The Beautiful Time With You

Old Master Lin's grandson rarely appears in such events. I always thought that he was young, but before I know it, he's already a grown-up. I wonder if he's betrothed to anyone yet. Our daughter seems to be around the same age as him."

"You can drop that thought now. Old Master Lin has already decided on his granddaughter-in-law many years ago…"

"…"

Amidst the evaluating gazes and discussions of the crowd, Lin Jiage nonchalantly looked around the banquet hall before his gaze finally fell upon Shi Yao and Lin Jiayi.

Compared to those curious gazes directed at him, those two people sure was a refreshing sight to look at…

One of them was busy taking selfies with her camera, and the other one was staring in a certain direction without blinking in the least.

Looking at Shi Yao's face, Lin Jiage could tell that she hadn't noticed the commotion going on in the banquet hall at all. With a deep sigh, he traced her line of sight and finally saw the longevity peach cake which she was looking so fixated at. A row of ellipsis appeared above his head, "…"

So, his presence didn't even come close to matching a longevity peach cake?

Lin Jiage felt utterly helpless. Seeing that Shi Yao had no intention of looking his way at all, he could only start moving his legs and walk toward her instead.

Along the way, there were quite a few people who greeted Lin Jiage.

Other than some elders, there were also a few gorgeous young ladies too.

Out of politeness, Lin Jiage would greet the elders back. As for those seemingly demure young ladies who were looking at him with glowing eyes, he simply directed a nod at them before passing them by.

Even up to the point that he walked up to Shi Yao's side, she was still staring at the longevity peach cake.

So, other than clamping down all of his and Soft Bun's peach blossoms, he still had to fight with delicious food over her affection too?

Lin Jiage couldn't help but feel that there was a long road ahead of him. Feeling a little stifled inside, he deliberately adjusted his position and stood in the way of Shi Yao and the longevity peach cake.

When Shi Yao's sight of the longevity peach cake was blocked by a massive shadow, a slight frown formed on her forehead and a hint of unhappiness surfaced on her face.

Lin Jiayi, due to her lighting suddenly turning dark, glanced at the huge obstacle known as Lin Jiage and grumbled, "Can't you move aside? You're blocking my lighting over here! You made my photos look darker than they should be!"

The Lin Jiage who had noticed the slight change in Shi Yao's expression and heard Lin Jiayi's complaints: "…"

Was he getting scorned by the two of them?

The frustrated Lin Jiage walked away from the spot and pulled out the chair beside Shi Yao. After settling down on the chair, he turned to Shi Yao and asked, 'What time did you arrive?"

"A little past five…" Shi Yao replied concisely as her gaze started drifting off to the longevity peach cake once more.

There were two slightly more gutsy women who came over to propose a toast to Lin Jiage at this moment, but Lin Jiage feigned as if he hadn't heard them at all.

Instead, with his eyes still looking intently at the side of Shi Yao's face, he continued asking, "The driver brought you here?"

Shi Yao didn't even bother looking at Lin Jiage as she replied with a very perfunctorily "Un".

However, Lin Jiage was unfazed by her inattention in their conversation, He continued trying, "The end-of-semester examinations are coming soon. How is your revision coming along?"

Seeing that Lin Jiage had no intention of bothering with them, the two gutsy women could only take their leave embarrassedly.

This time though, Shi Yao finally turned to glance at Lin Jiage and replied uncertainly, "I guess I am somewhat ready?"

Soft Bun is finally looking at me…

Lin Jiage suddenly felt his mood rising to new high. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Lin Jiayi suddenly cut in, "Yaoyao, do you want to take some pictures with me?"

"Sure…" Shi Yao said as she turned to Lin Jiayi.

Feeling as if his hard work had suddenly been undone, Lin Jiage glared at Lin Jiayi with an incensed look in his eyes.

Lin Jiayi simply raised her eyebrows slightly in response before wrapping her arm around Shi Yao to snap a few photos together.
