Li Wan walked into Gu Garden and realized that many celebrities and nobles were gathered inside.
Li Wan: "..."
Feeling a bit nervous, she instinctively grabbed Gaoyuan's arm.
Li Wan: "Gaoyuan, I..."
Gaoyuan: "..."
He held her hand reassuringly and said, "Don't be afraid."
Gaoyuan: "Stay close to me and don't wander off."
Li Wan: "Okay."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.
...
As soon as they entered, Yang Bo approached them.
Yang Bo: "You guys are here."
Gaoyuan: "Yeah."
He responded and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yang Bo: "I came to find Uncle Si."
Yang Bo paused for a moment and then added, "By the way, I received news that the next commission might be related to the the Fang Family."
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Yang Bo: "Uncle Si and Uncle Fang are in the study on the second floor. Should we go up and take a look?"
Gaoyuan: "..."
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Sure."
Gaoyuan turned to Li Wan and gently said, "You wait here for me and don't wander off."
Li Wan: "Okay."
Li Wan nodded obediently.
Gaoyuan: "..."
Gaoyuan ruffled her hair and then left with Yang Bo.
Li Wan: "..."
After watching their figures disappear, Li Wan let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Wan: "..."
She looked around and found an empty seat to sit down.
Li Wan: "..."
Sitting on the high stool, Li Wan idly scrolled through her phone.
After a while, Li Wan suddenly felt a burning gaze fixed on her.
Li Wan: "..."
She lifted her head and looked in the direction of the gaze.
Li Wan: "..."
Not far away, a boy in a suit was standing with one hand in his pocket, looking at her.
The boy had a slight smile on his lips, and his voice was deep and magnetic.
Boy: "Hey there, why are you all alone?"
Li Wan: "..."
Li Wan was slightly taken aback, her cheeks instantly turning red.
Li Wan: "I... I'm waiting for my friend."
Boy: "Oh?"
The boy raised an eyebrow and slowly walked up to her.
Boy: "Which friend?"
Li Wan: "..."
Li Wan hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
Boy: "..."
The boy smirked and suddenly leaned down to her ear.
Boy: "Could it be your boyfriend?"
Li Wan: "……"
Li Wan's body stiffened, her ears turning bright red.
Li Wan: "N-no, it's not…"
Li Wan: "……"
She stammered as she tried to explain, but the boy chuckled softly.
Boy: "Why are you so shy?"
Li Wan: "……"
Her cheeks were burning, and she lowered her head, unable to look at him.
Boy: "You look quite cute."
Boy: "……"
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched her chin.
Li Wan: "……"
The pinch was a bit painful, and she instinctively recoiled.
Li Wan: "Don't touch me!"
Boy: "……"
Seeing her reaction, the boy became even more intrigued.
Boy: "I like someone with a strong personality."
Boy: "……"
As he said this, he wrapped his arm around her waist.
Li Wan: "……"
She gasped in surprise and, in her panic, stepped on her own skirt.
Li Wan: "Ah—"
Her body lost control and fell backward.
Boy: "……"
The boy was quick and agile, and he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Li Wan: "..."
Li Wan fell into his embrace, still in shock.
The boy: "..."
Seeing her flustered expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
The boy: "You're quite interesting."
Li Wan: "..."
Li Wan's cheeks turned red as she struggled to get out of his arms.
Li Wan: "Don't touch me!"
The boy: "..."
He raised an eyebrow and suddenly picked up the wine glass from the table, holding it to her lips.
The boy: "Want to try?"
Li Wan: "..."
Li Wan looked at the wine glass in front of her, hesitating for a moment.
The boy: "What's wrong? Do you find me unappealing?"
Li Wan: "I don't."
She quickly shook her head, steeling herself to take the wine glass and took a sip.
Li Wan: "Cough cough cough..."
The wine burned her throat, causing her to cough.
The boy: "..."
He chuckled softly and patted her on the back.
The boy: "Take your time drinking."
Li Wan: "..."
