The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 120: His Mother’s Hairpin

"Bai Xifeng is someone who loves me. She would do what I want her to do." Liu Jun stated.

It seemed that Liu Jun still thought that Bai Xifeng loved him so much. He thought she was probably being angry with him after this. Don’t know where he got such confidence.

He seemed to forget that Bai Xifeng’s attitude toward him recently. He even got beaten up by her earlier.

"Imperial Father, you should invite her to the palace and try to convince her to break off her engagement with the third brother. I am sure that she would be convinced if you talk to her." Liu Jun said.

Liu Man went silent. He was thinking about that. He already thought that it would be a good idea if Bai Xifeng got back to Liu Jun. He was thinking to follow Liu Jun’s plan.

"Alright. I will try to invite her to the palace soon." Liu Man stated.

"The sooner the better." Liu Jun said.

....

Bai Xifeng was lazing around after having some dinner. She would not go out tonight. She wanted to daze off while looking at the sky.

"I am bored."

"I want to watch anime."

"I want my internet."

"I want my phone, my laptop."

Bai Xifeng suddenly shouted.

Her subordinates came over to look at the situation.

"Master, what is going on?" Yu Xiaohui asked.

Others were also looking at her waiting for her answer. Bai Xifeng suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Nothing at all... Sorry for shouting like that." Bai Xifeng said.

’So embarrassing.’ Bai Xifeng wanted to hide somewhere.

Xiao Li looked at her. She heard the words before. ’Anime, internet, phone, laptop.’ Those words were mentioned by her young miss before. She did not understand the meaning of those words.

"You can go and do your own thing." Bai Xifeng said to her subordinates.

She looked at the sky again. This time, she remembered one of her favourite anime, One Piece. She just watched the 1000th episode of the anime. She thought she would pile stock the episode until the Wano Arc finished first before she continued to watch the anime.

But now, she regretted not to watch the episode continuously until the latest. At least she knew the latest episode. She suddenly wanted to cry. She sighed.

While Bai Xifeng was in her fantasy, she did not know that someone had come to his courtyard. Yu Nianzu went to open the door. He was surprised to see the third prince and his aide. He bowed respectfully to the third prince while greeting him.

"Your Highness." Yu Nianzu said.

The third prince grinned as he saw someone open the door. He wanted to see Bai Xifeng tonight.

"Is Xifeng here?" Liu Longwei asked.

"Yes. She is here. Come in first. I will report your arrival to her first." Yu Nianzu said.

The third prince’s aide, Hou Tingguang was surprised to see Yu Nianzu. Yu Nianzu acted perfectly as the butler. It was just a few days after they met each other. He already changed for much. He looked better and had much confidence. Hou Tingguang could see by looking at how Yu Nianzu brought himself.

"Master, His Highness the third prince is here. He wants to see you." Yu Nianzu went to report to Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng snapped out of her imagination when she heard Yu Nianzu. She could not get what Yu Nianzu told her in the first sentence. She already heard the part where ’He wants to meet you’ only.

"What? Who do you say wants to meet me?" Bai Xifeng looked over.

"His Highness the Third Prince." Yu Nianzu stated.

"Huh? What does he want coming here this late?" Bai Xifeng stood up.

Bai Xifeng went to see Liu Longwei. He was waiting for Bai Xifeng while looking around. His eyes lifted when he saw Bai Xifeng. He rushed to Bai Xifeng’s side.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I want to invite you to have dinner outside." Liu Longwei invited Bai Xifeng.

"Sure." Bai Xifeng was delighted.

"Master, you already have dinner one hour ago." Yu Nianzu reminded Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng was startled. She coughed in embarrassment.

"I can just have supper." Bai Xifeng said to cover her embarrassment.

Yu Nianzu was silent when he heard the response. After staying with Bai Xifeng for a few days, he already understood Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng was a foodie. She liked to eat. Sometimes, he found Bai Xifeng sneaking into the kitchen to find food.

Yu Nianzu found out that Xiao Li prevented Bai Xifeng from entering the kitchen. He did not know why. Xiao Li must have her reason for doing that.

"Let’s go. Nianzu, tell others that I will go out." Bai Xifeng said.

"Let me follow you." Yu Nianzu stated.

"No need. You can cultivate and guard the courtyard. I will be back before midnight." Bai Xifeng said.

"Let’s go." Bai Xifeng pulled Liu Longwei’s hand.

"Young Miss Bai, do you need to change your clothes first?" Hou Tingguang asked.

"Huh? Why? Am I wearing this not suitable to go out?" Bai Xifeng was confused as she looked down at her clothes.

"I mean... A girl always dressed up when going out." Hou Tingguang stated.

From the corner eye, he could see that his master kept staring at him.

"Oh... No need for that." Bai Xifeng said.

So, they went out. When they were on the way to the main entrance, they happened to see Bai Guowei. Bai Guowei just returned home. He was surprised to see the third prince with Bai Xifeng.

"Your Highness." Bai Guowei greeted Liu Longwei by bowing his head.

Bai Guowei had something to say to Bai Xifeng but since Liu Longwei was there too, he did not say anything to Bai Xifeng.

"Are you going out?" Bai Guowei could not help to ask.

"Yes. We are going out for dinner." Liu Longwei stated.

"Hmm... To nourish your relationship." Bai Xifeng grinned.

Liu Longwei heard that and grinned as well. After that, they left behind Bai Guowei staring at them. He did not know what to feel when seeing those two together.

Liu Longwei and Bai Xifeng ride inside the carriage. Hou Tingguang rides outside the carriage. So, it was only two of them inside the carriage.

"I miss you, Wifey." Liu Longwei started the conversation.

Bai Xifeng coughed several times.

"Why are you missing me? We just haven’t met for one day." Bai Xifeng responded.

"I know that but..." Liu Longwei put on the sad puppy face again.

"Alright... Alright... You miss me... I got it." Bai Xifeng was awkward with this situation.

Liu Longwei suddenly searched for something under the seat. Bai Xifeng did not say anything. She wondered what Liu Longwei was looking for.

Then, Liu Longwei seemed to grab something. It was a box. It had a unique pattern on it.

"Here, it is for you." Liu Longwei gave the box to Bai Xifeng.

"What is this?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Bai Xifeng was attracted to the pattern on the box.

"My mother’s hairpin." Liu Longwei said.

Bai Xifeng almost dropped the box.

"F**k!" Bai Xifeng swore.

She managed to save the box from failing on the carriage ground.

"Safe." Bai Xifeng was relieved. She then looked at Liu Longwei. "Why are you giving your mother’s belongings to me?"

"What? I can’t?" Liu Longwei showed a surprised look. "But the nanny said to give them to my wifey. You are my wife. So I give them to you." Ne grinned.

Well, the logic was not wrong. Indeed, usually, some of the mother-in-law’s belongings would be inherited by her daughter-in-law. Bai Xifeng could not deny the fact but she thought it was not right.

"I can not accept your mother’s belongings, Longwei since I am not your wife." Bai Xifeng tried to push the box back to Liu Longwei.

Liu Longwei rejected it. "You are my wife."

"But..." Bai Xifeng wanted to say more but she saw Liu Longwei’s face which about to cry. "Okay... Okay... I will accept it for now, okay."

Liu Longwei immediately smiled. "You can wear some of them if you like."

"I will think about that." Bai Xifeng said.

"Hmm..." Liu Longwei showed an happy expression on his face. He was even humming a song.

Bai Xifeng was really thinking if Liu Longwei was someone who mastered the art of act. He really could changed his face so easily.
