“Yes.” Bai Jie’s servant, called Ah An, bowed respectfully to She Qi. He made an inviting gesture. “This way, Young Master.”
She Qi smiled and nodded at Bai Jie before leaving.
The Bai family had prepared accommodations for She Qi. It looked very quiet and peaceful.
After bringing them to their accommodations, Ah An bowed respectfully and said with a smile, “My family head instructed us to prepare the best accommodations for Young Master She Qi. If you need anything, please feel free to instruct me.”
She Qi entered the room expressionlessly. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you to prepare a bath for me. I’ve had a long journey. I want to wash up and change my clothes.”
“Yes,” Ah An said before turning to leave.
After Ah An left, She Qi’s expression stiffened. He said coldly to his own subordinate, “What are you waiting for? Don’t you know you have to close the door?!”
The subordinate quickly closed the door. She Qi swept all the teapots and teacups from the table onto the ground, causing them to shatter.
The loud sound made Ah An stop in his tracks. He didn’t need to turn back to guess what had happened.
Ah An changed directions and returned to the main hall alone.
In the main hall, Bai Jie had yet to leave. Instead, he had been waiting for Ah An to report.
Seeing him rushing over, Bai Jie asked with concern, “How’s the situation?”
Ah An’s expression was grim. He lowered his head and said carefully, “Young Master She Qi put up a good front the entire time. But after I left, he immediately smashed the teapots and teacups. There was a huge commotion. It’s obvious that the Young Master is really angry. Family head, why did you reject the marriage alliance?”
She Qi had been very confident about the marriage alliance, but the family head directly rejected him.
She Qi was the vice sect master of the Xuan Sect. How could they accept such a rejection?
Bai Jie glanced at him. “From the looks of it, I did the right thing. How can such a two-faced person be worthy of my daughters? I didn’t like She Qi at first glance. My daughters wouldn’t like such a person, either. Instead of forcing them together only to end up falling out with him, it’s better to make things clear from the start.”
“But Young Master She Qi is angry…” Ah An frowned deeply.
“This can only mean that that man is too petty. Forget it, he’s just a vice sect master, not a sect master. After the birthday banquet ends and we send him away, everything will be fine.” Bai Jie heaved a sigh of relief.
“You are really good to First Miss and Second Miss.” Ah An sighed.
“The two of them were born as witches of White Cloud City. They already bear too much responsibility. If they can’t even choose their own husbands, wouldn’t they be very pitiful? Never mind, you can leave. Don’t mention this to anyone else. Pretend that you don’t know anything,” Bai Jie instructed worriedly.
Ah An nodded and retreated, leaving Bai Jie alone in the room.
That night, the Bai residence was brightly lit. The huge courtyard was filled with guests. In an empty space in the middle, a beautiful female singer was singing. Her melodious voice was like a clear spring flowing in the air.
“Yes.” Bai Jie’s servant, called Ah An, bowed respectfully to She Qi. He made an inviting gesture. “This way, Young Master.”
She Qi smiled and nodded at Bai Jie before leaving.
