Qiu Nian nodded, then turned around and walked towards the door, heading towards Xinyue Pavilion.
After arriving at the destination.
"It's good to see you again, Mr. Qiu Nian. Miss Qing Lan has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."
The bespectacled, refined middle-aged man smiled politely at Qiu Nian.
"This sounds like a wealthy family..."
Upon hearing this name, Qiu Nian murmured to himself.
"May I ask how long Miss Qinglan has been waiting for me?"
Qiu Nian looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and asked.
"It must have been about an hour."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man spoke to Qiu Nian.
Qiu Nian was somewhat surprised to hear this.
But she still followed a young maid named Yue Shu into the New Moon Pavilion.
We arrived at that private room.
In the elegant private room, there was a woman with long black hair, who looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, wearing a white dress and with the Eye of the Ice God tied at her waist.
He was standing in the private room, flipping through a book.
She has a very gentle and beautiful appearance, and overall looks like a lady from a well-to-do family.
"We meet again, Mr. Qiu Nian..."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qinglan closed her book and spoke softly to Qiu Nian.
Qiu Nian nodded and then sat down in her seat.
"This handsome gentleman sits upright with a straight and tall back, which is very natural and proves that he is very well-mannered."
Yue Shu looked Qiu Nian over and smiled.
Uncle Mingming did not arrange any marriage for Sister Qinglan.
There was no such family as "that family"...
Why has Sister Qinglan been saying lately that she's getting married soon?
As soon as Qiu Nian sat down, Yue Shu picked up the teapot and poured tea for her.
"Um..."
"I wonder which young man will benefit from this."
After taking a sip of tea, Qiu Nian turned her gaze to Qing Lan, who had just taken her seat.
Meanwhile, Qinglan was also watching Qiu Nian.
Qiu Nian frowned slightly, sensing something strange.
She just said they met again...
Have I seen her somewhere before?
"Miss..."
After pouring tea for Qiu Nian, Yue Shu poured tea for Qing Lan as well.
Qiu Nian felt somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
"Mr. Qiu must be curious about how Yue Shu addresses me..."
"Actually... this Crescent Moon Pavilion was opened by my father."
Seeing Qiu Nian's puzzled look, Qing Lan explained.
"I see."
"I heard from the head of the hall that this matter is related to the wedding. I wonder if Miss Qinglan could elaborate?"
Qiu Nian nodded upon hearing this, then asked Qing Lan across the table.
Although he remained outwardly calm, he was actually quite surprised inside.
Good heavens... The person who owns this Crescent Moon Pavilion is actually this little girl's father?
You should know that Crescent Moon House is the best moon restaurant in Liyue Harbor.
Moreover, they only serve a few tables of guests at fixed times each day...
Sometimes you have to book about three months in advance.
Moreover, those who can afford to dine here are almost all high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Isn't this a typical rich kid?
Seeing this, Qinglan gestured for Yueshu to step down.
Yue Shu nodded, then walked out of the private room, closing the door behind her.
"It's like this... Mr. Qiu Nian, that was when I was a very young child. I had a playmate back then, and we played together all the time when we were little."
"So our parents arranged a marriage for us. A few months ago, my father said that I would marry into the family soon."
"But so much time has passed, and I haven't seen that playmate for many years..."
"Time can change a person a lot. I always felt that I should meet him first and see what kind of person he is now."
"But Father..."
Qinglan slowly recounted the story to Qiu Nian.
After listening to Qinglan's account, Qiu Nian roughly understood what had happened.
It's probably because his father believed in marrying someone of equal social standing.
Because this little girl's ancestors were all high-ranking officials and nobles, she also has a nostalgic mindset.
They believe that the couple should not meet before marriage.
She had also investigated the family privately, but they were always deliberately hiding something, making it impossible for her to get to the bottom of it.
Her father treated her well; on the contrary, he doted on her.
But this was the one thing she couldn't change her father's mind no matter what she said.
The story is quite melodramatic...
He can see a person's past, so what Qinglan said never actually happened.
She also has no memory of her childhood playmates.
Chapter 73 The Strange Sunny Weather
But this made Qiu Nian even more confused.
He could tell that the little girl wasn't faking it at all.
In other words, she genuinely believed that she was about to be forced by her father to marry her so-called childhood friend.
Could it be that her perception has been altered?
Just as Qiu Nian was pondering, Qing Lan spoke.
"so..."
"I want Mr. Qiu to pretend to be my lover and see how that family and my father react."
“If it were an ordinary young talent, that family would definitely become suspicious.”
"But if it were Mr. Qiu Nian, perhaps this problem wouldn't exist."
Qinglan looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and began to explain.
Looking at Qinglan, who spoke these words in a normal tone with a slight smile, Qiu Nian felt very surprised.
There are definitely no shortage of talented young people in Liyue Harbor...
Why did this young girl specifically ask for his name?
Have we met before?
"Or rather, have you seen or heard about me somewhere?"
Looking at Qinglan in front of her, Qiu Nian asked this question.
"I've seen it before..."
"Have you forgotten? You were taking a stroll at the Wangshu Inn when I happened to pass by and struck up a conversation with you."
"But I've never heard of you before..."
Qinglan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, as if she felt that Qiu Nian had actually forgotten her.
That was something that happened not long ago.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian frowned slightly as she looked at Qing Lan, who appeared somewhat dejected.
interesting...
No wonder Qinglan said to him, "We meet again."
He did indeed wander around Wangshu Inn a few days ago...
But I never actually met this little girl.
If Qinglan's dream about him was normal, then this is even stranger.
Because Qinglan had never even heard of him or seen him before.
I've never heard of him or seen him, so how could I possibly dream about him?
And when she saw him just now, the little girl still had no expression.
In other words, in her mind, she really did see him and speak with him.
The person she knew was no different from the person Qinglan saw now.
