Chapter 77
Feng Jiao Xue rested at the side along with Mo Tianze. Liang Feng had long been pulled by the imperial officials and nobles amongst the crowd. She can get a glimpse of him every once in a while.
She is actually impressed. Worthy of a noble prince, Liang Feng have perfectly crafted a ’genuine’ smile that reached his eyes, his laughters light and his gaze focused pulling you in with his charm and warm persona. Yet, able to maintain that distinguished aura that commands admiration and respect.
As Feng Jiao Xue observed the various guest, discreetly listening to passing conversations between people. Taking notes to remember possible valuable... ’information’ for future use. Her gaze seemingly idle, but in reality, her mind was keenly attuned to the passing conversations around her. She discreetly took note of snippets of discussions, cataloging whispers of future alliances, old grievances, and concealed ambitions. In the world she lived in, knowledge was more valuable than gold, more lethal than a blade in the dark.
Glancing to the front, Feng Jiao Xue pretended not to see her grandfather drinking shots offered one after another while ’humbly’ accepting their praises despite his proud gait.
A sigh almost escaped her lips but a familiar voice interrupted her musings.
"Mhmn~" While Feng Jiao Xue silently watched the on goings of the celebratory banquette Mo Tianze enjoyed the sweets with an expression of pure bliss, "Sister, here. Ah~" Mo Tianze offered and Feng Jiao Xue silently opened her mouth as he picked up a spoonful of parfait, offering it to her with bright eyes.
His enthusiasm was infectious, and without hesitation, Feng Jiao Xue silently accepted the treat, letting the delicate sweetness explode on her tongue.
She closed her eyes briefly, savoring the contrast of velvety cream and rich fruit feeling the sweetness explode in her tongue at the parfait that Mo Tianze fed her.
"Sister, it’s so good right?" Mo Tianze exclaimed while others looked at his excitement in distain.
"I can’t believe the clan allowed a filthy demi-beast in their prestigious halls"
"I know right, so crass."
