Chapter 27 A Sachet for You!

Yan Bolai had black eyebrows, big eyes, and a long face. He looked dignified even if he was not angry. When he looked at people with fierce eyes, it would cause them to breathe rapidly like a heavy boulder was on their chests.

Even if he was his son, Yan Xiangma could not bear such a thundering feeling.

He lowered his head, playing with the spoon in his hand and avoiding his father’s gaze. “He is the one who saved Xiaoxin in the Beast-Faced Pavilion last time. The doctor who treated him was arranged by our family. I’ve asked someone to check on him. His name is Li Muyang, Xiaoxin’s classmate. Xiaoxin is so kind that she felt that she owed him a lot, so she wants to help him with his homework,” he said.

“He saved Xiaoxin?” Yan Bolai’s face became more somber. “Did you find out his background?” he asked.

“He is clean. His family has been living in Jiangnan City for more than a decade. It’s impossible for him to be a spy. More than a decade ago, Xiaoxin was not in Jiangnan City. Even the Cui family didn’t intend to send her here,” Yan Xiangma said.

“Don’t be careless.” Yan Bolai’s eyes became softer. He looked at his son, Yan Xiangma. “Xiaoxin is a big girl now. I am afraid that some people with ulterior motives will deliberately approach her. If she can’t handle it well, it will be another great disaster. Capital Heaven has not been peaceful recently. The Cui family wants to make an alliance with the Song family. Xiaoxin grew up together with Song Tingyun, who is known as the ‘jade of the Song family’. Therefore, the two families intend to make the two of them a couple. I am afraid they will put this on the agenda after Xiaoxin is back. At this time, nothing should happen,” he said.

“Xiaoxin is going to get engaged to Song Tingyun?” Cui Xinci looked surprised and said, “How come I didn’t get any news about such a big thing?”

“It’s still in progress, and whether they reach an agreement or not depends on the two old men’s attitude. The old master of the Song family, who is rumored to be over 100 years old, has been suffering from an old illness recently and his health condition is said to be very poor. I’m afraid it’s still unknown whether he can survive this winter. In this case, the Song family also needs strong support to help them overcome the loss brought by the old master’s death. I’m afraid they will value this marriage more.”

“Song Tingyun has the title of the ‘jade of the Song family’, and his appearance and temperament are impeccable. He is also the first expert among the younger generation who has entered the Floating Cloud Realm as well as one of the most valued young people in the empire. If Xiaoxin is really going to marry him, it is not a grievance,” Cui Xinci said with a smile. She was very happy that her niece could find such a good husband. “However, shouldn’t this kind of thing be discussed with Xiaoxin? She looks gentle but has an obstinate temper. If she really likes someone, I’m afraid that my brother and sister-in-law can’t do anything about it.”

Yan Bolai came to look at his beloved wife. A rare smile appeared on his face as he said, “That’s your family’s business. As an outsider, I can’t make the decision. Why don’t you ask your family?”

“If you can’t make the decision, can I? I’m afraid as a married daughter, I’m even less important than you. After all, you are the owner of Jiangnan City. They have to take care of your face.”

Yan Bolai knew his wife’s straightforward character, so he shook his head with a smile. “Xiaoxin’s marriage needs to be dealt with properly, even if there is a little flame, we have to put it out in time. Otherwise, we will have no way to deal with it when it becomes a prairie fire,” he said.

“Don’t worry, Father. I will handle it well,” Yan Xiangma respectfully answered.

Yan Bolai nodded and said, “Take your time. I’m going to work.”

After that, he pushed the wooden chair away, stood up, and walked outside.

Yan Xiangma sent his father off. When he came back, his mother was sitting in the living room making tea.

Seeing Yan Xiangma coming back, Cui Xinci asked, “Xiangma, have you finished what I told you?”

“Mom, I was just about to tell you about it,” Yan Xiangma smiled bitterly and said. “That boy refused.”

“Refused?” Cui Xinci was shocked. “That box of pearls is priceless, enough for them to live a luxurious life. Plus the Jiangnan University’s admission notice… He is a poor and ugly student, but he is still not satisfied? What does he want?” she said.

“Mom, he’s not good-for-nothing!”

“What’s wrong? He is not a good-for-nothing, so he can demand an exorbitant price?” Cui Xinci was furious. She treated people with sincerity and offered generous conditions, but she didn’t expect the guy to blackmail her. Did he want to die?

Yan Xiangma curled his lip and said, “Mom, if I tell you that he did it because Xiaoxin is his true love, would you believe it?”

“True love?” Cui Xinci chewed on this strange word. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever mentioned such a word as “true love” in front of her.

“True love,” Yan Xiangma nodded seriously and said. “To be honest, I was touched by him. We could promise him that we will marry Xiaoxin to him. I believe that he will sincerely treat her well.”

Clap!

Cui Xinci slapped her son on the head. “Do you still have the mood to make jokes at this time? The reason why I asked you to solve it is to build a good relationship with the child. Anyway, he saved Xiaoxin after all. Our Cui family owes him a favor. If he wants money, we can give him money. If he wants a future, we can also promise him a good future, but he and Xiaoxin are absolutely impossible,” she said angrily.

“Didn’t you hear what your father said just now? He is just a child from an ordinary family. Can he compete with the Cui family? Can he compete with the Song family? Isn’t that self-destruction? If we try to make him and Xiaoxin a couple, we are not helping him, but harming him. Xiangma, you have to find a way to solve this matter quickly. If your father takes action personally, the consequences will be too dire.”

“Mom.” Yan Xiangma stroked his head that had been slapped by his mother. “He’s just a poor boy. Do you need to be so engrossed?” he said doubtfully.

“No matter what, he is an ordinary boy.” Cui Xinci sighed softly. “The children at his age don’t know their limits. It’s not brave but stupid to reach out to pick up the crescent. Go and handle it gently. I don’t want him to have complaints, and I don’t want Xiaoxin to be sad.”

“Mom, that Li Muyang…” Yan Xiangma wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

“What’s wrong with Li Muyang?”

“He’s really dark,” Yan Xiangma said with a smile. “He is like a lump of coal when he is with my cousin.”

Slap!

Yan Xiangma got another slap on his head.

…

…

Li Muyang did not know that he had become a topic of conversation at the Yan family’s breakfast table, and he did not even know that he was involved in the marriage of a huge aristocratic family in Capital Heaven.

He was just happy for the arrival of Cui Xiaoxin, and he felt sweet for the simple look in their eyes.

This was something that he had never been involved in. It was a feeling that he couldn’t get from his sister Li Sinian—his heartbeat sped up.

Love was like candy, sweet but sad.

Li Muyang’s current mood was the same.

When Cui Xiaoxin came over, Li Muyang had already had breakfast and finished two exam sheets for sophomores.

Seeing Cui Xiaoxin coming over, Li Muyang quickly walked over and said with a smile, “Have you had breakfast? Do you want some drinks?”

“Look, the mind of a man without any love experience is bouncy like this.”

“Just give me a cup of tea,” Cui Xiaoxin nodded and said.

“Sit down.” Li Muyang invited Cui Xiaoxin to sit down and then ran to make tea.

Cui Xiaoxin pointed at the bluestone table that they had used to study and asked, “How did the table become like this?”

“Oh, my father accidentally pushed down the table when he was practicing yesterday—so it became like this.” Li Muyang knew that Cui Xiaoxin would ask, so he prepared the answer in advance. See, he had become smart now.

“Oh.” Cui Xiaoxin nodded and said, “Is Uncle Li practicing his swordplay?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Otherwise, how could the cut of this table be so neat?”

“…”

Fortunately, Cui Xiaoxin was not a gossiper and did not put too much attention on that table. She checked the two exam sheets that Li Muyang had finished that morning. “As long as you know the answers to the questions, they are generally correct. Then, let’s talk about the questions you couldn’t answer. For example, which part you don’t understand?” she asked.

“I don’t know how to solve this question at all. I feel like I don’t know where to start.”

“That is because you didn’t listen carefully in class. This question seems to have no clues, and there is no organization in the few calculations that were given out. However, there is a solution that can help you. You just need to apply the solution to it, and you will easily get a satisfactory answer.”

Time flew by when he was with Cui Xiaoxin.

When the sky turned dark, Li Muyang’s parents came home from work. Li Sinian also came back home after school with her schoolbag on her back.

As usual, Cui Xiaoxin stood up again and was going to leave.

Li Muyang couldn’t stop her, so he got up to see her off.

“Are you still coming tomorrow?” Li Muyang said.

“I will.” Cui Xiaoxin brushed the hair in front of her forehead aside, revealing her crystal clear ear on the left side. “Until the night before the exam.”

“Thank you,” Li Muyang said gratefully. He knew that since Yan Xiangma had come to him, Cui Xiaoxin must have been under pressure at home. However, she never mentioned it to him, and continued teaching him.

She was such a woman who could easily make people fall in love with her.

Cui Xiaoxin thought for a moment and took out a silk sachet from her pocket.

“It’s for you.” Cui Xiaoxin handed over the sachet with a smile.

“What’s this?” Li Muyang asked.

“I have asked for two of them.” Cui Xiaoxin’s face turned red. Under the dim moonlight, she was as delicate as a camellia swaying with the wind. “It is said that it could bless us to get good results.”
