"Heh, I don't blame you for being cautious of me." Yan Meixu said bitterly. "After all, I dressed in such revealing clothes so it's easy for you to misunderstand my personality."
Yang Wei rubbed his temples slightly as he wondered if Yan Meixu understood his explanation or not.
??
"As I'd said, I'm not being suspicious of you because of your outwear. I'm simply being what every cultivator would do in this type of situation." Yang Wei said as he prepared to head out.
He had kept Su Mingxia waiting for a long time because he was afraid she would be worried and head upstairs to check on him.
After all, he wouldn't be able to explain the current situation if she found him being alone with Yan Meixu in a room.
As he turned around and started walking, Yan Meixu quickly chased after and wrapped her arms around Yang Wei.
"Wait, don't leave me here alone. The Wang Clan is really coming and they would force me to go into the bridal carriage." Yan Meixu said in a panic while making sure to let Yang Wei feel a bit of her warmth,
'I don't think you would push me off when an alluring woman such as myself throws herself into you.' Yan Meixu smirked inwardly as she tried to hug Yang Wei tighter.

Afterward, he turned around and stared at Yan Meixu as he patted her head.
"As a woman, you shouldn't throw yourself into men too easily. I had promised to help you previously so my words still stand." Yang Wei then said as he continued.
"Thus, even if the Wang Clan arrives, they will have to go through me first before they can even lay a finger at you."
Yang Wei's words were full of sincerity and in a gentle way that was trying to calm her agitated emotion.
It was clear that Yang Wei wanted Yan Meixu to stop worrying about Wang Clan's arrival as he assured her that they wouldn't be able to do anything toward her.
Meanwhile, Yan Meixu blushed slightly as she felt his big and warm palm rubbing her head, seemingly like an adult would do to coax a child.
Yan Meixu felt her heartbeat suddenly start beating faster as she decided to be honest and stopped her childish game.
"Yang Wei, I-"
However, before Yan Meixu got to explain things to Yang Wei, a loud trumpet sound followed by multiple Chau Gong instrument sounds had echoed throughout the Flowery Restaurant.
While the instrument was playing loudly, there were also multiple people shouting aloud for everyone to hear.
"Wang Clan's ancestor, Wang Jang has sent the bridal carriage for the young madam of Flowery Restaurant."
BANG!
The musician banged on the Chau Gong right as the person finished shouting their reason for arriving at the Flowery Restaurant.
"The Wang Clan is really going overboard this time. The young madam has clearly rejected their marriage proposal yet they dared to send a group of men and a bridal carriage." A person in the crowd said loudly.
"Shush, not so loud or do you want the Wang Clan ancestor to come for our head." Another person shouted and made the person shut his mouth.
Everyone that lives in Ling City knew that Wang Clan's ancestor, Wang Jang had recently ascended to the Nascent Soul realm. Also, there are multiple rumors that some sects are inviting Wang Jang to become an elder.
Thus, offending Wang Jang now means the end of their lives as they are powerless against Wang Jang and Wang Clan.
After all, it was clear for everyone to see that it was only a matter of time before the Wang Clan would become the ruler of the Ling City.
Meanwhile, back inside the Flowery Restaurant, Su Mingxia looked for Yang Wei as he took a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was worried about him being in danger because of Yan Meixu but her expression darkened when she saw Yang Wei patting Yan Meixu's head lightly.
She gnashed her teeth as she grumpily walked over to Yang Wei and shouted in his ears, "What the hell are you doing?"
Yang Wei almost jumped in fear when he heard Su Mingxia's shout that seemed to break his eardrum completely.
"W-What do you mean what am I doing?" Yang Wei rubbed his ear softly to soothe the pain as he asked her.
"I'm asking why are you patting her head? Don't you know how old Yan Meixu is and you still treated her as a little girl?" Su Mingxia snorted as she pulled Yang Wei away from Yan Meixu.
"It wasn't like that- Yan Meixu was frightened when she heard the Wang Clan's people announcement so I tried to calm her down," Yang Wei quickly explained what had happened to Su Mingxia.
He wasn't trying to take advantage of Su Mingxia or anything as he was genuinely concerned for her well-being.
"Hmph, do you think Yan Meixu would need your help?" Su Mingxia smacked Yang Wei's head lightly as she turned around and glared at Yan Meixu.
"You should also stop pretending to be weak and let their idiotic play continue."
"What do you mean, Su Mingxia? I don't know what you are talking about." Yan Meixu feigned innocence as she showed a confused expression.
Even Yang Wei was dumbfounded by Su Mingxia's tone as he didn't understand her meaning.
Yang Wei wasn't powerful enough to notice anything suspicious from Yan Meixu such as her true cultivation base. After all, Yan Meixu had hidden her power really well.
In fact, Su Mingxia also didn't know about her true cultivation base until she decided to test her briefly with her gravitational pressure.
Su Mingxia wanted to argue further when the Wang Clan people barged inside the Flowery Restaurant as they shouted in a wicked tone, "Miss Yan, please follow us to the bridal carriage otherwise, I'm afraid of what we will do to your Flowery Restaurant."
