Lee Junsheng was aware that it was not working, so he stopped trying to persuade him. “Forget what I said. You should at least give them a chance, though.”

“Never mind.” Huo Jinyao smiled. “I’ll let it go because of you.”

“Ha.” Lee Junsheng recalled something else. “There is something else, which I didn’t want to say.”

“Then don’t.” Huo Jinyao said playfully.

“You’re a nasty boy.” Lee Junsheng almost wanted to punch him. “I have to say this since you’re not going to let me. My cousin Xuanyao—”

“Stop,” Huo Jinyao interrupted, “I’m married.”

“What? Really?” Lee Junsheng was shocked. “You’re not lying to me just because you don’t want my cousin, are you?”

Lee Junsheng obviously knew that Huo Jinyao had no interest in He Xuanyao. Lee Wanxiang, his aunt, his father’s sister, had asked him to try to fix Huo Jinyao and He Xuanyao up, so he had had no choice.

He had never thought that Huo Jinyao had actually already gotten married.

“Yes, I am married.”

“So suddenly? Which goddess has won young Master Huo’s heart and made him leap into the grave of marriage?”

“You said she is a goddess? Then a goddess she is.” Thinking of Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao’s expression softened significantly.

Lee Junsheng looked at him as if he were an alien, but he clicked his tongue and accepted it as fact.

“Fine. It looks like you’ve found the woman of your dreams. In that case, I won’t say anything about my cousin. Next time, bring her out and introduce her to me.”

“No problem.” Huo Jinyao agreed readily but quickly remembered something. Lee Junsheng was now the mayor of Lin City; if he introduced him to Qingsang, how could that his childhood friend was now a mayor?

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Huo Jinyao shook his head but began to feel a headache coming on. Qingsang did not know his identity and believed everything he said. Now, it seemed that he had told too many lies, one after the other. What if Qingsang figured everything out eventually—

...

In the box, Huo Jinyao unconsciously expressed his worry on his face. Now he had to think about how he could cover up his lies in front of Su Qingsang.

The others did not sense his mood change. He Xuanyao, who believed that her cousin could persuade Huo Jinyao to marry her, was waiting for the wonderful night with Huo Jinyao.

Overjoyed, she occasionally signaled her brother to toast with Huo Jinyao.

Lee Junsheng drank more because Huo Jinyao was married. He also drank because he was no longer alone in Lin City because Huo was also there. Now that the mayor drank, the rest would not lag behind. A whole group of people began to take turns drinking with Huo Jinyao. Huo happened to be thinking about whether or not Su Qingsang would get angry if she knew everything. Then, gradually, he got drunk.

Seeing Huo Jinyao drunk, the excitement in He Xuanyao’s eyes became more and more obvious. She kept waiting until almost everyone was drunk and held Huo Jinyao up with her brother, who was relatively sober. As for their cousin, who wasn’t completely drunk, they could just call a waiter to take him upstairs to rest.

Lee Junsheng was very happy, so he drank a little too much. He was not, however, a wimpy drinker. He went to the bathroom and washed his face. When he sobered up a little, he went back but found that Huo Jinyao was gone.
