49: A kiss

Chapter 49 A Kiss

Wu Yuexian was completely stunned.

For so many years, they had never looked for her.

When she needed care the most, they never appeared.

Now that she had grown up, they came and said they had found her a partner?

"No need!"

"If there's nothing else, please leave quickly."

Wu Jingzhi was clearly a bit bewildered.

He hadn't expected Wu Yuexian to refuse so decisively.

Most people would be happy to hear that someone had introduced them to a wealthy partner.

He hadn't expected this reaction...

His one million yuan betrothal gift had already been discussed.

Then he looked at Li Zhiyan.

"Xiao Yan, persuade your sister.

Staying here has no future."

"Convince her to leave your family, and Uncle will give you some financial compensation."

"How about two hundred thousand yuan?"

"And after all, we are her true relatives; without relatives as support, she will easily suffer grievances later."

If he could bring Wu Yuexian back to Fujian, then spending two hundred thousand yuan was worth it.

Liu Xiaoyun, standing nearby, could no longer hold back.

Her temper had never been good.

"Don't you have any shame?"

"When Xianxian was little and no one took care of her, you were afraid of trouble and spending money."

"Now that she's grown up, you want to bring her back to be part of the maiden family?"

"So, you get all the benefits, is that it?"

Hearing Liu Xiaoyun's outburst, Wu Jingzhi didn't take it seriously.

He knew that Wu Yuexian was very fond of Li Zhiyan.

If Li Zhiyan could persuade her, she would definitely agree.

It was just Wu Yuexian, who had no blood relation; persuading her could earn two hundred thousand yuan, such a young person should be tempted.

Li Zhiyan looked at Wu Jingzhi.

"Don't say two hundred thousand, even if it's two million, two hundred million, I would never let Li Yuexian leave our family."

"She is a person, a living, breathing woman, one meter seventy-two tall."

"She is a part of our family and will never leave our family."

"Out of respect for you being her uncle, I won't curse, but I don't want to see you appear a second time."

"The so-called maiden family is only us; it has nothing to do with you."

"Li Yuexian, let's go!"

With that, Li Zhiyan grabbed Wu Yuexian's wrist and walked out of the teahouse.

Liu Xiaoyun followed suit.

"Hey!"

"Don't go, Yuexian, let's talk more."

However, the three walked away resolutely, showing no intention of staying.

...

After arriving home, Wu Yuexian returned to her room, sat on the bed with her head down, and said nothing.

Liu Xiaoyun was still very angry.

"Indeed... there are all kinds of people in this society."

"I've never seen such shameless people before."

"Where were they when you needed help the most!"

Then, she remembered something.

"But, Li Zhiyan, your performance today was quite good."

Liu Xiaoyun had thought that Li Zhiyan would be the kind of person who was spoiled and very annoying.

He might even sell Wu Yuexian out...

After all, many 'floor-worshippers' (those who blindly obey their family/partner) don't end up well.

But, she never expected it.

Li Zhiyan actually didn't care about money.

"Nonsense, this is a living, breathing person, one meter seventy-two tall."

Then, Li Zhiyan saw the tears on the bedsheet.

He also felt very pained; in fact, Wu Yuexian's fate was the most tragic.

She lost her parents at a young age, with no one to rely on.

After coming to his house, he often bickered with her daily.

And he had never felt sorry for Wu Yuexian when he was little.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiyan felt a pang of guilt in his heart.

"Sister..."

Li Zhiyan gently took Wu Yuexian's hand.

"Don't be sad anymore; there's really no need, is there?"

"They just happen to have some blood relation to you, that's all."

"You are always irreplaceable in my heart."

"It's really not worth being sad for those irrelevant people."

Wu Yuexian's tears fell, drop by drop.

"What you said today, was it all true?"

Li Zhiyan answered without any hesitation: "Of course it's true, Li Yuexian, no amount of money can buy you away, because your value cannot be measured by worldly things."

After a while, she hugged Li Zhiyan, very, very tightly.

"Li Yuexian my foot, it's Wu Yuexian!"

"I know, Babe."

"Don't worry, my little one, I won't be sad anymore."

Wu Yuexian felt that the current Li Zhiyan was truly completely different from before.

In the past, he would quarrel and bicker with her, and often wouldn't give in to her at all.

But now, Li Zhiyan genuinely cared for her very, very much.

"You, Uncle, and Auntie are my true family."

With that, Wu Yuexian hugged Li Zhiyan and kissed him.

The warm sensation almost made Li Zhiyan's technique falter, but he still restrained himself.

Youth...

Still had some downsides.

Liu Xiaoyun looked at the two, who seemed to have a very good relationship, and she suddenly understood Wu Yuexian a little.

However, she still couldn't stand the 'floor-worshipper' behavior.

...

Time passed quickly.

Wu Yuexian's birthday arrived.

At work, Wu Yuexian was a bit distracted.

"Xiaoyun, do you think Babe will be very happy when I give him the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?"

Liu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes.

"Of course he'll be very happy, it's over three hundred thousand yuan."

"Who wouldn't be happy?"

"I just hope you won't regret it later.

Even though Li Zhiyan protects you very much."

"But spending all the money you earned from crazy part-time jobs and overtime these past few years on a Mercedes-Benz C-Class is too crazy.

I don't even know how to persuade you anymore."

Wu Yuexian looked at WeChat on her computer and started sending messages to Li Zhiyan.

"As long as he's happy, that's good."

Liu Xiaoyun touched Wu Yuexian's forehead.

"Wu Yuexian, I really don't know whether to say you have a love-struck brain, no, this isn't even love, what kind of brain is this? I'm speechless..."

...

Meanwhile.

Li Zhiyan was at a Mercedes-Benz 4S store looking at cars.

He saw Wu Yuexian's message.

Wu Yuexian: "What are you doing, Babe?"

"I left the cake to you; you didn't mess it up, did you?"

"Also, I prepared a very special gift for you today."

Li Zhiyan: "The cake is already being made."

"To celebrate Miss Li Yuexian's birthday, I've also prepared a special gift!"
