Hearing this, Han Yao's face immediately froze.
Someone curiously looked in the direction where the voice came from: "Brother Han, is someone calling you?"
"How could that be? You must have heard it wrong." Han Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding the expression on his face. "The best view is from the arch bridge in the lake. Why don't we let the boatman go there?"
As soon as the voice fell, the female voice came again: "Han Lang!"
Ye Chutang turned his head and saw a boat parked not far away, with a young woman standing on the bow.
She was wearing a plain white tasseled gauze dress, her black hair was tied up, she had a pair of curved eyebrows, her almond eyes were full of water, and her eyes were full of charm. She was truly a beautiful woman who made me feel pity for her.
The woman was holding a pipa and looking over here in a daze. When she saw Han Yao, her expression immediately lit up with joy. However, just as the corners of her mouth rose, she suddenly looked aggrieved and sad as if she remembered something.
"Han Lang, you haven't looked for me for a long time. Could it be that you are tired of Pei'er?"
As he spoke, crystal clear tears fell.
Anyone who sees this scene will have to think more.
A young man recognized the woman and said in surprise: "Isn't that Su Pei'er from Chunfeng Tower?"
These young masters who love to eat, drink and have fun are no strangers to this name.
That’s the top star in Chunfenglou!
Why does she sound like she and Han Yao...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Han Yao had no choice but to speak with a forced smile: "Miss Su, what a coincidence, you are here to cruise the lake too?"
Su Peier bit her red lips lightly, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and complained softly: "How can it be a coincidence? Han Lang has been avoiding me for a while, so I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and wait here, just to see Han Lang once."
The atmosphere was awkward.
If it were any other time, Han Yao would be so proud to be cared for by such a charming beauty. He might even show it off to others. But it’s not possible today - Ye Chutang is here!
He was entangled with a prostitute in front of Ye Chutang. If word got out that he was entangled with a prostitute in front of Ye Chutang, I wonder how ugly it would be!
Han Yao seemed surprised: "Miss Su, why did you come to see me?"
Su Pei'er looked at him with red eyes, seeming to be resentful and blamed.
Han Yao smiled awkwardly and avoided her gaze: "Well... I have been very busy recently, so I didn't go to Chunfeng Tower to listen to music. I hope Miss Su can forgive me."
He turned around and said to the other young men, "Have you ever heard Miss Su's pipa music? It's really amazing! Since we happened to encounter it today, I would like to invite you all to enjoy it together. This music is not something that everyone can hear normally."
As he spoke, he pulled the purse from his waist and threw it to the servant beside him.
"If Miss Su plays well, she will be rewarded handsomely."
Looking at his appearance, he seems to be very handsome and generous.
Su Pei'er looked at him blankly, as if she was meeting this person for the first time.
Not long ago, he was trying to please her in every way and was willing to spend a lot of money just to make her happy.
Those vows and sweet words still seem to linger in my ears, but the person in front of me seems to have changed completely.
Han Yao no longer went to Chunfeng Tower during this period of time. At first, she thought that she had done something wrong and made him angry, but no matter what method she tried to use to contact him, it was all in vain.
In desperation, she accidentally learned that he would come to the lake for a cruise tonight, so she waited here early.
Who would have known that after seeing her, there was no surprise in Han Yao's eyes, but only panic.
Now they even say such things to her, asking her to play music to please everyone.
Her lips trembled as she asked softly, "What does Han Lang think of me?"
Han Yao seemed to have heard a joke: "Miss Su plays the pipa very well. I invite you all to enjoy it together. That's all. Is there any problem? Of course, if Miss Su doesn't want to, we won't force her."
Every word clearly defines the relationship between them.
Su Pei'er was so angry that she was shaking all over and couldn't speak.
Han Yao seemed to have lost his patience. He withdrew his gaze, ordered the boat to go farther, and poured Ye Chutang a cup of tea.
"Miss Ye Er, this is the Junshan Silver Needle that I found specially. Would you like to try it?"
Ye Chutang didn't touch the cup of tea, but turned back to take another look: "I saw that Miss Su was looking for Mr. Han, it seems that she really has something to do?"
"He's just a musician. What can he want from me? He just wants me to spend more money to support him." Han Yao didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't even want to say anything more.
Ye Chutang remained noncommittal.
Ye Shixian at the side also said: "Yes, Mr. Han is famous for his generosity. When these people meet him, they naturally want to please him and get close to him."
From his words, it seemed as if Su Pei'er was just an insignificant object that could be thrown away and there was no need to take it seriously at all.
Seeing Ye Chutang's indifferent expression, Han Yao thought that she was just unhappy because of Su Pei'er's appearance, and quickly explained: "In the past, Han did like lively places, and loved to listen to music and watch plays, but those were just pastimes when I was bored. Miss Ye, rest assured, I will be more serious in the future and will not go again."
Ye Chutang smiled.
"Mr. Han, you and I have nothing to do with each other, why do you have to say such things? Where you want to go and what you want to do are all your business, why do you have to involve me?"
Han Yao coughed lightly and said carefully, "We are almost done—"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of a pipa suddenly came from the lake, accompanied by a woman's sad and mournful singing.
At this time, the sun was setting, the afterglow was shining on the lake, and boats of various sizes were lying on the waves, with heavy reflections.
The sound of the pipa could be heard far away over the lake, attracting many people to look.
"Who's playing the pipa?"
"It seems to be Miss Su from Chunfeng Tower?"
"It's her! This pipa music is unique in the whole capital! But... why is she playing it here suddenly?"
"Don't you know? She came here for Han Yao! Everyone knows that Han Yao was very supportive of her some time ago, but now he must be tired of her. Su Pei'er was unwilling to give in, so she came again."
"Why is Su Pei'er so stupid? How many words of men in the romantic field can be trusted? I heard that Han Yao specially invited the second daughter of the Ye family who just returned to Beijing to come today, and even invited many friends to accompany them. His intentions are obvious. Su Pei'er came here at this time, isn't she deliberately trying to make Han Yao unhappy?"
"Who says it's not true? That Miss Ye is incredible. She has the support of the eldest princess! Han Yao is so entangled with a prostitute, isn't it..."
Han Yao also vaguely heard these discussions and felt even more annoyed with Su Pei'er.
"Miss Ye Er, how about we——"
Before he could finish his words, a panicked scream suddenly came from the boat next to him.
"Girl! You're seeing blood!"
