Cai Wei almost burst out laughing!
She stepped back a bit, clearing her nose from the cheap perfume smell.
No wonder her beloved cousin suddenly became so friendly, enthusiastically chatting away.
It turned out that her heart was fluttering like Red Luan Star must be moving!
She was smitten with the man dressed in white fur!
However, it was clear at a glance that the man was not only stunningly handsome but also highly unreachable.
His single white fur alone could sell for thousands of gold.
His attendants were also all extraordinary.
Such an outstanding and high-status man was far from the reach of her cousin, Mu Caiping, a simple village girl with no talent, beauty, or virtues.
Was she thinking too highly of herself?
But these brutal truths, she would never say to her.
Even if she did, her cousin wouldn’t listen and would only think she was trying to harm her and obstruct her chance for a fated marriage!
Seeing Cai Wei only smiling without saying anything, Mu Caiping anxiously hustled while wringing her handkerchief.
“Big Sister, you better say something!”
In the past, she always thought Jiujin was the most handsome man under heaven, with his bushy eyebrows, large eyes, and strong build.
Even though she knew he fancied Cai Wei, she never gave up trying to get closer to him and win his favor.
Only today, when she saw the unmatched young master arriving from the western village, did she realize the truth of the saying that “there are always better people out there, and there’s always the sky beyond the sky.” Jiujin, next to this gentleman, appeared like a contrast between heaven and earth.
This stark comparison caused her years of admiration for Jiujin to disappear instantly, running off to Java.
As the young master draped in white fur leisurely walked among the crowd, everyone and everything else, including the sky and the earth, blurred around him.
It seemed as if he was the only person between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Mu Caiping’s heart fluttered without stop, forgetting all the house rules and the reservation of a young woman, ready to abandon everything to follow him if he slightly beckoned her.
Seeing how eager Mu Caiping was, Cai Wei covered the laughter on her lips and said lightly, “Hehe, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you, as I know nothing about it.”
“How can you not know?
Your house is so close to Jiujin’s house, how is it possible that you don’t know?”
Mu Caiping was getting anxious.
She had been waiting impatiently for such a long time and finally found someone who might have some information about that young master.
How could she let go so easily?
Seeing her flustered cousin, Cai Wei causally said, “Why should I know?
I’m a maiden of good reputation.
How could I dig around for a man’s affairs?
If this gets out, wouldn’t it make people think I’m a shameless and frivolous girl?
The risk is not worth it, I won’t do it!”
Mu Caiping’s face turned red with anger.
She pointed at Cai Wei but could not find the words.
She knew Cai Wei was indirectly criticizing her for being immodest, making fun of her for prying into a man’s affairs.
Yet she could say nothing in response because if others heard them arguing about this, where could she hide her face!
“Did I say something wrong?”
Cai Wei looked at her, smiling in a way that was maddingly infuriating.
“You…You just wait, humph!”
Mu Caiping stomped her foot angrily and stormed away!
After successfully getting rid of Mu Caiping, Cai Wei enjoyed a moment of joy, which was soon disrupted by the evildoer’s arrival in the village.
What was he doing here?
She hoped she wouldn’t run into him!
With these thoughts in mind, she lowered her head and hurried home.
Fortunately, she didn’t see anyone along the way.
Just before entering the house, she glanced in the direction of Jiujin’s home.
Through the fence, she could only see a bunch of dark heads, unable to tell who they were.
Fearful of being seen by him, she quickly lowered her head, and swiftly entered her house.
