However, when she lifted her eyes slightly, she suddenly met a pair of eyes. It was too sudden and unexpected. She did not even have time to hide the smile on her lips.
The instant her eyes met his, Meng Fuying completely froze.
Xuanyuan Ye! Why was he here?
The last time at the empress dowager’s place, she had only given him a rough glance. Furthermore, at that time, he had not looked at her.
This time, their eyes met and she was secretly amazed.
She had never known that a man could be so beautiful. However, he did not seem feminine at all. Instead, he exuded a formless domineering aura and a kingly aura that could control everything.
That pair of eyes seemed to have an irresistible attraction. Even if you knew that it was a bottomless abyss, you would still jump down uncontrollably. Even if you knew that it was lethal poison, you would still drink it without hesitation.
She’d never known a mere eye contact could bring her such a shock.
Meng Fuying’s body stiffened slightly.
In her heart, she was secretly shocked. This man was too dangerous, way too dangerous. She was sure that everything that had just happened had fallen into his eyes.
That was because she knew that nothing in this world could escape that pair of eyes.
No matter how much she thought about it, she never expected Xuanyuan Ye to appear here.
“Seventh Brother, why are you here?” Xuanyuan Mo said respectfully when he saw who it was.
The man did not answer, but his eyes that were looking at Meng Fuying slowly moved away. When they moved to the sachet on Xuanyuan Mo’s waist, they paused slightly.
Meng Fuying was secretly alarmed. When she saw him looking at the sachet on Xuanyuan Mo’s waist, her heart slightly tensed up. He had really seen it. Was he going to expose her and punish her?
However, his eyes only paused on the sachet for a moment before slowly shifting away. He did not speak.
“Your Highness, so you’re here.” A clear and pleasant voice drifted over. Meng Ruxue slowly walked over, her beautiful face filled with joy. However, when she saw Meng Fuying, the joy on her face suddenly froze.
However, she immediately laughed softly and said, “So you’re here too, little sister. No wonder I didn’t see you even after searching for a long time. All the guests are here. You usually like the crowd, why haven’t you gone over yet?”
“Xue’er, can you not call this ugly freak over? I can’t even eat when I see this ugly freak,” Xuanyuan Mo said with disgust before Meng Fuying could speak.
Meng Fuying’s eyes narrowed slightly. She had seen people with venomous mouths, but had never seen one as venomous as this.
This man was too much.
Although she didn’t like to cause trouble, she wouldn’t allow others to bully her. She would pay them back double.
Looking at the sachet on his waist again, her lips curled into an evil sneer.
“Ninth Prince, don’t say that about Ying’er. She will be sad.” Meng Ruxue lowered her head slightly and said with a troubled expression.
“You’re the kindest and always protect her. People like her don’t know what being sad feels like.” Xuanyuan Mo sneered.
Meng Fuying sneered inwardly. Meng Ruxue was indeed good at acting.
“Let’s go.” Xuanyuan Ye, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. As he spoke, he turned and left.
Xuanyuan Mo and Meng Ruxue were stunned for a moment. They didn’t expect Xuanyuan Ye to suddenly speak, but they followed after him.
Meng Fuying slowly followed.
It was almost time for the birthday celebration. Besides, there was still a good show to watch. No matter what, she could not miss it.
Although it was spring, the weather was hot and stuffy. Furthermore, everyone was dressed in formal attire. Xuanyuan Mo, who was walking in front, had sweat on his clothes. His sweat soaked the sachet, and the smell of pollen slowly dispersed and became stronger.
Meng Fuying’s smile grew wider.
Walking to the front courtyard, those young masters and young ladies were chatting under the pavilion in the courtyard.
Seeing them walk over, everyone came over and bowed to the Seventh Prince and Xuanyuan Mo, and wished Meng Ruxue well. No one paid any attention to Meng Fuying.
Meng Fuying, on the other hand, had a calm and natural expression. There was not the slightest bit of annoyance on her face, nor was there any trace of anger. It was as if nothing had happened.
Those people seemed to be stunned for a moment. They did not expect this fool, who always liked to stir up trouble, to be so calm. Even if she was not stupid now, she could not have changed so much, right?
Meng Fuying saw the surprise on everyone’s faces and secretly sneered in her heart. Although she did not know how Meng Fuying had interacted with them in the past, she was certain of one thing. They had all treated Meng Fuying as a joke.
“Xue’er, this is a gift that Yulan specially prepared for you, and it was Brother Chen who chose it with me.” The swelling on Feng Yulan’s face had already subsided, leaving only a few fine scars. However, she had applied some powder, so it was concealed. She glared angrily at Meng Fuying, then handed a small box in her hand to Meng Ruxue. Her voice was deliberately flaunting, especially when she spoke of Bai Yichen, her tone clearly becoming heavier.
She was clearly saying this on purpose for Meng Fuying to hear it, and also to provoke Meng Fuying. As she spoke, she even looked at Bai Yichen behind her affectionately.
Bai Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly. He seemed to be slightly angry, but it was unclear whether it was towards Meng Fuying or Feng Yulan.
Everyone’s eyes turned towards Meng Fuying as they revealed looks of schadenfreude. They were also waiting for Meng Fuying’s reaction as they watched the commotion.
Every time someone tried to snatch Bai Yichen from her, she would go crazy.
This time…
Meng Fuying acted as if he did not hear anything. Her face remained calm. She did not even look at Feng Yulan or Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen’s eyes darkened slightly, but the anger on his face became more obvious.
Everyone was clearly stunned. When Meng Fuying heard Feng Yulan’s words, she was actually still so calm. Could it be that her personality had really changed?
Her natural demeanor was something that no one else could pretend to be. What surprised him even more was that there seemed to be an air of arrogance from deep within her.
At this moment, her ugly face seemed to have a peculiar aura due to her calmness. Especially the faint smile on the corner of her lips, which seemed to possess a unique charm.
Was this woman really the Meng Fuying of the past?
