Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 923: With You Always (68)

Jun Xiangyi took the drink interlaced in his arm and downed it in one go.

"You rest here well, I’ll go out to toast, and later I’ll bring you some food."

Jun Xiangyi waved his hand, "Go ahead."

Seeing him leave the room, the smile on her face disappeared. She collapsed onto the bed, muttering to herself lifelessly, "From now on, I’m a married woman..."

After lying there for a while, she sat up straight, removed the golden hairpin and jade ornaments from her head, and walked over to the few large boxes placed in front of the wardrobe, which contained her luggage.

She squatted down and took out a red cheongsam to change into.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Jun Xiangyi casually braided two pigtails.

"Fifth Madam, these are gifts from the guests. Fifth Master asked me to bring them all here."

Jun Xiangyi looked over to see a dozen strong and tall men each carrying large boxes coming in.

After a few rounds back and forth, they soon piled up like a small mountain on the floor.

Getting interested, Jun Xiangyi dragged a stool to sit there and started tearing open the packages with her bare hands.

Truly, there was a bit of everything.

But the greatest number of gifts were wallets.

With names written on them.

Halfway through tearing, Feng Qinglian came in with a tray, seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but laugh, "I say, Madam, you should at least wait for your husband to come before you start."

"Why wait for you to come? Split the red packets with you?"

Feng Qinglian shook his head, placing the tray on the table, "Don’t worry, the financial control of the household is all yours. You must be very hungry, eat first."

Jun Xiangyi got up, sat over there, picked up chopsticks, and started eating without any courtesy, "Have you eaten?"

"I have."

"Are you going to toast again?"

"No need, I’ve already toasted." His voice was slightly deep, "Is the food to your taste?"

Jun Xiangyi nodded, "It’s delicious."

"I saw Xu Mohan, the Third Prince of the Netherworld, also came with his wife."

"I saw." Jun Xiangyi replied, "Most people would avoid him; I didn’t expect him to come."

"This shows that you’re not as bad as outsiders say. If you were really that bad, why would he come?"

"I’ve saved him twice, probably on account of that." Jun Xiangyi said, "You’d better prepare yourself, after all, you’ve married me, Jun Xiangyi, there’s no return; my father said that he’ll let me die here, so marrying me, don’t regret it."

"Such a major life event isn’t child’s play. Since I’ve married you, I’m prepared to be your husband for a lifetime."

Though he sounded serious, Jun Xiangyi was not convinced; she didn’t know him, who knew what he really thought. A few words wouldn’t easily earn her trust.

"I hope what you say is true," Jun Xiangyi said while eating, "Though I have no assurance in embarking on another marriage, I hope having become husband and wife, if there is fate, even if we can’t love each other, treating each other with respect would also be good."

"Why don’t you ask why I married you?"

"Even if I ask, you may not answer truthfully from your heart; not asking saves the disappointment."

"I heard you had a short-lived marriage with a boy from the Human World..."

"Not a marriage, just a romance, very brief." She explained, "I deliberately said that because I wanted to try being with him; he knew I wasn’t ordinary, his parents knew too, and because of fear, they took him abroad." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Feng Qinglian’s fingers gently tapped on the table, "So that’s how it is."
