Chapter 486: Stay Calm, Don’t Be Jealous

The road that led to the Feng family’s home was the same one that led to the Nian family’s home, but the Feng family home was nearer than the Nian family’s, about ten miles from the city. It was a traditional-style Chinese house with a courtyard and a small pond in it. A few ducks were swimming in the pond. When they arrived, it was already dark, but the yard was well-illuminated.

Nian Xi arrived early. She and Ji Chuan stood side by side by the gate to welcome the others. Seeing Nian Junting, they both made fun of they way he dressed.

“Feeling better?” Nian Junting gave Ji Chuan a punch without mercy.

Ji Chuan stayed as motionless as a statue and responded with a smile, “Much better. Just got in. My mom prepared the food herself, because she knew that you’d be here for dinner.”

Mrs. Feng was in the kitchen helping with the food, while Mr. Feng stayed in the living room. The male guests sat down together and began talking about Nian Xi’s wedding with Mr. Feng.

Nian Xi said that she needed to go to the wedding dress store to pick out her wedding dress tomorrow and asked Luosang to go with her. “Sangsang, why don’t you be my maid of honor?”

Luosang paused briefly. Before she said anything, Nian Junting agreed. “That’s a good idea. Sangsang is going to look stunning in a gown.”

Mr. Feng took a sip of the tea, then smiled. “Miss Xu is definitely pretty. Even I, as an old man, can imagine how good she’ll look in a gown. However, will a too-pretty maid of honor make Nian Xi less eye-catching at the wedding?”

“Uncle Feng, are you saying that I’m not as pretty as Sangsang?” Nian Xi pretended to be angry.

Mr. Feng laughed out loud and said, “How can it be possible? Xi, you’re beautiful, too.”

Nian Xi snorted and replied, “Uncle, I’m not gonna talk to you again.”

Ji Chuan also smiled and said, “If the maid of honor is too pretty, she will certainly attract the attention of many male guests. There will definitely be many important guests who have fame and prestige at the wedding. Miss Xu is such a pretty girl, so I guess after the wedding, you’ll have many suitors.”

“Then she won’t be the maid of honor.” Nian Junting immediately refused Nian Xi’s suggestion. He didn’t want his girlfriend to have too many suitors.

Luosang smiled silently, only giving Ji Chuan a glance. Maybe she was too sensitive, but she felt that the term, “guests who have fame and prestige” was especially meaningful.

He actually means that there will be many important guests at the wedding, so if I were the maid of honor and those guests learned about my family background, people would talk, right? she thought.

She understood. The Feng family wasn’t incredibly wealthy, but it was prestigious in the military world in Xia City. If people knew that the maid of honor at their wedding was the daughter of a molester, they might feel disgraced.

Nian Xian and Nian Junting didn’t mind it, so they wouldn’t think that much about it, but the Feng family and the others might not feel the same way, just like how Nian Qingyun couldn’t accept her because of her family.

“That’s such a shame.” Nian Xi felt regret.

“It’s okay. I can still help you pick the wedding dress.” Luosang smiled at her and said, “I assume you’re planning to buy one, right?”

“Of course we are. Mom was going to hire a designer from abroad to design one specially for me, but we don’t have enough time for that.” Once Nian Xi said that, the sound of a car was heard from outside.

“Who’s arriving? It’s not my dad, is it?” asked Nian Xi.

Mr. Feng shook his head and said, “I didn’t invite your dad.”

Ji Chuan pressed his lips together, then said, “I invited Shuangwei.”

The living room fell into a weird silence for a moment as everyone else automatically turned their eyes to Nian Junting and Luosang. Nian Junting frowned slightly. A short while later, he said in a bland tone, “It’s alright. We’re all friends, and the New Year is coming. We’d see each other sooner or later.”

After saying that, he held Luosang’s hand, put his mouth near her ear, and whispered to her, “Stay calm. Don’t be jealous.”
