During the banquet, Shangguan Yunli, who emerged from the crowd with a wine glass in hand, couldn't help but take a sip of his drink as he watched the perfectly in-sync couple dancing in the ballroom, his peach-blossom eyes curving.
It looked like Tingshen had really fallen this time, he had never seen him look at anyone with such an intoxicated and focused gaze before.
He really didn't understand why Ye Xian was so unmoved. Even for himself, were he pursued by such an outstanding man, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be tempted to sway.
Perhaps... Ye Xian was only angry and acting out because of his sudden intrusion earlier, purposefully uttering those harsh words to cover up his true feelings?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted Tingshen's closeness without resistance and even accepted it gladly.
Mouths can lie, but bodies never do.
That was his mistake then.
Since he had ruined Tingshen's opportunity, he ought to make up for it properly.
Create another chance?
