Su Yang's affected manner, as if he knew Yan Jingzhou extremely well, kept swirling in his mind.
Gong Ning shook her head angrily, her little face full of unhappiness.
Yan Jingzhou walked behind her and gently pushed the swing.
"Ah!" Gong Ning exclaimed in surprise, and the man's handsome brows softened.
"Yan Jingzhou, don't you ever make a sound when you walk? You scared me again!"
The girl's fists rained down on him, but the man immediately grabbed her hand and smiled indulgently.
He leaned slightly closer to her fair and delicate face. "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed. Hmm?"
Gong Ning suddenly paused, her eyes flickering with a hint of guilt. "What was I thinking? What could I be thinking?"
The man chuckled softly and planted a kiss on her small fist. "There's a banquet in a few days. Will you come with me?"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, the anger that had been building up in Gong Ning's chest surged.
"No, if you want to go, go by yourself. Don't you have so many female confidantes? Why don't you let them go with you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Ning froze, then became even more agitated.
Look, is this what she would normally say?
His lips trembled a few times, but he didn't know what to say.
He simply pulled his hand away, pushed Yan Jingzhou aside, and strode out of the woods.
"Gong Ning!" Yan Jingzhou frowned, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
Grab her hand.
I was puzzled by her sudden outburst of anger.
Gong Ning paused, took a deep breath, and spoke calmly, "Tuanzi!"
The dog immediately ran happily out of the nearby woods, carrying a long scroll in its mouth.
She brushed his hand away, bent down, and took the object that the little dog was carrying in its mouth.
He turned around and angrily threw the scroll over, saying, "Let your Miss Su go with you!"
Yan Jingzhou took it subconsciously, and the next moment he felt his palm was wet.
Looking down, his handsome face darkened; it was some dog's drool.
His gaze lingered on the dog, which was wagging its tail happily.
Tuanzi shuddered, sensing something was wrong, and quickly followed Gong Ning's steps.
It didn't do it on purpose; its owner made it keep the dog in its mouth at all times!
The man's face was dark, and his slender fingers disdainfully untied the thin silk ribbon in the center of the scroll.
The scroll is made of high-quality material, and the dog's drool did not affect the contents.
Upon seeing the content and signature of the painting, Yan Jingzhou's thin lips instantly pursed...
"Did someone come to Xingzhan Garden today?"
The man's voice was cold and deep, calm and even, yet it seemed to be carrying a storm.
A man in black suddenly appeared beside Yan Jingzhou, moving as lightly as a swallow and as ghostly as a phantom.
He bowed slightly respectfully, "Yes!"
Yan Jingzhou closed the scroll and tossed it to him, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his well-defined fingers.
He uttered a few words indifferently, "Very well, go back!"
The man in black swayed suddenly and lowered his head. "Sir, I know I was wrong!"
He understood perfectly what the man's words meant: leave this place...
The person whom the future head of the Yan clan regarded as a pawn...
"I've never liked people with such complicated thoughts. Is this all Yan Cheng has taught you?"
The man in black turned completely pale and stammered, unable to utter a word.
Yes, the gentleman is always meticulous and wouldn't allow others to weigh or test him...
He deliberately let Su Yang pass in order to test Miss Gong's position in the master's heart.
He thought he had disguised himself very well, but it turned out...
