Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Zhuang Yan Really Makes Me Feel Strange
Bai Haoxue handed the pair of high heels to Xi Wei, "It must have been sent by Mo Xi."
Xi Wei looked at the high heels, "But these aren’t mine."
"Your pair of high heels are nice, but didn’t you say yesterday that they’re a bit small?"
But just a tiny bit, and since Xi Wei liked them and thought they matched her dress, she wore them anyway.
"Mo Xi really put some thought into it, these high heels match the one-shoulder dress I prepared for you perfectly, and they’re your size.
He probably knows he owes you an apology and sent them to make it up to you."
"Hmph..." Xi Wei was still upset, "I’ll still give him a piece of my mind after the party is over."
"..." Bai Haoxue handed the pink one-shoulder dress to Xi Wei, "Hurry up and change, I need to change too."
"Okay."
Xi Wei and Bai Haoxue took their dresses and started changing clothes.
Once they were changed and came out, they both saw how stunning the other looked.
"Wow, Haoxue, you look absolutely stunning in the qipao! Hanyu definitely won’t want to let you go out looking this beautiful,"
"Yiyi, you’re exaggerating, look at yourself, you’re the pretty one, a spirited Little Fairy."
Xi Wei looked adorable in pink, like an exquisite Barbie doll.
"Hehe... let’s stop flattering each other and head out."
Ji Hanyu was also in the room changing clothes, and once he was done, he sat on the sofa waiting for Bai Haoxue.
However, he seemed to be lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Bei nudged him, bringing Ji Hanyu back to reality.
Ji Hanyu said, "Last night when I was investigating at the Zhuang Family’s place, I didn’t find anything suspicious.
But Zhuang Yan made me feel uneasy, though I can’t quite put my finger on it."
"What about him felt strange to you?" Xiao Bei asked.
Ji Hanyu replied, "Zhuang Yan only ever had one wife, and he was very loyal and devoted to her.
Even though she passed away many years ago, he never remarried, which is quite an anomaly in the circles of prominent families."
To give a distant example, just look at our Ji Family, from great-grandfather to grandfather, and father, each generation was never short on women.
But Zhuang Yan remained very single-minded, which is one reason I still respect him.
"Yet when I casually mentioned his wife while playing chess with him, he seemed very impatient."
"What’s so strange about that? His wife has passed away, he probably doesn’t want to bring up sad memories, it’s quite normal, really."
Ji Hanyu shook his head, "Not wanting to talk about her and being impatient are two different things.
When his wife was mentioned, his expression didn’t show any affection towards a deceased spouse, it was pure impatience, even disgust, like he didn’t want to bring her up at all."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward then, and they ended the chess game hastily.
He was also thinking about going out to find Bai Haoxue, so he didn’t pay much attention at that time.
Later on, he was busy planning with Li Mingmo to capture Number Three, so he hadn’t thought much more about it.
But now, having time to reflect, it really seemed strange to him.
Could the rumors be untrustworthy? Yet Zhuang Yan truly hasn’t remarried or had more children!
He only has that one daughter, Zhuang Yunge.
"I still think it’s nothing," Xiao Bei shook his head, taking his medical kit, "I’m heading back to my room."
