After looking at the venue, Yan Nuo suddenly said, “Why are these people here?” He was referring to the waiters who were passing through the hall and serving the guests.

  These were all professional attendants, not their servants.

  Yan Yu was used to this. She said, “No one wants to come into contact with cheap people. They think the cheap people will corrupt them.” So there was not a single cheap person in this room tonight.

  Yan Nuo thought of something and his gaze darkened.

  But he did not react in any special way.

  Yan Yu took a sip of wine and leaned on Yan Nuo’s shoulder. She said in Yan Nuo’s ear, “I will never find a man from India to be my husband in the future.”


  Yan Nuo did not ask why.

  Everyone had something that they wanted. He would not interfere with what they wanted to pursue.

  The banquet was held at 7: 30 pm sharp.

  When it was almost 7: 20 pm, Annita arrived with her daughter, Vera.

  Vera’s mother’s name was Annita. When Yan Nuo and Yan Yu saw her, they had to address her as aunt.

  Annita was only 36 years old this year. She had given birth to Vera when she was 19 years old. At 36 years old, she had a beautiful figure and a charming appearance. She was wearing a sari dress embroidered with silver and covered half her face with a shoulder veil. Her eyes that were exposed outside the veil were covered with exquisite makeup, making them look especially charming.

  Vera stood beside her. She was wearing a purple negligee with a purple strap that had been modified. Her long brown hair was styled into big wavy curls. She wore high heels and held her mother’s hand. The moment she appeared, she became the most dazzling pearl.

  Yan Yu said to Yan Nuo, “Weila is very beautiful tonight.” She was telling the truth.

  Vera looked even more outstanding than her mother.

  Her outfit tonight was indeed stunning.

  Yan Nuo looked at Vera.

  Yan Nuo and Vera had grown up together. Their parents had a deep friendship. Vera’s father had died to save his mother. Logically speaking, Yan Nuo should dote on Vera. In fact, Yan Nuo had been very concerned about her all these years.

  As she grew older, Vera became more and more feminine.

  Her figure was very sexy. She was only 17 years old, but she was already almost 1.7 meters tall. Tonight, Vera’s graceful figure was wrapped in a light purple dress. Her waist was sexy and charming, and her appearance was exquisite. When she smiled, she was even more charming.

  The seventeen-year-old Yan Nuo was at the age when his heart was easily moved.

  Amongst his peers, he naturally noticed the most beautiful and dazzling Vera.

  Yan Nuo put down his glass and walked towards Vera.

  “Annita and Vera, welcome.” Yan Nuo greeted Annita before looking at Weila.

  Over the past two years, as she grew older and gained more experience, Vera’s temper had also been restrained. At least, when she didn’t like someone, she wouldn’t show it in front of others. After she arrived today, when she didn’t see Yan Nuo with that little slave, she was in a good mood.

  She called out sweetly to Yan Nuo, “Brother Yan Nuo.”


  Yan Nuo nodded and his gaze was still on her.

  Yan Nuo felt that Vera had really grown up. Not only did she grow up physically, but also mentally.

  Vera blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

  Annita saw the interaction between the two of them and was slightly happy. She said to Yan Nuo, “Ah Nuo, you’re going to America tomorrow. After your mother is gone, you’re considered half my child. I was worried, so I came with Vera to see you.”


  Annita’s words were true. Ever since Mother Yan passed away, Annita had indeed treated him and Yan Yu as her own children.

  Every few days, she would call them to visit her house for a meal and chat. However, the siblings were very busy and rarely went to meet her.

  Yan Nuo said, “Thank you for your concern.”


  Annita smiled and saw someone she knew. Then she said, “You youngsters have something to talk about, so I won’t bother you. I see an old friend. Excuse me.”


  “Okay.”


  Seeing that Annita was walking towards someone she knew, Vera looked at Yan Nuo and said, “Brother Yan Nuo, it’s very noisy here. Shall we go out for a walk?”


  Yan Nuo did not object.

  The two of them left and many people saw them.

  Everyone lowered their heads and chatted, wondering if these two would become a couple.

  They walked out of the hall without speaking. They walked quietly side by side until they reached the back garden.

  There were roses planted in the back garden, and Vera plucked one.

  Yan Nuo frowned and said, “Why did you pick it? The flowers look good. They only look good when they’re blooming there.”


  Vera said coquettishly, “But I like it.”


  Yan Nuo disagreed with her habit of picking a flower to admire.

  “Don’t do this again.”


  Vera was afraid of Yan Nuo.

  Vera stuck out her tongue and apologized to him.

  Yan Nuo said that it was fine.

  The two of them sat down on a stone stool. Vera suddenly asked Yan Nuo, “Where’s your little slave?”


  Yan Nuo said, “All the servants are not present tonight.”


  Vera was relieved.

  He also knew that she was a servant. This was a good sign.

  “You’re leaving tomorrow.” The girl’s tone was filled with reluctance and attachment.

  However, Yan Nuo was a taciturn person and could not tell.

  He nodded and did not say anything else.

  Vera was a little angry. She hit Yan Nuo’s leg with the rose and pretended to throw a tantrum. “You’re leaving tomorrow. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”


  Yan Nuo said, “Yes.”


  Vera looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

  She waited for a long time before Yan Nuo said—


  “Study hard and try to get into a good university.”


  Vera was speechless.

  The smile on her sweet, beautiful face swayed and almost disappeared.

  “Don’t you have anything else to say?” Vera had given him enough hints. Even if he was a blockhead, he should be able to tell.

  Yan Nuo was not really stupid. He just did not think that way about her.

  It was impossible for Yan Nuo not to understand Vera’s hint.

  He pondered this for a moment before saying, “We’re both still young now. There are some things I’m not ready for.” He felt that liking someone was a lifetime thing. So far, although he had feelings for Vera, he hadn’t reached the point where he would acknowledge her in this life.

  Vera’s eyes dimmed.

  However, Yan Nuo said again, “But I don’t really like anyone now. When I graduate from West Point, I’ll tell you my thoughts.”


  Vera said, “Then if you fall in love with someone else, you have to tell me.”


  Yan Nuo agreed.

  “Oh right, I have a gift for you.” Vera opened her handbag and took out a watch.

  It was a Big Dipper satellite watch that was suitable for military use. It was not cheap……
