A cup of warm tea was handed to Xia Yinian, and when she looked up, she saw a gentle smile in his eyes.
Suddenly, it seed she wasn’t that scared anymore.
"Wait for dinner, drink less, or you won’t be able to eat," Gu Lingqian advised.
"Mhm," Xia Yinian nodded, lowered her head to drink the tea, remaining silent.
When it was ti to eat, her sitting here was just for show, it wasn’t good to leave now, everyone would be coming soon.
Yu Wanqing watched Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian, then suddenly smiled, "Old Madam ntioned that you two are getting engaged next month, I was a bit puzzled at first."
"But now, seeing how good your relationship is, I feel it makes sense to be so soon."
When love is deep, even an engagent feels too much, perhaps even rushing to get married.
Xia Yinian didn’t speak, her facial expression unchanged.
Old Master suddenly stood up, and Yu Wanqing imdiately said, "Are you going to invite Old Madam?"
"I will do it; you young people chat," Old Master left, leaving the two couples.
For a while, the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
After Old Master left, Gu Beicheng lit a cigarette, took the evening paper, and read while smoking.
A thin layer of smoke swirled around his face, making his expression appear more desolate and stern, utterly the unapproachable type.
Xia Yinian just lowered her head, quietly drinking tea, not making a sound.
As for Gu Lingqian, when he wasn’t busy, he would glance at Xia Yinian, also seemingly distracted.
Only Yu Wanqing was left feeling sowhat embarrassed, "By the way, how did Nian Nian recognize Mu Feng as her master?"
Xia Yinian was slightly stunned, really not wanting to speak, but since she was asked, she couldn’t be rude.
She t Yu Wanqing’s gaze, her face still expressionless.
"I t Grandpa Feng at the Feng Family’s place, he asked Professor Qin to teach dicine, but since Professor Qin has been having trouble with his legs, he entrusted the Master to teach ."
"It seems Nian Nian and Mu Feng get along well, you call him master quite naturally."
Yu Wanqing picked up her cup and took a sip, her face always wearing an elegant smile.
It’s hard to tell from her eyes whether she is happy or unhappy right now.
The two talked quite a bit, with only Gu Lingqian seriously listening.
Gu Beicheng’s attention seed to be all on the newspaper, he didn’t pay them any attention from beginning to end.
Yu Wanqing then smiled, "When Mu Feng was studying, besides researching dicine, he’d occasionally play basketball, seemingly uninterested in anything else."
"He doesn’t like socializing, and he would especially avoid contact with won. He could count his friends on one hand."
"It’s rare for him to be willing to get close to you and have such a good relationship."
What Yu Wanqing said didn’t really an much, it’s normal for a master and apprentice to be close.
But, saying this in front of two n who were both entangled with Xia Yinian in so way gave it a strange connotation.
Though perhaps unintentional, the atmosphere seed to grow even weirder.
"Really? I don’t find Master to be so reclusive."
Xia Yinian put down her cup and smiled faintly, "Lady Qing seems to know the Master quite well, you must have been good friends when you studied together, right?"
Yu Wanqing was taken aback, Xia Yinian’s words were also harmless, but she sohow felt uneasy.
She turned to glance at Gu Beicheng, who was reading the newspaper, then looked back at Xia Yinian, her smile elegant yet sowhat forced.
"Our relationship, it’s fine, considered friends."
