Thinking this, Xuanyuan Qing’s heart was thoroughly clenched.
Raising his cup again, he drank down another glass of wine.
At this mont, he saw Su Yan suddenly stand up and whisper a few words into Yu Wenxu’s ear.
Then, she left her seat.
Almost uncontrollably, Xuanyuan Qing also stood up.
He knew, this was his only chance to be alone with her.
Clutching his fists, he couldn’t help but glance in Yu Wenxu’s direction.
As if he had made up his mind.
Following, he left his place.
What was Su Yan up to?
Well... she ate too much, and the table was again serving the third round of dishes.
No one else had eaten as much as she had.
So, she planned to step out for a while, to take a break, before returning to continue eating.
Walking around, she found herself in the Imperial Garden.
The peonies in the Imperial Garden, one by one, were dazzlingly bright and beautiful.
Under the moonlight’s cloak, if you listened closely, you could even sll the faint scent of the flowers.
Yes, ...it really does sll wonderful.
While thinking this, Su Yan bent down.
She examined them closely for a mont.
This scene, viewed from a distance, was incredibly beautiful.
A woman in white, amidst a garden full of flowers, eyes lowered and sniffing delicately, with a faint smile.
Under the moonlight, she was like a fairy descended.
It’s just that this fairy was a bit different...
Out of the blue, the ’fairy’ suddenly opened her mouth, and chomp—she bit off more than half of the peony flower.
Petals fell all over the ground.
On the stem of the peony, a few petals remained, shivering in the cool breeze.
Su Yan stood up as if nothing unusual had happened.
Chewing carefully.
Well, the taste is still quite ordinary.
No different from the flowers in the Prince Mansion.
Her eyes scanned the surroundings, hmm, there seed to be nothing else to eat.
She had already stayed outside for a while; perhaps it was ti to go back and continue eating?
After thinking it over, she decided to return.
But after taking only a few steps, she saw a man wearing barbarian clothes coming down a small path.
Su Yan didn’t pay him much attention and continued walking forward.
However, the man’s eyes brightened upon seeing her.
Then, he stood still in front of her, unmoving.
Su Yan found it inexplicable and planned to go around him.
But suddenly, she heard the man’s voice, tinged with excitent,
"Miss Su Yan, how have you been these days?"
Su Yan gave him a glance, hmm... unrecognized.
So, she nodded casually, bypassed him, and headed toward another path.
As she moved away, the man beca even more excited.
He tried to reach out to pull Su Yan’s arm, but she dodged away swiftly.
Stopping her steps, she asked, puzzled,
"Is there sothing you want?"
Xuanyuan Qing probably didn’t expect her to be so indifferent.
After organizing his words for quite so ti, he placed one hand over his chest and the other behind his back, performing an apologetic gesture towards Su Yan.
"Miss, I am sorry about the incident that day. It was unintentional, and I did not know that the snake belonged to you."
At the ntion of the snake, Su Yan rembered.
It was this man who put Little Red in a bag and kept throwing it about.
Not just that, but as if he couldn’t understand human speech, he even insisted on breaking Little Red’s two front teeth.
Su Yan responded with a neutral tone,
"Yes, I accept your apology."
She was about to walk away after speaking,
but this gentleman... seed not to want to let her go.
So much so that he quickly stepped in front of her.
"Please don’t rush off, Miss. I just have a few words I’d like to say to you."
Su Yan looked at him and furrowed her brows.
The dishes must be getting cold, right?
She still preferred to eat them hot.
"Speak quickly."
