The people who stayed in this neighborhood were basically either university leaders or professors. Plus, it was currently New Year's and so there were people walking all around the neighborhood. When they met someone they knew, they would stop and exchange greetings. There was no need to mention how lively it was.
Not long after Dou Xiangling and Ian came out, they were faced with a group of people. Dou Xiangling greeted them and the other party suddenly asked, "Xiangling, is this your boyfriend? He's really handsome."
Ian had a handsome appearance and he gave off the air of nobility. Not to mention, when Dou Xiangling greeted them, he would give them a gentlemanly smile, which made everyone think in that direction.
Dou Xiangling blushed and hastily denied it. "No, he's not. He's a guest who came to my house to give a New Year's greeting."
Ian did not refute her either, but he looked at her with an affectionate gaze.
