Chapter 49 - Arc 1.15 The Chief's Daughter

Guan Yu peered straight at Yi Lei Fang. "Yes, what about me?"

Yi Lei Fang gritted her teeth. In a hushed tone, she voices out her unwelcoming sentence, "Why are you here?"

Guan Yu gave her a smirk and replied casually, "Of course, to negotiate the trade for the rice with the Miao clan… and to visit my future wife and future in-laws."

Yi Lei Fang blinked her eyes, wondering who the future wife Guan Yu is talking about. The only female miss in this family is her two-faced cousin, Yi Mei and her, so it must be her two-faced cousin he wanted. Yup, that must be it. The type of women he liked; the ones that quickly spread their welcoming legs and act as if they've been bullied while bullying others. A fake white lotus slut is what he preferred.

He should've just said so in the first place! Why waste his time with her then? Haha! She felt relieved that her lecherous cousin will be receiving this sort of devil!

Yi Lei Fang placed her hands on Guan Yu's shoulder and gave him a supporting look. "l will not disturb your courting on my cousin." Oh, how she will not feel bad torturing his future wife later on! Yi Lei Fang shook her head and gave Guan Yu a sympathetic look.

Then a loud cough interrupted their conversation. Yi Lei Fang removed her hands from Guan Yu's shoulder as she ran and hugged the original owner's parents with a happy smile. Her facial expression changed so quick, like flipping a page. Oblivious to Guan Yu's killing aura leaking out, Yi Lei Fang ignored him like air. 

It's okay, Guan Yu will soon seize her, and she will forever be with him. He grabbed the cup and took a sip of the refreshing tea to hide his smile. 

Yi Lei Fang felt her little hairs stand up, but she quickly brushed it aside, not knowing that a tyrant man behind her is planning to make a soul imprint with her. 

Every time Yi Lei Fang saw the original owner's parents, she cannot help but stop and admire their youthful looks and beauty. The mother, Yu Rong or Madame Yu, is in her 30's but looks to be in the early '20s. With black hair shiny hair as dark as night, her lips small and full with a cute button nose, along with thin straight eyebrows, phoenix eyes with purple iris, and a palm-size oval shape face. She was a gorgeous figure.

The father, Chief Yi Yang is in his mid 40's but looks to be in the mid '20s. Along with his wife he had black hair, a straight nose, thin lips, sharp eyebrows, and almond shaped eyes with clear ocean blue irises. He had a smooth chin with a heart shaped face. Both of the parents have long fluttery eyelashes. 

Yi Lei Fang looks more like her father including the heart shaped face, but the color of her iris is like her mother but was more on the paler side.  

"You troublemaker, what have you been up to for the past four days?" Yi Yang expressed an angry face. However, his eyes revealed his real feelings as they glistened with excitement. Yi Yang is eager to know the results of the hunting game.

Yi Lei Fang wondered how this aloof and handsome father had an opposite personality when it came to his children and wife. However, she finds his character cute. 

The woman turns to face her father. She tilted her head and gave him a look that says made him seem as if he had short term memory loss.

Chief Yi Yang's "angry" face cracked as his daughter kept staring as if he was an idiot. The corner of his lips twitched.

"Ahem, so who won?" He whispered to Yi Lei Fang further in order not to embarrass himself in front of Guan Wangye and the other guests.

Chief Yi Yang froze as he saw his daughter gave him a triumph smile. He eyes darted around and stared at his two sons, who were sitting down in their respective seats, avoiding eye contact with him while gazing around the hall like it was an amazing sight to see. Chief Yi Yang boomed out a happy laugh.

"That's my girl! Hahaha! Who said a woman couldn't beat a man! Hahaha!"

With a big whack to his head, he turned to the person that had almost made his eyes popped out. And when he saw his wife glaring at him with her phoenix eyes, he shrunk his head. "Hehehe… wife you gave birth to such a wonderful daughter… and sons."

Madame Yu ignored her husband as she coldly reminded him, "Dear, don't forget that you have guests in here." She softly gaze at Yi Lei Fang and continued, "Fang'er, don't just stand there. Pay respects to Wangye, the Mu family, and your fiancé."

Yi Lei Fang knew that her fiancé and his parents were the guest in the receiving hall, but she purposely ignored them.

She shyly turned around and lower her head as she gave courtesy to Guan Yu and the Mu family. "Greetings to Wangye, Chief Mu, Madame Fe, and Mu Ling." Her cheeks tinged pink when she called her fiancé's name as she took a peek at Mu Ling. 

Yi Lei Fang inwardly admires Mu Ling's handsome face; thick straight eyebrows, small straight nose, thin lips, peach blossom eyes with long eyelashes and dark brown irises.

Yi Lei Fang lowers her head, but slyly revealed her shy face to show the blush traveling from her cheeks to her ears.  

This scene made the servants, maids, and Mu Ling keep their eyes glued to her. 

Guan Yu was sipping his tea leisurely before tightening the cup in his hand as he witnessed this. He slammed the cup on the table, scaring the daylights out of the guests.

He gave a malicious smile. "This Benwang did not mean to scare anyone. My hand was probably too heavy from waving the sword all day. Who knows what might have happened if it were those lowly pests that couldn't keep their eyes down?"

His sentence was a clear threat! A threat! Everyone was confused about who or what made this mighty god of war to be in a bad mood. But those who have been staring at Yi Lei Fang knew Guan Yu was threatening them. 

"Miss Yi, you don't need to be formal. Just call this Benwang, Guan Yu or better yet—Yu gege."

Yi Lei Fang faced Guan Yu and only responded back with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

When Mu Ling heard this, he wondered about the relationship between Guan Yu and Yi Lei Fang. Then a doubtful expression was shown as his brows furrowed in deep thoughts about the rumors. 

The Yi brothers frowned. Of course the brothers knew whose camp they infiltrated in order to rescue Yi Lei Fang. That is why they did not like hearing their meimei calling her kidnapper gege or anything intimate. Even though they felt like cutting that Wangye's face into pieces, they still keep their mouths shut with an indifferent expression on, observing the people in the hall.

With one seat away from Yi Xing-fu was Yi Mei, boiling in rage and jealousy as she saw Mu Ling and the prince staring at Yi Lei Fang. Her nails dug into her palms, causing some blood to seep out around the free edge of her translucent pink nails. 

Yi Mei was showing an innocent and caring face, but her small action and the hatred and jealousy in her eyes did not escape from Yi Lei Fang's peripheral vision. 

Her little action that was caught by Yi Lei Fang also did not escape from the two older brothers' sharp eyes as well.

Soon Chief Yi Yang spoke up to smooth out the awkward atmosphere. "Fang'er, your legs must be tired from standing and hunting. Go and have a seat." 

Yi Lei Fang nodded and took the seat next to Yi Xing-fu. There were already snacks and freshly brewed tea ready for her. 

Chief Yi Yang turned to the Chief of Yong, Mu Yat-sen; a pretty looking man with a well defined ideal nose, seductive eyes with thin hard angled eyebrows and gray orbs. 

"Chief Mu Yat-sen, what brings you and your family here in this village?"

Mu Yat-sen reply with a monotone voice, "Chief Yi Yang, we come here to call off the engagement between my son, Mu Ling and your daughter, Yi Lei Fang."
