"Hello, Uncle Xi. My name is Xiang Lianyi. Happy birthday to you!"

"Hello, thank you."

Xiang Lianyi's well-behaved appearance made Xi Mingyu's face look a little better. Why didn't he have a daughter in the first place?

"Lianyi, please send the clothes up to my son. And if there's anything that's wrong, can you take it back and alter it?"

"Of course, Auntie Xu."

Xu Qing smiled and asked Auntie Zhang to send Xiang Lianyi to Xi Mufeng's room. As soon as she arrived at the door, Auntie Zhang was called away. She said apologetically to Xiang Lianyi, "Miss Xiang, I'm sorry. The young Master is in the room. You can..."

"Oh, it's fine. Please go ahead and do what you have to. I'll go in by myself." Xiang Lianyi waved her hand, though she was a little nervous.

Standing at Xi Mufeng's door, Xiang Lianyi took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?" Xi Mufeng's impatient voice from within the room.

Xiang Lianyi said softly, "It's me, Xiang Lianyi. I've come to deliver..."

Before she could finish, the door to the room swung open.

The room was pitch black and Xi Mufeng was standing in the dark. "You again? Here to deliver clothes? Well, come in."

Xiang Lianyi carefully walked in. The curtains were drawn tightly. She walked over and pulled them open, the sunlight instantly streamed into the room. Xi Mufeng shielded his face with his hands in discomfort, "What are you doing?"

"You're trying on the clothes. How can you try on clothes if you can't see them?" Xiang Lianyi said righteously.

After a moment of silence, Xi Mufeng took the dress from Xiang Lianyi's hand and threw it onto the bed, then began to undress.

This act again?

Xiang Lianyi turned around and complained quietly. It was as if he didn't know what he should and should not do in front of her. Every time, he would undress with her still in the room.

Although she did want to see it.

No, no, what was she thinking about? Now shouldn't be the time to think about things like this.

While her thoughts were still drifted far away, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. She made a shocked noise and turned back sharply to see Xi Mufeng standing behind her, grinning.

"Uh, how come you're always so funny?"

"Uh..."

The two of them were suddenly silent, the atmosphere a bit strange for a moment.

Xiang Lianyi walked towards the door, "The clothes fit quite well. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now." She just happened to pass by the trash can and saw a beautifully ornate gift box being thrown inside.

Confusion crossed her mind. She stopped and said kindly, "hey, did you drop this in there?"

Xi Mufeng's face began to darken again and said coldly, "No."

Xiang Lianyi was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Xu Qing's voice at the door, "Xiaofeng, are you ready? All your uncles are starting to arrive."

She saw Xiang Lianyi just about to leave and said with a smile, "Lianyi, sorry for your troubles." After saying that, she looked at Xi Mufeng again, "Huh?"

"What's wrong? Auntie Xu?"

"I can't say, but I always feel that there's something wrong there with Xiaofeng's clothes. it looks a bit odd." Xu Qing frowned and looked at Xi Mufeng.

"Is it? I think pretty good." Xi Mufeng looked down at himself.

Just then, a maid came over and said, "Madam, the guests are almost here. Sir is calling for you."

"Oh, good, um, Lianyi, you wait here a moment. Wait for me to come back and see what's wrong, alright?" Xu Qing said and left hurriedly.

Xiang Lianyi felt a bit helpless. There was no choice but to wait.

Xi Mufeng smiled. "In that case, you should simply come to the party with me."

"Better not. You should go. I'll go downstairs and wait."

"Come on, I'll accompany you."

Xiang Lianyi smiled discreetly as she watched his back, a sweet feeling in her heart.

The two of them walked one after the other, and before they knew it, Xi Mufeng brought Xiang Lianyi to the garden.

The fragrance of the flowers enveloped them. Xiang Lianyi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Here you go."

Xiang Lianyi did not know where Xi Mufeng had found two glasses of juice. He handed one to her.

The house was brightly lit and crowded with people.

Outside the house, the stars dotted the scene and there was a gentle atmosphere.

The two of them sat under the flower shelf, neither of them speaking. Xiang Lianyi was enjoying the present moment.

In this life, she just wanted to make sure that she did not let Xi Mufeng down.

As to why Xi Mufeng wasn't saying anything, she was not certain.

Just when the atmosphere between them was just right, a female voice suddenly interrupted them.

"Mufeng?"

The two of them looked behind them. A gorgeously dressed, delicate woman gazed at Xi Mufeng as if she hadn't even seen Xiang Lianyi.

"Why are you here?" XI Mufeng asked, an impatient expression on his face.

The girl looked at him, pouting a little, "It was auntie who said you might be here. Uncle Xi was looking for you everywhere, and I don't think he looks too good."

"Got it."

Xi Mufeng looked at Xiang Lianyi, "I'm going in first. You just wait here for my mother, I'll tell her where you are."

Xiang Lianyi nodded her head sweetly.

As they left, the girl looked inexplicably in the direction of Xiang Lianyi.

In the darkness, with her back to the light.

Xiang Lianyi kept her head down.

"Heh."

How could she have forgotten someone so important?

This girl, named Mo Zhuyang, was the daughter of the Mo family in South City. She had a similar status as Xi Mufeng and was Xi Mingyu's preferred daughter-in-law candidate. She was Xi Mufeng's fiancee in her last life.

Although she don't know why they didn't get married in the end, Mo Zhuyang's presence in her last life was the trigger that caused Xiang Lianyi and Xi Mufeng's relationship to break down.

It turns out that they met even earlier than she thought they would!
