CHAPTER 1106: CHAPTER 225: EMBROIDERED PILLOW, ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS SHOWDOWN (PART 2)

A shadow of Yan Song flashed through her mind. She shook her head. Meng Junci, what are you thinking?

"Miss Meng, let’s walk together." Dongfang Yi and Jiang Hanbi approached from either side.

Meng Junci didn’t have a good impression of them, so she said nothing and walked ahead with her head down.

When they reached a secluded area, Yun Ya broke free from his hand and turned to look at him: "Brother Yan, why are you here?"

"What, not welcoming me?" Yan Song raised an eyebrow.

Yun Ya glanced around: "That person seems to be someone quite formidable. Is it really okay to offend him for my sake?"

"A man would go to war over a beauty, that’s just my character." As he spoke, he suddenly extended an arm to brace against the wall beside Yun Ya’s ear, trapping her in the corner. He lowered his eyes to look at her face; they were so close they could hear each other’s breath. Yun Ya’s heart suddenly began to race.

"Do you want to make our relationship public?"

"Do you think it can still be hidden?" Yan Song raised an eyebrow.

Yun Ya gritted her teeth, her eyes catching a shadow flicker at the base of the wall. She stood on tiptoe, cupped Yan Song’s face, and kissed him.

Surprise flashed in Yan Song’s eyes, and he pressed her against the wall, deepening the kiss.

Yan Fu was just passing by and saw what seemed like a couple in the corner. He lowered his head and walked by quickly. Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks; why did that back look so familiar?

A quick glance revealed it unmistakably: it was Young Master Yan Song, and his posture was concealing the person behind him completely, except for the hem of a skirt. Yan Fu went through his mind and instantly remembered who the woman was.

The girl brought in today by the Third Lady, unexpectedly with Young Master Yan Song...

"The banquet has started, the Third Lady, Third Master, and the Old Master have all gone over. Young Master Yan Song should hurry over too." Saying that, he hurried off.

Yun Ya tugged on his sleeve: "Brother Yan, are you scared?"

"Scared of what?" Yan Song rubbed her head: "What nonsense are you thinking, let’s go, we’ll head over there."

As they walked silently, Yun Ya said softly: "With so many complications, Brother Yan, how will you compensate me?" Her tone was rather aggrieved.

Yan Song smiled, "What kind of compensation do you want?"

"I want to eat you up." Yun Ya glared at him, feeling more upset the more she thought about it.

Yan Song raised an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling like stars: "Happy to oblige."

Realizing he was misunderstanding again, Yun Ya pinched his arm hard: "What are you thinking?"

"Am I the one misunderstanding? Why do I feel you’re the one in a rush?" Yan Song said, laughing heartily.

Yun Ya glared at him, quickening her pace to leave him behind: "I’m done talking to you."

Seeing her upset, Yan Song helplessly smiled and caught up with her.

"Yun Ya." Yan Hua approached from the opposite direction: "Finally found you."

Yun Ya walked quickly over: "What’s wrong?"

Yan Hua glanced at the following Yan Song and instinctively shrank back, calling out, "Big Brother."

Yan Song’s expression was cold, which instinctively made Yan Hua feel a chill in his heart.

Yan Hua pointed at her clothes: "It’s dirty, I’ll take you to change."

Yun Ya looked down at the blood-stained front of her dress. Blood on a day like today was not auspicious. Yun Ya nodded: "That would be great, thank you."

Yan Hua smiled: "No need for politeness between us."

Yun Ya turned to Yan Song, who had caught up: "Brother Yan, I’m going with Huahua to change clothes. You should go first; don’t wait for me."

Yan Song frowned and said, "I’ll come with you." After what had just happened, he vowed not to leave Yun Ya’s side for the rest of the day.

Yan Hua chuckled: "Just let Big Brother follow. Your relationship is already known by everyone, keeping it hidden would be inappropriate now."

Yun Ya nodded: "Alright then."

The three of them headed to the East Pavilion. Along the way, the servants they passed found it strange to see Yan Song following closely like a shadow behind Yan Hua and Yun Ya. Some of the servants hadn’t seen Yun Ya before, so they couldn’t help but look at her a few more times, thinking how beautiful she was and wondering which family’s lady she was, as they hadn’t seen her before.

"Auntie."

Yi Suchen walked over, and Yan Hua stopped to greet her.

"Second Lady." After a moment of hesitation, Yun Ya greeted her.

Yi Suchen glanced at Yan Song trailing behind and slightly curved her lips, saying, "Just call me Second Mother, like Ah Song does."

Yun Ya blushed slightly as Yan Song walked to her side, holding her hand and calling out, "Second Mother."

Yun Ya softly echoed: "Second Mother."

Yi Suchen smiled, "The banquet’s about to start, where are you all heading?"

Yan Hua explained with a smile: "Yun Ya’s dress is dirty, so I’m taking her to change."
