Ning Chenjin gradually came to his senses amidst the shock and contemplation, knowing full well the gravity of the matter.
Especially her younger brother's mischievous and naughty nature, who is fearless and reckless, could lead to endless troubles if he were to inadvertently offend Qin Qianluo.
So he hurriedly turned around, his eyes anxiously searching for his younger brother in the crowd.
Finally, they found their younger brother, who was curiously looking around, in a corner.
He strode forward, pulled his younger brother aside, and solemnly and earnestly told him everything about Qin Qianluo, emphasizing that he must not offend or provoke her.
His voice was low, yet it carried an undeniable authority, and his eyes were filled with worry and admonition for his younger brother.
Standing to the side, the youngest son of the War King, Ning Chenrui, blinked his big, watery eyes upon hearing his elder brother's words, his curiosity growing even stronger.
He tiptoed slightly, his eyes like those of a lively deer, and looked through the crowd towards Qin Qianluo.
Upon seeing Qin Qianluo's exquisite face, he felt as if an invisible hand was gently plucking at his heartstrings.
Her cheeks flushed slightly uncontrollably, as if the sunset glow had quietly crept onto her face.
Despite his strong desire to get closer, he could only suppress his impulse and cautiously observe Qin Qianluo from the sidelines, due to his elder brother's stern warning.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his face was full of smiles. It was as if a seed of curiosity and admiration had been planted in his heart and was quietly sprouting.
Ning Chenjin stood in a corner of the ornately decorated banquet hall, surrounded by elegantly dressed guests. The newly installed underfloor heating made the space warm and inviting.
He thought to himself that this miraculous ability to hear one's own thoughts was something he had never experienced before in his life.
His eyes gleamed with contemplation, and a flurry of thoughts raced through his mind.
Thinking that if he could establish a good relationship with Qin Qianluo, he would be free from the worry of being secretly plotted against by treacherous villains, no matter what he planned or what actions he took in the future.
Once this thought arose, it was exactly the same as Ning Chenyang's idea, just like two streams converging and flowing into one place.
However, although he had his own thoughts, he dared not act rashly in the slightest.
After all, Qin Qianluo was like a shadowy figure in a fog to him; he had no idea what her personality or preferences were.
If one rashly approaches, it would be like a reckless moth drawn to a flame, not only failing to achieve one's goal but also causing trouble and ending up with the opposite result.
Moreover, he always had an inexplicable intuition that if he approached Qin Qianluo with such a utilitarian purpose...
In the end, it will all be for naught, and one will not be able to achieve their desired outcome.
He lowered his head slightly, pondered for a long time, and his gaze inadvertently drifted towards Qin Jiyuan.
If one could become close friends with Qin Jiyuan, perhaps a different approach could be taken. Through Qin Jiyuan's connection, one could gradually get closer to Qin Qianluo, which would be a relatively safe method.
However, he did not immediately turn his thoughts into action. Instead, like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, he quietly waited for the perfect moment to arrive.
To be fair, putting aside the fact that the woman had previously disturbed his mind and caused him confusion, he was quite intelligent and quick-witted when dealing with other matters.
From 001's few comments about him alone, he could keenly sense that his impression on Qin Qianluo was not good at all.
Although he didn't know exactly what the new term "love-struck" meant, he could still understand the phrase "dizzy and disoriented."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, his heart filled with resentment.
That woman had set a huge trap for him, leaving him trapped and unable to escape. She was truly despicable.
At the banquet, the melodious sounds of string and wind instruments filled the air, like celestial music.
The hall was decorated in a magnificent and opulent style, with gorgeous tapestries hanging down, exquisite porcelain pieces neatly arranged, and the aroma of delicious food filling the air.
Qin Qianluo sat upright in her seat, her beautiful eyes fixed on the performance on the stage, her gaze full of focus and fascination.
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face, like a flower quietly blooming in spring, gentle and touching.
Su Jinyun was having a pleasant conversation with the officials around her, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
But she would still occasionally turn her head slightly, her gaze gently falling on Qin Qianluo.
Seeing that Qin Qianluo was staring intently at the dancing girls, he couldn't help but find it amusing.
She thought to herself, Qianluo is still Qianluo, her love and appreciation for beauty remains unchanged, without any concealment or alteration.
She shook her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, secretly pondering when would be the right time to go and find Qin Qianluo for a casual chat.
Qin Qianluo was completely absorbed in the wonderful performance when suddenly, a string of Japanese words entered her ears.
The sound seemed out of place in the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet, like a murky ripple suddenly appearing on a calm lake.
Qin Qianluo's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, like two soft willow leaves being gently swayed by a breeze.
While the envoys from various countries were bowing in turn, she was completely focused on the delicious food in front of her and did not pay any attention to the appearance and status of the envoys.
Hearing these abrupt words out of the blue, she looked in the direction of the voice and felt a surge of displeasure, as if a dark cloud had quietly obscured the sunshine in her heart.
