She Yuyan immediately stood up and bowed: "This humble woman greets the Eighth Prince."

Luo Qianmo nodded slightly, signaling Fang Qingyou and She Yuyan to stand up.

Fang Qingyou avoided Luo Qianmo like the plague, but Qin Nihong was so jealous that she called out with a resentful tone, "Cousin Mo!"

Qin Nihong successfully caught Luo Qianmo's attention, but only received two cold words in return: "What is it?"

Qin Nihong's heart sank to the ground.

She had such deep feelings for Luo Qianmo, yet he was so close to Fang Qingyou, couldn't he at least give her a smile and a word of concern?

Indifference was one thing, but now Luo Qianmo made no attempt to hide his disgust: "What kind of weird stuff did you use?"

His expression seemed to suggest he wished he could kick Qin Nihong away.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou took the opportunity to turn around and leave, intending to leave this place to Luo Qianmo and Qin Nihong.

She had no interest in what would happen between them.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's intention, She Yuyan turned around and followed.

"Cousin Mo, I..." Qin Nihong's tears flowed sadly, her expression was that of a wronged woman who had been abandoned, she looked extremely pitiful.

Qin Nihong couldn't help but be heartbroken. She had been "sick" for so long, yet Luo Qianmo hadn't uttered a single word of concern and instead loathed her so much.

She just has a slight body odor, is it really that foul?

Luo Qianmo's expression remained indifferent; he didn't even give Qin Nihong a second glance before striding away.

He came here because of Fang Qingyou, and now that Fang Qingyou is gone, there is naturally no need for him to stay.

He doesn't care at all about other people's feelings.

Seeing Luo Qianmo chasing after Fang Qingyou, Qin Nihong finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears: "Cousin Mo, how could you do this to me?"

Tears washed away her heavy makeup, leaving streaks of powder that made her face look like a terrifying female ghost.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Fang Qingman angrily slammed her fist on the stone table in front of her.

"Fang Qingyou..."

Fang Qingman's hand hurt so much that she clutched it and gasped for breath before she could finish her rant.

She finally calmed down: "This wild girl, I don't know what kind of magic she has, that has made the Eighth Prince so infatuated with her!"

Fang Qingman was incredibly frustrated that she didn't get to see Qin Nihong tear Fang Qingyou apart.

Of course, she dared not say that Luo Qianmo's arrival was too untimely.

If they had arrived even a fraction of a second later, Qin Nihong would have already slapped Fang Qingyou across the face.

She Yuyan had been keeping an eye on Luo Qianmo. When she saw him following, she tugged at Fang Qingyou's sleeve and asked, "Qingyou, is the Eighth Prince also coming this way? Could he be here to see you?"

Fang Qingyou paused for a moment.

What exactly does Luo Qianmo want to do?

Does he want the whole world to misunderstand him, to misunderstand that he has a special affection for Fang Qingyou?

Afterwards, Fang Qingyou deliberately quickened her pace and walked towards the place where the group of young ladies had gathered.

Luo Qianmo has always been aloof and arrogant. Someone as proud as him wouldn't mingle with a group of women, would he?

Fang Qingyou walked hurriedly, trying to get rid of Luo Qianmo, but as she walked, she suddenly felt that the scene before her eyes brightened.

Because at that moment, a white figure was slowly walking towards her from the opposite side.

Gentle and refreshing, like a gentle caress on the face.

His smile was gentle, like flawless white jade.

She Yuyan also saw the figure and stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Young Master Gu?"

She Yuyan was extremely surprised. Gu Jinyi never attended these kinds of banquets, whether they were banquets for the powerful and wealthy or royal banquets. He had attended very few banquets since he was a child.

Unexpectedly, he actually attended this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

She Yuyan couldn't help but glance at Fang Qingyou beside her. Could it be that Gu Jinyi also came for her?

If that's really the case, then Luo Qianmo is under a lot of pressure.

Gu Jinyi is definitely a formidable rival in love.

She Yuyan looked again at the smile that bloomed like a delicate flower on Fang Qingyou's pretty face when she met Gu Jinyi, and felt deeply that Luo Qianmo still had a long way to go.

"Young Master Gu." Fang Qingyou was pleasantly surprised to see Gu Jinyi.

She knew that Gu Jinyi never attended these banquets, not even royal banquets, so she never expected him to come.

With Gu Jinyi's arrival, she finally had some anticipation for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

Putting everything else aside, just spending some time with Gu Jinyi would make the trip worthwhile.

"Miss Fang." Gu Jinyi's smile became even gentler because of Fang Qingyou's appearance.

Those dark, starry eyes were filled with amazement.

Seeing Fang Qingyou today, he couldn't help but recall the expression on her face when they first met.

Fang Qingyou's figure at that time was as graceful and charming as a mountain breeze, making him unforgettable at first sight. He could never forget that pure and ethereal beauty after that.

Today, Fang Qingyou unexpectedly entered his field of vision and left a deep imprint on his heart.

In that instant, Gu Jinyi felt that he would never forget her in this lifetime, and he could not accept any other woman in his heart.

The moment Gu Jinyi appeared, Fang Qingwei's eyes lit up instantly, but that light quickly turned into deep darkness.

She did see him, but his eyes were still only on Fang Qingyou.

Luo Qianmo's smile was originally faint, but when he saw the white figure, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Gu Jinyi actually came; he really did come for Fang Qingyou.

"Young Master Gu, you have quite the interest to grace this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet with your presence." Although he said this, Luo Qianmo's tone did not convey any sense of welcome.

On the contrary, it made people feel an undisguised hostility.

"Eighth Prince is too kind. It is my great honor to attend this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet." Gu Jinyi smiled slightly, without a trace of nervousness in his expression.

If an ordinary person were to be spoken to like this, they would probably rush to pledge their loyalty to the royal family.

It should be noted that this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was hosted by Empress Qin. Anyone who expressed any dissatisfaction with the banquet would be implicated in the serious crime of disrespecting the royal family.

Fang Qingyou frowned slightly as she watched Luo Qianmo confront Gu Jinyi.

What she worried about most happened.

She was happy to see Gu Jinyi, but she didn't want Luo Qianmo to target Gu Jinyi because of her.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou decided to distance herself from Gu Jinyi, perhaps in this way Luo Qianmo would no longer be hostile to him.

Fang Qingyou was about to say goodbye to Gu Jinyi when she heard him speak first: "Miss Fang, the scenery over there seems quite nice. Would you like to come and enjoy it with me?"

The words of farewell that were about to be uttered caught in Fang Qingyou's throat, and she felt her heart leap with joy in that instant.

She could probably interpret it as Gu Jinyi inviting her to enjoy the scenery together.
