But things didn't go as she wished. She discovered Sima Jie, and Sima Jie also noticed her.

Sima Jie had a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and a slender figure. He was dressed in white and looked like a refined gentleman.

He saw Dongfang Yue, approached her with a smile, and took the initiative to greet her.

"Yue'er, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here. It seems we are truly destined to meet."

Dongfang Yue paused, feeling goosebumps when she heard the other person address her as "Yue'er". She forced a polite smile and gave a slight curtsy.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see Young Master Sima here. It seems you've finished eating and have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer."

Although Dongfang Yue was polite, anyone with hearing could hear the distance in her words.

However, Sima Jie seemed not to understand the meaning behind it, and said with a smile:

"It won't take long. I'm free anyway, and I didn't eat much earlier. How about Yue'er and I share a feast?"

Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Ao Ling all looked at the two of them with some strangeness, sensing that something was amiss.

Dongmei explained telepathically, "He is Sima Jie, the one who was supposed to marry Miss, but Miss doesn't seem to like him."

Qin Feng and the other two immediately understood, but this was their private matter and had nothing to do with them.

Dongfang Yue was speechless. She had made her point so clearly, yet Sima Jie still stubbornly followed her.

She said helplessly, "Young Master Sima, it's probably inconvenient this time. I brought a friend with me. I'll definitely come next time."

Sima Jie then noticed Qin Feng and the others behind her, and his eyes lit up when he saw Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling.

"Yue'er's friends are naturally my friends too. We can entertain them together. I'm sure they won't mind, right?"
