116. Misunderstanding

The person in front had a slender physique. Although he had fine looks, an air of arrogance surrounded him. With a mark of vermilion between his brows and gold outlining his white robes, the jewelry he wore glimmered with even greater vibrance, especially along with his lofty chin and pompous expression. It was Jin ZiXuan. On the other hand, the one behind him had a more petite physique. With small steps, she held her head low and said nothing, creating stark contrast with Jin ZiXuan who was in front of her. It was Jiang YanLi.

Wei WuXian thought to himself, I knew that Madam Jin would tell shijie and that peacock Jin to come out alone.

"What's wrong with that?" asked Madam Jin.

"He will just hurt shijie when they're together." said Wei Wuxian.

"He won't." said Madam Jin as he gave his son a look.

"I don't think so." said Jiang Cheng.

The two brothers gave Jin Zixuan a glare.

On the side, as Lan WangJi saw his contempt, he lowered his voice, “What has happened between you and Jin ZiXuan?”

Wei WuXian snorted.

To ask why Wei WuXian hated Jin ZiXuan so much would require a lengthy explanation.

"I can't even explain it for a day." said Wei Wuxian.

"Why does every time I am shown on the screen, it would be nothing good?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"It's because of your arrogance." said Wei Wuxian.

"I really can't understand how shijie fell in love with you? There's a lot of good men out there yet she chooses you." he added.

Jiang Yanli just smiled at him.

Madam Yu and Jin ZiXuan’s mother, Madam Jin, used to be the dearest of friends. The two promised each other a long time ago that if both of their children were sons, they’d become sworn brothers; if both were daughters, they’d become sworn sisters; if one was a son and one was a daughter, then of course they’d become husband and wife.

The mistresses of the two sects had a close relationship. They knew what each other was like, and their backgrounds were suitable as well. Such a marriage was as good a match as possible; almost everyone called them a match made in heaven. However, the two involved felt otherwise.

"My parents could be a match made in heaven, really." said Jin Ling.

"Only if Jin Zixuan wouldn't treat shijie with such attitude." said Wei Wuxian.

"He's too arrogant that he only think of himself ever since the two of them was engaged." said Jiang Cheng.

"I'm sorry." said Jin Zixuan.

"Too late. You already hurt a-jie/shijie's feeling for a lot of time." said the two.

"You don't know how to respect women." Wei Wuxian added.

Ever since he was born, Jin ZiXuan had been a moon worshipped by the stars. He was born fair-skinned and delicate. With a mark of vermilion on his forehead, along with his elite background and exceptional intelligence, he was loved by almost everyone he met. Madam Jin had brought him to Lotus Pier a couple of times. Neither Wei WuXian nor Jiang Cheng liked to play with him; only Jiang YanLi wanted to feed him the food that she made. Jin ZiXuan, however, didn’t really like to pay her any attention. This made Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng yell with anger in a few instances.

Back then, Wei WuXian stirred up trouble in the Cloud Recesses and wrecked the marital engagement between the Jin and the Jiang Sect. After returning to Lotus Pier, he apologized to Jiang YanLi, but Jiang YanLi didn’t say anything, only stroking his head. Thus, Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng both thought that the matter passed. To end the engagement would grant everyone satisfaction. However, the only understood afterward that Jiang YanLi must’ve been feeling quite dejected on the inside.
