Chapter 118: Chapter 118 She Must Die!_1

After Weng Lanlan gave birth to her son Ning Ziyi, the innocent smile that blossomed on the newborn Ning Ziyi’s little face seemed to heal the fear and terror in her heart.

From then on, Weng Lanlan devoted all her spirit and energy to this son, becoming indifferent to other people and affairs.

When Ning Changxiu followed Ning Fengyi’s gaze towards Weng Lanlan, she disdainfully curled her lip.

She too had little regard for this niece-in-law, who always carried an expression as if someone owed her millions, cold and indifferent towards their elders, causing just the sight of her to be nauseating.

She knew her own daughter was born with a phoenix’s destiny, and everyone was bending over backwards to please Fengyi, wishing to present her with anything she desired. And yet, Weng Lanlan, her mother, couldn’t care less about her daughter, which was infuriating to watch.

If it weren’t for Ning Yu’s refusal to divorce, she would have really liked to exchange this stupid and clumsy niece-in-law for someone else, just to avoid the displeasure of seeing her.

Ning Changxiu deeply understood Ning Fengyi’s resentment and helplessness towards her mother.

She gently patted Ning Fengyi’s hand and whispered to her, "Fengyi, don’t be sad. If she doesn’t cherish you, we all do."

Ning Fengyi nodded and gave Ning Changxiu a pitiful smile, "I know, Auntie, thank you all for loving and cherishing me so much. If my mother doesn’t like me, in the future, I can only rely on you."

Her tearful appearance once again tugged at Ning Changxiu’s heartstrings, and, incidentally, her contempt and disdain for Weng Lanlan grew, considering her ungrateful.

Suddenly, Ning Changxiu thought of the eldest young master from the Dugu Family and quietly asked Ning Fengyi, "Fengyi, have you seen that Dugu young master? I’ve heard he’s very handsome, is it true?"

Speaking of the Dugu Family’s eldest young master, Ning Fengyi once again put on a mournful face and shook her head, "I also heard that the Dugu young master is very handsome, and that any girl who sees him would be charmed. Unfortunately, I’ve never met him. I was planning to impress him at his coming-of-age celebration, but unexpectedly, that Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, this damned vixen. I really want to strangle her!"

Ning Changxiu saw that Ning Fengyi’s face was filled with ferocity and murderous intent at the end and felt that this niece was still too young, unable to control her expressions.

Ning Changxiu hurriedly interrupted her, "Child, you cannot speak so recklessly in public. If someone overheard you, you wouldn’t fare well. Even if you really want to do it, you must do it discreetly, without showing any sign, understand?"

Ning Fengyi’s eyes darted, and she immediately smiled, "Auntie is right, I understand."

Seeing her obedient response, Ning Changxiu said with a relieved face, "As long as you understand. I always knew you were a smart child, bound for a great future."

Ning Fengyi replied with a shy smile, "Auntie, you flatter me."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the depths of her eyes.

No matter who it was, if they wanted to compete with her for Dugu Zixi, she was willing to take their life!!!

Shen Tianxing, who was cooking at home, suddenly sneezed, feeling a chill run through her, a sense of danger immediately alerting her mind. Her hand cooking the food paused for a moment as a coldness settled in her eyes.

The last time, the Wei Family who wanted to deal with her had been thoroughly ruined.

This time, she wondered which fool looking for death had set their sights on her?

Whoever it was that wanted to take her life would only meet with death!

In the blink of an eye, another week passed, leaving just one more week until the engagement day of Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen, along with other members of the Shen family, had their custom-made gowns delivered one after another.

Only Shen Tianxing’s antique-style gown, because of its intricate craftsmanship, was still being made in a rush.

Shen Tianxing wasn’t worried at all, she believed in the Dugu family’s team. Unless they didn’t want their jobs, they would surely make it on time even if it meant working tirelessly round the clock.

This was an opportunity for them to shine in front of their master. If they did well, Dugu Zixi would not let their efforts go unrewarded, and a hefty bonus was definitely in store for them.

Indeed, as Shen Tianxing had expected, her gown arrived three days before the engagement banquet.

Shen Tianxing, looking at the exquisite and beautiful gown in front of her, was so fond of it that she couldn’t bear to let go.

The gown had a light purple base, and it was designed by her and Dugu Zixi together.

The bodice featured a V-neckline, adorned with hand-embroidered flowers that bloomed across it in beauty.

Purple chiffon draped from both arms, billowing with movement and grace, giving off an ethereal and enchanting presence.

A dark purple corset cinched her waist adorned with dazzling diamonds that highlighted her slender figure as if it were too delicate to hold.

The floor-length skirt, fully embedded with tiny diamonds, spread out like the starry night sky, shimmering with dazzling brilliance, extremely beautiful.

When Dugu Zixi got his hands on this evening gown, he immediately asked Shen Tianxing to try it on for him to see.

When Shen Tianxing walked out wearing the evening gown, looking like a fairy descended from heaven, even Dugu Zixi found himself mesmerized.

Seeing him utterly enchanted and lost for words, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but laugh as she walked forward, waving her hand in front of him, "Hey, my fiancé dear, snap out of it."

Dugu Zixi then came back to his senses, and the next moment, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly, his voice slightly hoarse, "My Little Xingxing, you’re so beautiful! So beautiful I don’t want to let you go out!"

Shen Tianxing chuckled softly, "You see beauty because of love, others might not think the same."

Dugu Zixi looked into her clear and lustrous face, sighing lightly, "Who said that? You think others are blind? Can’t they see your beauty?"

Shen Tianxing laughed, "Looking good gives you face, doesn’t it? That’s something good! Besides, you’re also very good-looking, so should I hide you away from other women too?"

Dugu Zixi asserted proudly, "Don’t even mention it. To this day, aside from my relatives, very few women have seen me."

Shen Tianxing, remembering how Dugu Zixi stayed at home due to illness in the past, couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of pity for him.

But thinking about how he would soon enter the public eye after his coming-of-age ceremony, she realized that even if Dugu Zixi wanted to keep a low profile, it probably wouldn’t be possible.

By then, those daughters of wealthy families in the Capital City would likely be swept off their feet by his extraordinary charm and looks, wouldn’t they?

Both seemed to have come to a mutual understanding and couldn’t help but exchange smiles.

Dugu Zixi was also aware that, given his status and position in life, he had an excuse to stay indoors before due to his illness.
