The man apologetically shook his head: “I’m sorry, my young master didn’t instruct me to reveal his identity. I cannot speak of it!”
My heart suddenly felt empty…
Why, why after so long, haven’t you… come to see me?
At the entrance of Yixiao Tower, they had prepared a sedan chair that took us directly to Mochou Lake in Quanzhou City. By the lakeside, a luxurious pleasure boat was moored, surrounded by lanterns that illuminated the entire boat brightly.
Wan Wan helped me out of the sedan chair. The lakeside breeze carried a hint of coolness. Through the half-open window of the pleasure boat, I could vaguely see a figure in blue clothing sitting with their back facing the shore, the silhouette seeming somewhat familiar…
Unexpectedly, it was actually him.
“Young master, the Qinhuai courtesan has arrived!”
The person guarding the shore turned and respectfully reported to someone inside the boat.
“Please invite her aboard,”
A low voice emerged from the boat, strange yet slightly familiar, clearly not West Yin’s voice, which made me feel a sudden sense of disappointment.
Just as I was in a daze, the man opposite me smiled and reminded, “Miss, my young master requests your presence!”
I politely nodded and followed him onto the boat. The man inside slowly turned around, and the moment I saw his face, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s you?”
The man slightly furrowed his brow, looking at me with confusion, “Qinhuai miss, do we know each other?”
The person before me was still dressed in blue, with a handsome face, but his expression was extremely distant.
I unconsciously touched my face, relieved that my veil was still in place. I awkwardly laughed and said, “In Quanzhou City, who doesn’t know the young master of the Qi family!”
“However…” I deliberately paused, slowly curving my lips, “I didn’t expect Young Master Qi would be interested in courtesans like us!”
“No, you’re wrong!” Qi Yueran responded coldly, “I’m not interested in courtesans, I’m interested in you specifically!”
Ah?” I couldn’t help but blink, shaking my head: “Qin Huai doesn’t understand!
Qi Yueran coldly raised her lips and said: “Everyone knows that there’s a famous courtesan named Wan Yao in Yi Xiao Lou, and your appearance is enough to make people forget that name!”
“What do you mean?”
