Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 238: Envy

Tang Wan didn’t know how Ding Xuan found out that Duan Yunfei had also come to the Prefecture, and she had invited her aunt to act as a mediator, asking to bring her along.

She had already promised Yan Yijie that she would come, and there was no way to decline halfway, so she had to bring her along too.

The dinner was soon served one dish after another, and everyone was talking and laughing except for Ding Xuan.

"Master Duan, it’s been a long time." She poured herself a cup of wine, raised it to Duan Yunfei, and said sweetly.

"And you are?" Duan Yunfei looked at her suspiciously.

Ding Xuan’s smile stiffened.

"Pfft—"

Xuan Ying couldn’t help but laugh out loud insensitively.

Although Xuan Ying was not old, he had been in the Jianghu for quite some time, and was used to seeing the genuine emotions among those in the Jianghu, he couldn’t stand the pretentiousness of a double-faced girl like Ding Xuan.

Quickly recovering her smile, Ding Xuan playfully scolded, "Master Duan, you really know how to joke. I visited you just last year with my cousin."

Duan Yunfei said indifferently, "I really don’t know you."

In his life, he only remembered two kinds of people: those in his heart and his enemies.

As for the others, he wouldn’t spend any effort remembering them. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Seeing his indifferent expression, which did not look like he was joking, Ding Xuan’s face turned pale for a moment.

"Since Master Duan has forgotten, let me introduce myself again." She set down her cup and continued with a smile, "My surname is Ding, with the single name ’Xuan’, in my blossoming age of sixteen, and not yet married."

That meant, I’m sixteen this year, still single, and you have a chance.

Shen Qinglan glanced at her with a half-smile but said nothing.

Ding Xuan gazed at the man opposite her with affection, not expecting him to respond with just a faint "Oh" and nothing more.

This person, how could he be so oblivious?

Her bright red lips instantly pressed tightly, and the hand holding the wine cup couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Tang Wan found the scene before her rather embarrassing, even on behalf of Ding Xuan.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Duan Yunfei had no interest in her and didn’t even care to pay attention, yet she refused to believe it and kept advancing—wasn’t this just bringing embarrassment upon herself?

Ding Xuan’s nature was similar to that of Yi Qianqian’s, having been pampered since childhood, always getting whatever she wanted, so she always thought that what they set their eyes on would surely become theirs, not realizing that people and things are ultimately different.

Sure, everyone loves beauty, but even among beauties, people naturally make their choices based on other factors like personality, character, and behavior.

Tang Wan thought that if she were Duan Yunfei, she would also choose a girl like Shen Qinglan.

Although sometimes Shen Qinglan seemed a bit naive, her disposition was genuine, neither arrogant nor impatient, living freely and leisurely.

Tang Wan thought to herself: A girl like that must live a very carefree and unrestrained life, right?

As a lady of the house, she spent most of her time with the arts like music, chess, literature, and painting, or using embroidery to pass the time; opportunities to go out were scarce, so she envied Shen Qinglan’s unrestrained and free way of life.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing her staring blankly at Shen Qinglan, Yan Yijie couldn’t help but ask.

Tang Wan snapped back to reality and silently smiled, "Nothing!"

"Eat more, you’ve lost a lot of weight recently." Yan Yijie placed a few pieces of meat in her bowl.

After dinner, Tang Wan, ignoring Ding Xuan’s pleading and resentful gaze, made an excuse about having something to attend to and left for the Tang Mansion.

No matter what, Ding Xuan was her cousin, and she truly did not want her to continue embarrassing herself.

Yet Tang Wan, who was wholeheartedly thinking of Ding Xuan, didn’t know that the latter had already developed a sense of resentment towards her.
