Just as Ye Qing was sighing emotionally in his heart, he suddenly discovered that there was someone walking towards him from behind. Releasing his spiritual sense, he didn't even need to turn his head to know who the person behind him was.

It was Ye Yanran.

As he walked, he asked, "What business do you have with me?"

Ye Yanran stopped and said, "My mom wants you to come to the mansion for dinner tonight."

"Alright, I understand." Ye Qing continued to move forward.

"Wait." Ye Yanran called out to stop Ye Qing. She stood there hesitating for a long time before finally saying, "About that, yesterday I only agreed to Shen Longfei's request to have a meal together. I didn't have any other intentions and didn't accept his pursuit."

Ye Qing finally stopped his footsteps.

He turned around and looked at the stubborn girl.

She didn't have any thoughts for her, so why was she explaining this to him? Was she afraid that he would misunderstand?

"Ye Qing, you've been gone for too long. You've disappeared for four whole months!" Ye Yanran bit her lips, tears appearing in her eyes, "You left a few words that day on the Azure Cloud Mountain and then left. Have you thought about what we felt?"

"You?" Ye Qing frowned slightly.

"Yes, Rong'er and I." Ye Yanran took a deep breath, faced Ye Qing and said, "That day before you left, you didn't say anything to Rong'er and just left without saying goodbye. Do you know how long Rong'er cried for?"

Ye Qing calmly said, "I just view her as an ordinary friend."

"Ordinary friend?" Ye Yanran scoffed.

She stood there, and her gaze stared straight into Ye Qing's eyes, "Do you know how outstanding Rong'er is? Just two months ago, she received an invitation from the Regional Academy to become the academy's musician. "

"Do you know that if she were to go to the Supreme School to become a musician, with her abilities and looks, as long as she performed a few times, her reputation would definitely spread throughout the whole of Jiangnan!?"

"At that time, her pursuers would definitely not be people on the level of Luo Hua An and Duan Feng. Instead, they would be the princes of the princes' mansions. At that time, as long as he is willing, he would definitely have the chance to leap into the ranks of the upper echelons. "

"And it's because of you that she has not agreed to the Grand Institution's invitation. She has been waiting in the county for you to come back!"

"But you! You may be able to live in Minzhou without fear of anyone with your status as a princess of Fan YanRou, but what about after you leave the city? Do you want to look at the whole of Jiangnan? Even in the entire Tang Dynasty? What are you going to use to compete with Rong'er's future pursuer? "

"If you don't properly cherish her, I will feel sorry for Rong'er!" "It's not worth it!"

Ye Yanran angrily said. She did not wait for Ye Qing to reply and directly turned around to leave. She did not want to take another look at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing stood in the same spot for a long time before a thread of a smile was revealed on his face. He smiled and shook his head.

"Are you actually so concerned about me?" "Ugh, whatever, whatever …"

That night, Ye Qing came to the Ye residence, and the person who came out to greet him was unexpectedly Shen Longfei.

"You're here."

Shen Longfei nods at him with a smile.

It was a fake smile, like a merchant's smile.

After entering the main hall, Ye Qing realized that he wasn't the only guest tonight. Lin Chen, Yang Haitao, Chu Yi Rong, Shen Long Fei, and a few others had all come.

Especially Chu Yi Rong, she stood up in surprise and disbelief when she saw him enter.

"Little Qing, why have you just arrived?"

Aunt Ye, who was carrying a plate of melon fruits into the main hall, scolded Ye Qing before turning her head and shouting, "Yanran, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you bring me a cup of tea? "

"Alright." Unlike in the evening, Ye Yanran had now returned to her usual cold demeanor.
