Chapter 88 - The goddess is taken (1/2)
Just as when she thought everything was going on perfectly, she bumped into someone else at the door.
Worse still, she did not know how to adress this lady that had suddenly crossed paths with her. She had adressed her as 'mother' before but what about now?
The lady seemed to sense her internal questions. ”Just call me Auntie.” she said.
Wan Jia coughed lightly. ”Auntie, you're here too.”
Her heart melted when she heard the sweet sounding 'auntie' from Wan Jia.
”I came to accompany Xuanxuan, but she isn't here yet.” she replied. ”Little Wan, how have you been? You've become skinnier.” she took Wan Jia's arm and examined it carefully. Although she was still slim before, she had lost a lot of weight in the past few years. Madam Yun's heart ached for her.
”Wanwan.” Lu Aotian interrupted before she could reply. He went over and pulled Wan Jia close to him before leaving with her.
He had nothing against Madam Yun, but he nonetheless hated people from that side. He would not allow those people to get close to his wife.
It was already a very huge compromise that he could Let Yuan have such a close relationship with her.
Watching their disappearing backs, Madam Yun looked at Wan Jia with a complicated gaze...
....
”Just how long do you take to get ready?” Wan Jia scolded her friend when she arrived. She had said that she was getting dressed but took two whole hours to arrive!
”I only took one hour, okay?” she sighed, feeling that Wan Jia was being overly naggy.
”A whole hour? Yun slow-dresser Xuan!” she berated mercilessly, forgetting that she had already broken her own slow-dressing record by taking almost four hours today.
Yun Xuan did not expose her and changed the topic. ”Tell me the good news. Haven't you kept me dangling in anxiety enough?”
”Huh, what's in it for me?”
”Wanwan! You even want a bribe for this? Are we even friends?” Yun Xuan was heartbroken.
”Why not?” she smiled evilly.
”Fine. A box of candy?”
”Nope.”
”Two boxes?”
”Deal.” She cleared her throat before narrating the incident. For a gossipy soul like her gossip-mate, it would be better to include all the details or she wouldn't stop nagging her. ”So, after some small talk, Elder Qian asked to take me as a disciple.”
”What? Congratulations Wanwan, that's definitely worth my candy. You're so lucky.” she congratulated genuinely.
