1814 In Chunfeng Town (1)
Murong Yuntian’s engagement banquet was still going on. After talking to Mo Yuanbu, Yun Feng planned to say goodbye. Her ancestor would definitely be delighted to see Senior Mo. Thinking of that wisp of soul that could dissipate in this world at any time, she thought that he really didn’t have any regrets seeing Senior Mo.
As soon as Yun Feng went out, Murong Yuntian was standing there. Even though he quit just then, he never left. Seeing Yun Feng come out, he chuckled. Yun Feng said, “Thank you.” If it weren’t for Murong Yuntian’s recommendation, she would probably have really missed Senior Mo.
“I didn’t expect you to know Senior.” Murong Yuntian smiled in embarra.s.sment. “No wonder Senior looked like he already knew your name after hearing it. He even took the initiative to ask me to bring you here to meet you. I guess you’re best friends with the Yun family.”
Yun Feng nodded. The friends.h.i.+p between Senior Mo and her ancestor, Yun Lan, had lasted for so long. The two of them had suffered together along the way back then. They experienced a lot of things together. Thinking of her friends along the way, Yun Feng chuckled softly. Hadn’t she always been lucky?
“Murong Yuntian, so you’re here.” A voice sounded, sounding very cold and without any heat at all. Yun Feng looked up and saw a figure walking over from the corner. When the two of them looked at each other, Yun Feng was stunned! The other party was also stunned!
“Shang Rui?” Yun Feng was surprised. Shang Rui was also stunned to see Yun Feng. “You’re really here? I thought Murong Yuntian was just kidding.”
Murong Yuntian stood there a bit awkwardly. Yun Feng looked at him and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Was Murong Yuntian engaged to… Shang Rui?
“Go to the front,” said Shang Rui to Murong Yuntian casually. Murong Yuntian nodded. He glanced at Yun Feng and turned around to leave. After Murong Yuntian left, Shang Rui chuckled. Yun Feng also smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be engaged to him.”
Shang Rui said, “It doesn’t matter to me who I get engaged to. It’s just that Murong Yuntian is a bit better.”
Seeing Shang Rui’s att.i.tude, Yun Feng understood that the two of them weren’t together because of love. Shang Rui looked at Yun Feng. “I heard from Murong Yuntian that you and Qu Lanyi are already married?”
Yun Feng was slightly stunned. Shang Rui chuckled. “If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have given up so easily and decided on the engagement in a hurry.”
Yun Feng frowned. Shang Rui shook her head. “It’s not your fault that he’s like this. He has such a status in the Fengyun Empire. If he stays single, he’ll have trouble that he can’t get rid of. It’s good for him to start a family as soon as possible.”
The two of them found a place to sit down. Yun Feng looked at Shang Rui’s indifferent expression. “If you don’t like him, can you still be with him?”
Shang Rui smiled indifferently. “As I said, it’s the same for me. There’s no such thing as feelings between us. As the daughter of the Shang family, I’m responsible enough to rope in such a son-in-law for the Shang family. And Murong Yuntian wants a woman who won’t interfere with his life.”
Yun Feng frowned. How would such a marriage be blissful?
Shang Rui smiled lightly. “Some people don’t get together to make each other happy, but for a lot of common interests.” Shang Rui smiled with her black eyes. “Do you think everyone is as lucky as you to be able to love each other for the rest of their lives?”
Yun Feng was stunned. “You sound like you’re teasing me.”
Shang Rui smiled happily. “Yes. I rarely have a chance to tease you, so I certainly can’t let it go.”
Yun Feng was helpless. Her meeting with Shang Rui back then wasn’t pleasant. It wasn’t until she came to the Pharmaceutical Inst.i.tute that the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them improved a lot unknowingly. Shang Rui was also obviously much more mature. It was truly rare for the two of them to talk so calmly right now.
Yun Feng chuckled. There weren’t many people who could tease her. Shang Rui was one of them. Even though the difference between the two of them was huge, Shang Rui didn’t speak very politely and respectfully.
“It’s been so long. I heard that your pharmaceutical skills have already reached the Grandmaster Level.” Shang Rui looked at Yun Feng and chuckled. “How unwilling do you want others to be? They can’t catch up no matter how hard they try.”
“The Grandmaster Level isn’t as difficult as I thought. As long as you work hard, you’ll be able to reach it one day.”
Shang Rui pursed her lips. “I didn’t know about Mu City until I came back from the Pharmaceutical Inst.i.tute. The De family and the Shang family did something wrong. It’s natural for you to be angry.”
Yun Feng smiled gently. “As a member of the Shang family, you’re quite reasonable.”
Shang Rui was helpless. “I’ve changed too, okay? I’m not the same as before.”
Yun Feng stood up and pointed ahead. “After all, it’s the engagement banquet. It doesn’t make sense for Murong Yuntian to take everything alone.”
Shang Rui raised her brows and finally stood up. “That’s right. I’ll go ahead right now.”
Yun Feng nodded and was about to turn around and leave, when Shang Rui suddenly called out, “Yun Feng!”
Yun Feng turned around and looked at her. “What’s the matter?”
Shang Rui frowned slightly and asked softly, “What does it feel like to be with someone you love?”
Yun Feng was silent for a few seconds and chuckled. “You’ll understand sooner or later.” After saying that, Yun Feng had already turned around and left. Shang Rui stood there alone. Would she understand sooner or later? She didn’t have a chance anymore. Was she talking about Murong Yuntian? Then, Shang Rui raised the corners of her mouth. It couldn’t be him.
Even though it was an engagement banquet, it was no different from the grand occasion when they would get married. Everyone was here to celebrate. The Shang family was especially proud. After all, Murong Yuntian, their son-in-law, was very satisfactory in every aspect. Shang Rui and Murong Yuntian smiled strictly. Looking carefully, it could be found that the two of them didn’t have much emotional contact. They even had very little physical contact.
The lively engagement banquet soon ended. Qu Lanyi was very surprised that Murong Yuntian was engaged to Shang Rui, but he didn’t say anything. He only congratulated them and said nothing else. After all, it was not his business who Murong Yuntian was engaged to. As long as it wasn’t Xiao Feng, it didn’t matter who it was.
After the engagement banquet ended, Mo Yuanbu told Murong Yuntian that he wanted to go to the headquarters of the Yun family with Yun Feng. Yun Feng told Zhan Li that she was going home. Even though Zhan Li and Murong Yuntian both wanted to go with her, they had their own things to do and couldn’t go together.
