Lu Manman walked down the long, wooden corridor toward the inner courtyard.

The scenery in the courtyard was extremely good. It was the peak of summer, so the lake was covered in lush lily pads, blessing them with a picturesque scene.

Lu Manman stopped right before a man.

The short-haired man, dressed in a white shirt, was taking photos of the lake with his cell phone. The sunlight fell on his face, making him appear elegant, clean, and almost artist-like.

As if noticing Lu Manman’s gaze, Di An smiled and put down his cell phone.

“What did you take?” Lu Manman asked.

“I was just randomly taking pictures.” Di An was still smiling.

Lu Manman walked over naturally and followed his gaze to see two figures from afar. She squinted and casually said, “Di Yi and Gu Xin.”

“Mm?” Di An looked up.

“I mean that they’re over there.” Lu Manman pointed in that direction.

Di An nodded and kept quiet.

“When did you come back?” Lu Manman changed the topic, and the two of them went back to normal.

“A few days ago.”

“Why did you decide to come back all of a sudden? I heard from Gu Xin that you didn’t want to come back.”

“I can’t possibly stay overseas for the rest of my life.”

“You went overseas because of Gu Xin?” Lu Manman asked directly.

Di An paused for a while and then laughed. “That’s all in the past. She’s in such a happy relationship with my brother now. I’m really happy for her.”

Lu Manman looked at Di An and did not say much in the end. “As you wish. I’ll go over and receive the guests.”

“Mm-hm.”

Before she left, she turned to look back at the radiant man before finally striding off.

She headed to the inner courtyard to entertain the guests with her parents. When it was time for lunch, the rest of the guests entered the living hall one after another. Lu Manman watched as Wen Yun and Jiang Yiyao entered. Wen Yun did not even glance at Jiang Yiyao for a second and just walked toward her directly, taking on the role of host with her.

Dinner went on amidst the elegant and reserved atmosphere.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Gu Xin said, “They say the four large and powerful families in Wen City are one aristocratic family. I was told that we are the talk of the town, but we have never really hung out together. Since everyone is here today, why don’t we go to the bar together?”

Gu Xin seemed to have mentioned this to Di Yi beforehand as Di Yi played along. “It’s true that we’ve never hung out before. Let it be my treat for everyone today.”

“It’s my grandpa’s banquet. How can I let you treat me? Let me treat,” Lu Manman said.

Wen Yun turned to look at her.

The Lu Manman of the past would never have participated in such events nor gone to a bar.

“You mean you agree?!” Gu Xin deliberately smiled very happily and turned to the others. “Our Manman never goes to bars. If you guys don’t go, you won’t be giving her face. You are coming right, Mo Yuanxiu?”

Mo Yuanxiu smiled nonchalantly. “I don’t mind. I’m just fooling around anyway!”

“Wen Yun will definitely come. Since Manman is coming, you have to as well.” Gu Xin started to invite more people.

“Of course.” Wen Yun smiled and pulled Lu Manman into his arms, declaring his right.

“Yiyao, come with us. We’re all young people, and…” Gu Xin looked at Di An and smiled. “Di An must come along. It’s been so long, and it’s rare for him to be back. We shall not return home until we are drunk.”
