This is not the women's area. When did Xiao Yuan arrive?
Xiao Yuan had no intention of alarming the female guests; he simply stood at the entrance of the garden without entering.
But everyone was still startled and hurriedly bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
When Ge Yin saw Xiao Yuan, her heart started pounding.
A year had passed, and the man before me had become even more mature and reserved. His phoenix eyes were as unfathomable as a cold pool, yet they shone with a captivating light.
Xiao Yuan's gaze, however, bypassed the crowd and fell upon the woman standing not far away on the corridor.

She never expected that Xiao Yuan would lose face in front of so many people for the sake of that shameless Su family.
Just then, a soft voice rang out: "Your Highness, Mother has been feeling unwell these past few days. I gave her acupuncture last night, and she was only able to get up today to come to the banquet. I hope Your Highness will understand."
