"You—" Murong Xiaoyi was so infuriated she could barely breathe.
I have to admit, however, that Chen Xiaobei has no reason to help me, especially since I just tried to kill him. Even so, was there a need to be so blunt? You're a man, for heaven's sake! Can't you show a little gentlemanly conduct?
Seeing the tension, Luo Wentian quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Alright, Xiaoyi, this isn't Xiaobei's fault. But Xiaobei isn't a heartless person, either. If you apologize to him properly later, I believe he'll help you."
"Speaking of which, today is truly a fine day. It's rare to have such a lively gathering. Everyone, stay for lunch. Murong Qi, you stay as well."
"Okay, okay, Grand-uncle," Murong Qi nodded repeatedly.
He was now thoroughly intimidated by Chen Xiaobei. Since Luo Wentian had given him a way to save face, he would have to toast Chen Xiaobei a couple of times, no matter what.
