The driver’s side car door was pushed open.
Li Yan’s stern face, obsidian-like bright eyes glimred with an imposing aura. Beneath his calm gaze, there lay the sharpness of an eagle, perfectly embodying the ssage of "keep away."
He tugged at his black tuxedo, and walked towards the passenger seat, stepping in his shiny leather shoes. As he gently opened the car door, a hint of warmth erged from the cold.
Gu Tong lifted her champagne-colored dress and stepped out. The side-embroidered patterns and slightly ancient design showcased a classical charm, while the fitted waist accentuated her graceful figure.
She exuded luxury yet had an air of playfulness and modernity. She hooked onto Li Yan’s arm, with the intimacy of newlyweds.
...
Not far away, a bewildered reporter asked, "Who’s this, do you know them...?"
Reporter A was puzzled, "Surely they’re not so artiste from a family? But, then again, artistes wouldn’t ride the Academy’s car..."
Reporter B frowned, "But looking at them, they’re unfamiliar. Probably from another province, yet their insignia shouldn’t be too minor."
Even without insider knowledge of large families, these reporters should be inford about young officers within the province, being extraordinarily resourceful.
Reporter C, amidst the crowd, was the first to speak up: "You might not know, but he’s the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family, Li Yan. Not related to the Academy; the car’s probably borrowed."
This was all planned by Gong Qingwan to dispel their doubts, allowing them to write reports without restraint, serving her purposes.
To ruin soone, one must spare no effort, using everyone available. This is the malevolence of Gong Qingwan.
Reporter A was visibly intrigued by Li Yan’s status, gasping, "Whoa, he’s the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family, really handso. So, does that an the lady beside him is the wife?" Saying this, he turned to seek journalists knowledgeable of Li Yan’s identity.
Reporter C frowned, "As for the wife’s identity, I don’t know. It’s tough even to gather information on Li Yan, took several days camping at the Li Family to find out."
Staking out isn’t a secret within the journalism circles, hence why Reporter C didn’t withhold the information.
...
The mont of speech.
Li Yan and Gu Tong had already reached the reporter’s area, brushing past them without the slightest intention of stopping.
Only then did the reporters belatedly react, almost diving forward, scrambling to start the interview.
"Eldest Young Master Li, why cancel the engagent? Was it due to lack of feelings for Miss Lin or is there soone else you love?"
"Did the lady know before marriage that the Eldest Young Master Li already had a fiancée? Were you deliberately intervening, or was there another reason?"
"Will the Eldest Young Master Li compete for assets? Will you respect your stepmother, Madam Gong, or were you planning a coup upon returning?"
An array of questions poured forth, unabashedly leaning toward a specific direction, while the shutter buttons clicked rhythmically, echoing relentlessly.
mbers of various families, mingled with a myriad of emotions, directed their gazes, encompassing pity, entertainnt, curiosity, and confusion.
Most notably, there was a prevailing sentint that Li Yan and Gu Tong seed ignorant.
In such a setting, not choosing to enter with Gong Qingwan, but instead arriving alone as a couple, provided ammunition for gossip. Two fledgling youths facing this ordeal likely lacked a way to resolve it.
The families pondered, reporters inquired, and the central spot on the red carpet appeared exceedingly chaotic.
Li Yan and Gu Tong interlocked their fingers, yet remained silent for an extended mont.
