After Yun Mengyao finished speaking, she was ready to call Qin Yi and the others to leave.
"Yaoyao?"
Jin Wuji’s face was full of sorrow as he said,
"We’ve been apart for so many years, I’ve never stopped thinking about you. Why are you treating me so coldly now? Have you forgotten that you’re my fiancée, that there’s a marriage contract between us?"
Yun Mengyao paused slightly, giving him a playful look as she said,
"Saint Heir Jin, have you forgotten you’re already married? Since you married my cousin, you should treat her well and stop being so fickle. What I hate most is a man who’s eating from his bowl while eyeing the pot."
"And, didn’t those two from your clan, Jin Zhan and Jin Zheng, go back? I already wrote the letter of annulment and had them take it back. Don’t tell me you didn’t see it?"
Jin Wuji’s expression turned a little ugly. For Yun Mengyao to bring up the annulment letter in public like this was a blow straight to his pride.
For a man to be repudiated was already a huge embarrassment. Let alone one who was the Saint Heir of the Golden Winged Roc clan.
"Yaoyao, I know Elders Jin Zhan and Jin Zheng were rash and offended you with their words. I’ve already scolded them; let your anger subside a bit."
"Back then I said, in this life I’ll marry no one but you, so I will never acknowledge your annulment letter."
Jin Wudi said, his tone full of affection.
Yun Mengyao laughed. "No one but me, yet you ended up marrying my cousin?"
"Yaoyao, marrying your cousin was a last resort. Even though I married her, the only one I love in my heart is you."
"It’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If you and I marry, I guarantee you’ll be my primary wife."
Yun Mengyao’s face was full of mockery as she said,
"Jin Wuji, do you know what everything you just said is called? It’s textbook scumbag talk. Luckily I didn’t marry you, otherwise I’d probably regret it so much my guts would turn green."
"As for me, stop thinking about me. Go back and live your days properly with my cousin. Since I’ve written the letter of annulment, there is absolutely no going back on this matter."
"If the Golden Winged Roc clan wants to make things difficult for the Feather Clan because of this, I guarantee the end result will be mutual destruction."
Jin Wuji’s gaze darkened slightly. "Have you fallen for someone else?"
"What’s that got to do with you?"
Yun Mengyao asked back calmly.
"Yaoyao..."
"Goodbye!"
Yun Mengyao couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense. How had she not noticed before that this guy was a scumbag? She could only blame herself for being too young back then.
He married her cousin and still wanted to marry her, dreaming of having his cake and eating it too. Dream on.
"Let’s go!"
Yun Mengyao called Qin Yi and the others to leave.
Qin Yi turned his head and said to Lang Ya,
"Come on, we’ll just have to find another place to get you some dried fish."
"Stop!"
Liang Yuhe suddenly spoke up.
Qin Yi looked back and asked with a smile, "You talking to me?"
Liang Yuhe was staring at Qin Yi’s hand. At some point, a Feather stained with golden light had appeared in his hand, which he was turning over and playing with.
"That is a Feather of the Golden Winged Roc clan. Who are you? To toy with it like that is to profane the Golden Winged Roc clan."
All eyes fell on Qin Yi’s hand.
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, then raised his hand. "You’re saying this is from the Golden Winged Roc clan?"
"What? You mean you didn’t know?"
"I really didn’t. I picked it up halfway here and thought it was a broken shard of some weapon. I didn’t expect it to be a Feather of the Golden Winged Roc clan. My bad!"
Jin Wuji stared coldly at Qin Yi. In his view, Yun Mengyao’s cold attitude toward him was entirely because of Qin Yi.
"What do you mean by profaning my Golden Winged Roc clan?"
Qin Yi said with a smile, "I’m truly sorry, I really didn’t know this was one of your Golden Winged Roc clan’s Feathers."
As he spoke, he casually tossed the Feather away.
Jin Wuji’s face grew dark, a vicious light flashing in his eyes.
"Are you provoking our Golden Winged Roc clan?"
Qin Yi quickly waved his hands. "I wouldn’t dare, that’s putting it too seriously."
Jin Wuji looked at Qin Yi with a cold gaze and said in a frosty tone, "Today is the Liang Family Head’s birthday. For the sake of the occasion and considering your ignorance, I won’t hold it against you. But an apology is unavoidable."
"I’m sorry!"
Qin Yi blurted it out without even thinking, like he was used to apologizing to people.
Yin Qianqian, Yun Mengyao, and Lang Ya all stared at Qin Yi in dumbfounded shock. Had this guy taken the wrong medicine? He actually apologized to Jin Wuji.
Qin Yi looked at Jin Wuji with squinted eyes and a grin. "I can go now, right?"
Jin Wuji’s expression turned unsightly. He hadn’t expected Qin Yi to apologize so straightforwardly, leaving him momentarily at a loss.
"Qin Yi, let’s go."
Yun Mengyao said.
Qin Yi smiled at Jin Wuji. "Farewell!"
Jin Wuji watched Yun Mengyao’s departing back and called out,
"Yaoyao, when making friends you need to keep your eyes open. You’re a daughter of heaven; don’t let some petty clowns deceive you. They’ll only ruin your future."
Yun Mengyao didn’t even turn her head, replying coolly, "Saint Heir Jin, that’s really not something you need to worry about."
Jin Wuji’s face grew terrifyingly dark.
...
...
Qin Yi and the others casually found a restaurant and sat down to eat.
While they ate, Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi curiously. "What bad idea are you plotting now?"
Qin Yi was slightly startled. "What do you mean?"
"You just apologized to Jin Wuji."
"Is there a problem with that?"
Yun Mengyao narrowed her beautiful eyes and said with a smile,
"For ordinary people, apologizing isn’t strange. But I know you’ve always had a bad impression of the Golden Winged Roc clan. For you to actually apologize to Jin Wuji, that’s not like you at all. When something’s off, there’s always a reason. You’re definitely cooking up some sneaky scheme."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes. "Don’t think of me as that narrow-minded. Besides, wasn’t I doing it for your sake?"
"I’d never seen Jin Wuji in the past. I had some misunderstandings about him. Seeing him today, the guy’s actually pretty decent-looking. No wonder you liked him so much back then, bawling and insisting you’d only marry him."
Yun Mengyao’s bright little face instantly went from sunny to cloudy. She glared at him fiercely. "Cut the sarcastic crap. Which of your eyes saw me liking him, insisting I’d only marry him? Is your brain faulty?"
"Back in my hometown, some people kept comparing my fiancé with him every day, saying I wasn’t worth a damn."
"I was just young and ignorant back then."
Qin Yi gave her a teasing look. "Big sis, you’re a few years older than me, okay? Young and ignorant? Can we at least drop the ’young’?"
"You’re the ignorant one. I was just like Bingbing, temporarily blind and fell for a scumbag. Bingbing chose to stay blind to the end; I’m smarter. I stay away from scumbags and cherish my life!"
Qin Yi frowned. "Are you sick? What are you dragging Bingbing into this for?"
"I didn’t drag Bingbing in. The point is to highlight that you’re a scumbag."
"Since when did I scumbag you?"
"If you dare scumbag me, I’ll turn you into a eunuch."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes again. "With that temper of yours, go take it out on Jin Wuji. What are you doing looking for a sense of presence with me?"
Yun Mengyao’s face was full of irritation. "Hurry up and eat! Why so much nonsense? Can we not mention that person? It ruins my appetite."
"Oh right, where did you find that Feather from the Golden Winged Roc clan? Just one shabby feather, and you lowered yourself that much, apologizing to him in front of so many people?"
Qin Yi stayed silent.
"You go deaf? I’m talking to you."
Qin Yi said irritably, "What is wrong with you? You just said not to mention that person, and in the blink of an eye you won’t shut up about him."
"You..." Yun Mengyao ground her teeth. "Fine, you win!"
