The noble ladies in the capital all have a common moonlight in their hearts. Xie’s eldest son, Xie Yun, is exceptionally handsome and noble.But Sang Yao does not like him. It all started when she accidentally sprained her foot next to him. He could have reached out to support her, but instead, he casually dodged aside, watching Sang Yao fall, causing her to lose face.
Sang Yao: ╰(‵□′)╯
Sang Yao remembered this for a long time. Every time she passed by Xie Yun, she would snort in anger. But Xie Yun never looked at her.
Sang Yao: even more annoyed (`Δ?)!
Until one day, Sang Yao happened to pick up Xie Yun’s notebook, and when she opened it— Not only did it detail Xie Yun’s infatuation with her, but there were also many romantic stories with the two of them as the main characters. What was even more outrageous was the love letters Xie Yun wrote to her, so rich in emotion, it was simply outrageous!
Sang Yao was furious and slammed the notebook shut, her face flushed red.
From then on, she looked at Xie Yun differently.
Indeed, even the most outstanding people have their troubles. Xie Yun, who seems to be able to do anything, is actually just a poor guy who loves her but doesn’t dare to say a word to her in reality, and can only fantasize about her in his dreams every day.
Sang Yao has always been soft-hearted and occasionally takes the initiative to talk to Xie Yun. Xie Yun remained cold. Sang Yao: Just shy.
Later, there were changes in the clan, and Sang Yao had no choice but to seek Xie Yun. For Xie Yun, this was just a meeting that needed to be perfunctory.
He looked cold and said indifferently, “Miss, please leave, this matter has been settled.” She knew this dog of a man wouldn’t easily agree to her request. Without saying a word, Sang Yao went up and kissed him on the cheek, “Stop pretending, it’s time to act.” … In the silence, the two looked into each other’s eyes. The once famous and always calm Xie Yun finally began to take this daring girl seriously.
