Chapter 832: Chapter 829: Thunderous Counterattack 9
"So I need to eat more tonight."
Spicy beef, sour plum soup, Yan Xixi ate to her heart’s content.
When she got home, it was not yet seven o’clock.
A cool breeze, a cup of tea, the sunset was still circling under the ancient banyan tree.
Liu Daqing sighed deeply: "Ah, you’re leaving tomorrow, I won’t be able to enjoy this kind of luxury anymore."
"Empress Dowager, you can have someone else take you."
"Someone else? Forget it, they don’t suit me. Xixi, I’ll wait for you to come back during winter break."
Winter break!!
She didn’t answer immediately. Winter break, how far away it seemed.
"Xixi, it’s settled then, as soon as winter break starts, you must come home right away. Otherwise, how lonely will I be? I’m still waiting for you to take me to other places to eat. Otherwise, who would care about an old lady like me? Xixi, you must remember, I’m always waiting for you..."
Liu Empress Dowager, this was clearly a promise, she understood.
If she really wanted to go, would there be a shortage of people willing to accompany her when Liu Empress Dowager spoke?
Yan Xixi grinned and joked without a care in the world.
Liu Daqing was amused and laughed heartily.
Yan Xixi’s face lit up: "Empress Dowager, wait, I’ll make you some coffee."
"Alright."
Her graceful figure disappeared into the house, and Liu Daqing sighed quietly.
Wan Donglin hadn’t been home for several days, his gossip with Rina was spreading everywhere, rumors of a shotgun wedding, a flash marriage, marrying into a wealthy family, so loving...
Even though Liu Daqing knew inside, it still made her anxious.
She took out her phone, and another news alert popped up. At a glance, her scalp tingled. It was about a charity auction tonight, where Wan Donglin spent a fortune to buy a Song Dynasty vase for Rina. The photo was clear, Rina holding Wan Donglin’s arm and smiling brightly. The news also stated that Rina was pregnant, elevated by her son, and Wan Donglin was going out of his way to please her, buying such an expensive vase just to win the beauty’s smile.
Why choose tonight of all nights???
Liu Daqing thought to herself, Yan Xixi must have seen all these news articles.
But this girl kept her composure, she wasn’t flustered at all, she didn’t even show a hint of displeasure.
Despite Wan Donglin being absent for days, she said nothing about it.
Just like tonight, on the eve of her departure, Wan Donglin was at the auction with another woman, buying such an extravagant gift—even if it was unavoidable, what woman could endure such a scene?
But Yan Xixi didn’t react.
She kept her lips sealed, not a word about the gossip.
She continued to entertain with lively conversation.
Could she really keep her composure so well?
Poor girl, even Liu Daqing couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.
