Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

Hearing this familiar voice, An Yiqing smiled. She turned around to look at the old man and inclined her head slightly. "Grandpa Li, things were too rushed yesterday, I didn’t even have time to greet you. That was really impolite of me."

"It’s fine, it’s fine, yesterday was too busy, it’s not your fault." The old man was none other than Li Yuhang, founder of Li Group. Supported by Li Yuphei, he walked forward slowly, looked An Yiqing up and down, and nodded in satisfaction. "The An Family’s girl has grown up, I imagine Commander An must be very proud! I just don’t have that kind of good fortune, I only had sons, and my sons only had boys too. There’s only that little girl Qingtian at home, and she’s always running around so no one can find her. Aiya!"

At the mention of Xu Qingtian, An Yiqing laughed.

"Grandpa Li, how’s Qingtian? I haven’t seen her in so long. A while back she was still calling me, yelling that she wanted to come play in Xuandu City."

"That girl is doing great, she’s as mischievous as a boy." Mentioning his little granddaughter, Li Yuhang’s chatterbox was opened and he rambled on, "She really was clamoring to go to Xuandu City to see you a while ago, then I don’t know what happened, seems she had some kind of quarrel with Xie Huan from the Sanfeng Association. These days she’s been wearing a little sullen face, sulking."

"Hm? How did she get to know Xie Huan?" An Yiqing raised her brows, a trace of curiosity surfacing in her heart.

"Who knows? I heard her say they got to know each other after having a fight. Anyway, the moment Xie Huan is mentioned, that girl gets so angry her nose practically stops breathing. Her mom’s had plenty of laughs over it." Li Yuhang laughed heartily. "But if you think about it, that’s how young people are. If they don’t make a fuss now, when they’re old later they won’t have the energy to."

An Yiqing laughed along, but in her heart she was secretly mulling over the relationship between Xu Qingtian and Xie Huan. Could it be that Brother Huan is about to find her a sister-in-law?

Mm, if that sister-in-law were Xu Qingtian, she’d be more than happy about it.

Snickering to herself inside, nothing showing on her face, An Yiqing chatted warmly with the group. At first, quite a few people still looked down a bit on this girl who was far too young, but after a round of conversation, they all changed their opinion of her. Whether in conduct or speech, in what she had seen and heard, or in her views on things, this girl was unusually seasoned. Even these older folks couldn’t help but praise her again and again.

After this round of conversation, An Yiqing had already drawn in quite a few potential partners. Looking at the champagne glass she’d only drunk half of, Zhang Yuksheng and Xing Bin secretly gave her a thumbs up. As expected of their young lady—her ability to "play tai chi" was truly impressive!

The charity gala was about to begin, and the banquet hall was gradually filling up. Under dazzling lights, everyone’s glasses clinked as laughter mingled in the air, a scene of pure extravagance.

At this moment, the main doors slowly opened. Edith and Emory, dressed in a red gown and a tuxedo respectively, appeared on the scene. Everyone’s attention was drawn to them, and when they caught sight of the stunning Edith, they were first amazed, then showed puzzled expressions.

Why did Princess Edith’s face look a bit strange?

Frowning, Zhang Yuksheng and Xing Bin whispered a few comments.

"Did you notice? Princess Edith’s face looks kind of weird?"

Xing Bin furrowed his brows, carefully sizing Edith up. He stroked his chin. "It does look a bit off. It’s like... a statue slathered in Da Bai."

Yes, Edith’s face looked as if it had been coated layer upon layer with white Da Bai, you couldn’t see a trace of her original skin tone.

"I mean, she’s clearly just a young girl, why does she have to put her foundation on so thick? Makes her look so old-fashioned." Xing Bin muttered under his breath, "Our young lady is still better—pure natural. And she looks better than that so-called princess anyway."

An Yiqing heard their conversation loud and clear. Nothing showed on her face, but she was laughing so hard inside she could practically roll over. Others might not know what was going on, but how could she not? When they’d had dinner last night, she’d slipped some diarrhea medicine into Edith’s food. The effect of that medicine was magical, guaranteeing that Edith would spend the whole night sitting on the toilet "having too much fun to leave."

Heh, if you covet her man, then you’d better be ready to bear the brunt of her wrath.

Watching the way An Yiqing was smiling like a little fox, Gu Yelin’s lips quirked slightly. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen her little stunt last night; he just wanted to indulge her and spoil her. If that so-called princess really got angry and it turned into some kind of diplomatic dispute between two countries, so what? At worst, he’d just go beat her into submission.
