Su Ningxi shook her head, "No."
"Then does he have a problem with his eyes?"
"From my observation these past two days, his eyes seem to be fine."
"Then what is it?"
"I guess he must like my inner qualities!"
"Ugh..." Shen Zhilan made a disgusted expression as if she was about to throw up after hearing Su Ningxi's words.
"Sis, how thick is your skin to be able to say something like that?"
Others may not know, but she knew very clearly that Huo Yuchen's attitude on their wedding day was definitely not how someone who likes another person would act.
"Alright, enough joking. Actually I also don't know why he approached me. I asked him before and he said it was because I'm ugly." Su Ningxi said seriously.
Lan Ling almost dropped her jaw in shock, "He likes ugly girls? No way! That reason is too far-fetched, I don't believe it."
"That's what he said, I don't believe it either."
"You don't even know the other party's motives yet you dare to agree to marry him, aren't you afraid of being sold off?"
Su Ningxi calmly said, "It shouldn't be that serious! And he's not lacking money either."
Moreover, with her poor image, how much could she even sell for? If selling her off was the goal, shouldn't they look for a prettier girl to sell instead?
"You said you worked as a waitress for a few days and managed to capture such a devilish man, other women must be so envious of you!" Lan Ling said, a look of envy appearing on her face.
Su Ningxi showed a disapproving expression. Is he really that great?
The image of Huo Yuchen's handsome face that could anger both humans and gods immediately appeared in her mind. He was indeed good looking, but considering how he had coerced and threatened her previously, she was reluctant to admit that he was very handsome. So she casually said, "He's just so-so."
Shen Zhilan suggested, "When can you bring him out for us to meet?"
Like the others, she was also very curious about this man at the pinnacle of the pyramid whom she had only seen on the news but not in person yet.
Hearing Shen Zhilan say this, Lan Ling also immediately became interested, "Yeah, why not now? You can say you're drunk and call him to come pick you up. You're nominally his wife now, there's no way he would ignore you right!"
Su Ningxi's mouth twitched. That doesn't seem appropriate right? Besides, it looks like she doesn't have Huo Yuchen's contact information.
"Let's talk about it when there's a chance in the future! We signed an agreement to not interfere in each other's lives, I don't want to disturb him."
At this moment, Feng Xiaoxiao said, "Have you thought about what would happen if your parents found out?"
Things were fine until she brought this up. Su Ningxi could only feel a headache coming. Now she could only hope to get a divorce from Huo Yuchen before her parents found out.
She didn't want to think too much about it, overthinking would just lead to more headaches. "We'll deal with those things when the time comes. Let's not talk too much about the future for now!"
Looking at Feng Xiaoxiao, she asked, "By the way, isn't your fiancé's younger sister called Ling Yin?"
Feng Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's right, what about her?"
Su Ningxi recounted the incident from that day.
After listening, Feng Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all, "This is something she is capable of doing."
Lan Ling asked, "Is your love rival that nasty?"
Su Ningxi replied, "She was quite nasty, but she's not my love rival since I don't like that man."
"Regardless of whether you like him or not, you are Huo Yuchen's wife now. You have to be careful of her, women can be terrifying when jealous, not to mention she is not a good person and is very scheming." Feng Xiaoxiao warned.
Shen Zhilan said, "I think you're worrying about the wrong person! Our Ningxi is who exactly? Have you ever seen her at a disadvantage before anyone?"
Hearing these words, Su Ningxi felt it was very inappropriate. "Are you saying I'm fierce?"
She didn't want others to see her as having this kind of image. She hoped to be a gentle and virtuous lady.
Shen Zhilan replied, "I didn't say that."
Su Ningxi thought...
You didn't say it directly but that was your implication.
Lan Ling said, "Xiaoxiao, how are things between you and your fiancé? Ningxi is already married, when will you get married?"
Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened slightly, "I guess we won't get married!"
His heart belonged to another woman. She could no longer warm his heart.
Lan Ling asked in surprise, "What's the situation? Did you two fight?"
Feng Xiaoxiao stayed silent. It would be better if they could fight, at least fighting was a form of communication. Other than the physical intimacy, they had no other interaction when they were together.
"Why bring up men, men are poisonous." Knowing that Feng Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk about it, Su Ningxi changed the topic.
As a man, Shen Zhilan couldn't sit still any longer. "How can you say men are poisonous? Don't be prejudiced against men, alright?"
Su Ningxi replied, "I was talking about men, why are you so agitated?"
Shen Zhilan exploded, "Su Ningxi what do you mean? Are you saying I'm not a man?"
...
Feng Xiaoxiao sorted out her emotions. Men didn't matter, friends were the most important.
Seeing the two bickering, she advised, "Alright, you two enemies destined to be together, stop arguing. If you continue, you'll start fighting."
"Hmph." Shen Zhilan let out a cold snort and turned her head away, seemingly unable to stand looking at her.
Su Ningxi rolled her eyes. "How childish!"
Looking at the time, it was getting late, so she picked up her bag and got up. "I'm leaving now, heading home."
Lan Ling said, "Why leave so early? Stay for two more drinks!"
"No thanks, I'm a married woman now so I shouldn't be out too late."
Everyone looked at her in unison, unable to believe those words had left her mouth. They were all very clear about her personality, she had a huge playful side and there was no way a marriage could restrict her.
"Why are you all staring at me like that?" Su Ningxi was puzzled by their huge reaction to her offhand remark.
Feng Xiaoxiao said, "That doesn't seem like you!"
"From now on I'll be a virtuous wife."
Lan Ling teased, "Don't tell me you've fallen for Young Master Huo and want to retire to the inner chambers to look after him from now on!"
Su Ningxi felt those words were terribly preposterous. "Pfft, how could I possibly fall for that ice-faced man."
Feng Xiaoxiao advised in the tone of someone speaking from experience, "You must guard your heart, remember that the one who falls in love first loses."
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't fall for him." Su Ningxi was unconcerned, she would never develop feelings for him.

"Young Master has returned!" Wang Ma saw Huo Yuchen come back and immediately went over to take the suit jacket he had taken off.
Huo Yuchen nodded slightly to acknowledge her.
"Can we start dinner now? Should we wait for Young Mistress?"
Wang Ma's words made Huo Yuchen's footsteps falter slightly as he walked inside. He had completely forgotten about that woman.
He asked, "Where did she go?"
"Young Mistress said she was going to meet some friends."
Huo Yuchen looked at his watch, it was already past nine. He took out his phone intending to call her, but suddenly realized he didn't have her number.
Seeing Wang Ma looking at him, Huo Yuchen subtly put his phone away again. "No need to bother about her."
"Alright." Wang Ma nodded. She felt their relationship as husband and wife was a bit strange, but as a servant she shouldn't pry too much.
