Only a pair of shy, timid eyes were visible, scanning downwards.
"Oh! It's the daughter of Master Ye!"
The town mayor slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what was happening, and a smile spread across his face. "The Ye family is the most prestigious in our town! They're throwing a bridal bouquet to choose a husband for their youngest daughter! What a grand and elaborate affair!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wuji, who was standing nearby, gaped so wide his mouth could fit an egg.
He exaggeratedly poked the mayor's fat waist: "The richest man? Mayor, so you're not the richest man?"
His loud voice drew the attention of those around him.
The town mayor blushed, scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and chuckled dryly twice.

Steady and reliable.
The red embroidered ball landed squarely in his well-defined hand.
The soft silk felt cool to the touch.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Holy crap!!"
The scene fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a deafening uproar.
Envious, jealous, jeering, and dumbfounded.
All eyes shot towards Xie Huaiye like arrows.
"How did this person end up picking me up?! Who is he?!"
"An outsider caught Miss Ye's embroidered ball!"
"My God! How could this happen! I'm speechless!"
