Chapter 712: What’s Important Is What I Can Do For You (3)
“I was wondering where you were going. So, you came here.” A cold voice came from the door. Yun Feng looked up and saw a tall figure walking in. She couldn’t see his expression under the light. Murong Yuntian stood up and nodded at the person who walked in.
The man who walked in nodded at Murong Yuntian politely and strode to Yun Feng, creating a gust of wind. Then, he sat down next to her. Although nothing could be seen on Qu Lanyi’s handsome face, there was obvious displeasure in his eyes.
Murong Yuntian sat down and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere fell into a subtle state again. The discomfort he felt just then surged throughout his body again. Yun Feng moved her body. Yun Qingchen in her arms looked at Qu Lanyi with his big eyes, wondering who he was.
“Are you feeling better?” asked Qu Lanyi in a low voice. Yun Feng nodded. “More or less. I’m fine now.” She raised her head and looked at Murong Yuntian. Murong Yuntian didn’t expect Yun Feng to look at him. His facial features were a bit stiff. “You said it’s one of the reasons. What are the others?”
They continued what they were talking about just then. Murong Yuntian smiled lightly and didn’t say anything. However, Qu Lanyi slowly picked up a strand of Yun Feng’s black hair with his finger and twined it around it. He then looked at the black hair falling from his finger. “Secondly, it’s for his fiancée.”
Murong Yuntian’s jaw tightened. Yun Feng was stunned. “Fiancée? You’re getting married?” It was a simple question without any feelings. Murong Yuntian nodded. “Yes, I’m getting married.”
“Who’s the bride?” Yun Feng asked. Murong Yuntian choked. Qu Lanyi chuckled. “You’re no stranger to this bride, Helian Fu.”
Yun Feng narrowed her black eyes. Helian Fu? Didn’t the Helian family try their best to give her to her brother? How did she become Murong Yuntian’s fiancée? “Ah, those two troublesome women have also come to the Yun family. They’ve been here for a few days,” said Qu Lanyi casually as she looked at Murong Yuntian. “Why don’t you get married here?”
Yun Feng nudged Qu Lanyi with her arm. Qu Lanyi raised her brows. Murong Yuntian chuckled. “You’re right. It’s time for the marriage.”
“Wait! What’s going on? Why did you get involved with the Helian family?” Yun Feng’s tone was a bit cold. She knew very well what kind of family the Helian family was. They were like parasites. Whoever provoked them would be swallowed by this family in the future! Murong Yuntian had always been on the East Continent. How would he not know what the Helian family was like? Why did he have to jump into this fire pit?
Qu Lanyi didn’t say anything else. She looked at Yun Qingchen in Yun Feng’s arms. The two of them looked at each other with their beautiful eyes, which were emitting sparks.
Murong Yuntian didn’t say anything. After a while, he stood up. “I’ll leave first.” Without saying anything, he pushed the door and walked out. Yun Feng’s question was still there. She didn’t get any answer. Yun Feng frowned. Murong Yuntian, what exactly are you thinking?
“Should I be glad that you have a one-track mind?” A pair of arms gently wrapped around Yun Feng’s body. Qu Lanyi held Yun Feng in his arms. Yun Qingchen’s body moved. Yun Feng quickly held the little girl tighter.
“What did you say?” Yun Feng looked back at him suspiciously. Helplessness flashed in Qu Lanyi’s eyes. “Nothing, nothing.”
That night, the sky above the Mu family was bright and there were few stars. A few important guests were still here. Yun Feng didn’t appear in front of everyone, but the members of the Mu family knew that Yun Feng was back. However, the mother and daughter of the Helian family obviously didn’t know, because the two of them locked themselves in their room all day and nobody knew what they were doing.
Murong Yuntian sat on the stone bench in the yard arranged by the Mu family and looked up at the bright stars in the sky. The side of his face was covered with a layer of hazy light and a gust of wind blew. Murong Yuntian looked at the girl who appeared next to him with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
“You should know what the Helian family is like. If you encounter any difficulties, I’ll help.” Yun Feng sat on the side. The deal between the Yun family and the Murong family was just a verbal engagement. Yun Feng had the same intention when the Murong family canceled the engagement back then. She didn’t have much hostility towards Murong Yuntian. After all, Murong Yuntian and the Murong family weren’t the same. If the Murong family needed help, Yun Feng would offer it for Murong Yuntian’s sake.
Murong Yuntian didn’t say anything. Yun Feng frowned. “Murong Yuntian, do you have to get involved in this?”
Murong Yuntian smiled again and slowly raised his eyes. “Yun Feng, I proposed this marriage myself.”
“In person? What do you mean?” Yun Feng was extremely shocked when she heard this. Did Murong Yuntian like Helian Fu? Was that why he had to propose this marriage in person? Thinking of the day she met Helian Fu, Yun Feng frowned again. He liked that kind of woman? That was truly…
“If you brought it up yourself, it’s not my place to say anything.” Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth and was skeptical about Murong Yuntian’s taste. “Helian and his daughter haven’t given up on the Yun family. You… can accept this?”
Murong Yuntian was stunned. He knew that Yun Feng misunderstood something. He smiled wryly and didn’t tell the truth. “Whether they give up or not, Helian Fu must marry me.”
Yun Feng nodded. “If you insist, then… I wish you happiness.”
A glint of darkness flashed through Murong Yuntian’s eyes. The girl had already got up indifferently and was about to leave. Murong Yuntian couldn’t control the surging emotions in his heart. He grabbed the girl’s slender wrist with his fair hand. Yun Feng slowly turned around. “What’s the matter?”
Murong Yuntian held Yun Feng’s wrist gently and felt that his heart was burning. His throat became inexplicably dry and his voice was already hoarse. “Are you alright?”
The girl put on a faint smile after hearing that. The moonlight shone down and smeared on the girl’s lips. “Very good.” The burning place in Murong Yuntian’s heart suddenly calmed down and a faint warmth flowed throughout his body. He slowly loosened his hand, leaving the fresh fragrance lingering on his fingertips.
“If you’re in trouble, I’ll help you,” Yun Feng repeated. Murong Yuntian smiled brightly. “I’ll remember this.”
Yun Feng suddenly felt that she seemed to have missed something. Some things were buried deep in Murong Yuntian’s eyes that she couldn’t see clearly. Murong Yuntian smiled at Yun Feng. “Go back. The night breeze is cold.”
