321 I WANT TO KISS YOU NOT TO TEASE YOU edited (1/2)

The main hall where the banquet was being held was filled with several tables that formed a row on both sides, while at the head of the table, regally, sat Elder Dam and Wang Yu.

Carye and Rindy were sitting on Wang Yu's left while Xiao Tianyao sat on Elder Dam's right with Senja beside him.

This arrangement didn't please Rindy at the slightest, she didn't like the positioning, but she couldn't do anything about it because it was grandfather who had arranged their seats.

The tables were filled with laughter, praise and coquettish giggles making for a lively atmosphere. Every now and then, the curious cats would sneak a peek at Senja, mostly because of her purple hair and also because she was the famous granddaughter from the Black Sword Clan.

Carye was all smiles while Wang Yu and Elder Dam were sedate, only raising their cups when someone offered a toast.

Meanwhile, Senja could feel Rindy's menacing glare on her. As she finished her meal, Senja intentionally leaned towards Xiao Tianyao and whispered something in his ear.

And the next moment Xiao Tianyao burst into laughter, the kind that Rindy had never seen before. When had the fellow ever shown any emotions except his usual calm and stoic self?!

Jealous!

That was what Rindy was feeling now, but she needed to maintain her demeanor and could only curse Senja under her breath. When Xiao Tianyao actually started the conversation with Senja, Rindy's eyes traveled in every direction but theirs. She needed to be a good girl tonight, she couldn't let her temper flare up, not now when the engagement would finally be cemented.

”What are you doing?” Xiao Tianyao asked, narrowing his eyes at the girl giggling beside him.

Actually, Senja hadn't said anything, she just blew in his ears.

”Nothing.” She shook her head, still grinning ear to ear.

Elder Dam who watched their banter from the corner of his eyes couldn't help but grin as well.

After all the gourmet dishes had been eaten and all the guests were growing curious about the announcement, Wang Yu stood up and in an instant the noises died down.

They were waiting, despite the fact that they had heard whispers about the purpose of this dinner banquet that had been intentionally spread by Carye that they're to bring to culmination the engagement between Prince Xiao Tianyao and the Second Miss of the Black Sword Clan.

The mistress had made sure everyone knew the highlight of the event tonight, hence there wouldn't be a surprise. Actually, the guests were more eager to see Senja. Since the girl had reached a marriageable age, many families that had sons about her age were waiting for a chance to introduce themselves.
