Ruan Yu responded with a sound, the corners of his lips curling into a hint of a mocking smile. "What does General Ye Guanmei's wife want from me?"
Xia Yixiang smiled slightly, her delicate and fair skin revealing a trace of hatred in her eyes. She gracefully sat down, holding a transparent goblet, took a light sip, then set it down and gazed at Ruan Yu. "Ruan Shaoshuai is in the northwest and probably doesn't know about the grievances between us. I was originally promised to be a concubine for Shangguan Shaoyi, but after an incident with Cheng Mosu, I was driven out by the Shangguan family. Tell me, should I take revenge for this?"
"Your revenge has nothing to do with me," he coldly turned away, his lips pressed into a line.
Xia Yixiang still refused to leave, smiling as she said, "Of course it concerns you. Cheng Mosu was once your wife, wasn't she? Shouldn't you avenge the betrayal? If our two families, the Ye and Ruan families, join forces, we could surely put Shangguan Shaoyi to death. What do you think?"
"What benefits would I gain from this?" He narrowed his eyes and stared directly at her, the dazzling light shining on him dispelling the shadows of malice and violence. He curled his lips into a smile that seemed genuinely interested.
Seeing that there was potential in this matter, Xia Yixiang moved closer to him. "Once we eliminate Shangguan Shaoyi, Cheng Mosu will be alone. Ruan Shaoshuai can then do as he pleases."
Ruan Yu let out a soft scoff, his eyes changing color in an instant as suppressed malice suddenly erupted. "Lady Ye, I think you are mistaken. My wife resembles Consort Shangguan somewhat, but they are not the same person. I was driven out of the northwest by my brother and am now separated from my wife. Please understand and do not confuse them."
"So you're willing to watch these two continue living like this?" Xia Yixiang saw him getting up to leave and hurriedly called out to his tall figure.
Ruan Yu turned his handsome face slightly; half of it was shrouded in darkness, his gaze filled with malice. "If you dare speak recklessly again, not just you but even your husband, I wouldn't hesitate to kill."
Xia Yixiang was frightened by his fierce gaze and clutched the back of her chair with her left hand over her heart, looking around for signs of Shangguan Shaoyi and Cheng Mosu but could not find them.
The moonlight was beautiful; in front of Ezhou's largest hotel lay a bright red carpet laid out to welcome their distinguished guests. Though it was autumn night and slightly chilly, the orchids were blooming perfectly, filling the air with a rich floral fragrance that lingered sweetly at the tip of one's nose. Cheng Mosu had her arm linked with Shangguan Shaoyi's as they walked quietly together, leaves falling onto their shoulders while starlight and moonlight cast shadows around them.
Shangguan Shaoyi looked at her gentle profile and smiled lightly. Noticing she remained silent, he asked, "Cheng Mosu, what are you thinking about?"
She came back to her senses, her Water-colored Eyes filled with astonishment, and lightly parted her Rose-Colored Lips, "Shaoyi, did you see that General Ye Guanmei's wife? It seems to be Xia Yixiang?"
He frowned slightly; he had been focused on his own wife and had no time to look at other women. He shook his head unconsciously. Seeing Cheng Mosu's worried expression, he wrapped his arm around her slender shoulders, his deep gaze revealing tenderness. "What do we care about her? She's just a passerby in our lives. Why are you worried?"
Her cheeks flushed, resembling colorful clouds at dusk, and she said softly, "I suppose I was overthinking it. It's just that she swore when leaving the Shangguan Family..."
"Now that she is married to Ye Guanmei, it's a beautiful union. If she's wise, she won't seek any trouble. If she does, I'll make sure she and her husband disappear forever." His voice was calm, but his words carried weight. Cheng Mosu was momentarily taken aback, and her Water-colored Eyes shone with unspoken light. He lowered his gaze to her, tightening his embrace a little more, leaning close to her ear. "Cheng Mosu, don't worry; no one will disturb our life anymore."
Cheng Mosu's originally tranquil Eyes gradually brightened. She gently nestled into Shangguan Shaoyi's arms as music flowed from Inside the House. She looked at the shadow cast by the moonlight on the ground and smiled lightly, "Let's go inside; this banquet is for you. How can you be absent?"
"Who cares about the banquet?" He picked her up effortlessly and looked into her sparkling eyes filled with Joy. "Let's go home!"
She leaned against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. Her brows danced lightly, and a faint color adorned her snowy complexion. He held her tightly, feeling that she had become even lighter in his arms; the delicate beauty between her brows held too much fragility that made one want to cherish her. He helped her into the car and carried her out again without letting her touch a speck of dust, heading straight through the door. She trembled slightly with her delicate Eyelashes fluttering and couldn't help but redden her eyes.
"Shaoyi..." Her soft murmur ignited a warmth in his heart; his Eyes were filled with restlessness as he held her tightly against the soft bed. Responding gently to her whispers, his dry and warm lips brushed against her forehead, then her lips, and finally her neck.
A sudden noise outside broke the romantic atmosphere. He slowly got up and looked at her lovely Countenance blushing to the roots of her ears, feeling a bit better as he stepped out the door. "Feng Yin, is something wrong?"
"Naturally." Feng Yin lowered his gaze, not daring to glance into the room, knowing he had interrupted their sweetness but felt it was important to discuss something with him. Shangguan Shaoyi nodded, closed the door behind him, reached out to smooth Cheng Mosu's disheveled hair at her waist, smiled gently, and said, "I'll be right back."
Cheng Mosu shot him a playful glance; the chaotic feelings in her heart slowly rippled as she gazed into his Eyes shimmering like water patterns. He smiled silently and affectionately kissed the corner of her Rose-Colored Lips before turning to follow Feng Yin out.
Upon arriving at the Parlor, he found Zhang's Deputy looking serious as he took out an urgent telegram.
"Young Commander, the Japanese Army has captured New South City. New South has fallen, and the government has been forced to relocate."
He tightened his dark pupils, a cold light radiating from his eyes. "How are they, Commander?"
"Yes, General Jiang and the others have taken a special flight and are now on their way to Yuzhou. They will arrive soon. The actions of the Japanese Army in New South City are simply horrific. I..." He sighed, unable to continue. Shangguan Shaoyi furrowed his brow; he didn't need Zhang's Deputy to tell him what the Japanese Army would do. It was the common people who would suffer.
Zhang's Deputy stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Therefore, I kindly request that Young Commander personally go to Yuzhou to welcome and protect General Jiang!”
