Li Yunyan choked for a moment, "You even scanned this?"
The system is innocent. [Host, this system is scanning according to your preferences!]
In other words, she likes... cough cough!!!
Her face, slightly flushed beneath the thin veil, quickly took a sip of tea to calm her nerves.
Li Yunyan withdrew her gaze and thought to herself, "Perhaps it's because scholars rarely get any exercise that they can't select the best ones?"
Or maybe next time she could find a martial arts school and pick out some sports students?
Li Yunyan didn't like listening to people recite poetry, and having lost the motivation to continue the talent show, she was bored and listlessly ate the pastries on her plate.
Her movements are casual yet elegant; it's hard for anyone who's seen her not to recognize her.
Before long, a servant came over.
"Miss, our young master would like to invite you upstairs for a chat."
"Who is your young master?"
Li Yunyan followed the servant's gaze to the third floor, where Jiang Bozhou stood by the wide-open window, nodding and smiling at her.
It turned out to be an acquaintance!
Li Yunyan returned the smile, stood up gracefully, and followed the servant upstairs.
Jiang Bozhou had already come up the stairs to greet her, "Miss Yunyan."
Li Yunyan curtsied to him, "I didn't expect to meet Young Master Jiang here!"
"Does Miss Yunyan enjoy poetry gatherings?"
"Not at all." Li Yunyan smiled gently. "I was just bored and wanted to have some fun!"
The two entered the private room and took their seats. Li Yunyan looked out the window and found that the view was particularly good. She could hear what the people below the stage were saying and see their every move.
It has the best view in the entire Mingyue Tower!
She raised her hand and removed the thin veil from her face. "Young Master Jiang, are you here today also to listen to the poetry recital?"
Jiang Bozhou's gaze flickered at her beautiful and refined face before he calmly said, "Mingyue Tower is a property of the Jiang family."
"I see!"
Li Yunyan rested her chin on her hand, her eyes seemingly fixed on the scholars reciting poetry downstairs, but in reality, she was thinking: How about Jiang Bozhou? He's quite handsome, has a good physique, and although his family background isn't as good as her exes, it should be decent enough!
After all, searching blindly like this is quite troublesome!
Seeing her relaxed and carefree demeanor, neither flattering nor trying to please him, Jiang Bozhou smiled.
"Miss Yunyan, would you do me the honor of joining me for lunch at Mingyue Tower?"
Since Li Yunyan had already decided to win him over, she didn't hesitate to smile at him. She turned her head slightly, her bright eyes sparkling as if they could speak, captivating anyone who looked at her.
Her features were exquisitely sculpted, her hair was as black as snow-capped clouds, and her cheeks were like peach blossoms glistening with dew. When she smiled, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing and a hundred flowers were blooming.
She replied in a soft and gentle voice, "Okay."
Jiang Bozhou's heart was pounding. How could he feel that in just one moment, Miss Yunyan looked even more charming than before?
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Jiang Bozhou summoned the composure he had honed in the business world and chatted with her calmly.
His speech was measured and calm, his voice was neither too fast nor too slow, and his gestures were always very tactful. He neither pried into her privacy nor was he lacking in humor.
This made Li Yunyan feel extremely comfortable.
After a sumptuous lunch, Li Yunyan took her leave.
Jiang Bozhou stood up. "Miss Yunyan, I'll have someone take you back."
"Thank you, Young Master Jiang."
The two walked out of the private room and were about to go downstairs when someone called them back.
"Yunyan!"
Li Yunyan turned around and saw Xia Xiunian, dressed in brocade, standing at the corner of the corridor, striding towards her.
What is he doing here?
Jiang Bozhou bowed to him, "So you are the Commander!"
Li Yunyan frowned, her tone slightly displeased: "Why are you here?"
Xia Xiunian's gaze swept over Jiang Bozhou and landed on Li Yunyan. He slowly said, "Mingyue Tower has many guests today. The Nine Gates Admiral is in charge of the security of the capital. To prevent any accidents from happening, I came to check on things!"
"Oh, then you can continue watching!"
After she finished speaking, she tried to leave, but Xia Xiunian stopped her.
"Yunyan, I'll take you home!"
"No need, Young Master Jiang has already made arrangements."
"Young Master Jiang?" Xia Xiunian's gaze returned to Jiang Bozhou's face, his expression extremely displeased.
Jiang Bozhou had dealt with the Nine Gates Admiral several times and knew that Xia Xiunian, though seemingly generous and cheerful, was actually decisive in his methods, so he prepared himself for the situation.
"Commander, I am acquainted with Miss Yunyan and was just about to send someone to take her home."
"No need to trouble yourself!"
Xia Xiunian's eyes darkened slightly. "I will take care of Yunyan's matter myself. There's no need to trouble others!"
That's a bit ambiguous!
Li Yunyan quickly retorted, "Xia Xiunian, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Bozhou also noticed that there was something off about the atmosphere between the two of them, and asked with some confusion, "What... is the relationship between you two?"
"I am Yunyan's fiancé!"
His words were forceful and clear, and a faint hint of smugness played at the corners of his mouth.
"He's my ex-fiancé!"
Li Yunyan added to Jiang Bozhou, then glared angrily at Xia Xiunian, "Xia Xiunian! We've already dissolved our engagement! You can't go around spreading rumors!"
"I didn't agree! You are still my fiancée!"
Xia Xiunian stood with his hands behind his back, his spine straight as a pine tree. He spoke without making a single superfluous movement, yet he exuded a powerful aura that was truly awe-inspiring.
"Isn't that just being a scoundrel?!"
