Chapter 793: The Ji Family Hyping Things Up, She Couldn’t Compare to Si Fuqing No Matter What (2)

Yu Xiheng’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he said slowly, “I never claimed to be a gentleman.”

“Let’s go, let’s go,” Si Fuqing simply grabbed his hand and said, “I have a meeting with Sister Sang about work tonight. Let’s have some fun first.”

Yu Xiheng’s gaze dropped to where her hand held his wrist, pausing for a moment.

Then, he pulled out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to her.

Si Fuqing looked at him.

“New Year’s money,” Yu Xiheng said with a faint smile, “I’ll go start the car. You put on your coat and come down.”

Si Fuqing accepted it.

As she dressed, she petted Little Bai’s fluffy head. “Did you see that? The boss gave me New Year’s money. Where else can you find such a good boss? And you wanted to sully our pure relationship.”

Little Bai: “…”

Its master was beyond help.

It looked at the cash in the red envelope with some sadness.

Why not give gold?

It couldn’t eat cash.

Little Bai nestled into the bag, deciding it would go on strike today as the wing-“dog”.

The temple fair was crowded, with many local snacks, toys, and performances by folk artisans.

Si Fuqing had a great time and returned home only after watching a classical dance at eight in the evening.

After a short rest, she donned her coat again and headed to the studio.

On New Year’s Day, Sang Yanqing was still working. She stopped only when Si Fuqing arrived.

“Sister Sang, you are really dedicated,” Si Fuqing said, taking a seat. “Don’t you want to spend time with your family?”

“Not much family, and I’m divorced,” Sang Yanqing placed a glass of juice in front of her. “The New Year is over, and you have to start working too. On the seventh, Northern State No.1 Middle School will resume classes, and you’ll have the second joint exam. Are you ready?”

Si Fuqing lazily snapped her fingers. “Just aiming for 750 points.”

Sang Yanqing: “…”

She looked down at the schedule. “After the joint exam, ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ will finish airing. You’ll participate in a guest interview program on Starlight TV with other actors, then audition for ‘The Nation’s Heroine,’ followed by shooting ‘The Birth of an Employee’ art group. And then…”

After listening for a full five minutes, Si Fuqing buried her head in a cushion. “So many things to do. Life is hard. Sisi sighs.”

“Enough with the sighing,” Sang Yanqing crossed her arms. “We’re not following the route to gain as popularity as possible I’ve already turned down many of your schedules. You know Huo Shujun, right? When she became top-tier, her schedules were booked two years in advance. Your workload is already minimal. This is nothing.”

Si Fuqing propped her chin on her hand, blinking. “I still need to play games.”

JI Xingzhi said the customs had finally cleared her gaming pod, and it would arrive soon.

She couldn’t wait to see the prosperous Great Xia under Emperor Yin’s reign.

“Speaking of which, I almost forgot,” Sang Yanqing said, pressing her head with a complex expression. “Your team has entered the semi-finals with a perfect record. The finals are in April in Eastern Mulberry. After that, you’ll shoot the movie and prepare for the college entrance exams. You really are…”

Other celebrities were busy with acting, variety shows, and red carpets.

Si Fuqing was busy with exams and competitions one after another.

Sang Yanqing couldn’t help but wonder if this child was born to work.

“Eastern Mulberry…” Si Fuqing frowned. “I need to make more talismans.”

Eastern Mulberry was different from the Great Xia Empire, where the Yin-Yang and Five Elements were prevalent.

Even in the capital of Eastern Mulberry, wandering spirits were everywhere.

Wandering spirits were mostly formed from people who didn’t want to leave after death, but most had no memories.

Once controlled by a Master of Yin-Yang, they would follow orders.

In her past life, Si Fuqing had faced the four major Yin-Yang Master families of Eastern Mulberry many times and knew their methods were very sinister.

Although Eastern Mulberry’s Yin-Yang and Five Elements techniques were brought back from Great Xia by the Fujisan family’s ancestors, they had developed their own path over the years.

They could not be underestimated.

Si Fuqing thought for a moment and decided to bring JI Xingzhi along.

She poked him on WeChat.

JI Xingzhi quickly replied.

[JI Xingzhi]: No problem, Big Brother. I’m abroad right now, so I won’t be paying you a visit for the New Year. Here’s a red envelope for you. [Red Envelope]

[Si Fuqing]: Abroad? Back to Eastern Mulberry again?

[Ji Xingzhi]: No, in the Western Continent. It’s about the LI family’s issue. We’ve narrowed down a few places, and there’s a good chance of finding something. There are few wandering spirits here, but not none. I’ll see what I can find and ask about what happened twenty years ago.
