The Young Matriarch - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Taking A Mile When Given An Inch

Editor: Henyee Translations

Duan Xingye felt indignant. “Uncle, I only wanted to know a bit more about Doctor Bai.”

When did he become talkative? He spoke the same as always and had never heard his Fourth Uncle bringing this issue up, ever before.

Towards the silly male cannon fodder, who was nearing his deathbed, Bai Chuwei felt a bit more lenient and smiled as she answered. “We are deskmates. There’s no need to call me Doctor Bai. You can call me by my name.”

Duan Xingye did not even have the slightest hint of hesitation and immediately called out. “Weiwei!”

Duan Feihan’s eyes darkened visibly.

Bai Chu Wei: … Wow, he’s good at taking a mile when given an inch.

Weiwei? Everyone else was fearful of her and called her ancestor out of respect. Who in the world would dare to directly address her by her name?

However, many years ago, there was someone who used to scream his lungs out, calling her name as well. However, that never happened again in the future.

Bai Chuwei’s heart meridian suddenly throbbed with pain and the faint spiritual energy the man radiated, entered her nose. Instantly, she felt alive once again. Breathing in the spiritual energy which he gave out was much more effective than consuming those piles of bitter spiritual medicine!

Duan Feihan noticed Bai Chuwei’s slight change in features and asked in a low voice. “Miss Bai, what’s wrong?”

Bai Chuwei wore a strange expression on her face. Could it be that Duan Feihan had managed to notice that she was in pain?

This Tang Monk was indeed worthy of his reputation and was extremely sensitive to his surroundings.

Bai Chuwei shook her head, then turned to look outside the window. Her satin-like ink black hair swept across Duan Feihan’s wide shoulders.

The Duan Family was located in the forest of the southern side of Sea City. It’s exterior resembled ancient Chinese style, with mountains on one side and rivers on the other. The construction standards could be said to be at the peak of ancient landscapes.

Bai Chuwei’s delicate eyebrows gradually started frowning, it felt as if the road was… inexplicably familiar.

She had lived for five thousands years and her brain had stored too many memories. Could it be that she was mistaken about this?

As the car entered the Duan Family’s courtyard, a vast rockery could be seen. Bai Chuwei thought that if the Duan Family’s residence was used to film an ancient costume drama, it would be extremely fitting.

Duan Feihan immediately stepped out when the car stopped and just as one of his feet was outside, he saw Duan Xingye getting down from the front passenger seat and enthusiastically opened the door for Bai Chuwei. He even carried her bag on her behalf.

His expression immediately darkened. He had never realized that this nephew of his would be so warmhearted towards females.

Before Bai Chuwei was invited to enter, a beautiful figure stepped out. She was dressed in Henghua Secondary School’s uniform. A white shirt and a plaid skirt revealed her slender, and white, long legs, making her look nothing less than a pure campus goddess.

This was the female lead of the novel, Tong Qingyan.

Since it was a sweet and indulgent novel, beautiful looks and good family background was the standard setting for a female lead. Tong Qingyan was a little princess born with a golden spoon and was secretly in love with the fourth young master of the Duan Family.

Oh that’s right, the man standing beside her would be the future villain of the novel.

Tong Qingyan’s eyes sized up Bai Chuwei’s appearance as she stepped out of the car. For someone who had always been proud of her looks, she could not find the slightest sense of superiority in front of Bai Chuwei. Not only that, her demeanor was also incomparable.

It was widely known that Duan Feihan never allowed any females inside his personal car and she had been no exception to this rule. However, she clearly saw this girl coming out of his car!

Tong Qingyan was slightly nervous, but still managed to maintain a normal smile as she said, “Fourth young master, Xingye, you just returned? I came to visit your grandfather and I was just about to leave.”

Duan Feihan had an indifferent expression on his face and he nodded slightly. This was considered as his acknowledgement to her presence.

Tong Qingyan was disappointed. She knew that he had never shown any warmth towards her and the reason why they were still in contact was merely because her aunt was about to marry into the Duan Family.

Her gaze then landed on Bai Chuwei and she asked in a seemingly casual way. “I wonder who is this lady here?”
