Chapter 876: Chapter 876

Yan Yuan was excitedly staring at Bai Chenxi and then at the plate.

Her eager little eyes seemed to say, "Brother, weren’t you going to give me half to eat?"

Why did you not cut it in half, instead you only cut a small piece?

"Want to eat?" Bai Chenxi had already cut a small piece of beef on his fork.

He looked up at Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan nodded immediately like a pecking chicken, staring at the delicious-smelling meat, almost about to pounce and grab it.

"What did you go do today?" Bai Chenxi asked.

Yan Yuan thought for a moment. She went to do her side job, which she shouldn’t let her boss know.

She chuckled, "I went out to play with Mu Chiheng."

Bai Chenxi frowned upon hearing this.

Yan Yuan had already answered his question.

She thought she could eat now.

So, she reached out and grabbed the fork from his hand, feeding the beef into her mouth.

Then she closed her eyes in satisfaction, enjoying the delicious midnight snack.

It took him a while to react, he took back the fork, and continued to slice another piece of beef with elegance.

"Are you two very close?" Bai Chenxi continued to ask.

Yan Yuan quickly shook her head, "No! I met him during military training. He’s nice, better than that lecherous Liang Junwei."

Yan Yuan opened her mouth wide, looking as if she was waiting to be fed.

Bai Chenxi saw she didn’t seem to be lying, so he extended his hand and fed her the beef.

Yan Yuan happily ate the beef. If answering questions means getting good food and drink in return, that would be amazing!

Bai Chenxi cut another piece of beef, his expression cold and stern, "What do you mean by lecherous Liang Junwei?"

"Exactly what it sounds like! That guy wants to take advantage of any pretty girl. I don’t like him," Yan Yuan said, and received another piece of tasty food.

Bai Chenxi nodded knowingly, then asked, "Who do you like?"

Yan Yuan answered without thinking, "I like anyone who treats me well."

"..." Bai Chenxi fed her the meat, looking slightly serious.

Yan Yuan took the opportunity to down a glass of wine, feeling that life was as comfortable as it could get.

In the future, she also wanted to earn a lot of money and enjoy a life of luxury.

After she finished drinking the wine, she noticed that Bai Chenxi had started eating the steak by himself, apparently not intending to give her any more.

But that little bit was not enough to fill the gap in her teeth, she was still hungry!

"BOSS!" Yan Yuan called out to him.

Bai Chenxi continued eating his steak without responding.

Bai Chenxi still calmly ate his steak, not lifting his head.

"Bai Chenxi! aaa..." Yan Yuan opened her mouth wide, pointing at her own mouth.

Only then did Bai Chenxi look up at her. Looking at her quirky expression, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a bright smile.

He cut a large piece of steak and fed it to Yan Yuan, then said gently, "Just be obedient. I’ll make delicious food for you every day."

"Really?" Yan Yuan chewed the steak and nodded quickly, "Okay! I’m very obedient. Then make me fish to eat tomorrow!"

"Alright!" Bai Chenxi gave a rare smile.

Yan Yuan contentedly ate Bai Chenxi’s midnight snack and drank the high-end wine.

The boss is really nice!

If he tried to chase her away now, she wouldn’t leave.

After finishing the steak, Yan Yuan downed all three bottles of wine.

And yet, she didn’t feel even a bit drunk.

Bai Chenxi thought about Mr. Gao, who was fooled that day, and couldn’t help but admire this girl’s acting skills.

It seems that those who crossed her seldom had a good outcome.

Little wonder she could navigate such a complex society with such flair.

Admittedly, she does have a bit of cleverness.

"I’m finished, I’m going to sleep now." Yan Yuan looked around the house, seemingly seeing no more chores to do.

Bai Chenxi called her back, saying, "Wash the dishes!"

"Weren’t you sent to take care of me? You’ve messed up the kitchen so much, and isn’t it your responsibility to clean it? How could we live here in the future!" Bai Chenxi put down his cutlery and took a sip of the champagne beside him.

Yan Yuan’s big eyes turned around.

She was almost exhausted, but she still had to wash dishes, was there any justice?

"I’ll... wash them tomorrow morning..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Chenxi grabbed her by the back of her neck like a little chick and dragged her into the kitchen.

Yan Yuan felt that indeed, there was no free lunch in this world.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Yan Yuan collapsed on the sofa, too exhausted to even breathe.

Only then did she realize that cooking was so exhausting.

Bai Chenxi was on the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Yan Yuan peeked at him from behind the sofa, unable to deny that he was indeed very handsome.

Though they were both humans, his appearance was truly extraordinary, unmatched in the mortal world.

Of course, besides her father and Xi Xi.

She somewhat missed Xi Xi.

Considering the time, twenty years had passed in the mortal world, but only over twenty days in the heavens.

She wondered if her parents and Xi Xi had noticed her disappearance.

She shouldn’t have been curious and touched the thing inside the Heavenly Lantern back then.

Since it was something her parents cared about, it must be exceptionally powerful.

Yet she ended up being drawn into the mortal world by the Heavenly Lantern, transforming from a Phoenix to a chicken, and had suffered through these twenty years.

She thought about the person inside the Heavenly Lantern and suddenly had a shiver of realization: could the soul in the Heavenly Lantern have also reincarnated?

Living in the same world as her?

"If you’re tired, go to your room and sleep."

Bai Chenxi’s voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Yan Yuan rolled up from the sofa and looked at Bai Chenxi, saying, "Give me your hand, I’ll read your fortune."

Bai Chenxi was confused.

This kind of superstitious thing, where did Yan Yuan learn it from?

Seeing Bai Chenxi bewildered.

She proactively grabbed his hand and pulled it in front of her.

She examined the lines on Bai Chenxi’s palm, feeling his proportionate finger bones.

From the looks of it, he seemed like an ordinary mortal, and there wasn’t an ounce of divine fate in this palm.

He shouldn’t be the person from the Heavenly Lantern.

Bai Chenxi, however, furrowed his brow, what kind of girl would hold a man’s hand and keep stroking it?

He decisively pulled his hand back, speaking coldly, "So what fate did you foresee for me?"

"Mortal fate!" Yan Yuan huffed coldly.

Bai Chenxi gave a sneering laugh, "And what would be the fate of an immortal?"

Yan Yuan glared at him, stretched out her hand, and spread it open in front of Bai Chenxi, saying: "Look carefully, slender joints, a single slap can shatter hard objects, bones won’t get hurt, skin like jade, with no palm lines, and naturally possessing a Special Ability."

Bai Chenxi listened, finding it amusing.

But as his gaze fell on Yan Yuan’s palm, the next second, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Because he found that Yan Yuan indeed had no palm lines.

Her skin wasn’t just ice-white, upon closer inspection, it resembled high-grade Mutton Fat Jade, with a luminous white shine.

Yan Yuan wiggled her fingers, saying to Bai Chenxi: "If you don’t believe me, feel my bones, grip tightly and try it out."

Bai Chenxi, half in disbelief, reached out and grasped Yan Yuan’s little finger.

Despite being a small, delicate hand, when gripped tightly, it felt like a diamond, full of strength.
