Chapter 1004: Disturbance (1)
Yan Junyu was not a petty man; in fact, he could be described as having a broad mind, but in front of the Chang’an County Master, he seemed like a different person—acerbic and easily ruffled, showing none of the transcendental poise he exhibited in front of others.
The pattern of interaction between him and the Chang’an County Master was also quite peculiar, hardly resembling that of childhood friends who had grown up together; instead, they were more like a pair of "deeply resentful" adversaries.
Mo Yan had no clear understanding of the grudge between Yan Junyu and the Chang’an County Master, but she could tell that Yan Junyu harbored no romantic feelings the Chang’an County Master. However, the affection in the eyes of the Chang’an County Master did not seem feigned, only well concealed by her fierce demeanor, impossible to detect without close attention.
No woman would be foolish enough to risk her lifelong happiness to take revenge on a man who had once played tricks on her. If she did, it would only mean that the man had a place in her heart and that she used a poor excuse to mask the modesty of a young lady!
Clearly, the Chang’an County Master had no intention of revealing her true feelings to Yan Junyu, and since Mo Yan had just met her, albeit with a good impression, she was not going to meddle in someone else’s emotional affairs.
Watching the two of them bicker endlessly at the dining table, and to prevent them from starting a fight and flipping the table at the slightest disagreement, she decisively released the Five Beasts from the Space—excluding the Red Python, which was too intimidating and had been rejected—to crack jokes and distract the pair with their antics in between them.
As expected from the lovable Rui Beasts, the Chang’an County Master, who already had a fondness for animals, was quickly charmed by the clever and agile Five Beasts, soon focusing solely on feeding them and forgetting all about Yan Junyu.
