章節 318: 158: Forced to marry by threatening with death

The Gaganqing Palace, adorned with red and green, was bustling with activity. The men's side of the Feihu Entertainers was particularly lively, with non-stop applause and occasional cheers heard.

Shang Junyan sat on a green stone beside a fake mountain, with Shu Xuebo, who had just arrived, seated next to him. Shu Xuebo was dressed like a peacock today, looking extremely pleased with himself and somewhat asking for a beating.

"Heir Shang, so many young ladies of noble birth and exceptional beauty have come to today's banquet. Have you taken a liking to any of them?" Shu Xuebo asked playfully.

Shang Junyan despised idlers who didn't strive for progress, so he didn't have much of an inclination towards Shu Xuebo. He was impatient when he heard Shu Xuebo talking to him but couldn't leave abruptly due to politeness. Moreover, Shu Xuebo was Yan Qiongsi's cousin and was deliberately asking him such questions, making his intentions all too obvious.
