"She came up with that?"

"Hmm! I never expected Yan Yan to be so talented. 'Yun Hu Bu Xi' is concise and to the point, it's really worth studying!"

Hua Buyu feigned surprise as she spoke, occasionally stealing a glance at the man's expression. Sure enough!

He tapped his fingers absently on the table, his eyes hidden by his eyelashes, revealing no emotion, only his tightly pursed lips, indicating that he was not very happy.

Hua Buyu fearlessly stepped forward and asked curiously, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with this sentence? 'Having seen the gentleman, how can I not be happy?' Isn't it a very romantic love quote?"

In that instant, she seemed to see a flash of murderous intent in her boss's eyes, which made her swallow hard.

"Sweet words? To whom did you say sweet words?" His voice gradually turned cold and terrifying as he stared at Hua without saying a word.

"Of course, it's for the guests!"

"Ha! If you're willing to make such sacrifices for petty profits, then I wouldn't mind shutting you down."

"No! Young master, this is just a promotional phrase, it doesn't mean anything. Yan Yan and I have been working so hard for so many days, you mustn't do anything reckless!"

He ignored Hua Buyu's words and instead pondered them carefully. Today was the day of the King Lie's wedding, and coincidentally, she posted this advertisement. What was she trying to say?

Now that I have seen the gentleman...

A gentleman...

"Sir?"

Coming to his senses, he asked calmly, "Does she know that Yuan Huailie is getting married today?"

"Her? You mean Yan Yan? We found out yesterday."

"So... that's why she came up with this line and chose to distribute it throughout the capital today. As you just said, it's a romantic love confession?"

“Yan Yan doesn’t have any feelings for Prince Lie right now!” Hua Buyu waved her hand, then looked at him with a malicious expression. “Young Master, you’ve been talking about Yan Yan nine times out of ten just now, and you’re so concerned about her saying ‘a gentleman who has seen a gentleman,’ could it be… you’re jealous?”

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh! If you like someone, just say so! What's there to be ashamed of? Besides, you're much better looking than Prince Lie, so be more confident!"

"..."

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Hua Buyu asked gossipily, "When did you start liking Yan Yan? Or, given your current state, Yan Yan probably won't easily like a masked person since she can't see your true face!"

He immediately raised his eyes, his sharp gaze striking Hua Buyu.

"...Alright! Young master, you are really handsome. Yan Yan will fall in love with you sooner or later."

"Are you sure this gentleman isn't Yuan Huailie?" He pointed to the flyer on the table, where the words "gentleman" were prominently displayed.

What a joke! Don't even mention that Yan Yan doesn't really like Yuan Huailie. If she really did like him, and if she really said those words for Yuan Huailie's sake, she would never dare to tell the truth!

"Yes, yes, yes, it's just a simple statement to promote her fame. Don't worry, young master, Yan Yan has no feelings for Prince Lie now."

Is it indifference, or a complete loss of hope?

"No feelings! Without any emotions, how can she be heartbroken? Don't worry, trust me, Yan Yan doesn't have anyone she likes right now. Boss, you'd better hurry, after all..."

Suddenly, she slapped her forehead—she'd got it!

"After all, quite a few people have their eyes on Yan Yan these days."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know, Lou Shenghan has been calling Yan Yan 'Mom' through Little Lou Baobao lately, and he's been coming to visit her all the time. And... the reason Xin Moling and I drew our swords against him at the palace banquet that day was because Lou Shenghan said he wanted to marry Yan Yan as the Prime Minister's wife!"

"Is this true?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Hua Buyu was secretly overjoyed. She knew that the man in front of her was really interested in Yan Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have helped her time and time again.

After a long pause, he gradually calmed down and said, "Your lemons have been stolen."

"what?"

What does this mean? Someone stole her lemons?

"The day before yesterday, Feng Qingyang was leading the fruit into the pass when he encountered a group of people on the way. Some of his men were injured, and Li Mengzi was kidnapped."

Hua Buyu instantly bristled, jumping up and yelling, "Which idiot hijacked my lemon? Don't they know it's sour and awful? Or are they some kind of starving ghost who wants to reincarnate sooner after eating it?"

The man's lips twitched; he knew this woman was going to get angry.

"I should be asking you, who else have you messed with in the past two years?"

"Young master, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting that my enemy stole my lemons?"

"This group of people has the same skills as the people who kidnapped Xin Moyan last time, so they must be from the same place."

"Where?"

He stared into Hua Buyu's eyes and said, word by word, "The Qi Yun Royal Family."

“That’s impossible!” Hua Buyu shook his head repeatedly. “First, I died back then, so he would never remember me now. Second, even if he did remember me now, he wouldn’t know where I am. Third, even if he knew where I am, he wouldn’t only target Yan Yan and my lemon. Young master, could you have made a mistake?”

"What Fei'e found out was only the Qi Yun royal family; as for who they are, it has not yet been determined."

Hua Buyu stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "Could it be... Yun Zhaozhao? That day, when she saw Yan Yan take out a birthday gift and the Emperor generously rewarded Yan Yan, she suffered in silence, which is why she sent Qi Yun, the assassin, to target my Lemon?"

Before the man could speak, she continued her analysis: "That doesn't make sense either! Yan Yan was kidnapped before the birthday banquet, and besides, Yun Zhaozhao doesn't have that kind of power in Qiyun!"

"In short, if you want to befriend Xin Moyan, you'd better think about what enemies you have, lest you harm her in the end."

"Isn't it because you're protecting me!"

Although Hua Buyu said this, she was secretly wondering who was targeting her repeatedly? Or was it Yan Yan?

On the other side, Xin Moyan waited until sunset, but Hua Buyu still hadn't returned. So she simply closed the door and told Hongluan to quickly go to Yunxiang Tower to find her. She then took Cailian for a stroll on the street, waiting for them to come and meet up before going home together.

“Miss, since the young master is not here, you should have Sister Hongluan with you.”

"It's alright. There are so many people on the street, and Yunxiang Tower isn't far. We can stroll around slowly; it won't be unsafe."

The main reason was that Buyu noticed she wasn't wearing her bracelet that morning, so she had to make an excuse that she had left it in her room. Since Buyu wasn't around at the moment, she wanted to see if the vendor from that day was still there so she could buy another bracelet like the one she had.

As she was thinking, she suddenly noticed a jewelry stall next to the entrance of an alley, with what looked like many red bracelets hanging on it. She quickly pulled Cailian over, but Cailian suddenly called out from behind.

"Miss!"

"what's wrong?"

"Look, isn't that the young master in the distance?"

She looked up and saw a man's figure deep in the alley. The jade sword at his waist was very conspicuous. It was her brother!

Seeing the figure receding into the distance, Xin Moyan chased after it without hesitation...
