Bei Mingyuan’s eyes twitched. Yue Lingyan had told her that this Missy Yun was different from the rumors. She couldn’t figure out exactly what was different. Now that she saw it, she finally understood.
No wonder Brother Jiu was interested in her. No wonder Brother Eleven couldn’t control her. If she was like this, then it wouldn’t be strange.
Bei Mingyuan closed her eyes. A hint of pain flashed across her beautiful face. That man was supreme, without a single trace of inferiority. He was stunning and peerless. Did he like a woman like Missy Yun?
But she wasn’t willing to accept it. She had liked him for three years. How could she accept him being with another woman? Long Zixuan, I will never give up on you.
Yue Lingyan’s eyes dimmed as she looked at Bei Mingyuan. Her breathing quickened. She clenched her fists on An Yunxi’s shoulder. She closed her eyes and calmed down.
She lowered her head and helped An Yunxi stand up. When she walked to Bei Mingyuan’s side, she opened her red lips and said gently, “Princess Lingyan, Yunxi’s injuries are not light. I’ll send her back first. Goodbye.”
Bei Mingyuan opened her eyes after hearing her voice. She looked at her indifferently and said, “Princess Lingyan, please do as you please. Also, thank you for bringing me here to find Missy Yun.”
Yue Lingyan shook her head and said, “Princess Lingyan is too polite. It was nothing.”
After saying that, she walked towards the door of the courtyard. When she passed by Beiming Chen, Yue Lingyan stopped and looked at him helplessly. Then, she walked away and didn’t speak to him again.
Beiming Chen watched her leave until he couldn’t see Yue Lingyan and An Yunxi’s backs. He didn’t look back.
“Brother Jiu, can we talk?”
The cold voice of the girl sounded in his ears. Beiming Chen turned around and looked at the girl who was the most like him in the Beiming Imperial Family.
His handsome face didn’t change at all. He said indifferently, “Seventh Sister, you learned how to look for people to talk when you came back this time.”
His voice was emotionless, but Beiming Yuan could sense a hint of mockery in it. Her eyes moved and she lowered her head. She said, “Brother Jiu, although I’m not Xue-er, I’m your sister. My mother-in-law and your mother-in-law are blood sisters. Are you really going to be so distant from me?”
Beiming Chen moved his throat and said, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Beiming Yuan looked at the pavilion outside the courtyard and said, “Brother Jiu, can we go there?”
Beiming Chen followed her gaze and didn’t speak. He walked towards the pavilion. Beiming Yuan looked at his dark back and a warm color flashed across her eyes. She smiled and followed him.
At noon, the sun was bright and warm. Bei Mingchen stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back. His slender body was tall and straight. He pursed his lips and looked outside the hall. No one knew what he was looking at.
Bei Mingyuan walked in. Her cold eyes were filled with warmth. She held her hands together and looked at him quietly.
“What do you want to talk about with me?”
Bei Mingchen didn’t look at her. His cold voice sounded. Bei Mingyuan lowered her head and said, “Brother Jiu, I haven’t seen you for three years. I just want to know if you are doing well.”
“I’m doing well,” Bei Mingchen’s eyes finally landed on her. He said in a dull voice, “You should be concerned about yourself.”
His eyes were like torches. They landed on her hand that was half hidden in her sleeve. A wave of panic rose in Bei Mingyuan’s heart. She shivered and hid her hand in her sleeve.
She nodded and bit her lips. “I’m doing well, Brother Jiu. In fact, I’m not as bad as you think I am.”
“If your so-called good is to make your hand into a weapon, then you are indeed doing well.”
Bei Mingchen turned around indifferently. His eyes moved away from her. His voice was cold and indifferent, but it was filled with mockery.
If Feng Yu heard this, she would be surprised. It turned out that Beiming Chen was not completely cold and indifferent. He could also have a mocking tone.
Beiming Yuan’s eyes suddenly became moist. For the first time, she felt that Brother Jiu cared about her. Although he was a bit cold, he still had brotherly love for her.
She bit her lips and took a step forward. She hugged Beiming Chen from behind and put her face on his back. Beiming Chen’s body stiffened, but he did not dodge or turn around to push her away.
A cool and wet feeling came from his back. Beiming Yuan’s weak and cold voice sounded in his ear, “Brother Jiu, I’m really good. But you, I heard from Yue Lingyan that you fell in love with Miss Yun San. Did you really fall in love with her?”
It was hard to imagine that a man like Brother Jiu would fall in love with a woman. Beiming Yuan’s heart was filled with complex emotions. She was happy and sad at the same time.
She was happy because Brother Jiu had feelings for a mortal. She was sad because Miss Yun San did not seem to like Brother Jiu.
She had seen it from the short moment just now. Brother Jiu really liked that woman. However, the way she looked at Brother Jiu was obviously not romantic.
It was very painful to fall in love with someone who did not like you. She had experienced it herself. How could she bear to let Brother Jiu experience that pain?
However, what should he do? How could a person’s feelings be easily swayed by others, especially by a man like Brother Jiu?
Bei Mingchen nodded and didn’t say anything else. However, this already meant that he had completely admitted his feelings for Feng Yu.
Bei Mingyuan walked to him and looked up at him. She said, “Brother Jiu, where’s Yue Lingyan? What’s the relationship between you and her? Why do I feel that you treat her better than you treat Xue Er? Is it because she saved you?”
More than ten years ago, Bei Mingchen was only a few years old. However, because of his talent, he was targeted by a group of people and they took him away.
Bei Mingchen had been calm and smart since he was young. He had escaped from the group of people and accidentally fell into the Demonic Domain. He was infected by the Demonic Qi and happened to meet the Patriarch of the Yue Family, Yue Zhenyang, who was traveling with Yue Lingyan.
Yue Zhenyang was Yue Lingyan’s grandfather.
When he met Bei Mingchen, who was infected by the Demonic Qi, Yue Zhenyang wanted to save him. However, it was Yue Lingyan who begged her grandfather to take Bei Mingchen out of the Demonic Domain. Yue Zhenyang had always doted on Yue Lingyan and saved Bei Mingchen.
On the way, Yue Lingyan took care of Bei Mingchen. For some reason, Yue Lingyan was infected by the Demonic Qi in Bei Mingchen’s body. Although it wasn’t serious, it would make her lose control and do things that she didn’t want to do.
Bei Mingyuan knew all of this. Therefore, three years ago, she was jealous of Yue Lingyan before she left the Northern Desolate Realm.
When she saw how well Bei Mingchen treated Yue Lingyan, she couldn’t help but think that if she was the one who saved Brother Jiu from the Demonic Domain, would Brother Jiu treat her so well?
However, she also knew that the one who saved Brother Jiu was Yue Lingyan and not her. Therefore, she should thank Yue Lingyan. At least, it was because of her that Brother Jiu was able to come out of the Demonic Domain alive.
Bei Mingchen looked at her with a dull expression and said lightly, “I am Lingyan’s family. There is no love between us. Lingyan doesn’t like me.”
He didn’t tell Bei Mingyuan that Yue Lingyan liked Long Zixuan because he knew that Bei Mingyuan also liked that man.
She had lost an arm because of that man, but she was still unwilling to give up.
Bei Mingchen squinted his eyes. He really didn’t know what was so good about that man that made these women fall in love with him. All of his sisters were obsessed with that man.
Was that man the curse that the women of the Beiming Family couldn’t break?
Bei Mingyuan’s eyes moved. She bit her lips and said hesitantly, “Brother Jiu, what would you do if Yue Lingyan asked you to marry her one day?”
Bei Mingchen’s pupils contracted and even his breathing became sluggish. After a long while, he said, “She won’t.”
Bei Mingyuan lowered her head and didn’t speak anymore. However, her heart was still beating fast. What if that day really came?
Si Manor.
The door of the study was opened. Long Zixuan was wearing a purple robe and a black cloak. He was sitting behind the desk with a folded letter in his hand.
He seemed to be in a trance, but his eyes were not focused on the paper. He was obviously in a trance.
“Dong, dong…”
A crisp knocking sound was heard. Long Zixuan’s eyes moved and he turned around. He saw Chi Xiao standing at the door with a letter in his hand.
“Master, the Charming Shadow has sent a letter.”
Long Zixuan raised his eyebrows. A charming smile appeared on his face. “Bring it in.”
He had waited for so many days and finally had news about Little Feather. This ruthless girl didn’t even wait for him to come back to say goodbye and left.
She was really ruthless. When she came back this time, he would definitely teach her a lesson. He would see if she would dare to leave him without saying goodbye.
“Yes, Master.”
Chi Xiao walked into the study and respectfully handed the letter to Long Zixuan. Long Zixuan reached out his hand and received the letter. He looked at Chi Xiao coldly.
Chi Xiao immediately lowered his head and said in a weak voice, “My lord, I will take my leave now.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but why was his lord so anxious to chase him away? He was really going to tear down the bridge after crossing the river. He didn’t even think about how hard he had worked to deliver the letter.
Long Zixuan then looked away with satisfaction and said in a devilish voice, “Remember to close the door.”
