552 The Worry on Li You Ran’s Mind (1/2)

[I'm no longer the Guan Qing Han I used to be. Rather, I'm a new individual. I'm no longer the daughter of the Guan Family alone. Instead, I'm also the Jun Family's daughter now. Moreover, I'm the sole daughter of the family!]

[I'm born anew. I can groom myself again. I can choose a worthy man and get married if I wish to. And, I can make my own decision in this regard now!]

An entirely new life awaited her in the future!

However, Guan Qing Han's eyes were constantly looking out for someone in the crowd even during such an exciting moment…

And, she eventually found the one she was looking for.

That handsome face was softly smiling towards her with a gentle expression in his eyes! Suddenly, she heard a feeble sound. It resembled a mosquito's buzzing. But, it was extremely familiar to her, ”Qing Han…”

Guan Qing Han smiled with tears in her eyes, and softly sighed. Her face suddenly started to blush, and reddened as a result. But, her heart was brimming with a sour feeling at the same time. There was a variety of mixed emotions in them. She didn't know whether she ought to laugh or cry. It was obvious that she was happy. However, tears were still flowing down her eyes in silence… It seemed as if she was finally parting from that nightmare of a day…

The distinguished guests took their respective seats under Song Shang's guidance in an orderly manner, and waited for the wine-party to begin. This was the same wine which the Jun Family had previously auctioned for an extremely high price. Each table was provided with more than ten jars of wine. This amount was sufficient to enjoy it. In fact, it was more than sufficient. The feast hadn't even begun. However, the strong smell of the alcohol had already set everyone's mouth in action…

Jun Mo Xie was about to move forward when he saw a man approaching him with a smile on his face. This man then spoke-up in a soft voice, ”Third Young Master Jun, could you spare some time? How about a small chat between us…?” This man was tall, and had a handsome face. His expressions were gentle, and his gaze was cordial. Each of his movements was refined, elegant, and thoughtful. This man was the top talent of the capital city. He was the first son of the Imperial Tutor's lineage. And, he had already been determined as the successor of the Li Family — Li You Ran!

”Oh? A chat? A chat with you?” Jun Mo Xie faked a smile as he saw Li You Ran. He then titled his head at a crooked angle, and spoke, ”Do you think there's any room for us to talk? Is there anything left to be talked about?”

Li You Ran faintly smiled in response. His gaze remained fixed on Jun Mo Xie as he spoke, ”Yes. There's much room for a talk. In fact, I believe that it's necessary for us to talk! Moreover, I'm convinced that the subject of our discussion would interest the Third Young Master!”

Jun Mo Xie turned his head to look at this man. Then, he muttered, ”Oh! You're so confident about it?! Okay. Let's talk and satisfy this cherished desire of yours. I must say that having a chat with you doesn't make much sense under these circumstances. But, it will probably be less boring than the people who've assembled here.”

Li You Ran forced a smile; [It seems this guy can even see that it's my cherished desire to have a conversation with him. It's fortunate my cherished desires are only limited to a conversations!]

”It's very noisy in here. Follow me…” Jun Mo Xie said with a mischievous smile, ”I presume that you don't wish other people to hear what you talk to me about; right? Therefore, a quieter place will be more comfortable to have a chat!”

Li You Ran smiled and said, ”Precisely. I'd like to keep the pleasure of disturbing the Third Young Master to myself.”

Jun Mo Xie laughed out loud at first. Then, he turned around, and began to walk while leading the way. Li You Ran tailed behind him, and kept pace with him. They were strangers, but they resembled a pair of close friends as they walked while talking along.

Jun Mo Xie had clearly sensed that the Emperor had gazed at him from a distance when he had turned his head. The Emperor's glance had been too distant to be scared of. However, those deep eyes had contained some incomprehensible emotions…

Jun Mo Xie led Li You Ran a long way away. The two of them crossed a few hallways, and arrived at the garden's pavilion. It was strange to hold a meeting in a garden at such a time of early winter… It could be presumed that this strange thing was happening for the first time in the Tang Xiang city; quite possibly the entire Tian Xiang Empire for that matter…

A dense red cloud had covered the entire sky. The winds were biting cold. However, the pavilion was even windier since the cold breeze was rushing inside the pavilion from all directions. But, it must be said that the area was bright and spacious. In fact, it was indeed an amazing place…

Also, it was the most suitable place for catching a cold!
