Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 924: With You Always (69)

"I don’t know much about you. Aren’t you planning on telling me something yourself?"

"You’ve already got the basic info. I truly have never had an engagement, but I did have someone I loved. She died ten years ago. It took me a decade to let go of her. I think I should start a new life. I was muddled and unhappy throughout those years."

"What species was she?"

"Just like me."

Jun Xiangyi held up the bowl, finished her millet corn porridge, and wiped her mouth. "Let’s continue opening the gifts."

Feng Qinglian sat with her, helping her with the unwrapping.

When they came to a box, he glanced at the name. "This one’s from Xu Mohan."

Jun Xiangyi took it and tore it open, finding two pieces of extremely rare Blood Medicine Grass inside.

This herb virtually covers all ailments and has powerful healing properties.

Many people can’t find it anywhere. It’s unknown how Xu Mohan got it, and he gifted her two pieces.

Upon seeing it, Feng Qinglian remarked, "Such a precious gift, it’s truly extravagant."

Jun Xiangyi tucked it away without saying anything.

Seeing her quiet, Feng Qinglian kept a layer of implication at bay.

After attending the wedding banquet, Xu Mohan and his wife returned to Qin Garden with Long Yubei, while Gu Lili didn’t share their route.

By the time they reached Xu Mohan’s house, Shan Langyuan had been waiting for quite a while.

"I’ve been wondering, third brother, third sister-in-law, and Seventh Brother, why did you take so long?"

"Was it long?" Long Yubei didn’t think so. "You weren’t there, so you felt it was long."

"I certainly wouldn’t attend." Shan Langyuan found it hard to change his impression of Jun Xiangyi, though he felt he might be too biased against her. "What gifts did you all give?"

"We gave a red envelope," Long Yubei replied.

"What about you, third brother and third sister-in-law?"

"I don’t know what your third brother gave, you’ll have to ask him," Nan Yuesheng genuinely didn’t know what Xu Mohan had prepared. "Mohan, what did you give?"

"Two pieces of Blood Medicine Grass."

Nan Yuesheng showed no reaction, as she had no idea what Blood Medicine Grass was; she’d never heard of it.

But Shan Langyuan was astonished. "Third brother, you gave her Blood Medicine Grass? Two pieces? Are you mad?!"

Xu Mohan slightly furrowed his brow. "Jun Xiangyi saved my life twice, what’s wrong with giving it as a wedding gift?"

"Tenth brother, what’s Blood Medicine Grass?" Nan Yuesheng asked.

"Third sister-in-law, Blood Medicine Grass is extremely rare and has very strong healing abilities. By the way..." Shan Langyuan asked, "Third brother, where did you get it from? It’s so rare and hard to obtain."

"Requested it from father."

"Father actually gave it to you?"

"Upon hearing I intended it as a wedding gift for Jun Xiangyi, father gave it. He also believed I owed her and should give it."

"That’s quite nice," Long Yubei said, folding his hands on his lap. "No matter how precious Blood Medicine Grass is, it’s just an item. How can it compare with saving a life?"

Xu Mohan agreed. "Merely giving money is very insincere, and she isn’t short on money."

"That makes sense," Shan Langyuan chuckled. "Let’s hope Jun Xiangyi and her husband have a good life together this time, or else she’ll become the laughing stock of the Five Realms again. With her around, the Five Realms have gained plenty of topics to discuss."

"I reckon if she doesn’t live well, you’d be the happiest," Xu Mohan criticized him. "Stop holding prejudice against her."

"I know, but having been poisoned by her scandals for so long makes it hard to change my impression of her. I’ll try my best to change."
