"I… didn't think you'd be friends with Commander Yu Zhen," Marquis Ning Guahe slowly said, careful to not offend any of his guests.

"You know of him?" Li Xueyue was surprised, to which Yu Zhen nudged her, clearly offended. She smirked a little, happy that she found one of his sore spots.

"Yes. It'd be strange to not know the Second Prince of Hanjian."

Second Prince? Li Xueyue blinked once, twice and thrice. 'Great, he's someone else I can't outrun from.'

"I didn't know that Hanjian's royal family was that famous."

"Well, they used to be our enemy. Most people are naturally curious," Marquis Ning Guahe cautiously explained, his eyes darting from Li Xueyue to Commander Yu Zhen. Never in a million years would he think that a simple woman like Xueyue was acquainted with this man. It was peculiar.

"Regardless, it's a pleasure to meet you, Prince Yu Zhen." Marquis Ning Guahe warmly smiled.

Yu Zhen nodded and replied, "Sure."
