Chapter 139 Saving People (1)_1
Cai Wei was surrounded by her parents, subjected to all sorts of relentless questions and accusations. She was at a loss, tormented beyond words.
"You child, you’re too bold. Such a big matter, how could you hide it from your parents? What if the man turns out to be a bad one, how would you deal with it?" Lady Du became more and more terrified as she thought about it and her tone became increasingly stern.
Although Mu Zhongqing did not lash out, he too wore a grave look. "Tomorrow when you go back, invite your master over to our house. Your dad will have a drink with him as thanks for his guidance," he said seriously.
Cai Wei felt like crying yet no tears came. Unable to say a word, she looked at her father. Surely, dad, you don’t just invite someone home for a drink, but to probe them out, right? Moreover, the most important question - where is she supposed to find a dependable outsider to accompany you for a drink?
"Don’t just stare at me, can you do it or not?" Mu Zhongqing pressed.
Wen’er was both envious and curious about her older sister’s ’adventure’. Seeing her sister remain silent, she hastily said, "Older sister, just agree, I also want to meet this dependable outsider. Oh! Yes, what has he taught you? Can you walk on rooftops and walls?"
"..." Cai Wei was utterly disoriented, and just when she was grappling with her mixed emotions, a man’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
"Oh? Miss Mu! What a coincidence!"
Cai Wei’s spirit lifted and her eyes brightened at once. She swiftly turned around, her eyes excitedly fixed on where the voice had come from.
At the edge of lamplight, Huo Yuan, cloaked in a black fox fur coat, was slowly making his way towards her, surrounded by a group of people.
Cai Wei, thrilled with excitement, broke away from her parents and rushed towards him, bubbling with enthusiasm.
