Su Minglang was too small and his sight was blocked by the table, so he couldn’t see clearly. Su Mingfeng nodded. He did not know why his brother liked the fifth miss of the Shen family. If not for the fact that Su Minglang was too young, Su Mingfeng would have thought that his brother had some designs on her.
However… he also turned to look at Shen Miao. 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 green. Compared to the other nobles in luxurious clothes, his clothes were extremely simple. However, this did not make him look out of place. On the contrary, because of his simple clothes, he looked like an ancient scholar. At this moment, he was also quietly looking at the purple-clothed girl who had her head lowered.
This person was Pei Lang. Originally, Pei Lang was not qualified to attend such an occasion. However, today, someone in the family of the director of Guangwen Hall was dead, so the director asked Pei Lang to attend in place of him. Although Pei Lang was a teacher in Guangwen Hall, he was actually half a director, so he did not decline.
Prince Zhou and Prince Jing stood beside Fu Xiuyi, and they heard Jiang Xiaoxuan’s deliberately provocative words. Prince Zhou smiled and patted Fu Xiuyi’s shoulder, saying meaningfully, “Our ninth brother is really amazing…”
!!
Fu Xiuyi frowned slightly, but a faint smile appeared on his face. “Fourth Brother, you must be joking.” Although he said that, his gaze subconsciously drifted to the girl in the seat.
“Heh.” The girl chuckled audibly, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
The chuckle was gentle and calm, like a cup of strong wine that had been brewed for a long time. It was filled with all kinds of emotions and complicated feelings. In the end, it turned into a light laugh.
The women were surprised. They were all women of the world, but they couldn’t tell the meaning behind Shen Miao’s laughter at all.
Shen Miao looked up suddenly with a piercing gaze. It was the same gaze when she was shooting an arrow at Cai Lin at the test that day. Without a warning, she shot her gaze at Fu Xiuyi.
Fu Xiuyi was slightly stunned.
There was no infatuation, love, admiration, or surprise in the girl’s eyes, only a bottomless calmness. It was as if an old man who had experienced the vicissitude of life was looking at him through the passage of time. The gaze was neither filled with sadness or happiness, but it made people feel uneasy.
That pair of clear eyes had an extremely beautiful shape. If Shen Miao curled them slightly, they would probably be so sweet that they reminded people of honey. However, she only watched quietly. An uneasiness suddenly surged in Fu Xiuyi’s heart, as if a huge beast was staring at him from the depths of the grass. The uneasiness became stronger and stronger. The faint smile on his face had disappeared at some point, and he was staring fixedly at Shen Miao.
“Heh.” Shen Miao chuckled again. This time, everyone could see it clearly. The corners of her red lips curled up slightly, but the corners of her eyes did not move. It was a sneer.
It was probably a sneer from hatred towards the person she loved but couldn’t get. Everyone thought to themselves, but they were surprised that Shen Miao actually dared to express her dissatisfaction so bluntly.
Fu Xiuyi did not move.
In that sneer, he clearly saw a faint killing intent. Although it was deliberately concealed, the killing intent was still so strong that it surged out, pointing at him like a sharp knife. The coldness of being determined to win actually made his heart skip a beat.
