Forming An Alliance

Lin Xiaofei stepped out of that corner of the garden, she didn't rush to go back where Lin Shen Yu was. She glanced back to the unkept space where they discussed their matters and saw that the man was no longer standing there.

In no time, a worried Lin Shen Yu came into her line of sight. He runs over to her and complained, "Why did cousin leave me alone there? Do you even know how I was so embarrassed when some womenfolk passed by and saw me talking by myself?!"

Lin Xiaofei cast him a side-glance, "I was interested in this part of the garden and out of curiosity I wandered around," not waiting for him to complain some more, she said, "We should go back to the hall to avoid having grandfather worry."

Lin Shen Yu found her excuse strange since there was nothing in that part of the garden that seemed to catch anyone's eyes. Shaking his thoughts off his mind, he decided to go along with his cousin and went back to the banquet.
