Garden Party (3)

One of the young masters standing with the crowd of young masters stared blankly at the man, greeted by Mrs. Li. He felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

However, after racking up his brain for some time, he was suddenly overwhelmed by excitement and smacked the back of the head of the person standing beside him. “Oh~ Look! Haven’t you realised who he is? That is Xie Xuanchen and his wife!”

“What? Xie Xuanchen?” The young masters were all startled into fear. They quickly arranged their clothes and sat down properly, like a bunch of innocent and obedient children. Even the female entertainers who were sitting beside them didn’t dare make any movements.

Although they were all descendants of the official family, they were not the eldest son or the eldest grandson of the family. In other words, they were not the group that the family focuses on grooming so they just wasted their time by having fun all day long.

Therefore, they really didn’t know the appearances of the famous Prince An and Princess An. Fortunately, one of the young masters was alerted by his family after the incident with Song Wulang, the Prime Minister’s son. Many people in the capital were afraid that their descendants would follow Song Wulang’s footsteps and create unnecessary trouble. But, if, God forbid, their sons really provoked that person, they probably wouldn’t even be left with an intact body.

Luckily, this morning, the father of one of those young masters reminded him of Xie Xuanchen and also showed him the portrait, which made him able to recognize Xie Xuanchen. After he said that the man was Xie Xuanchen, everyone felt chills run down their backs as they all were praying to the Gods.

Xie Xuanchen must not have noticed that they were looking at Princess An just now. If he knew, it would surely be an end for them. Oh god, please don’t let Xie Xuanchen pay any attention to them.

What happened to Song Wulang after he provoked Xie Xuanchen was still vivid in their minds.

Mrs. Li was very attentive when she conversed with Mu Mingtang. In addition, Mrs. Li was indeed a person who was accustomed to dealing with all kinds of talk. She was very sophisticated and smooth-tongued, and her expressions were warm and amiable. It was very pleasant to talk to such a person, and Mu Mingtang, feeling comfortable, smiled happily as Mrs. Li herself led them to their designated table.

In the middle of this garden, there was a polo field and other activity venues surrounded by a circle of stands. Some stands were opened, some were covered with eaves, while some were crowded.

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were naturally chief guests with the highest position, so naturally the place with the perfect view and best decoration was reserved for them. After Mrs. Li led them to the table, she excused herself and went to entertain the other guests. Mu Mingtang understood very well that Mrs. Li was the hostess of today’s event, and of course, it was impossible for her to only care about her and Xie Xuanchen.

When Mu Mingtang first received the invitation, she immediately informed Mrs. Li that Mrs. Zhu and her family’s daughters would also come along with them. Mrs. Li happily agreed. Of course, she also arranged a table for the Zhu family. Afterwards, Mrs. Zhu thanked both Mu Mingtang and Mrs. Li for their generosity, and took her family’s young ladies back to their seats.

In the blink of an eye, everyone went to sit at their respective tables, and now only Xie Xuanchen was by Mu Mingtang’s side, accompanied by the maids in waiting. By this time, the place had turned extremely lively. The ladies greeted each other amiably after seeing each other. Some of the young masters and young ladies of different families were playing in the field, also urging their friends and companions. From time to time, boys and girls who were familiar with each other could be seen greeting and gazing at each other.

Mu Mingtang looked at this scene and sighed, giving a sincere comment, “Look, everything is so lively. Look at those young people and how they are enjoying themself.”

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she consciously looked at Xie Xuanchen with a teasing look in her eyes and a bright smile hanging on her lips “Oh… You are also a young man.”

Xie Xuanchen didn’t want to say anything at first, but he gave her a faint glance after he heard the jab: “Why, you are not? You are also a young woman, yourself.”

“You don’t have to pick words with me again.” Mu Mingtag pouted and looked at Xie Xuanchen disapprovingly.

“Who exactly was the one picking on whom?” Xie Xuanchen asked again.

“Then what are you doing now?” As Mu Mingtang asked, Xie Xuanchen stopped talking and looked at Mu Mingtang disbelievingly, and the maids around them quietly lowered their heads to hide their smiles and covered their mouths when they saw the deflated Prince An.
