The Phoenix Arises Chapter 29.3

Chapter 29 . 3: Curtains Rise on the Welcoming Banquet

With Situ Lan and Situ Jue, Duanmu Xi had quite a good impression of them . When she saw them coming forward to propose a toast, she lifted up her wine cup in response and emptied the cup of drink .

With the two people Situ Lan and Situ Jue to start the ball rolling, everyone then came forward to propose a toast one after another, offering their congratulations, and Duanmu Xi patiently accepted them one after another .

Gradually, Duanmu Xi’s fair complexion was tinged with a faint rosy pink flush which came to lend an additional allure to her originally cool demeanor .

Duanmu Xi drank one cup after another, and a glint of concern flashed in Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes .

“Little Xi, don’t drink anymore . ”

Knowing that Xuanyuan Mo was concerned about her, Duanmu Xi felt a warmth in her heart and the corners of her lips lifted . “Alright . ”

“Your Highness Xi, Yun Han also congratulates you on your safe return . ”

Si Yun Han suddenly stood up, and raised his cup towards Duanmu Xi .

Lifting her eyes and seeing that unfamiliar handsome looking face, the smile on Duanmu Xi’s lips immediately retracted .

“Thank you . ”

Duanmu Xi said her thanks softly, but did not raise her cup .

Seeing Duanmu Xi look at him like a stranger, a flash of panic came into Si Yun Han’s eyes .

[Was she blaming him her? Or was she punishing him?]

“Why is Your Highness Xi not accepting only Yun Han’s toast?”

His voice was mournful and sad .

When Si Yun Han’s words came out, everyone present creased up their brows, with Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo, and Duanmu Qing’s furrowed the deepest .

Duanmu Qing’s gaze was malevolent, her face tinged with green with a vein bulging at the temples .

[Damn this man! How dare he embarrass her in public like this! ?]

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes darkened as he stared coldly at Si Yun Han on the opposite side .

[He likes Little Xi?]

[But he isn’t even qualified to be his enemy . ]

Duanmu Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly and the expression on her face turned chilly .

[Duanmu Qing’s primary spouse? Did they know each other in the past?]

[But no matter what happened in the past, since he has already chosen Duanmu Qing, then he should not hold hope for anything else anymore . ]

“I gave my word to Snowy that I will not drink anymore . ”

Hearing that, Si Yun Han’s body fell limp and he crashed back into his seat .

[She really cares about that young man so much?]

[What about me then?]

[She really doesn’t remember all the good times they have shared in the past?]

Si Yun Han did not hold hope of becoming her primary spouse . Regardless even if he was just made a consort or just a concubine, as long as he has a place by her side, he would be contented . Even that was not possible?

[He had been wrong . So very wrong… . . But why wouldn’t she give him another chance… . . ]
