Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Hard to Speak Out_1

Having existed in two lifetimes as Cai Wei, how could she not understand his despicable thoughts? It was reprehensible that this beast, obsessed with his lustful desires, liked playing with undeveloped girls. If this were the present, he would definitely be sentenced to death for sexual misconduct with a minor in court!

Unfortunately, being born in this era, she could only depend on people like her - knights errant, determined to uphold justice and eliminate the evil.

"So, I will respectfully comply," Cai Wei’s cold face suddenly broke into a smile, agreeing without hesitation.

Getting Cai Wei’s consent, Lü Junchen instantly beamed, utterly oblivious to the cold calculation in the girl’s eyes.

In his view, even if the girl had any other intentions, it didn’t matter. As long as she was willing to show up, all her little schemes were merely amusing tools to him, not worth fearing. As long as she was there, regardless of how capable she was, she couldn’t escape from his grasp!

However, from Lady Yu’s perspective, this was nothing but a classic case of illicit love. This shameless little girl from the Mu Family managed to successfully pique her husband’s interest right under her watch. They were already in agreement, just waiting for tomorrow to consummate their relationship.

Her heart ached, yet she dared not say or do anything in front of her man. When the banquet began, she purposefully sat next to Cai Wei, and quietly scorned, "I was puzzled as to why an innocent daughter from the Mu Family like you would be acquainted with Zhao Yun from Think Slave Jing. Turns out you are birds of the same feather."

Cai Wei was not ready to admit defeat and retorted, "I find it strange too. Why would Master Lü prefer to linger in red-light districts rather than return home? It turns out it’s because he married a wife like you."

"You bitch, what do you mean by that?"

Lady Yu, hit where it hurt, turned red with anger. She was inches away from losing her temper in public. After struggling to keep her anger in check, and due to the fact that they were at Old Madam An’s birthday banquet, she held back from slapping the bitch hard across her face.

"You know what I mean! Hehe..."

Cai Wei nonchalantly answered and ignored her, leisurely enjoying the extravagant banquet.

The birthday banquet of Old Madame An was divided into two locations. The seating for male guests was arranged in Tingyu Building in the back garden of the mansion, while the female guests had theirs in Old Madam An’s Baiqing Courtyard. The banquet was extremely lavish. It featured luxurious dishes made from all manner of heavenly, earthly, and aquatic delights, leaving nothing to be desired.

Those attending the banquet were all either rich or noble. Even though they had experienced such events before, their manners were still courteous, and they tasted the dishes in an orderly manner.

Until the roasted meat skewers from Bafu Restaurant were served. The strong fragrance of the roasted meat masked other dishes’ scents, instantly causing a sensation at the banquet.

"What kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?"

The one who asked was a friend of An Qiyun, the Second Old Master of the An Family, from Yushu County City. The Mu Family had four masters. Only the oldest had always been in Qingyun Town while the rest were in other places. Therefore, about half of the guests at the banquet were friends from other places brought by these three masters. These people were not aware that there was such a delicacy as meat skewers.

"Gentlemen, these are roasted meat skewers. They were specially brought from Bafu Restaurant by our master for Lady An’s birthday feast. This is the only place in the world you can find them. Please enjoy!"

The An Family’s butler explained graciously, making it clear to everyone how seriously their master took this banquet and demonstrating his substantial means. But it inadvertently served as a vivid live advertisement for Bafu Restaurant.

Guests who had eaten the meat skewers at Bafu Restaurant bragged about their deliciousness to those who hadn’t, as if having eaten the skewers was the height of fashion.

The guests from outside, already tantalized by the cumin-flavored aroma of the grilled meat, were eager to taste it after hearing such an introduction.

Upon getting a taste of the meat skewers, sounds of approval rang around the spacious hall.

"Mmm, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

"This Secret Recipe grilled meat is even more delicious than the fried dishes from the capital’s renowned old brand, Jufude!"

While the guests were feasting and showering praises, some shrewd ones saw a business opportunity in the meat skewers and began scheming on grilling them!

After the Feast, Old Master An, being advanced in years, was unable to sit for long and was helped to go back to rest by the maid.

The ladies and young girls were led to the theatre in the front yard to watch a play. As Cai Wei was worried about that demon back home, she wasn’t in the mood for the play. She informed the An’s matriarch and headed back home with Uncle Jiujin and others.

Just as they got into the carriage, Jiujin handed over a silver piece weighing about four to five taels, "Sister Wei’er, this is the reward from the An Mansion. You can take this and account it."

Cai Wei patting the flamboyantly coloured fabric placed in the carriage, said, "I also got a reward. You keep these few taels of silver and use it to buy New Year’s goods."

Unable to refuse her, Jiujin tucked the silver away. Since Zhu’er had also gone with them and had significantly helped during the grilling of meat skewers, it was only fair for him to get a share of the reward too. Hence, Jiujin fished a piece of broken silver of a little over one tael from his purse and gave it to Zhu’er. The boy was delighted and chuckled throughout the journey.

Once back home, Cai Wei specifically instructed Jiujin to bring back her mother and siblings just before sundown, so they could spend more time at the nursing homes.

Jiujin, who always followed Cai Wei’s instructions to the letter, agreed instantly without questioning why.

Once back home, she hurried back to her room to check on the troublesome demon. To her surprise, she found the demon lying unnaturally on the couch, his usually refined and clear face flushed red, and his usually calm eyes filled with a tinge of restraint and urgency.

Cai Wei remembered that since she had known this guy, he had always been effortlessly elegant, free-spirited, and indifferent, even when surrounded by enemy swords, his handsome face never showed the slightest hint of disorder and carried a tranquil temperament. What could have happened now for the ancient demon to look like this?

Before she could process the scene, the man had already lost his composure and opened his mouth to speak.

"Ahem, Miss Wei’er..."

At this moment, Nangong Yi had an awkward and embarrassed look on his face, those beautiful features tinged with a deep blush. Lifelike and genuine, it was as if the fallen celestial being had just descended from the altar, still pure and untainted, yet much more tangible.

"What’s the matter?" Cai Wei asked curiously.

The expression on Nangong Yi’s face turned gloomier, after beating around the bush for a while, he finally said, "I...need to...urinate."

As he voiced the last two words, his voice dropped significantly, his long eyelashes drooping to cover the embarrassed pupils.
