The innkeeper, composed and graceful, met Yuan Bao's gaze with a serene smile.
There was an elegance in her demeanor that suggested she had traveled far and seen much of the world.
Her poise was effortless, yet every movement exuded subtle warmth.
"Of course, my good sir," she replied, her voice soft, melodic, and perfectly controlled.
"My name is Bu Lianxiang. It is a pleasure to meet such a gentleman today," she introduced herself, her words flowing like a gentle, melodic tune.
"A fine name," Yuan Bao said without hesitation, his eyes sparkling and his voice filled with dramatic conviction.
"As beautiful as you are. Mine is Yuan Bao. I believe the heavens themselves have fated us to be together!"
The room erupted into laughter at his over-the-top declaration.
Surprisingly, Bu Lianxiang allowed herself a small, genuine smile, a fleeting crack in her composed exterior.
Her eyes softened just enough to convey amusement, though she maintained an air of calm dignity.
