"Psh, in Capital City, which lady could be a match for the third young master Jun? Although I like him, I’m well aware of my place and wouldn’t dare entertain other thoughts. Who would be confident enough to date such a mythical figure? It’s nice to just look at him, fantasize a bit, but to talk about love? The daily pressure must be huge."
"But I still want to date him. Just thinking about it could make me die happy. If I could date such a handsome man, I’d die content."
"Let me tell you something funny. There’s this petty, third-rate family, something with the surname Ji, named Ji Hongyan. She goes around in our circle claiming she’s engaged to the third young master Jun and that they’ve even met each other’s parents. When I heard that, I called her out right then and there. She really has no idea how over her head she is."
"Well called out. How dare she fantasize about my idol."
When the socialites saw Jun Moyan, they were beyond excited, almost glued to him with their eyes. They wanted to go up and greet him, strike up a conversation, but they also felt a bit intimidated.
A few of the more daring ones from distinguished families did come up to offer him a drink, but all were ignored by Jun Moyan.
Jun Moyan headed straight for the sofa where Grandpa Gu was chatting with a few friends.
"Moyan?" Grandpa Gu was surprised and pleased to see Jun Moyan.
"Grandpa Gu, how are you?" Jun Moyan came forward to greet him.
After collecting himself, Grandpa Gu quickly stood up and sized up Jun Moyan from head to toe. "It’s been a while since I’ve seen you—you’re looking sharper than ever."
Perhaps because Elder Jun was particularly fond of Jun Moyan, Grandpa Gu had a soft spot for him as well.
It was mainly because of Jun Moyan’s likeable personality.
"What brings you today?"
Grandpa Gu knew very well that Moyan had a falling out with Sheng over Shangguan Yu, so why did he suddenly show up today?
If Moyan is here, could it be that the Shangguan kid has come too?
Grandpa Gu was slightly worried.
"My older brother is away on business and couldn’t make it, so I’m stepping in for him. Mainly, I’m here to visit you, Grandpa Gu."
Jun Moyan had just learned on the way here from Qing Yi that Jun Wuyang wasn’t available today, so he took the chance to use that as an excuse.
He came, naturally, because of Ais.
"How’s your grandfather doing?"
"Grandpa’s doing well, thank you for your concern, Grandpa Gu."
"That’s good to hear."
"I brought a gift in haste; I hope you’ll like it, Grandpa Gu." Jun Moyan took a rosewood rectangular box, about the size of an arm, from Qing Yi’s hands and presented it with both hands to Grandpa Gu.
Jun Moyan respected Grandpa Gu as much as he did his own grandfather. Three years ago, it was out of respect for Grandpa Gu that he couldn’t get involved in the matter between Shangguan Yu and Gu Sheng.
"Thank you, I appreciate it, you’ve got a heart." Grandpa Gu smiled as he took the box. "Now that you’re here, treat this place like your own home, don’t be a stranger." Follow current novᴇls on novelꜰire.net
"Okay." After greeting Grandpa Gu, Jun Moyan headed straight towards Gu Sheng and Ais.
Ais, noticing the approaching Jun Moyan, that nonchalant and punch-worthy smile appeared on his face again,
and as soon as Jun Moyan reached him, he blurted out, "Like a bad penny."
Seeing Jun Moyan, Gu Sheng’s brows furrowed immediately.
He glanced around the hall but didn’t spot Gu Yao, and his expression started to show concern.
"It’s just me and Qing Yi who’ve come." With one sentence, Jun Moyan dispelled Gu Sheng’s worry.
He knew what Gu Sheng was thinking.
Gu Sheng gave him a look, said nothing, and headed straight for the entrance...
Jun Moyan disregarded him and turned his attention to Ais.
"What, do I have flowers on my face?" Ais felt a tad uncomfortable under his scrutinizing gaze.
