Ye Tangtang looked at the exquisite little pastries before her, picked one up, and popped it into her mouth. As she ate, she swung her legs and hummed a little song.

Jun Yuyuan: "..."
"Jun Yuyuan, try one of these little pastries too. They're pretty tasty."
Ye Tangtang popped a little pastry into Jun Yuyuan's mouth and continued humming her little song, utterly delighted.
Shen Qingqing watched her daughter sitting beside Jun Yuyuan. When had Tang Tang become so close to him?
After finishing her pastries, Ye Tangtang began admiring the young gentlemen below. At a glance, she spotted the most dazzling of them all-the Young Marquis-and waved at him. He seemed to have noticed her too.
"It's the Young Marquis! The Young Marquis actually came too!"
Ye Tangtang was beside herself with excitement, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on her Young Marquis.
Jun Yuyuan followed Ye Tangtang's gaze. Sure enough, it was Xie Jingqian. He remembered Tang Tang saying last time that this Young Marquis Xie was her chief consort.
Jun Yuyuan's grip on his cup abruptly tightened, and several cracks appeared in the white cup... Without betraying a thing, he set it back on the table, where it suddenly split apart!
"Huh? Why did this cup suddenly crack?"
Ye Tangtang stared at the cup in surprise.
"It broke on its own. Do you like that Young Marquis very much?" Jun Yuyuan asked in a low voice, his tone revealing neither pleasure nor anger.
"Mm-hmm! Xie Jingqian excels in both literary and martial arts, and he has courage and cunning. He's handsome too-he's practically my perfect dream man." Ye Tangtang clasped her hands against her chest, looking utterly lovestruck.
Jun Yuyuan gave a cold snort and said nothing,
