The man, in his early twenties, carried himself with a gentle elegance, and just like his voice, he gave an incredibly comforting impression.
The man took a step inside, gazing around the room. It seed as though he was looking at everyone, yet his eyes clearly showed that he saw no one. Although he wore a gentle smile, there was an undeniable distance to him, as if he were shrouded in a mist that no one could penetrate.
Won found it hard to resist n of this warm nature, and for a mont, they seed entranced.
Dongfang Yi was the first to react, smiling as she approached. "May I ask who you are, sir?"
This person wasn’t on the invitation list. Dongfang Yi wondered to herself, where had this man erged from and what was his purpose?
The man smiled warmly, "My surna is Pei."
Surna Pei? There were rumors that the Pei Family had recently found their long-lost illegitimate son. Could this be him? Although an illegitimate child, he was the Pei Family’s only heir, and the label of illegitimacy hardly mattered anymore.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yi bead openly and said, "Ah, so it’s Young Master Pei, excuse my lack of manners, please take a seat."
She then turned her head and instructed, "Quickly, arrange a seat for Young Master Pei."
An imdiate seat was arranged at the n’s section.
Pei Qinghan’s gaze swept across the room, making the young debutantes blush in admiration. They were at the age where love begins to blossom. Soone like Yan Song, being an unattainable high mountain flower with an already claid heart, ceased to occupy much of their fancy. But this man was different. Dongfang Yi called him Mr. Pei, and these socialites, having been exposed to rumors, naturally knew so of the whispers. There was only one Pei Family in the Capital City with such a surna. Could this be the one?
The matter of the Pei Family finding their long-lost illegitimate son was no secret, and there were whispers that Elder Pei intended to host a grand event to formally acknowledge this son and introduce him to everyone. Though an illegitimate child, his stature was entirely different from soone like Xiao Zisu’s, for he was expected to inherit the family future, and everyone’s thoughts began to stir.
Mo Pianpian didn’t even blink, "I cannot resist such gentle and elegant n... he’s straight out of my dreams, a god among n, a divine idol..."
Yi Peilan rolled her eyes at her and sipped her fruit wine, "This man is dangerous. A word of advice, for the sake of your life and property, keep your distance." She preferred n like Yan Song, those of the ascetic persuasion. Alas, he had been claid by another, but she believed fate still held her destined partner near.
Yan Song’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a cold snort. Always like a shadow, following everywhere. He would protect his woman himself; it wasn’t for this man to steal the lilight.
"Mr. Pei, I heard you grew up in Jiangzhou, what a coincidence. My niece’s wife is from Jiangzhou too. Don’t you know each other?" Yan Nangui raised his eyebrows and smiled, his words capturing the attention of most present, their gazes darting between Pei Qinghan and Ji Yunya.
Could there be an affair between these two?
Just monts ago, she was sweetly intimate with Yan Song, and now she’s claid to be hotown friends with Pei Qinghan. Could Ji Yunya be so sort of idol snatcher? It’s hard not to be envious.
Yan Song’s cold eyes glanced at Yan Nangui. That Seventh Uncle really reveled in chaos.
Yunya’s brows furrowed slightly. From the day she decided to be with Brother Yan, she resolved to sever any ties with Pei Qinghan, for Brother Yan, for herself, and for Pei Qinghan too. With so many eyes watching, the last thing she wanted was to get entangled with Pei Qinghan...
Her hesitation did not go unnoticed by Pei Qinghan. He looked at her standing there dignified and bright, unlike in his nightmares where she lay breathless in a bloody lifeless form. She was alive, no longer part of his life, but he was beyond grateful.
Grateful she was alive, grateful for her happiness, even if it stemd from another man. He envied Yan Song, yet he also thanked him.
How wonderful...
Just watching from afar, seeing her safe, seeing her happy, he was completely content.
Let those painful past lives beco exclusively his mories.
"Jiangzhou is vast. I have long heard of Miss Ji’s great na, yet have never had the fortune to et her," Pei Qinghan said with a smile, his gaze lightly sweeping across Yunya’s face, as gentle as a cloud in the sky.
Yunya sighed in relief. Thank you, she said in her heart.
Dongfang Yi’s eyes flitted between Ji Yunya and Pei Qinghan, her gaze narrowing slightly.
"Alright, stop dawdling, Ji Yunya, are you deliberately stalling for ti?" Song Jinwen said impatiently.
