The atmosphere in the room had reached a freezing point, Mu Chuyang's aggressiveness had made Duan Yunfei unable to resist, she had never thought that the gentle Mu Chuyang would actually say such ruthless words to her because of the existence of the two red wooden boxes.
But in actuality, the root of the problem was not the congratulatory gift Xiu Heng had sent over, but rather the feelings Duan Yunfei had for Xiu Heng.
Mu Chuyang understood in his heart that he was making trouble without reason, just like those shrewd women in the streets that he despised the most.
Xiu Heng had always been a threat to Mu Chuyang, even after more than three years had passed, even if he had already left the Jin Country for a long time now. But when he thought of how Duan Yunfei followed behind Xiu Heng and looked forward to her acceptance, Mu Chuyang hated Xiu Heng to the core.
In a relationship, people who were sincere tended to care the most about each other's feelings. Just like how Mu Chuyang brought his entire heart in front of Duan Yunfei, but because of Duan Yunfei's internal injuries, he felt as if his heart was being ruthlessly stabbed with a dagger.
"Chu Yang, can you calm down a bit? Listen to me explain to you."
Duan Yunfei didn't want to cause an argument between her and Mu Chuyang because of Xiu Heng. To Duan Yunfei, this was already a thing of the past, she already understood her own feelings. She genuinely liked Mu Chuyang, and it wasn't because she wanted to avoid the discussion, nor was it because she wanted to satisfy the feelings Mu Chuyang had towards her after all these years.
"Explanation? How do you want to explain it? Tell me, how is Xiu Heng grateful to you? How could you not forget him? " It was obvious that he did this in order to explain everything to Duan Yunfei. Why was it that the situation had become even worse now?
"Mu Chuyang, what do you mean by that? "Like I said, it's not what you think at all. What do you want me to do by being so aggressive?"
No matter how good Duan Yunfei's temperament was, she would still not tolerate Mu Chuyang's misunderstanding of him, not to mention that Duan Yunfei had inherited Yuwen Di's irascible temper.
Obviously, Duan Yunfei only wanted an opportunity to explain herself, but Mu Chuyang's barrage of words had made it unbearable for him.
"Me? Do you know that we are engaged right now, and you are my, Mu Chuyang's, unmarried wife? Are you still thinking about your old lover and not allowing me to say a word? Don't you think it's unfair to me? How can I be compared with Xiu Heng? Is he worth your concern for so many years? "
Duan Yunfei was truly hurt by Mu Chuyang's words, and tears welled in her eyes. But in order to not lose out to Mu Chuyang in terms of momentum, Duan Yunfei fiercely pinched her own arm, and a wave of pain passed through, causing Duan Yunfei to forcefully hold back her tears.
"I, Duan Yunfei, have always been an upright and upright person. I've said that things are not as you think, but if you do not listen to my explanation, then I have no other choice."
In the end, Duan Yunfei gave in, but she did not take a step back to gain Mu Chuyang's understanding. Instead, it made Mu Chuyang feel that she was feeling guilty.
"I came today with the intention of resolving this misunderstanding. Who would have thought that …" Mu Chuyang did not conceal his disappointment and anger.
This time, did not understand, but to say that Mu Chuyang was so angry because of Xiu Heng was understandable, but Mu Chuyang's so-called "misunderstanding" seemed to have happened before this, but no matter how Duan Yunfei thought about it, she could not think of any misunderstanding that had occurred between her and Mu Chuyang a few days ago.
"What misunderstanding are you talking about?" Duan Yunfei knew that in the current situation, Mu Chuyang might not necessarily be able to tell her the truth, but she could not allow for there to be a misunderstanding between them that she was not aware of.
"Misunderstanding? I originally thought it was a misunderstanding, but now it doesn't seem to be. " Mu Chuyang was unwilling to speak any further with Duan Yunfei, "Today, I will return first."
Mu Chuyang walked straight towards the door, leaving behind a cruel and resolute back.
When Mu Chuyang opened the door, a cold wind blew in from outside the room, causing Duan Yunfei to feel an unprecedented cold.
If she knew that this would happen, she wouldn't have talked so much in front of Mu Chuyang. Now that Duan Yunfei had started a quarrel with Mu Chuyang, Xiao Ya didn't know what to do.
Duan Yunfei looked at Mu Chuyang's back, and his heart was in pain for a while. Presumably, that was what Mu Chuyang had felt then as well.
"Come in." Duan Yunfei sensed that Xiao Ya was waiting outside the house. Thinking about the temperature outside the house, she summoned her in.
"Princess... This servant spoke too much. " Once Xiao Ya entered the room, she knelt in front of Duan Yunfei and apologized for her words.
Duan Yunfei was not a person who liked to vent her anger. The ruthless words that Mu Chuyang had said to her was a problem between her and Mu Chuyang. However, Xiao Ya was not aware of the conflict between them, and it was not intentional for them to start a quarrel, so what crime did Xiao Ya have?
"Get up first. This is not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Although Duan Yunfei did not blame Xiao Ya, she still felt that it was too much of a responsibility. It had to be said that and Mu Chuyang were only engaged, and now that there was a huge commotion, she did not know whether or not it would affect their marriage. If this marriage were to be cancelled due to her blabbering, Xiao Ya would have to face it with her life.
Seeing that Xiao Ya was not able to stand up yet, Duan Yunfei walked forward to help her up. But at this time, Xiao Ya suddenly stood up.
Xiao Ya felt that she was a sinner in the first place, how could she let Duan Yunfei help her up?
's heart was as cold as this world of ice and snow. He suddenly felt that he had wasted all of his sincerity, and everything he had done for Duan Yunfei was not as good as the smile Xiu Heng had given him back then.
"Mu Chuyang, you are so pathetic." Mu Chuyang mocked himself. He thought that Duan Yunfei truly had feelings for him, and it turns out that she was just lying to herself.
Thinking about how he told everyone that he and Duan Yunfei were mutual lovers in the Jade House a few days ago, Mu Chuyang felt that it was extremely funny.
