On the day Su Juan went to Jing Garden and happened to encounter Cai Yi, Xie Xun eagerly followed her, under the pretense of helping her assess the situation.
Su Juan explained repeatedly, "I'm just here to look around casually. I didn't plan to make any connections, so go ahead and take care of your own matters."
Xie Xun's eyes curved into a smile, "What matters could I possibly have? Accompanying you is the biggest matter of all."
He shook the paper fan in his hand, looking around. Don't think he didn't know—Su Juan was here to have a chance encounter with Cai Yi, to befriend this hypocrite whom he had enmity with.
He had earnestly advised her extensively the past two days, but Su Juan hadn't listened to a single word.
[Such a grown man, always following me.] Su Juan sipped her tea, shaking her head.
She looked around, puzzled internally, [I've come several times, why haven't I seen Cai Yi yet?]
