From that day on, Fan Qingyin's mood improved noticeably, as if the snow on the mountain had silently melted, and the crystal-clear water droplets reflected a gentle light. Her usually indifferent face always wore a soft expression. Although there were no major changes in her expression, she always gave people the feeling of a spring breeze.

His happiness clearly affected Jiang Yu, to the point that Jiang Yu was distracted when meeting the representatives.

When Lanny was led into the conference room by the servant, he saw the person from his dream sitting in the main seat, lost in thought, with a faint smile of joy on his face.

The conference room was bathed in sunlight. The lord wore a high-necked pearl lace top, with layers of lace framing her slender neck. A long, double-stranded pearl necklace gleamed with a lustrous light. She wore a solid navy blue satin skirt, looking elegant and sophisticated.

She seemed perfectly at home in this luxuriously decorated conference hall, equally exquisite and elegant, equally unapproachable. He, on the other hand, despite wearing his most presentable clothes, still looked awkward and shabby standing there.

This left him little time to observe the lord, as the servant quickly announced his arrival. In the instant he lowered his head, he sensed the lord, who had been sitting leisurely behind the table, stand up very quickly.

Jiang Yu was naturally shocked. After she came to her senses, she could still clearly feel her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She saw that the man standing in front of her had an almost identical face to her boyfriend in the real world.

So, is he...? No, he isn't. Otherwise, he should have recognized me the moment he walked in. Besides, the person in front of me has a more youthful look; he looks younger than my boyfriend.

"You...please tell me who you are, what is your name?" But looking at the face of the person she loved, the feelings that she had repeatedly suppressed and buried deep in her heart seemed to suddenly revive, even more intensely than before. She couldn't control her personal feelings and just wanted to talk to him urgently and communicate with him in order to understand him.

"Hello... Hello, Your Excellency. I am Lanny from the Wilman family, and I have come to pay my respects on behalf of the Wilman family." Before coming, Lanny had made countless plans, thinking about how to attract the lord's attention and make her see him and become interested. But the current situation was something he had never dreamed of. The lord seemed very interested in him, and for some reason, she seemed very excited.

“Lanny, Lanny Wilman?” Jiang Yu repeated blankly, then hurriedly introduced himself: “Hello, I am Jiang Yu, the new lord of Hollandpur County, and this is my manor.”

"..." Hearing Jiang Yu's silly self-introduction, Lanny suddenly chuckled softly, with a touch of childishness: "Hehe, Lord, of course I know your identity." Seeing the warm smile on the person opposite her, Jiang Yu felt her mood brighten instantly. She stared almost intently at the other person's face, but quickly realized that it was impolite and might cause misunderstandings. So she pretended to clear her throat, walked back to her seat, and gestured for Lanny to sit on her right. She then instructed a servant to bring tea.

"Lanni, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I believe you already know why I called you representatives from the pearl-collecting families here." Jiang Yu controlled her eyes from constantly looking at the other person's face, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Lanni's hands. Those hands were very different from her husband's. Her husband was a refined and scholarly man, while Lanni's hands were much rougher, with large knuckles, clearly the hands of a laborer who had endured many hardships. At this moment, those hands were neatly clasped together on the table.
