So, when Gu Ruanruan said that her husband hadn’t co and she didn’t feel like dancing with anyone else, she pulled Gu Yu to dance one song, and then Gu Yu got tangled up.
He also knew that Gu Ruanruan had surely agreed to fulfill her duties, she didn’t like this kind of party, but Gu Zilan and Luo Manya would still make her occasionally attend these events to show her face.
This was also a compulsory course for mbers of the Imperial Family.
As the song ended, Gu Ruanruan let go of her makeshift partner Gu Yu and left, but then Gu Yu couldn’t find his sister Xiaoyan.
Su Wan asked, "Didn’t you send Xiaoyan a ssage?"
Gu Yu: "I did send her a ssage, she said she was chatting with friends, but when I asked her where she was, she wouldn’t tell ."
Su Wan thought for a mont and said, "As long as she’s still at the reception, nothing will happen, and in half an hour, you can call her to go ho together."
"Alright."
Actually, at this ti, Gu Yan was on her way to find Bai Li, she had sent him a ssage, and then she walked to the back garden to wait for Bai Li.
There were too many people in front, it was noisy and quite annoying.
Hearing footsteps, Gu Yan turned around happily, only to find that the person coming was not Bai Li, but Mu Feng.
This kind of reception was sothing Mu Feng originally wouldn’t have the qualifications to attend, but because he was now a distinguished junior of the Mu Family, the family intentionally wanted Gu Lei to help him out.
Previously, Gu Lei, Gu Qingyu, and Su Xiaoge had all said that they were willing to support the distinguished descendants of the Mu Family.
But they themselves would no longer be subject to any restrictions of their family.
And giving Mu Feng a chance to attend such an upscale reception was still okay.
Mu Feng also took advantage of this occasion to make connections with high-level individuals, and he had noticed Gu Yan from early on, but he knew that the first song Gu Yan would definitely dance with her brother, she would surely not dance it with him.
However, what Mu Feng did not expect was that Gu Yan’s first dance had, unexpectedly, been with an Insectoid!
A thought arose in his heart, if he had been a bit bolder at the ti, might Gu Yan have agreed to dance with him?
But then, Mu Feng no longer had a chance, seeing now that he finally found Gu Yan sitting alone, he imdiately walked over.
"Gu Yan, why are you sitting here?"
"Oh, it’s nothing, just tired from dancing, I ca here to sit for a while." Gu Yan actually didn’t have a good impression of Mu Feng, partly because of Luo Xixi, and partly... because this person had no sense of subtlety, and yet still ca over.
Mu Feng was a bit nervous, with his fists loosely clenched as he walked over, not sitting directly beside Gu Yan, but saying, "Gu Yan, about the matter with Luo Xixi, I’m really sorry, she wasn’t like this before, she didn’t act this way when other girls approached ."
Gu Yan imdiately said, "I haven’t approached you, although we know each other, we can count the words we have exchanged on one hand."
Mu Feng: "I know, my example was inappropriate, but it’s not important now, I’ve already dissolved my engagent with Luo Xixi."
Gu Yan frowned, what does your broken engagent have to do with ?
Mu Feng, looking at Gu Yan, thought she looked good even when frowning, rembering past events, he said with a bit of anticipation, "Gu Yan, you won’t be angry with because of what Luo Xixi did, will you?"
With a frown, Gu Yan lifted her head, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I..."
Just as Mu Feng was about to express the joy in his heart, soone ca over and naturally sat down beside Gu Yan... because Gu Yan was seated on a long bench.
And this person just happened to block between Gu Yan and Mu Feng.
Seeing Bai Li, the displeasure in Gu Yan’s eyes imdiately dissipated, sparkling with light, but because there was a stranger present, she didn’t blurt out the usual "Brother Little Mushroom."
"Bai Li, you’re here."
"Mmm." Bai Li nodded slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Mu Feng.
Bai Li sat down with Gu Yan, and Mu Feng stood beside them. At first glance, it appeared as if he were a servant attending to a young master and mistress.
Mu Feng’s expression was a bit grim.
Why is this Insectoid everywhere?
He didn’t even dare to sit directly next to Gu Yan!
Bai Li quietly watched Mu Feng, "Is there sothing you need?"
"I..." Mu Feng clenched his teeth, and finally said bluntly, "Gu Yan, I’m no longer involved with Luo Xixi. I, I’m single, ah!"
Suddenly, a strong spiritual power attack ca, causing Mu Feng’s legs to go weak, and he stumbled and knelt down, facing Gu Yan and Bai Li at that.
Gu Yan was startled, she quickly stood up anxiously, looking around, "What happened?"
Bai Li got up steadily and unhurriedly as well.
On his part, Mu Feng felt extrely embarrassed and hastily stood up. He looked around warily and then said, "Sothing doesn’t seem right, there are external enemies. I need to report to the officer. There should be a private rest area upstairs for you, it’s safe – you should hurry up there."
"Okay."
Gu Yan readily agreed to him, and then, seeing Mu Feng turn and walk away to report to soone, she tugged at Bai Li’s sleeve and whispered, "Brother Little Mushroom, it was you, wasn’t it?"
Bai Li didn’t deny it, "He was too annoying."
"Mmm, I didn’t find him annoying before, but now I feel he’s quite lacking in self-awareness, insisting on sticking around. Brother Little Mushroom, he’ll co back later. Let’s go, we should find another place."
"Okay."
Gu Yan did know that their family’s private rest area would definitely be quieter. People like Mu Feng couldn’t go there, but what if they ran into her parents or brothers?
So they went straight to the rooftop terrace. The wind was a bit strong, Bai Li took off his suit jacket and draped it over Gu Yan.
Gu Yan drew the jacket around her, "Aren’t you cold?"
"Not cold."
"I’m actually a bit cold. Ah, my constitution isn’t strong enough. Military training starts the day after tomorrow, and although our academy’s training won’t be as strict as the military academies’, it’s definitely still going to be tough."
"Xiaoyan, actually, you don’t have to do the military training if you don’t want to."
Gu Yan shook her head, "No, no, that won’t do. I’m already physically weaker than many others. If I’m lazy now, I’ll only fall further behind the others."
"But you don’t have to beco a Star Warrior in the future."
"I know, but I still need to be physically fit, so I won’t be a burden to my family," Gu Yan said, lifting her head as the breeze gently lifted her long hair.
She said, "When my mother was young, she suffered a serious injury and was in worse condition than I am now. At that ti, she hadn’t evolved into a Beastman, but she never gave up either. Actually, I’m much more fortunate than my mother was when she was young."
"I’m doted on by my parents and brothers and have always had your help. I’m very happy."
Bai Li watched the girl raise her head, her eyes sparkling with starlight. Suddenly moved, he leaned down and ca closer.
He left a kiss on the bright-eyed girl’s forehead.
