Time dragged on. Han Yao had never been so on edge.
He gritted his teeth, wanting to go take a closer look, but he was afraid of the surrounding gossip and could only stay put.
Though he tried his best to appear calm, his tension and anxiety were obvious.
Ye Shixian shot him a sidelong glance, cursing inwardly. 'Useless fool.'
She had pulled all the strings to get them this far, and Han Yao still managed to screw it all up!
According to the original plan, they were supposed to be seen by everyone on this lake tour, admiring the moon together. Within a few days, news that Ye Chutang and Han Yao were smitten with each other would have spread.
Then, her father and his family would arrange their engagement and marriage as a matter of course. Everything would have fallen perfectly into place.
Even if the Eldest Princess intended to arrange a marriage for Ye Chutang, she would find it hard to interfere with a pair of "lovers."
