bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xl

The members of the Liyue Qixing unexpectedly held a meeting to discuss about the suspicious movements of some individuals, Beidou getting involved at them, they had suspected something bad is going to happen. Number one at their list are the Fatui, who have been found strolling around the golden house every midnight. Number two, the abyss order, who have recently been inspected by the adventurer's guild. Then Beidou because she is that infamous captain that the government hates. Ningguang disapproves highly of this since she's alwayd with her and no suspicious actions are done not unless the things they have done.

Inside the Yuehai Pavilion was a very spacious area along with a long table and seats occupied by them. The room was brightly lit up and every corner shone gold platings. The history of Liyue also engraved in expensive stones. At the far end of the table is a bulletin board which flashed the notorious people who give no respect at the Qixing, of course Beidou having the biggest mugshot among the others.

Nevertheless, she found the meeting boring somehow. She sighed heavily as she felt her body getting sore and all of a sudden she wants a massage. After minutes of boredom, she started spacing out, accidentally thinking of lewd things with Beidou. Their discussion still continued, Keqing now started to debate that the Geo Archon will never leave the Liyue in trouble but later on denies the fact the she is his diehard fan.

She now plopped her chin at her palms, looking lost at her thoughts whilst smiling thinly. Keqing gestures Ganyu to look at her boss and mouthed something that said Beidou.

Their attention now drifted at Ningguang when they heard a loud knock on the door. The other members shook their heads as they see the captain waving for her love at one of the small narrow windows but Ningguang was too occupied blanking out. The Tianxuan now muttered something about her.

Ganyu nodged her boss, "Miss Ningguang." she hissed at the corner of her lip.

She blinked and twitched with a start, "I beg your pardon?" she cleared her throat.

The Tianxuan pointed his pen right towards Beidou's direction, "That captain seemed to be a nauseous ever since." he said sharply, frowning, "Oh, I meant to say your fiancée." he clicked his tongue.

Ningguang's eyes twinkled when she sees Beidou waiting for her outside out of the blue so she gave her a smile then looked back to him with a death stare.
There was pure bitter on his voice like he is that one character who will do anything to separate the two just because Beidou is someone they hate, "What about my love?" she rose a brow.

Some of the members gave exchanged looks except for Ganyu and Keqing who have been avid supporters of their relationship. The man scoffed and leaned towards the table, "Ningguang, the tianquan? Falling in love with somebody who disregards the rules of the highest? What kind of fairytale is this?" he said with a tone. Sounding exactly like someone else she hated, Changyin.

She gritted her teeth and balled her fists below the table. No one should ever offend her love right in front of her face, "You have no right to blabber about our relationship for it does not corresponds to this meeting." she snapped.

Ganyu started getting nervous for her so she tried to calm her down, looking over at Keqing for support but she also does not know what to do.

The Tianxuan gazed at Uncle Tian, who gave him one look to shut his mouth but he did not listen, "It does correlates to our meeting. The Liyue Qixing have found out that Captain Beidou is still smuggling illegal goods." he tapped his pen against the table, having that annoying sound filling the atmosphere.

Uncle Tian raises his hand in mid air to stop the arguement going further, "Enough." then he looks over Ningguang, "Miss Ningguang did you fulfill your duty by demanding Captain Beidou the fines? Did she ever pay for her consequences?"
