Chapter 176 Lively (3)
He was too small, and the table blocked his entire view, making it even more impossible for him to see Shen Miao clearly. Su Mingfeng shook his head, not knowing why his younger brother had such a good impression of the Fifth Miss of the Shen family. If it weren't for the fact that Su Minglang was so young, Su Mingfeng would have almost thought that his younger brother had other thoughts about Shen Miao.
However… he also turned to look at Shen Miao. Meeting at such a close distance, how would Shen Miao face Prince Ding?
In the corner of the men's section, there was a man in a blue shirt. Compared to the other nobles in their lavish attire, his attire was extremely simple. However, this didn't make him look awkward by comparison. On the contrary, his simple attire gave him the air of an ancient scholar with a refined and elegant demeanor. At this moment, he too was quietly observing the silent, bowed-headed girl in purple, a faint wave in his gaze.
This person was none other than Pei Lang. Originally, Pei Lang was not qualified to attend such an occasion, but today, someone in the family of the Director of Guangwen Hall passed away, so the Director asked Pei Lang to attend on Guangwen Hall's behalf. Although Pei Lang was a teacher in Guangwen Hall, he was actually half a Director, so he did not refuse.
Who knew that when he arrived, he would see this scene.
Prince Zhou and Prince Jing stood beside Fu Xiuyi, and Jiang Xiaoxuan's deliberately provocative words were also heard. Prince Zhou laughed, patted Fu Xiuyi on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Our ninth brother is really extraordinary..."
Fu Xiuyi frowned slightly, but a faint smile appeared on his face: "Fourth brother, you are joking." Having said that, his eyes unconsciously drifted to the girl sitting in the seat.
"Heh." A light laugh escaped from the corner of the girl's lips, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
There was no emotion in this smile. It sounded too gentle to be a mockery, and too calm to be cheerful. It was like a glass of liquor that had been sitting for a long time, with all kinds of mixed and complicated flavors in the heart, which finally turned into a light laugh.
The male relatives were fine, but the female relatives were surprised. They had been immersed in the family for so many years, but they could not hear the meaning in Shen Miao's laughter. How old is she?
Shen Miao raised her head, her gaze not pausing, as if it was the arrow shot at Cai Lin on the inspection field that day, and suddenly shot towards the figure standing with his hands behind his back, Fu Xiuyi.
Fu Xiuyi was slightly startled.
The girl's eyes were devoid of obsession, love, admiration, or surprise; instead, they held a bottomless calm. It was as if she were an old man, reincarnated a hundred years ago, looking at him through the vicissitudes of time, neither sad nor happy, yet still leaving one feeling uneasy.
Those clear eyes had an extremely beautiful shape. If they were curved, they would be sweet, reminiscent of the taste of honey. But she just watched quietly. Fu Xiuyi's heart suddenly surged with uneasiness, as if he was walking alone in the jungle, but was stared at by the eyes of a giant beast deep in the grass. The uneasiness became more and more intense. The faint smile on his face had disappeared at some point, and he stared at Shen Miao intently.
“Heh.” Shen Miao chuckled again. This time, everyone could see clearly that the corners of her rosy lips curved slightly, but the corners of her eyes did not move. It was clearly a sneer.
It was probably a cold laugh that was formed from the faint resentment of the love that turned into hatred for the sweetheart that he loved but could not get. Everyone thought so, but they were also surprised that Shen Miao dared to express her dissatisfaction so directly. Who would have such courage to sneer at the prince in the palace?
Fu Xiuyi didn't move.
He clearly saw a hint of murderous intent within that sneer. Though it was carefully concealed, it seemed as if even that couldn't contain the surging aura within. The icy, unwavering determination of his opponent made his heart tremble.
