In the magnificent hall.

Concubine Rong was frowning and sighing, Wei Miao was acting out a sad drama, and Lu Wan was acting along with her.

And what is the male protagonist doing?

He laughed out loud.

The whole atmosphere collapsed. Lu Wan felt that she had encountered the Waterloo of her career and stared at Chen Yan with a look of disappointment.

——"Tongtong, I don't understand, what is he laughing at? At this moment, shouldn't he just go with the flow and declare righteously and forcefully: This general has withdrawn from this marriage!"

So she watched Shen Yan laugh again.

Lu Wan: ...I'm tired, let's destroy it.

The villain’s gloomy and cold personality has collapsed. Is there any hope for this book?

Rong Fei and Wei Miao were obviously also surprised by this.

Wei Miao was already mesmerized by Shen Yan's stunning beauty and was stunned. Rong Fei asked softly, "Why is Yan'er laughing?"

Chen Yan lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes curled up in a beautiful arc.

He curled his lips slightly, and said in a casual voice: "Ayan just suddenly remembered that when he was young, his mother had a white cat."

It happened more than ten years ago, but Shen Yan has a good memory and can still recall every detail.

The cat is very beautiful, with snow-white fur and a pair of big, round and cute eyes.

When being touched, it will squint its eyes happily and call out in a soft voice.

When it is in a bad mood, it will wave its little paws and grin.

Very fierce and aggressive.

Just like...

He couldn't help but glance at the girl beside him out of the corner of his eye. His fingertips felt itchy, just like the warmth of her delicate fingers brushing against his palm not long ago.

Chen Yan suddenly wanted to have a cat.

After hearing his words, even Wei Miao couldn't help but be filled with questions, and Rong Fei also seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Talking about engagement! What about life events! What cat are you talking about? Is there something wrong?

Lu Wan tried to guess what was in their minds and guessed that at this moment, several women in the hall should have one sentence repeating in their minds at the same time: What nonsense are you talking about? ? ?

However, Shen Yan quickly returned to normal. He took a few steps away from Wei Miao and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, Princess."

Lu Wan waited for a long time but got no response, and was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

Shen Yan looked down at her.

I don’t know if it’s because the sun is too bright today, but a gentle smile appears in his cold eyes.

He didn't care about this marriage before. To him, it made no difference who he married.

But now, Shen Yan suddenly discovered that things were not as he had imagined.

She wanted the engagement to be cancelled more than he did, but for some reason she couldn't say it out loud. I can only deliberately let my reputation get worse and worse so that he will feel disgusted and terminate the contract on his own initiative.

What's wrong with him? Why is he not as good as Bu Wen Ge?

She would rather pretend to be pretentious and bear a bad reputation than cancel the engagement.

Shen Yan's brows knitted unconsciously.

The youthful spirit and pride, the curiosity to find out the reasons behind it, and a hint of inexplicable awkwardness made him want to go against Lu Wan.

She tried so hard to leave him.

Then he had to keep her.

…

…

The palace maids brought cakes, tea and wine, and Concubine Rong sat at the top. Wei Miao snuggled up to her, staring at Lu Wan with a knife-like gaze.

Lu Wan and Chen Yan sat at the same table. The people of Dayong were open-minded, and they were already engaged, so it was okay for them to be a little intimate.

Feeling Wei Miao's murderous gaze, she sighed deeply in her heart.

——"Don't look at me, sister. I don't want to either. It's just that your mother is too good a matchmaker."

"Lu Wan." Someone suddenly called her.

Lu Wan tilted her head and met Chen Yan's pair of tender and affectionate peach blossom eyes.

He just stared at her, his eyes dark and deep, and asked deliberately: "Are you happy?"

Lu Wan was very dedicated and looked back at him with deep affection in his eyes: "Of course I'm happy to be able to sit with Brother Ayan."

Shen Yan raised the wine glass in his hand and just took a few sips, his lips were slightly moist.

He raised his eyebrows slightly towards her, and the corners of his eyes slanted, giving off a seductive and evil look.

It is like the distant moonlight suddenly falls on your hands, stained by the dust of the world.

Lu Wan swallowed.

She is guilty.

At this moment, she was very greedy for Chen Yan's body.

——"Damn it, Shen Gou is so lustful! His eyelashes are so long, his skin is so white, and his lips look so kissable..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Shen Yan coughed violently.

Lu Wan was startled, and quickly patted his back, blinking her innocent eyes and asked, "Brother Ayan, are you okay?"

Chen Yan's fair face was slightly flushed, and physiological tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes due to the violent coughing just now, and he was breathing slightly.

He glared at Lu Wan and warned her, "Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Lu Wan said innocently, "I'm not imagining anything."

But when she met Shen Yan's gaze, she had no choice but to nod obediently.

But I feel uneasy.

——"What should I do? It looks like I want to bully him until he cries."

Shen Yan gritted his teeth: "... Lu Wan!"

His face was still flushed, and after a long while, he just squeezed out a dry sentence: "Although this fruit wine is sweet, it has a strong aftereffect. You should drink less."

Lu Wan held the wine glass and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Strange, Shen Yan actually cared about her so much today?

The little movements between the two naturally fell into the eyes of Rong Fei and her daughter.

Concubine Rong felt relieved.

The son of her old friend always looked pure and aloof, unconcerned with worldly affairs, which made her very worried.

Now seeing that the relationship between him and Lu Wan seemed to be getting closer, Concubine Rong was very happy.

Although Lu Wan is a little delicate, she is indeed a good girl.

Wei Miao was so furious that he wanted to stab Lu Wan with a vampire on the spot.

The small gathering was a very enjoyable one for both the host and the guests. In the end, Rong Fei held Chen Yan's hand and gave him earnest instructions for a long time before waving her sleeves and sending them off.

Shen Yan first sent Lu Wan back to the Wen Mansion. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and reminded her, "You must not be absent from this college assessment."

As soon as Lu Wan pouted and blinked twice, Chen Yan said, "Don't cry."

She said "oh" in a wronged tone.

Lu Wan was very sad, she just wanted to be a little troublemaker, why did she have to go through something like an exam?

Not to mention the arts of calligraphy, painting, poetry and etiquette, there is also the competition of riding and archery, which is simply insane.

She never could do that before.

Lu Wan is laughed at every time he goes to the archery field. Can he bear this?

So she skipped the assessment last year.

The old dean was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He sent a letter of complaint directly to the emperor, and the news became known to everyone.

Lu Wan was thinking to herself that although she had made some progress in riding and archery during this period, she was still not as good as those noble ladies who had studied for more than ten years.

Anyway, the bet with Xue Yuanyuan didn't say that I had to take first place in all events.

Should I be brave enough to break my leg and take a sick leave this time?

Shen Yan: “…”

"Don't think of any crooked ways," he sighed helplessly, "There's still some time before the test, I'll teach you."
