Chapter 220 – Stop

" Y…Yu D…Dong? What are you doing here?" Fang Chi was stunned, when he heard that someone was knocking on the door he thought that it was the old grandma from the neighbourhood, she would often come to their house in the morning and have tea and gossip a little with his grandmother. That was how his days went by and he thought that today was no different that was why he wasn't prepared for Yu Dong to turn up on his door when he opened it. He was so surprised that he started stuttering!

Yu Dong knew that she was at the fault for turning up unannounced so she smiled and ignored the extra syllables that Fang Chi had added in her name " I was going to the town, so I thought that maybe I should take you with me? If you are not busy would you like to come with me?"

" I-" Fang Chi looked at Yu Dong who was dressed in resplendent clothes with her hair tied neatly in a long ponytail then he looked at his tattered appearance and felt aggrieved, why didn't she tell him that she wanted to take him to the town the last time when they were together? Now he showed her … this shabby appearance of his! Even his hair wasn't combed and resembled a bird's nest! He had been up and about working around in the backyard that he completely forgot about how to take care of his hair or clothes.

He wanted to refuse and say that he will go with her tomorrow but before he could, Grandma Fang who was busy in the backyard rushed ahead and slapped him on the back as she loudly exclaimed " of course, he will, we were just discussing that we needed to buy a few things for your wedding. Now, that you are here, you can help Chi buy those things, he has been nothing but a pain in my butt saying that he doesn't want this or that- he just can't make up his mind regarding the gifts he wants to bring to your house" she turned to look at Fang Chi who has gone very red in the face and smiled " this is good, Chi. Now you can pick all the gifts you want for Yu Dong with her, and if she is with you then you won't have to worry about whether or not she will like it"

Fang Chi looked like he wished he could shut his grandmother's mouth but because he was a very filial grandson, he could only watch his grandmother sprout out his secrets one after the another, with an embarrassing smile he looked at Yu Dong who didn't tease him. She knew very well how it feels when grandparents or parents exposes the secret of their kids. Her dark history too was shared by her grandmother very often- sometimes Yu Dong would get so embarrassed that she wished the world would end, little did she know that it will end. Anyway, she cleared her throat and looked at Grandma Fang " sure why not" then turning around to look at Fang Chi, she smilingly added " why don't you get ready? We will leave after you are done?"

" Ah .. ah .. yes!" Fang Chi, who once again remembered that he was standing in front of his fiancée looking like a homeless beggar and hurried inside, what was going in his head? He should have left the second Yu Dong arrived! At least she wouldn't have noticed what kind of bumbling idiot he was in the morning.

Once he was gone, Grandma Fang's face turned serious and the smile on her face slipped off. Yu Dong noticed the change in Grandma Fang's attitude, she frowned slightly and asked " Is something wrong?"

Grandma Fang looked around the surroundings, once she affirmed that no one was there, she parted her lips and slowly whispered " Mu Yuxi have been coming here a lot lately"

When Yu Dong heard Mu Yuxi's name her scowl deepened even more " she is coming to visit you?"

Grandma Fang shook her head " She comes at the foothills of the mountain very often and particularly at night" rubbing her face with her withered hands, the old grandma sighed " At first I didn't notice, she isn't the only one who comes up here. This area is particularly safe and many small animals come here, so villagers like to set traps here. I thought that the Mu girl was coming here for the same reason but then I noticed just how diligently she comes here, I don't want to create unnecessary drama with her because that will affect Chi's reputation too after all the Mu girl comes at night and that's enough to ignite some gossip mongrels. That girl never hunts or tries to come and visit this old woman, she just stands at the foothill like she is waiting for someone to come down"

Yu Dong was so frustrated that she nearly bit her tongue, of course, Mu Yuxi would try to get herself entangled with Fang Chi when the latter was engaged with her. That woman was vain and selfish, Fang Chi was like a toy that she no longer wanted and dumped him on the shelf so that no one would play with him anymore, it wasn't that her old love for Fang Chi was inflamed once again it was just that she didn't like losing something that once belonged to her. Even if she didn't want it anymore and – there was also the fact that she and Mu Yuxi had some friction between the two of them, if Fang Chi got entangled with Mu Yuxi even if there was a misunderstanding than – Yu Dong will be the one who will be embarrassed.

Grandma Fang gave her a worried glance " I think it's a good thing that I barred Chi from going out of the house until the day of his wedding.. I really don't know what's going on in the head of that girl". She sighed once again and patted Yu Dong on the shoulder " But don't worry my Chi is a very good boy, he won't let you down in any aspect but I think it will be good if you two get married soon! That is why I have picked the seventh of the next one, its an auspicious day and the astrologer said that if you two get married on that day, you will be blessed with lots of children"
