"You should still like him."

Jiang Wan snorted, "Unscrupulous merchants, give me back my money."

"What you said is true. The principle of our business is that you are willing to fight and I am willing to be beaten."

Lan Dong said meaningfully, "If you didn't like it, you wouldn't be so nervous. Your palms are sweating."

Jiang Wan glared at him and said, "I've already told you, I'm just nervous. This is my first time attending a palace banquet, so I'm bound to be a bit rude."

The sound suddenly stopped.

Jiang Wan's head was buzzing, and Fu Yan's cold, reserved, and slightly panting voice was swirling in his mind for some unknown reason.

'It's the first time, it's inevitable.'

Lan Dong saw that the face, neck and ears of the person in front of him suddenly turned red, and he looked worried: "I have already changed the fruit wine for you, this shouldn't be the case."

Jiang Wan touched his cheeks with both hands, which were burning hot.

Just as Lan Dong said, there was a thin layer of sweat on the palms of his hands.

"I...no way." The weak voice was suppressed by the noise.

In front, Marquis Wu Ling was surrounded by the crowd.

Jiang Wan took a look and accidentally met the gaze of the person next to him who was staring at him.

My heart suddenly tightened, as if it was tied and tightened by a rough hemp rope. The dense small thorns on it rubbed my skin, making me itchy and painful, and I couldn't breathe.

"Jiang Wan..." Fu Yan squinted his eyes. It was dark, and the candlelight and palace lanterns were not enough to see the person's face clearly, but he still noticed the person sitting there at a glance.

She had noticed it from the beginning and had been observing silently, but she never turned around. Fu Yan was dragged away by the people around her to drink.

At this moment, everyone went to pay tribute to Wu Linghou, so he had some free time and his attention was attracted by the shadow of that person again.

Jiang Wan reacted and wanted to turn around to avoid his sight, but he realized that if he avoided Fu Yan's sight at this moment, it would only attract more of his attention.

If his attention was attracted, Jiang Wan would really have nowhere to escape.

She pretended not to look at him and turned her gaze towards Marquis Wu Ling.

Then he used chopsticks to pick up the turtle meat in front of him.

She is allergic to turtle meat and never eats it.

But today, in order to hide my identity, I had to eat one piece, and also ate some things that I would not eat in the past.

If she really couldn't pick up food with her left hand, she would have wanted to pretend that she was left-handed.

Mr. Lan Dong rolled up his sleeves, poured tea for Jiang Wan and handed it to her.

Jiang Wan thanked him, took the teacup and drank it all.

Taking this opportunity, he glanced at Fu Yan and said, "Ahem..."

You wouldn't know until you see it. She was shocked to find that someone was actually staring at her.

Immortal, please spare me.

Jiang Wan hoped that someone would come and talk to Fu Yan soon, so that he would not be in the mood to pay attention to her.

Jiang Wan estimated that the time was about up, and that those sitting outside the table would be able to leave in a while.

Jiang Wan drank three cups of tea in a row.

His palms were sweaty as he rubbed the fabric of his clothes.

"Why is your face getting redder and redder? Didn't you just drink two glasses of fruit wine?"

Lan Dong poured tea for Jiang Wan again, but the tea in Jiang Wan's teapot had already been finished by her, so he had to pour tea from his own teapot.

"It's all my fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have poured you fruit wine. You should have just had tea."

Jiang Wan waved at Lan Dong while drinking tea, "It's none of your business. I just thought the fruit wine was refreshing, so I drank one more cup."

"If your brother were here, he would probably blame me." Lan Dong said.

Jiang Wan felt even more panicked, "How could that be? My brother won't blame you. Instead, he will blame myself for not having self-control."

"By the way, it's been so long. Is your brother comfortable with you, a girl, staying alone in Beijing?" Lan Dong turned the teacup in his hand.

Jiang Wan said vaguely, "I have been a tiger since I was a child, he won't worry."

"What brother doesn't worry about his sister?" Lan Dong always knew the boundaries and just asked casually. Seeing that Jiang Wan had no intention of talking about her brother, he didn't ask any more.

Jiang Wan kept his head down and took small sips of the tea in the teacup.

Suddenly, I heard Lan Dong next to me say "Master Fu".

Jiang Wanxin paused for a moment, and quietly raised his head to take a quick glance.

She suddenly retracted her gaze. She didn't notice when Fu Yan came. She just wanted to lower her head so that he wouldn't see her.

I didn't expect that this person was right in front of me and I hadn't even seen him.

She lowered her head even lower, remembering how she was caught using cosmetics secretly as a child by adults, and she felt inexplicably guilty.

Lan Dong stood up, holding a wine bottle in his hand, "Master Fu."

Jiang Wan didn't say a word.

The teacup was still in the palm of his hand, it was a small cup, but Jiang Wan tried to squeeze himself into it.

"Isn't Mr. Wan here?" Fu Yan toasted Lan Dong back with a glass and then asked about Mr. Wan. It was obvious that he came here for Mr. Wan.

"Mr. Wan is busy and won't be back before winter." Lan Dong replied.

Fu Yan's eyes fell on Jiang Wan, "Who is this?"

"Ah, this is Wan Lan, Mr. Wan's sister."

Jiang Wan knew that she couldn't hide here any longer, so she stood up and said, "It's my first time meeting Master Fu. Master Fu is just as the rumors say, a man of great elegance and grace."

This is a very common flattery routine. Fu Yan must have heard it so many times that his ears are callused.

Jiang Wan said this on purpose.

I hope Fu Yan will sneer at me.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yan said something shocking, "Although Miss Wanlan has no rumors, she is also a beautiful girl, shining like spring flowers and showing her unparalleled beauty."

Jiang Wan: “…” Haha, thank you for even copying my flattery skills.

Lan Dong noticed something was wrong between the two of them and looked at the woman beside him whose cheeks were flushed.

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Master Fu is really humorous and funny. He is really amazing. Wan Lan admires him."

"Are you awesome?" Fu Yan fixed his gaze on her. "If I were awesome, why would my wife abandon me?"

Jiang Wan: “…” Haha, no need to guess, no need to pretend, Fu Gou recognized it.

Lan Dong: “…” Lord Fu was not the kind of person who would make sarcastic remarks about himself before.

"I have something private to say to Miss Wanlan, please move aside."

Until the two of them disappeared from Lan Dong's sight, Lan Dong still didn't figure out when the two of them knew each other, and it seemed that their relationship was not simple.

But today Jiang Wancai told him that he had never seen Fu Yan before and said he was quite curious.

Jiang Wan followed him reluctantly, knowing that sooner or later she would have to explain things clearly. After all, Wu Linghou was back, and she couldn't keep it a secret forever, unless she no longer recognized this father.

Jiang Wan felt heartbroken when he thought that his free days were coming to an end.

He scratched his neck and saw that he had widened the gap between himself and the person in front of him, but he didn't quicken his pace to catch up.

Fu Yan stopped and looked back.

Seeing that Jiang Wan was far behind him, he turned around and walked towards her.
