572: She Felt Extremely Gratified

She Felt Extremely Gratified

Looking at her resolute expression, Chen Yichen knew that the girl in front of him was destined to be extraordinary in the future.0

In the end, he didn't bother to say the words that were at the tip of his tongue, attempting to dissuade her from rash actions.

Since she was destined to be extraordinary, he knew he shouldn't stop her from growing.

As long as it was something that she thought was right, he was willing to respect her wishes.

He was a man, so he understood how men thought.

Since Young Marshal Mu was willing to let her step into such a bloody and dangerous world, it meant that he also respected her choices.

At the gates of the villa complex, Chen Yichen stopped the car and turned to look at the person in the passenger seat. "I heard that your mother is back, and your aunt from the countryside is here also?"

Yun Xi nodded. "Yes."

"You haven't suffered any grievances, have you?"

"Why? This is my house. I'm the host, and she's the guest. She better not dare to offend me." Yun Xi chuckled lightly. "Don't worry about me. She's preoccupied with my mother. I found someone to keep fighting with my mother. They're busy scheming against each other, so there's no time to deal with me."

"That's good! Be careful, and come to our home for a meal when you have time. Grandma went to Wutai Mountain, but now she's back. She said that she missed you very much."

"Okay, I'll find the time to go and chat."

After pushing the car door open, Yun Xi stood outside the door and pointed to the prescription that she had given him. "Drink plenty of water, and don't work too hard. Work is important, but your health is more important."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Holding the steering wheel, Chen Yichen was about to leave. Suddenly thinking of something, he leaned over and called out to Yun Xi.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Yun Xi stopped and turned her head.

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. What kind of New Year gift do you want?"

Yun Xi froze, then she smiled, and said, "Do I need to give gifts during the Spring Festival in Kyoto?"

"This is your first Spring Festival since you've come back to Jingdu. It's a must."

"Then...send the most traditional gift."

No matter what, when giving gifts during the Spring Festival, everyone needs to return a gift anyway, so she'll just return a gift when the time comes, lest she has to worry about owing favors.

"The most traditional gift?" Chen Yichen pondered about it for a moment. His handsome face showed faint hints of mirth. "Red envelopes?"

He'd wanted to spoil her, but she'd refused so tactfully. He knew that she didn't want to take advantage of his kindness and didn't want him to be used by her dad.

Her sensibility and consideration made him feel distressed and helpless.

"It's okay. Go home early to rest and drive carefully."

Whatever he sent would be a gesture of goodwill, and she would just respond accordingly.

Most importantly, during such a holiday, she didn't want Yun Yuanfeng to regard him as a tool for his social climbing.

Back at the Yun family's house, Yun Xi unexpectedly saw Liang Xiuqin and Chen Lixue sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The two of them were glaring at each other. The atmosphere was unusually harmonious, but Yun Xi felt that something weird was going on.

Yun Xi glanced at her second aunt, who was just coming out of the kitchen, and when she saw that she nodded, she knew that the prey had been hooked on the plan that she had been constructing for so long.

"Mom, Aunt, since you two are both here today, do you have something to tell me?"

Liang Xiuqin turned and glanced at her and then snorted coldly. Her contemptuous tone was uncomfortable to listen to.

"Why have you come back so late? Ziling and the others have come home from school long ago. Where have you been? You're always up to no good. Who knows what you'll be like after you grow up."

Yun Xi tugged at the corners of her mouth. Her mother was finding fault with her because she was unhappy herself, but Yun Xi felt extremely gratified.

"The Eldest Heir invited me out for a meal today. I called home. Didn't the housekeeper tell you anything?"

The housekeeper spoke up. "I told her second aunt that the young madame wasn't coming back for dinner. Now that second aunt is in charge, of course she should be told about family matters first. Is there a problem?"

The housekeeper said this to Liang Xiuqin. With the second aunt as her backer, she wasn't afraid of Liang Xiuqin's brazen arrogance.
