From the moment she entered the door, she could already feel Song Yu Han's eyes glued to her figure. At first, she thought that he wouldn't see her with how many people were gathered in that wide grand hall. It wouldn't be surprising even if he didn't recognize her.
However, she was wrong.
The moment her foot had stepped into those huge and tall double doors, his focus was already locked on her and never leaving her figure.
Hence, the moment James approached her and even invited himself to sit beside her, Ran Xueyi already expected for Song Yu Han to come forward and interrupt them.
...
A few minutes ago, Song Yu Han was observing Ran Xueyi from where he sat. He appeared to be listening to his grandfather's rambling while sitting next to him, but who would have expected that his whole attention was drawn to one person only in this wide place.
With an over-focused expression, it seemed like his gaze would set ablaze anyone.
Even Old Master Song seemed to notice that his grandson was not paying attention to him. However, he couldn't call him out in front of everyone and thus, followed the direction where he was staring.
This time, Old Master Song was surprised at where this direction would land him.
Coincidentally, there was a beautiful lady in blue sitting alone in a table just located across from them.
Even if Old Master Song, who was suddenly injected with ultra happiness after hearing Song Yu Han's answer earlier, had to stop his ceaseless speech and look over.
The lady looked young and beautiful. She should be at the age of her early twenties and looking at how she carried herself despite how many people were secretly staring at her, she should be from a noble and wealthy family with good discipline.
With apricot-shaped eyes, long and naturally curled upward lashes, and pale skin, the lady looked brighter than any other girls in the party. There was no denying that the young and unmarried ladies who came to the party were beautiful and different from each other, possessing a different kind of beauty and personality.
But the lady sitting alone across from them was the brightest among them.
It was unknown whether Song Yu Han was staring at the lady across, but it was still rare for him to look as if he was in a daze as he looked in one direction. And it was a bit too long of a stare.
The corner of the old man's lips curved upward, forming a mischievous arc, as he leaned to the side and said with lowered voice, "What about the lady across from us?"
Song Yu Han: "..."
He hadn't even responded to that when he heard his grandfather speaking again.
"Ah, too bad, she already has someone with her."
At this time, a young man had already taken his seat at the beautiful lady's table. A look of disappointment crossed Old Master Song's face.
But obviously, Song Yu Han still didn't take his eyes from that table. Instead, the way his gaze looked that way, it seemed as if he was trying to set it on fire and drilling a hole everywhere.
Elder Song Yongzheng, who was sitting closely next to Old Master Song, noticed the two and also looked in front.
He asked: "What are you looking at?"
With one look in the direction where the two were staring, he was shocked. His eyes widened and went back to stare at Old Master Song with a quizzical look.
"Are you two looking at that lady?" Elder Song Yongzheng scratched his chin and thoughtfully said, "She's a new face. I wonder who she is?"
Old Master Song made a noncommittal sound.
He remembered that that particular table was reserved to be seated by a close friend he hadn't seen for a long time. It should be the Old Patriarch Ran.
Then, the lady should also be the eldest granddaughter he (opr) had told him (oms) about in the past.
Old Master Song was about to speak, but at this moment, Song Yu Han rose from his chair and stood up.
His low and deep voice rang out from the side as he hoarsely said: "She's my lover<anno data-annotation-id="6f217ccf-b2bf-48e9-978d-7a9c18499e77"></anno> ."
...
When Song Yu Han reached the table occupied by only two people, the surrounding area seemed to have been filtered with silence. More and more people turned their heads to glance at this widely-known young master from the Song family.
From the first time they found him standing next to Old Master Song, the guests couldn't help but straighten their backs and be more careful with their manners and conduct. Who didn't know that the prominent and cold Song Yu Han was a man to be feared? Not only because he had the Old Master Song's support behind him, Song Yu Han 's notorious actions from the previous years made them fear him inside their hearts.
How many people had fallen because they offended Young Master Song? Did any of these people ever resurface and see the light again?
Hence, seeing the aloof and indifferent young master stand up and walk over to a table, everyone had a rare tacit understanding. Their minds had already united while thinking that the two people in that particular table had somehow offended him.
But who would have known that the moment he stopped at the table, Song Yu Han would grab the back of the chair and suddenly sit at that table as if he should be there very naturally like it was his rightful place.
"Does it taste good?"
The low and hoarse voice sounded so deep and dark that Ran Xueyi could feel the danger coming from it slowly seeping into her heart.
Ran Xueyi: "...En, it tastes good."
"I know." Song Yu Han, "But you shouldn't just drink. You should eat something to pad your stomach."
"Okay," Ran Xueyi replied softly.
Suddenly, James, who never expected that young master Song would come over to their table felt slightly afraid. He politely greeted him, "Young Master Song, it's my pleasure to meet you!"
Song Yu Han glanced at him for a bit before he cooly responded, "I know."
Ah? What does he mean?
James Duan was slightly embarrassed by the lack of enthusiasm in Song Yu Han's response, but he couldn't blame the other. No, it feels like this is how he should respond.
He was obviously wearing formal attire and a member of the elites in the city, but in front of Song Yu Han, he was a lot more restrained and cautious and afraid.
One look was enough to see who was the dragon and the lizard among the two of them.
