Chapter 303: Jealous

First of all, she was very pleased with the way Muyang was including himself in the family. He kept saying, ’we and ’us’’ which brought a smile to her face. This clearly meant that he fully accepted her family as his. She was happy because he was protecting them just as much as he protected her.

If it had not been for him, she would not have known that her mother was suffering again at the hands of that wicked woman.

However, it was Christmas and she did not want to spend her Christmas worrying about what may or may not happen. She was incredibly grateful for his heads up, in case the Wang’s showed up she would give her brothers a heads up so that they did not simply jump into their arms and offer everything up to them on a silver platter.

Besides, there was no conclusive evidence that the Wang’s were related to her mother. If the DNA results were here she would know but right now, she was operating on theories.

Until she had concrete evidence, she was putting it in the back of her mind for now and planning to enjoy herself.

"Come on, we should go down, I am sure people are beginning to wonder where we are right now." she took his hand with the intention of leading him out of the bedroom.

She stood up first and tried to pull him up but he pulled her back and she fell onto his body and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What are you doing?" she asked him with some bit of laughter at his playfulness.

"Enjoying the last bit of our private time before we have to put on polite smiles and look charming for the next few hours. It’s going to be very tiring smiling and saying, ’it’s so nice to see you, how have you been. Tell me about your many children and grandchildren." he was speaking in sonorous tone which was unlike him.

She smiled at his silliness; he seemed as if he was heading into battle.

"You don’t like parties do you?" she asked.

"I dread them." He answered.

She stole a kiss from his lips quickly.

"What was that for?" he asked, "Not that I did not like it. You should do it as often as possible as a matter of fact."

She was looking at him with a tender grin on her face, staring at him as if he was the reason the sun shone for her every morning. In her eyes, was all her love for him.

"You are doing something you hate because of me. How can I not adore you?" she responded.

Muyang’s cheeks turned slightly red, like a tomato which was just beginning to ripen. That tender look in her eyes was doing things to his heart like making it beat fast and making him want to just hold her tightly and kiss her until they both run out air.

"Now I really don’t want to go to the party, let’s just stay up here and be bad." He buried his head in her neck and said.

"Absolutely not, get up. I have to deliver your daughter’s Christmas party dress." She told him.

At the mention of his little princess, he let go of her reluctantly and they left the room hand in hand. In her other hand was the dress.

Downstairs, she gave the dress to Qi Qing and told her to change Mei-Mei.

"It’s a red dress, just like yours." Muyang noted. "I am surprised little monk and I do not have matching outfits today. Did you run out of inventory?" he asked with a small smile on his face.

"These were delivered by Chian Ximeng; she came to me with a business proposal today. Apparently I have become quite the trend setter." She said proudly.

"Ctar luxury." He said.

"Uh-huh." She replied.

"She is different from her brothers, hardworking and willing to take risks. If she has seen the potential in you then she is an even better business woman than I thought." he said.

Chi Lian stopped moving, she remembered T4 telling her that Muyang should stay away from Ximeng.

"Do you know her personally?" she asked tentatively, not wanting to appear jealous but her heart was slightly uncomfortable.

"We went to the same school and I have met her once or twice at a business party. Other than that, I don’t know her personally."

Secretly, she sighed in relief, it did not seem like he was connected to her in any way that should worry her.

"Has she ever had a crush on you?" she asked him suddenly.

Muyang stopped moving and he looked down at her with amusement in his eyes. "You sound jealous." He said.

"No I am not." She denied, quite loudly.

And that’s how they made their magnificent entrance into the very large parlor where most of their guests were gathered.

Her loud denial of course had everyone looking at them. She was feeling quite embarrassed about it.

"See what you have done." She hissed at him softly.

"What did I do?" he asked.

Their small back and forth looked quite intimate, in the eyes of everyone the couple was in love and probably whispering sweet nothings.

"You two, stop it." Chi Wei who was nearest to them said softly. "You are going to embarrass yourselves, save the lovey dovey stuff for when you are alone."

She untangled her hand from Muyang’s and they went around the room separately to interact and greet the different gusts. Chi Lian who had not been in the room when the guests arrived went to the greet the Grand emperor and queen dowager first.

"Chi-Chi, you look so beautiful." The queen dowager said. "I want to know where you got those sandals from because I need a pair."

"Yes, the sandals are simply too beautiful." The old madam who was sitting next to the queen dowager added.

The grand emperor lost interest in their conversation immediately. It was not as if he could discuss sandals with them.

"Let me introduce you to the other madams here." The old madam said eagerly.

She took her around the room, introducing her to the women who complimented her skin, hair, dress and shoes.

Being a social butterfly, she did not hesitate to engage the women in a conversation about beauty products immediately. She did not forget to promote her spa which she told them would have their skins bright and glowing like hers.

"Host, the super rice we planted from the seeds the emperor provided is ready for harvesting. Since you are having a party perhaps you should cook some and see if the quality is excellent. I am afraid it has mutated." T4 announced suddenly.

"And you have a new mission." He added.
