74 -73: It’s Just Fate, Too Ridiculous_1

Nanxi arrived at the teahouse at the agreed-upon time.

The setting was quite satisfying; blue and white porcelain cups, rosewood tables and benches, the place wasn’t too crowded, and everyone there wore expressions of leisure, free of concerns.

Nanxi took a deep breath.

Of course, those who have the time to leisurely enjoy tea must know how to enjoy life.

Her mother once had a period of infatuation with tea ceremony, saying that one’s mood would diffuse with the aroma of tea, mild and deep.

Nanxi looked around and her gaze swiftly landed on a seductive woman savoring her tea alone in a not too distant corner.

The woman’s beauty was overwhelming, attracting glances from the nearby patrons.

The men’s eyes were filled with admiration, the women’s with envy…

However, the woman remained calm and unruffled throughout, not revealing any hint of joy or sorrow.

As Nanxi approached, Li Muyun had already turned her head and saw her.

Her eyes were still calm.

She merely extended her hand, pouring a cup of tea, “Top-grade Biluochun tea.

Try it, it’s really good!”

Nanxi nodded and uttered a word of thanks.

When facing the Li family, she didn’t feel inferior, nor did she harbor any feelings of self-abasement.

Still, there was an inexplicable fear that rose within her heart.

That was the absolute truth.

After Nanxi sat down, the tea was passed to her hands.

She picked it up and took a sip.

The aroma of the tea slowly diffused in the air, while the tea itself was sweet, refreshing, and fragrant.

It was indeed good.

“I apologize for calling you over so suddenly, I hope you don’t mind…” Li Muyun said.

Nanxi shook her head, “That’s very kind of you!”

Li Muyun nodded, casually brushing the long waves of her hair.

This simple action was brimming with allure.

Nanxi inhaled: it was truly impressive how a woman could cultivate such an aura!

“When Weihuan came home last time, I happened to be away on a trip.

I only just returned last night…” Li Muyun began with those words.

Nanxi responded with a grunt.

Li Muyun had come to her as soon as she got back.

It seemed she had already found out about the incidents that had occurred in the short period Weihuan had been home!

As expected, Li Muyun said, “Nanxi, how should I put it?

I don’t dislike you.

Nor do I share the utilitarian views of my mother.

On the contrary, I think you’re a lovely girl, well worthy of a man treating you well…

Unfortunately, my brother Weihuan, he’s not the right one for you!”

A thump sounded in Nanxi’s heart.

Although she had expected it, she was still a little surprised and momentarily at a loss for words.

Li Muyun continued, “Over these six years, you’ve been with Weihuan, you must have felt it.

He’s a restless person.

Due to you, he’s caused a lot of trouble, and since returning from overseas, everyone, including you, must have thought he would have changed.

We all waited for him to change, but the reality is…”

Her fingers tightened slightly around the teacup.

The taste of the Biluochun still hovered in her mouth, but at that moment, Nanxi felt a trace of bitterness rise.

Her eyelashes quivered slightly.

Her expression didn’t change much, but her body was tense, remaining absolutely still.

Li Muyun said, “Nanxi, I came here today with sincerity, so…

name your price!”

Nanxi was stunned.

Name a price?

For what?

Li Muyun took her purse from the seat beside her, pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, then slid them over, “This is a check, you fill in the amount.

As long as you’re willing to leave Weihuan, any amount is fine…

Of course, I know you aren’t the type of girl who lusts for wealth, but after all, you’ve been with Weihuan for six years.

This should compensate for the loss of your youth over these six years…”

Compensation for the loss of my youth over six years?

Compensation?!

“Ha!”

Nanxi stared at the check, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Li Muyun was puzzled and looked at Nanxi with some surprise.

Seeing her expression change, she asked her, “What are you laughing at…”

Nanxi shook her head, her voice slowly emerging, “Actually, it’s nothing.

It’s just funny…”

After she finished speaking, her eyes curved up again, and Li Muyun’s face immediately turned a bit sour, “Nanxi, this is not doing you any good…”

Nanxi restrained her expression, then said, “You misunderstand me, I’m not laughing at you.

I just find it…

I find fate laughable!

Just before I came to meet you, I was worrying about money.

And then, you immediately offer me money…

So, I think it’s really funny!”

The expression on Li Muyun’s face softened slightly as she sighed and said, “Since you need the money, now’s a great chance.

Fill in the amount, sign it, and all your problems will be solved!”

Nanxi bit her lip and did not answer.

She just helplessly shook her head with a soft voice as if she was lacking strength.

She said, “I’m sorry…”

Li Muyun froze!

Nanxi said, “Since you’re Weihuan’s elder sister and I’m Weihuan’s girlfriend, I suppose it wouldn’t be too excessive for me to call you ‘Sister’ as a matter of courtesy…”

Li Muyun pursed her lips and didn’t respond.

Nanxi said, “Sister, I have to admit, I’m in desperate need of money right now, really desperate.

Because I need the money to save a life…

But, much as I need money, I cannot exchange the feelings of these six years that I share with Weihuan for money…”

Li Muyun took a deep breath as Nanxi continued, “You’re right.

There have been many issues between Weihuan and I.

Over these six years, Weihuan has gotten into a lot of trouble because of me.

He got into trouble again for me during these few days he’s been back in the country.

I feel guilty from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve pondered countless times whether we could really make it till the end.

Should I persist?

Did I do anything wrong…?”

“I’ve doubted, I’ve been at a loss, I’ve felt helpless, and I’ve even despaired.

But I can’t bear to leave him and don’t dare to leave him because I don’t have that right…”

“Six years ago, my parents suddenly disappeared.

I felt my world collapse at that instant.

I still don’t dare to recall that feeling of despair…

It was Weihuan who found my family for me.

I got to know Susu, Lanlan, and many other warm and lovely people because of him…

Without Weihuan, I don’t know where I would be today or what my life would be like…”

“He has comforted me time and again, encouraged me, and given me the courage to live and the determination to persist.

He has given me so much, but he has only ever asked for one thing from me.

He said, ‘Nanxi, promise me, stay by my side, never leave me!'”

Li Muyun pursed her lips, her eyes glimmering slightly, but she didn’t interrupt Nanxi’s words.

Nanxi smiled faintly, “I understand that Weihuan and I aren’t entirely compatible in many aspects.

But life is long, and the journey of life is rugged.

I want to give Weihuan a chance, and also give myself a chance to keep trying.

If everything in the future proves that we aren’t suitable for each other, and we part ways, it could only be due to helplessness.

But I don’t want this helplessness to be mixed with anything else.”

“So sister, I’m sorry.

I can’t accept your proposition, and I ask that you respect my feelings, and your brother Weihuan’s intentions.

Thank you!”
