Chapter 975 - 977 Marriage Proposal (5)
Mo Ziqi grunted a response, "Tomorrow, when you arrive at the mansion, go straight to the study room. I will be waiting for you there."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Fei’er’s face fell, resembling an ostrich, shoulders drooping, her entire body emanating an air of dejection. Mo Ziqi took a few steps, then paused to look back, watching the disheartened silhouette behind him. His usually indifferent face suddenly broke into an unrestrained smile.
He couldn’t help it; he just liked to bully her, enjoyed seeing her flustered and helpless. Having not teased her for several days, he felt as though something was missing in his heart, everything else seemed tasteless. Now, he was considering whether he should propose to her as early as Nangong Yi did, to marry her and take her home sooner!
Fei’er, after meeting Mo Ziqi, felt revitalized. Upon returning to her sister’s room, she was teased by her sister Cai Lian. She felt both embarrassed and angry, determined to settle the score with him tomorrow. Yet, recalling their numerous encounters and her unbroken record of defeats, she ultimately gave in to defeat, ’all thoughts extinguished’!
As evening approached, the guests within the manor began to depart one after another. Only then did the Mu Zhongqing couple have the chance to inspect the bridal gifts sent by their future son-in-law.
The gifts were displayed in the eastern chamber of the courtyard; one hundred and eighteen bearers of gifts filled the three rooms to the brim. Each set was generous, bulging out of boxes and chests. Such bridal gifts, naturally, were King Qin’s highest form of respect and honor for Cai Wei. Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were thoroughly pleased with the sight, nodding their heads repeatedly. They ordered the Zhang Family Brothers to take turns keeping watch over the gifts every night, guarding them until Cai Wei’s marriage, when all the gifts were to be taken back to King Qin’s Mansion as her bridal dowry!
