Tired from the long journey, the four of them slept very late the next day.

Pei Xuanxi got up early in the morning to discuss matters with them, while the other three were practicing in the yard.

After settling all the wedding arrangements, Pei Xuanxi stood up to leave.

"Original Poster, Miss Xu hasn't gotten up yet? Does she also need to know about these things?" Mo Ning looked up at him, "Also, does Miss Xu's family also need to be involved?"

Pei Xuanxi stopped walking. He was standing on the stage and now he looked down at her with a condescending attitude.

"She doesn't need to worry about it." Pei Xuanxi said, "A Zheng's family is Miss Meng and her two companions."

"What? I didn't say..."

"Mo Ning, don't worry too much about the host's affairs." Ye Qingliang interrupted her.

Pei Xuanxi noticed a look of reluctance on Mo Ning's face. He turned to the crowd and raised his voice suddenly: "A month ago, I said that A Zheng would be my future wife, Pei Xuanxi, and the future mistress of Wanxiang Building. Does anyone have any objections?"

The people below did not have any gossip. In their opinion, Pei Xuanxi was the successor hand-picked by the previous owner, and his words were ironclad. Moreover, everyone had seen his actions over the years, and Pei Xuanxi deserved the title.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people in the audience and left.

Mo Ning looked up at him and felt that his usually soft white gown seemed a little ruthless at this moment.

After the meeting, she pushed Ye Qingliang viciously.

"Why did you interrupt me!?"

"Why?" Ye Qingliang said with a slightly sarcastic tone, as if he had heard a joke. "You expressed your dissatisfaction with your future wife in front of so many people. Do you think the host will let you go?"

"The host won't do that!" Mo Ning was stunned for a moment, but still spoke stubbornly, "He has always had a good temper!"

"Humph." Ye Qingliang snorted coldly, crossed his arms in front of him, and looked at him with contempt, "How pitiful you are so naive."

He left after saying this, leaving Mo Ning standing there staring blankly.

"Ye Qingliang! Do you have a grudge against me?" She shouted, not taking it to heart.

She had been quarreling with Ye Qingliang since she was a child, and his harsh words were like the wind to her, without any harm.

On the other side, Xu Zheng and three others had just finished breakfast together and were clamoring to go to the garden to play.

"Wait!" Mo Ning suddenly flew down and stood in front of the four people, with her hands on her hips. "I want to compete with you!" She pointed at Xu Zheng.

"What the hell?" Meng Yin looked at the two of them. "Someone is already upset with A Zheng as soon as she comes?"

Mo Ning walked towards them and said firmly, "I want to see what's wrong with you that deserves this from the host!"

"What?" Xu Zheng narrowed her eyes. "You can't beat me." She said bluntly.

"So confident?" Mo Ning stopped and clenched his fists. Xu Zheng's expression was quite disdainful, and she seemed to be provoking her.

"Yes, Pei Xuanxi can't beat me, let alone you?" Xu Zheng spread his hands and said.

Meng Yin was holding back her laughter. Pei Xuanxi couldn't beat him? He just couldn't bear to fight!

"A Zheng's love rival?" Xia Nian saw it at a glance. She said that this girl had been looking at the two of them yesterday with some obscurity in her eyes.

"It seems so." Tao Tao agreed.

The two of them didn't find it surprising. How could four of them not have admirers?

"Are you kidding me? How could the OP not be able to beat you?" Hearing her arrogant words, Mo Ning couldn't bear it anymore.

"That's right. If you don't believe me, go ask him!" Xu Zheng frowned. She didn't know why this girl was competing with her.

Mo Ning's expression gradually became a little angry. She stretched out her hand and flew towards Xu Zheng, shouting, "Let's talk about it after we compete!"

Xu Zheng took a few steps forward quickly, worried that her moves would hurt Meng Yin and the other two, and got into position to prepare to receive her moves.

When she was still a few steps away from Xu Zheng, a gray-green figure rushed over and blocked her way.

Ye Qingliang chopped down with his knife without mercy, forcing Mo Ning to stretch out his hand to block, but he grabbed his wrist instead.

"Are you crazy!?" he accused.

Mo Ning looked at him in disbelief. His face was full of anger, and his words were full of blame and abuse towards him. His eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Ye Qingliang! You have stopped me again and again! Do you have any thoughts about her?" Mo Ning shouted.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Qingliang frowned, and when he saw her red eyes, his expression faded unconsciously. "Do you know what the consequences will be if your actions and words are heard by the host?"

"Do you still want to go back to the helpless days before?" He added, speaking in a low voice, as if he was deliberately speaking only to her.

"I..." Mo Ning sniffed, looking pitiful.

Xia Nian observed for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Miss Mo, A Zheng and Master Pei will be married in a few days. I think you should figure out your position."

Mo Ning bit his lip and lowered his head. What she said made sense. No matter how unwilling he was, he was just one of Pei Xuanxi's subordinates. What qualifications did he have to interfere in his affairs?

"No, sister, do you dislike me?" Xu Zheng leaned forward, "What did I do to displease you?"

Mo Ning turned his head away and said sullenly, "No, I just can't figure it out."

"If you can't figure it out, maybe you can come and talk to us." Tao Tao suggested. After all, Mo Ning is a girl, she can't have a heart-to-heart talk with a boy, right?

"No, thank you for your kindness." She thanked him dryly, shook off Ye Qingliang's hand and ran away.

Ye Qingliang was about to chase after him, but Xia Nian grabbed his arm.

"Master Ye, I hope you can tell me whether Miss Mo and Master Pei have any emotional disputes." Her cold face revealed a hint of coldness, "I don't want A Zheng to have to face these trivial matters after getting married."

Ye Qingliang looked at the four of them, nodded, and said, "Sorry, Miss Xia, let's go to the pavilion and talk."

Sitting under the pavilion, Ye Qingliang slowly told their story.

"Before Mo Ning and I were five years old, we had been wandering outside. It was when the owner of the OP was out that he felt sorry for us and took us back home. From then on, we followed him." Ye Qingliang lowered his head and recalled the past.

"I don't know what Mo Ning thinks of the OP. She never said it, and I can't figure it out." Ye Qingliang rubbed his brows, feeling very distressed about her affairs.

"What about you, Mr. Ye?" Xia Nian said calmly, "What are your feelings for Miss Mo?"

She just noticed that when Ye Qingliang mentioned Mo Ning, ripples appeared in his calm eyes. If he didn't care about her, there would not be such a change.

Sure enough, Ye Qingliang was obviously stumped by her question.

"I...we should be brother and sister, after all, we grew up together." Ye Qingliang was rarely unsure of his own statement.

To be honest, he felt bad when he saw how much Mo Ning cared about the OP, but he was more worried that Mo Ning would offend the OP because of this.

"Well, I think you could go talk to her." Xia Nian shrugged and suggested.

Ye Qingliang nodded and looked at the stone table: "We should talk about it, otherwise she will always make trouble in front of the host. I am worried that she will be fired one day."

Xia Nian expressed her understanding for his concerns, but she was not a particularly sympathetic person and she was more worried about Xu Zheng.

The three of them looked at her together. Xu Zheng leaned against a pillar, thinking about something.

"Someone likes him! Pei Xuanxi didn't even tell me!" She stood up, finally feeling a little annoyed about this matter, "I'm going to go find him and ask!"

After saying that, she ran down like the wind.

"They won't quarrel, will they?" Tao Tao said worriedly.

"It shouldn't happen. Pei Xuanxi's temper is the most unacceptable to A Zheng." Meng Yin said.

This is true. Among the few people, only Pei Xuanxi and Xu Zheng have never quarreled.
