friends in the Capital City. You might try to get to know Peilan."

Yun Ya nodded, "I also like Miss Yi a lot. She helped me quite a bit during the Spring meeting last time. I’ve always wanted to find a chance to thank her."

"Alright, I’ll host a banquet for her another day and invite your second aunt to keep us company. You young people can have a good time."

Zhuang Xiyue had everything arranged, which moved Yun Ya deeply. She was just about to say thank you but remembered Aunt Zhuang’s words and stopped abruptly.

Just then, Huo Rendong, Zhuang Fanxing, and Zhuang Jingmo knocked and came in. The Zhuang Family was always low-key. Logically, Old Master Zhuang is famous throughout Huaxia, and the two Zhuang family daughters married exceptionally well, which should attract many people who want to associate with them. However, Zhuang Fanxing had kept away from the public eye for years, never meeting outsiders. Huo Rendong, meanwhile, stuck to his principles, never participating in any of the socialite gatherings, and Zhuang Jingmo never joined those socialite gatherings either.

This time, attending the banquet didn’t attract any attention. They went straight past the lavish crowd to see Zhuang Xiyue and Yun Ya.

"Aunt, cousin, cousin." Yan Song greeted each of them.

Yun Ya followed Yan Song, sweetly greeting them.

Huo Rendong and Zhuang Fanxing smiled and nodded.

Zhuang Jingmo exclaimed, holding Yun Ya’s hand and taking a good look at her: "I finally understand what the ancients meant by ’The Beauty of the North, unparalleled and unique, capturing the city with one glance, captivating the nation with the next.’"

She had seen many beauties but none gave her such a deep impression. She thought her cousin was indeed lucky.

Yun Ya shyly lowered her eyes, "Cousin, don’t tease me."

"Haha, you’re embarrassed." Zhuang Jingmo laughed.
