4. First Date

I vented all at once, not knowing where I got such great lung capacity from

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" I asked, rubbing my hand that he had grabbed painfully, "It hurts so much!"

Yuan Mubin looked at me calmly and then handed me something. When I took it and looked, it was clearly the letter I had lost. The lace-patterned envelope was marked "To the Heir"

How do you know it's impossible? Perhaps we are destined to be together? I got a bit carried away in my excitement, and the words I spoke sounded a little strange

He seems to have a point; in that case, it is indeed my fault

Although I cannot be considered an invincible beautiful girl, I am not so unattractive that no one would want me! There is no need to deliberately emphasize the gap between us

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly: "I admit I read the letter; if I hadn't looked, how would I know this letter is yours?"

I clearly see that cold face, the thick eyelashes, and the nearly perfect features, yet there is an awe-inspiring aura, that of a king. His hair is draped in silver moonlight, gently flowing, exuding a sense of noble beauty

I immediately negated my own thoughts; everyone at the academy knows that he has a passion for architectural design, as evidenced by the school's library.

I have truly never encountered such an arrogant and cold-hearted individual, it infuriates me! I no longer wish to utter another word to him and am prepared to turn and leave

"You have no right to read my letter, you... you are invading someone else's privacy!" I said a bit angrily, "Do you not know that it is illegal to open someone else's letter without permission? You legal illiterate!"

However, this is not the time for fighting

Haha... how could your interests possibly be the same as mine?" He chuckled softly.

Although the will states this, my mother-in-law did not say that the inheritance rights cannot be transferred between the two heirs! As for why you and I were chosen to inherit Qingying Pavilion, it is not something that can be guessed at this moment." Yuan Mubin poked his chin with the index finger of his right hand, assuming a thoughtful pose, "Don't you think?

Psychological effect, psychological effect indeed! I am comforting myself

"No... that's not what I meant. I meant that there must be some connection, otherwise, how could we have been brought together for no reason?" I hurriedly explained

Why

I left the Yoman Garden corridor without looking back, the wind blowing through my hair, it was truly freezing. Why would someone come to such a place at night to discuss a will? This strange individual has put me in a terrible mood.

He sighed and said, "In fact, there are other matters for which I invited you here."

Other matters? ... This kind of place for couples to date, could it be ...! ... Impossible, such strange thoughts must be suppressed

He did not speak, pulling me towards the small grove by the corridor. With his long arms and legs, he walked quickly, showing no regard for me, forcing me to jog just to barely keep up with him

Why does it become more and more remote as I walk? Is it an attempt to rob me? But I haven't brought my wallet!

"Forget it, I cannot argue with you. Do you know why we were chosen as the heirs?" I steadied my mind and voiced the doubts that were in my heart.

Help! It's a robbery!

It turned out to be that guy with a wide-brimmed hat covering his head, standing with his back to the moon, his tall figure blocking my line of sight and the light ahead

Four large characters, but the letter has already been opened

To be honest, I have not studied this yet. However, inheriting alongside someone like you truly surprises me

Hearing his words, I stammered, "Then... you also must not... cannot peek!"

It was you who invited me, yet you still want me not to overthink

It seems that there are many pairs of eyes watching me wherever I go

"Is it you? Was that note left by you? Did you find my letter?" I asked directly, deliberately emphasizing my tone to mask the excitement within me

However, the will of my mother-in-law clearly states that we have equal inheritance rights. For whatever reason, you do not have the right to expel me.

Ah! I have run enough today

Is your IQ negative? There are countless people in the world with the same birth date and time, so why were you specifically chosen? I think you might as well go get your fortune told!

What kind of discussion is this? Clearly, it is a threat against me! Is having money really that impressive?

That would be the best! His lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, "Let me be direct, I hope you do not move to Qingying Pavilion"

What does it mean? I am completely confused by him; conversing with highly intelligent people indeed requires losing a few brain cells.

He frowned and said, "There is no reason; I do not wish to be disturbed, especially by a girl like you"

Not correct, it is the moonlight bright and the stars sparse

Do not regret!

Who wants to be with you

Regret? Rest assured, absolutely not! The word 'regret' has never existed in my dictionary!

This topic truly cannot be continued, but it is certain that he is completely unaware of why we were chosen as heirs

Come out quickly, come out quickly! I silently prayed, hoping at least one person would come out to help me end this awkward situation sooner.

Thinking of this, I feel a bit angry and also a slight sense of disappointment

Now my face must be as red as an autumn apple, but fortunately, the sky is relatively dark, so he hasn't noticed me

I looked around, searching for another guy who caught my eye like I did.

Damn it, could it be that I'm being deceived? Who is so bored?

This statement completely infuriated me. I said: "You... I never expected you to be this kind of person. You will not be able to buy me with money! I will be moving into the Qingying Pavilion soon. If you are unwilling to live with me, then feel free not to move in!"

Perhaps we share common interests! I blinked and expressed my guess.

He pulled down his hat and quietly looked at me. This time he faced the moon, his tall and slender figure appearing very stern under the illumination of the moonlight

"Do not get the wrong idea; I have no interest in girls with your appearance, body type, or intelligence." He noticed the complexity of my expression, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly adopted a nonchalant demeanor, "I invited you here simply because lovers do not have the time to pay attention to us"

I have quickly walked to the end of the corridor, yet no one has appeared

What did he say? Someone like me? Moreover, he even showed a look of disdain.

"No one with any sense believes in the arrangement of fate!" He expressed no interest in what I had to say

"Just say it directly, how much do you want to agree not to move into Qingying Pavilion? I can pay you whatever it is." He had his hands in his pockets, wearing an expression that suggested he looked down on the entire world.

"Did you invite me to this place just to return this letter to me? Wouldn't it have been better to just leave it in my dormitory?" I said, changing the subject.

Common ground? What common ground could there possibly be between us? Don't joke around!" After saying this, he began to scrutinize me from head to toe

If it were not for the letter that I lost, I would not come to such an embarrassing place

At eight o'clock in the evening, the moon is dark and the wind is high

Could it be something like the Eight Characters of Birth? I muttered to myself

Lovers can be seen everywhere, intimately leaning against each other, having long conversations under the moonlight, creating a sweet atmosphere that is truly enviable and jealousy-inducing! However, it feels quite strange to be walking here alone; who exactly invited me to such a peculiar place?

My face has been red all the way to my ears, oh my! It's Yuan Mubin!

The envelope clearly stated 'To the Heir.' Do not forget, I am also the heir of Qingying Pavilion. Such an important item was lost by you, and you still dare to blame me! His voice was very indifferent

Don't look at me like that, I never said it was about appearance! I have to admit that I am indeed not as good-looking as him

Having spoken, I let out a long sigh

I am somewhat unconvinced; I am the kind of girl who can excel in the classroom, grace the hall, and manage the kitchen, embodying the ideals of a new era "three good" girl

I wrapped myself in a coat and arrived at the Yoman Garden corridor, where the yellow forsythia blooms amidst the green foliage on both sides of the corridor, with the extending branches hanging over the seats. The night breeze sways the branches gracefully, scattering petals all over the ground

What is wrong with someone like me? Hmph! Perhaps it is precisely because we have commonalities that we inherited together!

Suddenly, a guy in a hoodie appeared out of nowhere, and with a "whoosh," he stood right in front of me, instantly plunging my vision into darkness

Are you referring to the inner self? You don't seem like a person of depth! He averted his gaze, revealing a punchable smile

The weather in March is somewhat cool, and the wind is quite strong, almost lifting my short skirt.

I find it very strange that he suddenly said such words

Yuan Mubin frowned slightly, somewhat surprised, and said: "I kindly discussed this with you, yet you refuse to agree. Well, since you are unwilling, do not blame me."

The moon hangs in the sky, with a few stars scattered across the night sky

Who said I was thinking inappropriately? It is those who accuse others of thinking inappropriately who are truly misguided! Hmph! Oh my God, do I really seem that self-deluded? I truly wish I could find a hole to hide in, yet I stubbornly continue to argue with him, saying, "Rest assured! I am not your fan, so please do not misunderstand!"

I shouted with all my might, but the person holding me remained indifferent, only tightly gripping my hand and continuing to move forward. I wanted to shake off his hand, but it was futile. It was not until we reached our destination that he finally let go of me
