Chapter 614
Duke Qin slapped his forehead and said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, I misspoke! Miss Huo is of the utmost value."
Strangely enough, after Huo Shu said that, the Duke of Qin realized the words he had just blurted out.
Hearing this, Huo Shu's expression softened.
Everyone took their seats.
Just as the Duke of Qin finished his speech and was preparing to start the banquet, a man suddenly strode in.
The man approached and bowed to the Duke of Qin, saying, "I'm late, please forgive me, Your Highness."
The man was tall and handsome beyond compare. He wore a pine-green brocade robe, but it did not look dull at all. Every move he made was captivating.
As soon as he arrived, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all turned to look at another person.
Yun Wan's face was pale. She stared at the person standing at the door, her teeth clenched.
When the two of them were still together, the Yun family held several banquets, but Shen Rang never attended.
Now that the Duke of Qin is hosting a banquet, he's come running over here, it's truly ironic.
No one else knew who he had come for, but Yun Wan knew.
"It's already quite remarkable that Prince Shen could come!" Duke Qin said with a smile.
Although Shen Rang's background was only that of a Marquis, which was lower than that of a Duke, he was now the most favored person by the Emperor, and his influence was considerable.
"Quickly, please take a seat!"
Shen Rang didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that the seat next to Yun Xi was still empty, he stepped over it in one stride.
It pushed aside someone who was about to sit down there.
The man blinked, looking puzzled.
He was already halfway seated, how did he get pushed aside?
Shen Rang turned his head, nodded slightly to him, and then turned his head away again.
Huo Shu and Chen Qiang looked at Shen Rang with puzzled smiles.
This kid is actually quite polite.
The group took their seats one by one and began chatting in small groups.
This was a family dinner, and everyone who came was someone I knew; the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Duke Qin chatted and laughed with his old friend for a while, then glanced at him and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Shen, why are you using your left hand to hold chopsticks?"
"My right hand is injured, so it's inconvenient."
Shen Rang remained calm and composed, without blushing or panting.
After thinking for a moment, the Duke of Qin said, "That's true. Now that His Majesty values Prince Shen so highly, important documents all have to go through Prince Shen's hands, so it's easy for him to get hurt."
Shen Rang nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Duke."
Yunxi's ears were almost completely red.
Shen Rang's hand wasn't injured at all; he was clearly holding her hand!
Rough fingertips brushed against her fingertips, and then a deep voice sounded in her ear: "Eat properly."
Yunxi pursed her lips.
She does want to eat properly.
Shen Rang is being too bold in public. What if he gets caught?
Yunxi lost her appetite the more she thought about it, and tried to pull her hand away but couldn't.
“Nobody’s watching us,” Shen Rang said helplessly. “Besides, I’ve already sent you the marriage invitation. Why would I be afraid of others knowing my intentions?”
"A post?" Yunxi was slightly taken aback. "How come I didn't know about it?"
"You didn't know?" Shen Rang was even more surprised than she was.
He wrote the post himself and delivered it personally; there were absolutely no mistakes.
