Ye Jingning looked at the perfect couple with a dazed expression. Although she was the one who gave up on her own initiative, she still felt a little disgusted. After all, she had liked him at that time, but he had never liked her from the beginning to the end, let alone treated her the same way he treated her.

She withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and shook the wine glass in her hand, laughing at herself.

Ye Jingyun stared at Wen Ning, his teeth clenched with jealousy. Why did she get there first? She was the one who liked him first, wasn't she? Why did everyone else have to compete with him?

She glared at her, wishing she could tear her apart.

"Jingyun, what's wrong?" Miss Sun Lan from the Sun family walked over, looked forward following her best friend's gaze, and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Ye Jingyun quickly put away his expression, as if the person just now was not himself. She smiled and took her hand and asked her: "Why did you come so late?"

"Oh, I was delayed a bit by changing my clothes just now, so I'm late." After Sun Lan finished explaining, she kept asking, "Tell me, who were you looking at just now?"

"Who am I looking at? I'm just looking casually." Ye Jingyun said a little embarrassedly. After all, she was her best friend. How could she dare to tell her thoughts to her for fear of being laughed at?

"You're still pretending with me. Aren't you just attracted to Mr. Lu?" Sun Lan saw through everything and said to the man in the distance.

There were no one around Lu Shiyan now. He was the only one sitting there. Wen Ning had also disappeared, his whereabouts unknown. He sat there alone, completely out of tune with his surroundings. The surrounding noise seemed to have nothing to do with him. He looked down on everyone, and no one dared to disturb him.

Ye Jingyun had liked him for a long time, and she didn't think it was strange that she liked him. After all, anyone with a clear eye could fall for someone like Master Lu, right? Putting aside his family background, his looks alone could charm thousands of girls, not to mention his outstanding abilities.

"What's wrong with me just liking him?" Ye Jingyun said with a little annoyance and shyness that was only typical of a young girl. She carefully peeked at the people on the field. She always knew that he was always excellent, so excellent that no one could be worthy of him.

"If you like him, then go after him. Your sister has broken off the engagement anyway." Sun Lan said. If it were before, she would not dare to encourage her, but now it is different. Her sister has broken off the engagement, so there is no ethical issue. She can pursue her love openly.

"But he doesn't like me." Ye Jingyun said a little discouraged, looking quite depressed. Of course she wanted to have a result with him, but he didn't seem to like her at all, which made her very sad.

Sun Lan laughed, "You're silly. How could someone like Master Lu like anyone? If you really like him, why don't you take the initiative? It's impossible for you to wait for him to take the initiative. But if you make him like you, then after that, you will be the most special person to him. You can walk sideways in Jinghua and no one can bully you. Master Lu is so outstanding, but he is busy with his career and has no interest in love. Just chase him. Once you catch him, he will be yours alone."

Her best friend's words made a lot of sense, and she began to hesitate whether she should really do this.

Sun Lan noticed her hesitation and continued, "Why hesitate? If you hesitate, the person will be kidnapped. Don't cry to me when that happens."

"Then what should I do?" Ye Jingyun also thought it made sense and asked in confusion.

"Well, isn't the opportunity here? Now is the time to dance, go and ask him to dance with you." Sun Lan said, pointing at the people dancing on the field.

"What if he rejects me? How embarrassing! So many people are watching," Ye Jingyun said, feeling somewhat conflicted. After all, she was the second daughter of the Ye family, representing the family's reputation. If she were to be rejected, it wouldn't just be her who would be humiliated, but the entire Ye family as well. Furthermore, they had just broken off their engagement with the Lu family, and if something went wrong at this critical juncture, her grandfather would probably beat her to death. The thought of this made her hesitant.

"I say, are you stupid? What's there to be entangled about? This is not a problem at all." Sun Lan looked at her best friend's confused eyes and quickly explained: "First, you are the second lady of the Ye family. Even if the engagement is cancelled, he, as a member of the Lu family, will not slap you in the face in such an occasion. Although he may be reluctant, he will still cooperate with you. Second, this is at the Li family's banquet. There are so many people watching. How could he let a girl like you lose face? As the most noble man in Jinghua, even if he doesn't like it, he still has good manners and will not lose face for you. Third, you are such a beautiful girl, how can a man bear to let you down." After Sun Lan finished the first two points, she looked at her and teased.

Ye Jingyun blushed a little when she teased him, and said angrily, "Okay, you tease me? Just wait, next time if you like someone else, I will tease you too. Let's see if you dare to do it again."

"Oh, don't worry about me. We'll talk about it next time. Your most urgent task now is to hurry up and get that person. Otherwise, he will be taken away by other women soon. Don't you see, there are still a lot of people at this banquet. There will always be one or two who are bold and ready to make a move. If you are late, you can't be sure that someone will get him first." Sun Lan encouraged.

The two of them have been playing together since they were young, and they are really good sisters and best friends. So, when she saw that she had someone she liked, she was very happy and hoped that she could get what she wanted instead of regretting it for the rest of her life.

Ye Jingyun was still a little hesitant, but Sun Lan gave her a push without thinking, and she had no choice but to walk forward, looking back every step of the way. Sun Lan waved her hand in amusement and encouraged her: "Come on."

The people on the field noticed this little episode and slowed down, paying attention to this side.

Ye Jingning also raised her eyelids, eyebrows slightly raised, and looked at her sister playfully. She didn't expect that she would be so bold and openly approach him in such an occasion. She underestimated her. She always thought that she was just the cute and well-behaved appearance on the surface. In fact, she was very ambitious. She actually liked him and wanted to marry him. It was a pity that she was young and arrogant. She didn't even look at what kind of person Lu Shiyan was. How could he like her? Even if there were no other women, he would never marry her. If for nothing else, she was the daughter of the Ye family.

She shook her head. She could imagine her sister being heartbroken in the future. Why did she have to like him when there were so many other people she could like? Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Here, Ye Jingyun, encouraged by her bestie, slowly walked up to Lu Shiyan. She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, looked up at Lu Shiyan, and said loudly, "Master Lu, I want you to dance with me."
