At this moment, the elegant nobleman standing beside Wu Zhihua, dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a meaningful smile on his face, like a peach blossom blooming inadvertently in spring. He said in a teasing voice: "Brother Wu, look at the daughter of the Qin family, she has a graceful figure and excellent talents. She is truly a rare talent. Is there any ripple in your heart?"

While speaking, he not only praised Qin Suyu generously, but also subtly threw a stone into Wu Zhihua's heart to test its depth.

When Wu Zhihua heard this, his emotions suddenly became turbulent, as if he was shrouded in an invisible mist, and he felt a sense of depression.

His eyes involuntarily drifted away into the distance, where there seemed to be a graceful figure of a woman. She was stunningly beautiful and talented, like the brightest star in the night sky, making him obsessed.

This deeply hidden emotion was like a huge rock pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

So, he stood up quietly, and with an imperceptible excuse, stepped into the quiet world outside, trying to escape from this troubled world.

Seeing this, Qin Suyu felt an inexplicable tension and uneasiness in her heart. She stood up involuntarily, with light and quick steps, as if she was afraid of missing some important moment, and followed Wu Zhihua closely.

On the side, Qin Sulan stared at her cousin's back with deep eyes, thinking to herself: This Qiqiao Festival is a time for a good match, why not take this opportunity to let her cousin and the son of Dingshan Hou get to know each other better? Although she had some plans in her mind, she did not stop it, but only prayed silently, hoping that lovers would eventually get married.

"Sir!"

Qin Suyu's voice was gentle and firm, like a clear mountain spring, penetrating the noise outside. She stepped forward lightly, bowed gracefully, and showed her most moving profile to Wu Zhihua without reservation.

At that moment, she seemed to pour all her emotions into this simple call, her eyes flashing with expectation and desire.

Wu Zhihua turned around and faced Qin Suyu. Although he felt impatient, his good upbringing allowed him to quickly control his emotions and put on a gentle mask.

"Miss, how are you these days?"

His voice was calm and slightly distant, as if he was deliberately maintaining a subtle sense of distance, not wanting people to easily peek into his true inner world.

Looking at the slightly deliberate Qin Suyu in front of him, Wu Zhihua felt uncomfortable in his heart, but due to the family's reputation and etiquette, he still tried to force out a warm smile, as if a spring breeze blowing on his face, warm and graceful.

"The music you played today is like the sound of nature, lingering in the air for three days without ceasing. It is rare to hear it in the world. Your talent and piano skills are rare in the world and are admirable."

These words, like a warm spring breeze, gently brushed Qin Suyu's heart, awakening the pure heartbeat and admiration in her youth.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly, with twinkling stars in her eyes. She said modestly, "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am a woman of limited talent and knowledge, so how can I dare to accept such praise."

Afterwards, the two entered a broader world of conversation. From the elegance of music, chess, calligraphy and painting to the charm of poetry and songs, one person deliberately looked for topics, trying to narrow the distance between them; the other responded wittily, showing his knowledge and cultivation. There were sparks of confrontation and tacit resonance in their conversation.

Although they each had their own thoughts, their conversation was extremely harmonious, as if there was an indescribable fate that closely connected them.

Finally, Wu Zhihua's gaze fell gently on Qin Suyu's face. Those clear eyes seemed to contain countless unfinished stories and warmth.

He said slowly, "I heard that the elders in my family are discussing our marriage. At first, I felt unfamiliar and nervous about it. But after seeing you today, I feel that there seems to be unfinished fate between you and me, Miss Cui. If I can marry you and walk hand in hand through the ups and downs of life, it will be the greatest blessing of my life."

After saying this, a sincere smile appeared on his lips, which was a vision for the future and an affectionate confession to the person in front of him.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Suyu's heart felt as if flowers were blooming in spring. Endless joy and longing surged like a tide, wrapping her tightly.

In her heart, the tapestry of fate was quietly manipulated by an invisible force. That unknown fate, like dewdrops in the early morning light, sparkled with a new light of hope, crystal clear and inspiring.

"That's exactly what I meant, no mistake!"

Wu Zhihua nodded secretly in his heart. That determination was not only reflected in the faint smile on his lips, but also in the moment when the corners of his eyes slightly raised, turning into a spring breeze blowing on his face, gently passing over the lake of his heart, stirring up layers of delicate and deep ripples, just like the first blooming peach blossoms in spring, with a bit of shyness and expectation.

The two were immersed in this warm and tacit communication, and everything around them seemed to stand still.

Not far away, a century-old tree that has experienced the vicissitudes of life stands tall, its branches twisted and vigorous, its bark mottled, as if recording the vicissitudes of countless years.

Its trunk is so thick that it requires several people to hug it. Its branches and leaves are dense, blocking out the sun, adding a bit of tranquility and depth to this world.

Under the ancient tree, the people in Cui Mansion were like shadows in the night, silently watching all this, but no one dared to easily break this precious tranquility and harmony.

The onlookers were talking about it and looking at each other in confusion because of Wu Zhihua's words. Some were surprised, some were curious, and some were secretly speculating.

However, all of this was ignored by the two. They seemed to be in another world, with only each other's heartbeat and breathing intertwined into the most beautiful melody.

As the two figures gradually faded away, Qin Zhinan suddenly turned around, his eyes like lightning, shooting straight at the figure beside him who was trying to pull him, his tone full of unwillingness and indignation: "What exactly do you want to do? Wu Zhihua once made a solemn oath to protect my sister, but now I want to witness with my own eyes how he reaps the fruits of his own actions!"

After saying this, he clenched his fists, veins bulged, and the anger in his chest was about to erupt like a volcano.

"Brother!" Qin Sulan saw this and hurried forward, gently stroking her brother's back with her gentle hands, and said softly but firmly, "Brother, why should you be angry for such a villain? Su Yu's name has long been known throughout the world. She has a strong character and is indomitable. The divorce further demonstrates her extraordinary temperament. Everyone respects her. When have they ever seen her being bullied? Wu Zhihua's meeting with her this time may be God's arrangement. We might as well wait and see how things develop."

Her words contained both gentle consolation and a bit of cunning wisdom, as if she had foreseen that a good show was about to take place.

Not far away, Qin Suling and Qin Zhinan also heard this conversation carefully. Qin Zhinan's face became more and more gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his mind.

Qin Suling carefully observed her brother's expression, and had already made up her mind. She whispered softly, "There are undercurrents behind the marriage between the two families. If you act impulsively at this moment, not only will you fail to expose the true face of the Wu family, but you may also alert the enemy. Why should we get involved in this muddy water? It is better to wait for the right time and make plans later."

Although her words were soft, each one was full of gems, revealing a maturity and calmness beyond her age.

The brother and sister looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and then quietly left this noisy place, looking for a quiet place to avoid the limelight.

Although Qin Suling was extremely reluctant to take part in this Qiqiao event, she had to agree reluctantly because of her mother's order.

Just as she was looking for a quiet place, she suddenly saw a group of boys and girls gathered around Wu Zhihua, with laughter and joyful chattering in the ears, making the place very lively.

When they saw Qin Suling and the others coming, they all cast enthusiastic glances at them, and some even greeted them warmly, "Mr. Qin, Madam Qi, please come this way!"

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm, although Qin Suling was reluctant in his heart, he took his brother's face and friendship into consideration, and finally stepped into the ocean of joy with Qin Zhinan and Qin Zhibei.
