"What are you two talking about?" Yu Mingyi suddenly walked in. Although his voice was bright and clear, his sudden appearance still gave the two of them a start. A group of embroiderers followed behind him.
Ji Yunxi immediately stopped the previous topic, picked up a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. She said casually, "This pastry tastes good. I was just asking her to get some more for me."
Yu Xiaobei felt guilty because of the matter of delivering a letter for Ji Yunxi. She didn't dare to turn around and look at Yu Mingyi. Her eyes flitted around and her face looked stiff.
When Yu Mingyi couldn't see, Ji Yunxi secretly held her hand and gave her a reassuring look. Only then did Yu Xiaobei relax a bit.
She turned around and curtsied to Yu Mingyi.
"Greetings to His Highness the Shark King."
"Okay, you may leave." A happy event makes one in high spirits. Perhaps because he thought his happy event with Ji Yunxi was approaching, his observation ability was a bit weaker than usual, so he didn't notice Yu Xiaobei's abnormality.
Yu Xiaobei turned to look at Ji Yunxi. Then she walked out of the palace without looking back. She didn't stop until she was far away from the palace. She looked back at the majestic and magnificent palace, feeling oppressed. She let out a long sigh and then turned to leave.
"If you like the pastries, I'll send more for you. I'll send you whatever you like." Yu Mingyi held her hand and said affectionately.
"No need. Even the most delicious pastries will become cloying if you eat too much of them." Ji Yunxi quietly withdrew her hand. Yu Mingyi looked at his empty palm and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He pretended not to understand the meaning behind Ji Yunxi's words and waved his hand. Immediately, the embroiderers behind him presented the wedding dress.
"Miss, please try it on and see if it fits. If there are any problems, we'll make modifications." The embroiderer held the wedding dress as if it were a precious treasure. Hearing this, Ji Yunxi looked at her.
The wedding dress was very beautiful. The precious silk was studded with shark pearls, shining with colorful lights.
Ji Yunxi suddenly thought of Feng Xingzhi. If there had been no accident, she should have been wearing a beautiful wedding dress and marrying him at this moment.
"I don't want to try it on. You may leave. I want to rest." Ji Yunxi said as she stood up and wanted to walk towards the couch.
"Let go." Ji Yunxi's wrist was suddenly grabbed by Yu Mingyi. She only felt annoyed in her heart.
"You're not in a position to reject me now." Yu Mingyi said slowly in a low voice.
The embroiderers behind knew this was a sign before Yu Mingyi got angry. They quickly retreated and waited outside the door. The whole room was left with only the two of them.
"You'd better think about Feng Xingzhi's safety." As soon as Yu Mingyi finished speaking, Ji Yunxi attacked him in the face. She was angry and had long wanted to take out her anger on him. Yu Mingyi also fought with her.
Both of them wanted to find an outlet to vent their emotions and showed no mercy at all.
The embroiderers heard the sound of the fight and felt extremely uneasy. When they were summoned into the room again, the room was in a complete mess and the two of them were out of breath. The embroiderers looked at each other in dismay.
"Aren't you going to try it on? Hurry up." Ji Yunxi spread out her hands with a bad tone. She really didn't like the feeling of being threatened.
Yu Mingyi was blackmailing her with Feng Xingzhi's safety. She had no choice but to try on the dress.
"Alright, alright. Your Highness, please go out first. We'll help the miss change her clothes."
"Okay." Yu Mingyi walked out of the room with a straight face. After that, he held his chest and grimaced.
Ji Yunxi's magical power was far above his. He was able to draw with her today all thanks to the divine power that Jiang Yaoji had given him. At this moment, Yu Mingyi was very glad that he had cooperated with Jiang Yaoji. But he also knew that he and Ji Yunxi could never go back to the past. Since that was the case, he might as well go all the way wrong!
"Miss is truly like a fairy descending to the mortal world. She has an otherworldly temperament. This dress looks extremely good on her."
Hearing this, Yu Mingyi walked in and was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The layers of light gauze of the wedding dress were floating. The whole dress was shining with the light of the sun, making Ji Yunxi's skin look like congealed fat and outlining her graceful figure.
The things that had been damaged during the fight just now were scattered around in a mess. Ji Yunxi was standing in the middle of it, like a new sprout growing in a desperate situation, soft but powerful.
"You're so beautiful." Yu Mingyi murmured to himself. Ji Yunxi felt bitter in her heart.
"Except that the waist is a bit big and needs to be modified, the rest is fine." The leading embroiderer said respectfully to Yu Mingyi.
"Finish it within a day. Try it on again tomorrow."
"Yes!" After Yu Mingyi finished speaking, the embroiderers agreed and retreated.
"Yunxi, you're so beautiful." Yu Mingyi approached Ji Yunxi and wanted to hold her hand.
"Stop. Don't push your luck, or we'll all die together." Ji Yunxi's eyes were cold and fierce, showing a determination to fight to the bitter end. Yu Mingyi was intimidated by her eyes and stopped in his tracks.
"Don't worry. I won't touch you before the wedding." Yu Mingyi said angrily. Then he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the room.
After Yu Mingyi left, Ji Yunxi leaned against the table and straightened herself up. It was really tiring to deal with him every day.
Xiaobei came back at this time. She waited until Yu Mingyi had left before entering the room. What she saw was Ji Yunxi's weak appearance. She quickly ran over to support Ji Yunxi.
"Miss, be careful. Sit down and take a rest quickly."
"I'm fine." Ji Yunxi held Xiaobei's hand. "Be careful. I'll remember the favor I owe you. When I get out, I can fulfill any of your wishes that don't violate morality."
"Okay!" Yu Xiaobei nodded.
After Yu Xiaobei left, Ji Yunxi didn't sleep all night. It was rare to see sunlight at the bottom of the sea. Ji Yunxi missed the past days even more.
Listening to the shouts of the night watchman outside, Ji Yunxi tossed and turned in bed. She knew that Yu Xiaobei was about to set off. She was very anxious and couldn't help but get up to check.
I don't know how long it took, but she finally fell asleep. But this sleep was very restless. There were strange scenes in her dream.
"Yunxi, come back quickly." Feng Xingzhi was standing in the sunlight, looking at her with a smile on his face. He gently called Ji Yunxi's name. Ji Yunxi wanted to step forward and hug him, but the scene in front of her suddenly shattered.
"Ji Yunxi, you can only be mine." Yu Mingyi's face appeared in front of her. His confident tone startled Ji Yunxi. She quickly called out Feng Xingzhi's name.
Yu Mingyi knew that Ji Yunxi hated him. He only came to see her when she was asleep. But seeing that she was calling Feng Xingzhi's name even in her dream, his heart felt like it was bleeding.
Looking at Ji Yunxi frowning painfully, he reached out his hand and wanted to stroke her eyebrows. But just as he was about to touch her, he still withdrew his hand. Instead, he infused some magical power into Ji Yunxi.
He looked at Ji Yunxi's peaceful sleeping face, smiling. Then he lay down beside Ji Yunxi's bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Ji Yunxi woke up. She rubbed her eyes. Just as she was about to get out of bed, she saw Yu Mingyi's sleeping face and was startled.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Her movement woke Yu Mingyi up. He looked at Ji Yunxi with a worried face.
"Why are you here? You're really a despicable and shameless villain." Ji Yunxi was in a bad mood when she saw him early in the morning.
