"This is... the daughter of an old friend of our Wen family. Her surname is Yun and her given name is Wu."

Mrs. Wen paused and introduced Yun Wu to Jiang Yanzhi. She had a decent smile on her face and looked at Yun Wu with a kind and friendly look.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but Mrs. Wen did not mention the fact that Yun Wu and Wen Jingnian were engaged in front of outsiders.

Wen Siyu glanced at Madam Wen with some dissatisfaction, then took Yun Wu's arm and said with a smile:

"Sister Yun is engaged to my brother, and she's my future sister-in-law."

Yun Wu's fair cheeks turned red. She lowered her eyes with a shy look, and clenched her sleeves with her hands nervously.

I don’t know if it was because Wen Siyu mentioned her engagement with Wen Jingnian that made her shy, or because she said it in front of Jiang Yanzhi…

"So this is ah……"

Jiang Yanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking normal, as if he didn't care much.

He lowered his eyes and saw Wen Siyu holding Yun Wu's arm, then frowned slightly.

tsk...

The Jiang Mansion was right next door, and Jiang Yanzhi was Wen Jingnian's classmate in military school, so Wen Siyu had seen Jiang Yanzhi several times and could be considered an acquaintance, but they were not very close.

Wen Siyu pretended not to notice Mrs. Wen's eyes that hinted at her to say more, and just called out "Young Master Jiang" as Yun Wu did to greet him.

"Yanzhi is now a military officer, and is in charge of several docks under the Wen family. I came here today to inform you."

Mrs. Wen said with a smile, and she felt somewhat satisfied when she looked at Jiang Yanzhi.

Although he has a bad temper, he is the youngest son of Governor Jiang and now serves as a military advisor, so his status and position are naturally beyond doubt.

She began to think about it. If she could arrange a marriage between Siyu and the Jiang family, it would be possible...

"It's almost time for lunch, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving."

Mrs. Wen said with a smile, but Jiang Yanzhi did not rush to agree.

Because of Jiang Yanzhi's presence, Yun Wu felt inexplicably flustered and guilty. She took this opportunity to speak:

"Aunt, since there are guests here, I will go back first--"

"Sister Yun, please don't leave. You haven't had lunch yet, right? It's a good opportunity for you to stay and eat. I haven't had a meal with you for a long time."

Wen Siyu muttered softly, pulling Yun Wu's arm and looking at her with pleading eyes.

"Well, then..."

Yun Wu had no choice but to agree. She thought that Jiang Yanzhi was now a military officer, so he should be very busy and probably didn't have time to stay for dinner.

As long as he is not here, everything will be fine... Yun Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The adjutant who followed Jiang Yanzhi took half a step forward and was about to speak up to politely refuse on behalf of his young master, but he heard the young master actually agreed.

"Then...I'll trouble you, Aunt Wen."

Jiang Yanzhi said this, and casually took off the hat on his head and handed it to the adjutant.

The adjutant stared at Jiang Yanzhi blankly. Didn't he remember that his young master hated visiting other people's homes? Why did he agree now...

"What trouble are you talking about? You and Jingnian were classmates before, and our two families will have more interactions in the future."

Mrs. Wen's smile deepened, and she quickly called the servants to the small kitchen to ask them to add more delicious dishes.

Yun Wu was completely stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Yanzhi to actually stay, and she didn't know what his plan was.

Yun Wu was feeling anxious and only hoped that Jiang Yanzhi would behave himself...

When the servants were setting the table, Master Wen just came back, and the five of them sat at the round table to have lunch.

Mr. Wen naturally sat together with Madam Wen, Wen Siyu sat next to Madam Wen, and Yun Wu happened to sit next to Jiang Yanzhi.

Although Mr. Wen is a businessman, he looks gentle and amiable.

"I haven't seen Yanzhi for a long time. Now he has become a military officer. He is really young and promising."

Mr. Wen drank some wine, his face flushed as he raised his glass towards Jiang Yanzhi and drank it all in one gulp.

"Uncle, you are too kind. I just followed my father and got some of his fame."

Jiang Yanzhi said with a smile, the military uniform he was wearing made him look much more serious.

Yun Wu sat next to him, eating in small bites with her eyes lowered in silence, then quietly turned her head to glance at Jiang Yanzhi.

Because his family has foreign ancestry, his facial features are three-dimensional and beautiful. If you don't mention the things he has done, you would think he is a steady and cold person.

But Jiang Yanzhi's nickname "Little King of Hell" is well-known in North City, and he is not as simple as he looks.

Yun Wu quickly withdrew her gaze, sat down properly and ate her meal slowly.

At the dinner table, only Mrs. Wen was still talking with a smile about Wen Jingnian's time in the military academy, perhaps just to have a topic to talk about.

Jiang Yanzhi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but his attention was focused on the girl next to him who was wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam.

The cheongsam Yun Wu was wearing was conservative in style and very plain in color, but it looked particularly beautiful on her.

She was taught by her family to follow the rules since she was young, and now she eats very quietly, except that when she eats her favorite dishes, the corners of her lips will slightly rise, and her almond-shaped eyes will narrow slightly as if in satisfaction.

Yun Wu was a little nervous at first, but Jiang Yanzhi only replied to Master Wen and Madam Wen occasionally, and nothing else happened.

She gradually calmed down and ate her meal in silence, but something seemed wrong as she ate.

Who is that person hooking her calf under the table? !

"Cough cough..."

Yun Wu was eating when she suddenly turned her head to the side and covered her lips with her hands, coughing softly twice. Her fair face gradually turned red.

"What's wrong? Did you choke?"

Wen Siyu asked hurriedly, and even Master Wen cast a concerned look at him.

Yun Wu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she nodded weakly twice with her eyes blinking.

"No, it's okay..."

"Drink of water."

Jiang Yanzhi pushed the teacup towards Yun Wu, and looked at her with his light eyes, making her heart tremble.

"Thank you...Master Jiang."

Yun Wu said with her eyes lowered, and quickly picked up the teacup and drank some water.

To others, this was just a trivial matter, so no one paid much attention to it.

While no one else at the table was looking over, Yun Wu lowered her head and quietly took a peek under the table.

I saw the man sitting next to her gently hooking her calf with his clean and shiny boots, and then slowly putting his foot down.

But he did not retract his legs. He stepped carelessly on the ground, with his calves pressed tightly against Yun Wu's calves.

Yun Wu's eyelashes trembled, and she quickly retracted her legs to avoid it. She held the chopsticks nervously, afraid that someone would notice something.

"Yanzhi, eat more. You're welcome."

Mrs. Wen said this with a smile on her face. Because the Wen family did not like servants to be present when they dine, there was no one else around, so naturally no one noticed the clues under the table.

"I remember what people like to eat nowadays...something Western food. I don't know if our home-cooked meals will suit your taste."

Jiang Yanzhi readily responded to Madam Wen's words, but he stretched his legs over the table and rubbed Yun Wu's calf.

What on earth does he want to do!

Yun Wu poked the rice with chopsticks in anger. For the first time, she almost lost her composure as a lady.

She still couldn't help but secretly glared at Jiang Yanzhi, but she was born delicate, with a pair of watery almond eyes, so the glare at him didn't have much killing power.

On the contrary, Jiang Yanzhi thought it was... weirdly cute.

He put down his chopsticks and took a sip of wine, his thin lips tightly pursed and his eyes looked a little darker.

"Yanzhi, I heard that your brother will be returning to North City soon..."

The drunk Master Wen spoke to Jiang Yanzhi incoherently.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanzhi didn't do anything else. After being glared at by her, he retracted his legs and sat down properly.

He also took advantage of the time when Madam Wen and Wen Siyu were persuading Mr. Wen not to drink to quietly move Yun Wu's favorite dishes on the table closer to her.

Yun Wu's earlobes were still slightly red. She glanced at Jiang Yanzhi cautiously, then hummed to herself in her heart.
