The moonlight lazily spilled across the octagonal pavilion, a gentle evening breeze rustled, lifting a curtain of fragrance, and flower petals danced along with the girl's light green skirt...

Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes, like a clear lake, reflected the girl's figure, her pupils shimmering with tiny lights!

He raised his hand to touch it, but was worried about disturbing this beautiful moment!

Just watching...

Deeply imprinted in my heart...

The tranquil atmosphere was suddenly broken by a woman's voice!

"Chen Yan, you're here? I've been looking for you for so long!" Ye Ruyan walked slowly over in her high heels. When she saw the girl beside her...

The gentle smile on her face froze for a moment, then relaxed again. "Miss Tongguang is here too!"

Jiang Chenyan's gentle voice betrayed no emotion. "Ruyan, is something the matter?"

"Uncle Jiang asked me to come find you. All the guests have arrived, and the banquet is about to begin!"

"Let's go over there!" The gentle words were spoken to the girl beside him.

"Ok!"

The three of them left the place together!

No one spoke; only the crisp sound of footsteps on the cobblestone path echoed softly in the air.

The banquet was held in the large front yard, with expensive wines and various delicacies neatly arranged on each table!

A beautiful piano melody flowed through the air, melodious and graceful, and the courtyard was completely quiet! Everyone listened to the music in hushed tones and conversed...

As soon as you step into the brightly lit front yard, the air is filled with the aroma of wine and various delicacies, but mixed in with it is a familiar scent.

The little rabbit has the most sensitive sense of smell, and Tong Guang was able to detect even the slightest whiff.

strange?

Would she know anyone here?

She was puzzled.

His eyes searched around and suddenly spotted a figure as cool and aloof as the moon. The man was leaning lazily against the dining chair!

Noble and abstinent!

Suddenly!

He lifted his eyelashes slightly, his gaze meeting the girl's directly. His large, pale hand gripped the wine glass tightly, his knuckles distinct.

A subtle, dark glint flashed in his eyes!

Why is she here?

Were they with that kid from the Jiang family?

When did they meet?

Si Hanye frowned slightly. The reason he didn't want to bring the girl here and expose her to everyone was because it wasn't the right time yet!

Revealing what you care about before a young girl has matured will only put her in danger!

He longed to shelter the girl under his wing, keeping her from the darkness and wickedness of the world.

But he also knew very well how resilient and strong the girl was; she would not and would not be a subservient person who lived off a man…

She is free-spirited, bright, and radiant! Only by becoming truly strong can one calmly face all unknown dangers.

What girls want is an equal partner, not just a pretty face.

What Si Hanye needs to do is to silently accompany her as she grows!

Little girl, do you know what the consequences will be if you get involved with the chosen ones of super families?

That will only make you a target of public criticism.

Si Hanye closed his eyes briefly, his long eyelashes concealing his turbulent emotions, and tilted his head back to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp...

As he tilted his head back, his sexy Adam's apple bobbed slightly, swallowing all his thoughts along with the wine.

When she opened her eyes again, her clear, cold gaze was completely calm, like a deep, still pool.

In just a moment, he withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the other person, appearing indifferent and distant as if he were a stranger.

Fu Ting glanced at the man beside him. He understood his master's thoughts, lowered his head and sighed softly, pretending not to recognize him.

Bai Wanning smiled and took a sip of red wine, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. Of course, she shared Han-gege's opinion!

Tong Guang was momentarily surprised when she saw Si Hanye and the other two. She hadn't expected that the banquet they were attending would be at the same place as hers.

What a coincidence!

The man's indifferent expression was like a thorn stuck in her heart, causing both bitterness and pain.

Her bright pink eyes dimmed slightly. In his eyes, she was indeed an unimportant person. Even if they met now, he would pretend not to know her. In his heart, she was truly someone he couldn't show his face.

Ah!

Tong Guang sniffed, exhaling all her frustration, and turned away from him.

Since he treats me like a stranger, then I don't know him at all.

In the end, they'll both be from two different worlds anyway! Let's just consider that day coming sooner than expected.

"Brother, we're here!" Jiang and Qiao waved and shouted excitedly.

Jiang Chenyan smiled slightly, looking tenderly at the girl beside him, "Then let's go!"

Seeing Jiang Yuqiao, Fu Tingsi, and Han Ye at the same table, Tong Guang pouted, feeling a hundred times unwilling...

Before she could say no, her small hand was grasped by a warm, large hand, and Jiang Chenyan pulled her over.

Their every move, every smile, was like that of a sweet young couple, making people quite envious!

Si Hanye's gaze was fixed on the two people's clasped hands, as if a layer of ice had formed on them, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped several degrees.

This kid actually dared to hold his little girl's hand, and he even smiled so slyly. He knew that no one who wore glasses was a good person; they were all scumbags.

How dare they bully his innocent and adorable little girl!

We must find a chance to teach that Jiang kid a lesson!

Filled with resentment, the person could do nothing but lower their eyes, pour themselves another glass of red wine, the blood-red liquid swirling in the clear stemmed glass, releasing a rich aroma...

He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, but the liquor turned out to be extremely bitter. As it flowed down his throat into his stomach, it brought with it a burning, stinging sensation.

Fu Ting sat to the side, a vein throbbing on his forehead. Was his master drowning his sorrows in alcohol?

He felt somewhat helpless; the Jiang family's son could only hope for the best.

Of all people to provoke, she had to provoke the beloved darling of the Azure Emperor Si Hanye, who cherished her dearly and treated her with utmost care.

After a pause, Fu Ting couldn't help but whisper, "Master, why don't you have some food?"

Si Hanye's gaze darkened slightly as he glanced at Fu Ting, but he did not reply.

No wonder he was so angry. He hadn't even had a chance to taste the delicious little snacks he had carefully prepared before the brat had beaten him to it. How could he not be furious!

As soon as the three of them sat down, Jiang Chenyan nodded slightly to Si Hanye and Fu Ting as a greeting.

Ye Rufeng's thoughts had been on Bai Wanning. Only when his younger sister sat down beside him did he turn his gaze to Ye Ruyan and see her forlorn expression.

Ye Rufeng sighed and gently patted his sister's shoulder to comfort her.

Looking up and meeting her brother's warm gaze, Ye Ruyan forced a bitter smile. Her already slender figure appeared even more frail... making her look pitiful!

They, brother and sister, really are in the same boat!

Bai Wanning's beautiful eyes swept between Tong Guang and Jiang Chenyan, and then she glanced at Ye Ruyan.

As clever as she is, she has already noticed some clues!

What a lot of fun!

It seems even fate is on her side...
