Unlike all the panic-stricken guests, Qin Wan seemed too calm.
Her black ink-colored skirt slowly brushed over the large expanse of wisteria on the flower stand, and in an instant, the faint fragrance floated under the warm yellow lamp, which actually seduced Yan Chi who was standing in the distance, and his heart skipped a beat. Yan's pupils suddenly became clear, and the big red auditorium and the dark night sky all disappeared silently, leaving only Qin Wan's figure clearly reflected in his eyes.
Yan Chi watched from afar, and wanted to follow, but remembered the changes in the Hou's mansion tonight, so he secretly kept his mind on it, and was about to continue walking out, when he caught sight of a young man in a well-dressed man coming from a distance.
With just one glance, Yan Chi could see that the man was going for Qin Wan.
After a pause, Yan Chi decided to go to the gate of the mansion later.
Qin Wan walked towards the west at a leisurely pace, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a man approaching her from the west.
At this moment, all the guests are walking west, but this man is walking against the flow of people, very conspicuous, what makes Qin Wan even more weird is that the man's eyes fell on her, Qin Wan frowned and looked, isn't this The young man who bumped into her earlier
Qin Wan saw the person coming, and so did Fu Ling. With a soft "ah", she subconsciously pulled Qin Wan back.
Qin Wan turned around and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
Fu Ling had a troubled and nervous look on her face, she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak when she saw the man approaching.
After this delay, the man had already walked up to her, firmly blocking Qin Wan's way.
Qin Wan frowned and looked at the man suspiciously.
This person bumped into her before and didn't say anything, why is he blocking the way now
The visitor was tall and handsome, with a handsome face, and he was dressed in a luxurious blue shirt, which made him look a bit extravagant. At this moment, he was looking at her deeply, and Qin Wan's heart trembled. Could it be that this person was an old acquaintance?
Thinking about it this way, Qin Wan felt a little uneasy. If he didn't even recognize his old acquaintances, would it look too fake
"What? Are you pretending not to recognize me?"
Qin Wan was hesitating, but the man opened his mouth. When he spoke, Qin Wan frowned.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, his chin raised slightly, with an obvious sense of superiority, the corners of Qin Wan's lips sank, this man was indeed an old acquaintance of Miss Jiu, but his attitude was a bit presumptuous.
who is he? Why is she pretending not to know him
Qin Wan was unhappy in her heart, but she was not sure about the identity of the visitor, and she didn't respond for a while. When she was thinking about how to answer, Qin Shuang appeared not far away. Qin Shuang glanced around and saw Qin Wan who was facing him. She glanced at the man's back again, then her eyes widened, and then she strode towards Qin Wan in a menacing manner!
"Good, Qin Wan! We're all waiting for you, but you're here pestering Brother Huo!"
Qin Shuang was extremely angry and her voice was loud. Qin Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly came over.
It turned out that the person in front of her was Huo Ning, the prefect's son whom Miss Jiu had liked in the past!
Huo Ning didn't expect Qin Shuang to return, but listening to Qin Shuang's words, he didn't feel unhappy at all, and he didn't refute Qin Shuang's misunderstanding, as if Qin Wan was really pestering him.
Qin Wan couldn't help laughing, she seldom smiled, but when she smiled, there must be an unparalleled youthfulness in her eyes.
Qin Shuang and Huo Ning were stunned, and Yan Chi in the distance also narrowed his eyes.
"It turned out to be Mr. Huo. He fell into the lake half a month ago. I really can't remember the people. I remember the common ones, and I forgot the ones who didn't pay much attention. I hope Mr. Huo can't be blamed."
Huo Ning's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly, did he forget it without paying attention
She, Qin Wan, doesn't care about him? !
The corners of Huoning's lips were tightly pursed, and he said arrogantly, "Why did you fall into the lake?"
He knew that she jumped into the lake for him!
Qin Wan looked at Huo Ning in front of him and was really disappointed.
This young man with a good appearance and family background certainly has no shortage of admirers. To him, Qin Wan is just one of many admirers. If he really doesn't like Qin Wan, that's all. Wan likes it.
Once Qin Wan neglected him, he felt awkward and unwilling, and even took it for granted that Qin Wan would not stop liking him, so he felt that she was pretending not to know him.
Qin Wan smiled again from the bottom of her heart, Miss Jiu's vision was really bad.
"I fell into the lake by mistake, and it rained heavily that night."
Horning frowned slightly, "You're not, you obviously did it for—"
Qin Wan looked at him, waiting for him to say the word "I" next, but she smiled ironically on her lips, and Huo Ning's face flushed slightly, but she couldn't say that word anyway.
"Mr. Huo, what do you think Qin Wan is for?" Huo Ning hesitated to speak, Qin Wan shook his head and sighed, "Qin Wan is afraid of death, there is really nothing in this world that can make Qin Wan willing to die."
The corners of Huo Ning's lips were drawn into a line, and he looked at Qin Wan fixedly. Qin Wan was different, his temperament changed, his eyes changed, and his tone of voice changed. He gradually felt that the Qin Wan in front of him was no longer the same as before. Qin Wan looked up at her, and his aloofness in front of her was absurdly pretentious.
But how can one person's liking for another be easily changed
"Mr. Huo is all right? Please let me go, I have to go back home."
Qin Wan didn't like Huo Ning, and his tone became cold. Huo Ning looked at Qin Wan in front of him, pursed his lips, and suddenly said like alms, "I don't want to live tonight, I, I will take you home."
If it were Qin Wan from the past, he would have been so jealous and overwhelmed with gratitude upon hearing these words.
But at this moment, Qin Wan bypassed Huo Ning directly, "Don't bother your son, Qin Wan will go ahead."
Huo Ning opened his eyes slightly surprised, then he frowned and took two steps back, stopping Qin Wan again.
He looked at Qin Wan carefully, and saw that Qin Wan's eyes were clear, and he couldn't see any admiration for him. Huo Ning felt annoyed in his heart, "Are you planning to use this method to attract me?"
Qin Wan was slightly stunned, unable to laugh or cry for a while, the magistrate may be the best among the younger generation in Jinzhou, but the Zhou Dynasty is so big, the world is so big, Jinzhou is just a tip of the iceberg, this person in front of him is really ignorant and arrogant!
Seeing the mocking smile in Qin Wan's eyes, Huo Ning straightened his back, still raised his chin and said, "It's useless for you to use such a method. I just heard that you jumped into the lake for me, so I feel a little guilty."
Qin Wan suddenly felt sorry for the former Miss Jiu.
The reason why Huo Ning is sure that she is pretending is because the former Miss Jiu really liked Huo Ning, but unfortunately, Huo Ning has always been superior to her and has no respect or love for her.
However, even the former Miss Nine would never commit suicide for Huo Ning like this.
Qin Wan squinted her eyes, and raised her lips at Huo Ning's self-righteous arrogance.
She said helplessly, "Why does Mr. Huo think that I jumped into the lake for you? Based on your ignorance or your stupidity? Or based on your skin and your status as a magistrate?"
After the words were settled, Qin Wan watched Huo Ning's complexion change with satisfaction.
Unless necessary, Qin Wan would never easily offend the dignity of others, but if others disrespected her first, then she would never tolerate a shallow and arrogant fool showing off his might in front of her.
