Chapter 387 - 167: Suddenly Getting the Center-of-Attention Script (3)

The men on both sides of him forcefully pushed him aside, crowded around Yun Wanqing, mimicked him in greeting her, and offered their blessings.

With him setting a precedent, the others also wanted to touch the little miss’s small hand. After all, she was the leader’s precious gem. If they couldn’t hold her, touching her was good enough.

Yun Wanqing’s hand was once again snatched, and this time, it was a real struggle.

It wasn’t until Yun Zheng personally came over to urge them, that these people reluctantly backed away, placed their gifts, and returned to the private room to sit in the seats arranged for them.

The seats were almost filled.

Because of duty arrangements, all the guards and servants were divided into two groups to take turns sitting.

As for the Yun Family, except for Shang Rong who had a high fever, all were present, even the long-absent Miss Yin Shuang had arrived.

She still wore a mask and a smoky blue long dress. Her aura was cold and ethereal, with a slender waist that seemed too delicate to hold, exuding a suffocating beauty and an unapproachable nobility.

Seeing her, Yun Wanqing was very happy.

[Ah, it’s Sister Yin Shuang, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Sister Yin Shuang.]

[I must say, Sister Yin Shuang and Seventh Uncle are really a match made in heaven, they are simply a perfect couple.]

[Speaking of which, I must praise Seventh Uncle’s taste, he truly has an eye for beauty. He chose Sister Yin Shuang straight away even during her most downtrodden time.]

[Look at Sister Yin Shuang’s figure and aura, I can’t help but drool when I see it. No wonder she caught Seventh Uncle’s eye.]

The Yun Family: "..."

"Ahem..."

Lady Yun was choked, quickly taking a handkerchief to cover her mouth and coughed quietly, while Yun Wanyao put down the chopsticks in her hand and silently patted her back.

On such an occasion, drinking was inevitable, thus Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan were not seated here, but were taken away by close associates.

At this table, there were only the women of the Yun Family and some close associates’ families.

The others couldn’t hear Yun Wanqing’s thoughts, but seeing Lady Yun being choked, they quickly expressed their concern and kindness towards her.

Meanwhile, Yun Chuchu instinctively turned her inquisitive gaze toward Yin Shuang.

What did Xiao Ningning say?

This girl and Seventh are a match? Seventh’s heart has been moved?

Could it be, that this young lady really has something going on with Seventh?

She originally thought this girl sat here because she was one of the close associates’ families, but unexpectedly, she had a connection with Seventh.

The problem was, she had never heard Seventh mention her.

She carefully observed Yin Shuang, feeling somewhat unsatisfied. Although this girl was beautiful, she seemed a bit unusual.

A perfectly fine young lady, who wears a mask in public? It’s not like she can’t show herself.

Moreover, her temperament was a bit cold, not seeming easy to get along with.

Although Seventh was not young anymore, he couldn’t marry a difficult woman randomly. What if she didn’t get along with the sister-in-law in the future?

"Miss Yin Shuang, where are you from? What does your family do?"

With a gentle smile, she softly engaged in conversation with Yin Shuang.

Upon hearing this, several of the close associates’ families looked over out of curiosity, while Lady Yun and the two daughters appeared somewhat surprised.

"My ancestral home is far from the Capital."

Yin Shuang was slightly startled, put down her chopsticks, looked up at her, and responded humbly yet assertively, then closed her mouth.

As for Yun Chuchu’s second question, she acted as if she hadn’t heard it.

Yun Chuchu was taken aback, that’s it... nothing more?

Just as she was about to continue her questioning, Lady Yun smiled and said, "Chuchu, why are you so interested in Miss Yin Shuang’s affairs?"

Lady Yun intentionally interrupted Yun Chuchu.

She understood fully well that Yun Chuchu could hear Yun Wanqing’s thoughts, and upon knowing that the girl had a deep connection with Seventh, wanted to inquire.

But Miss Yin Shuang was no ordinary person; her identity couldn’t withstand such scrutiny. If she kept pressing, it would just make things difficult for her.

"Oh, nothing, just seeing Miss Yin Shuang’s extraordinary demeanor made me curious."

Yun Chuchu deflected the question with a vague reply.

She dared not admit it was because she heard Xiao Ningning say the girl had a connection with Seventh, and hence wanted to find out more.

"Ha, Miss Yin Shuang is not only dignified but also wise and gracious. I like her very much~"

"Of course, you and Miss Yin Shuang aren’t familiar yet. I believe once you get to know her, you’ll like her very much too."

"Come, I toast to everyone, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my daughter’s hundred-day banquet."

After praising Yin Shuang a bit, Lady Yun raised her glass, and with a few words, shifted everyone’s attention.

[Eh, something’s not right...]
