Chapter 1370 - 1377: Cai Lian’s Pain (1)
Copper Hot Pot steamed vigorously, thin slices of mutton, tender cabbage, seafood, and other delicious foods bubbled and tumbled inside the pot. Mo Shuya was enjoying the food immensely, heartily feasting and praising the food as she ate. Zhao Gui ate gracefully, dabbing his mouth lightly with a handkerchief as he ate, his movements elegant and refined.
Xiang Yun had already eaten her fill and was listlessly fiddling with leftover crab shells on the table, her childish game catching the attention of Situ Changge who couldn’t help but have his gaze drawn towards her.
At this moment, the shop assistant knocked on the door and entered, saying, "Boss, Young Master Huo Yuan has arrived and is in the private room next door. Young Master Huo and two other masters have come together. They would like to see you."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up, saying to Liu Xi, "You help entertain them first, I will go and see!"
Previously, the purse she had given to Huo Yuan was discovered by Nangong Yu, and she had been brooding over it ever since. Upon returning, she immediately sent someone to find him, wanting to take the purse back, only to find out he had left and did not know when he would return.
All these days, she had been keeping this incident in mind. Hearing that Huo Yuan had arrived, she of course hurried to find him. The purse must be taken back as it concerned Fei’er’s reputation, she could not afford to be careless!
Huo Yuan had come along with An Qilu and Cao Jin, and when Cai Wei entered, the three were drinking.
Upon seeing Cai Wei, Huo Yuan’s eyes momentarily darkened before returning to normal, he laughed and said, "It’s been a long time... Are you well?"
Cai Wei’s status was no longer what it once was, and he could no longer call her "Cai Wei Younger Sister" or "Younger Sister", but he couldn’t bring himself to address her as "Your Majesty", so he ended up not calling her anything at all.
Cai Wei understood his dilemma, and nodding with a smile, she said, "Thank you for your concern, I’m doing well!"
