Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Garden Tour(1)_1

At this moment, Cai Wei noticed Huo Yuan too. Seeing him making a toast to her from across the railings, she couldn’t help but curve her lips in a gentle smile and slightly nodded her head in acknowledgement.

However, that beguiling return of glance with a smile enthralled those young masters sneaking glances at her, as if a spell of immobility was cast on them. The smile on the maiden’s face shone as brightly as flowers in full bloom.

Even the ever-gentle and composed Huo Yuan was bewildered.

He always thought she was beautiful enough that any deliberate embellishment would spoil her innate beauty. To him, she was most suited to refined attire, showcasing her elegance with an air of purity, similar to the charm of orchids and bamboos.

However, her full decor today was so stunningly beautiful and beyond description. She was brimming with a certain natural allure that left an indelible impression. This dress was in no way inferior to her normal subtly made upself!

Perhaps, this is what they mean by ’heavy or light makeup, she is always charming.’

"Hey, hey! Young Master Huo, do you know that girl?"

Sharp-eyed individuals amidst the gathering noticed the beauty was laughing at Huo Yuan and curiously started questioning.

Huo Yuan responded plainly, "Yes, I do."

"Oh? Which noble house does that young girl belong to?"

"Is she engaged?"

Huo Yuan’s affirmation attracted everyone’s interest, and they swarmed in, bombarding him with questions.

Huo Yuan glanced at the enthusiastic faces of the young masters, gave a slight laugh, and finally responded.

"Gentlemen, there’s no need to inquire further. That girl is already engaged!"

"What? She’s taken so soon? Who is it? Which family has betrothed her?"

Hearing that the beauty is engaged, everyone felt disappointed. Some still questing eagerly, seemingly prepared to steal her away if her betrothed had an inferior background.

However, Young Master Huo refrained from talking further and noted: "Everyone will know in a bit."

He then resumed his tea in a leisurely manner, feeling extremely content...

On the other side of the Waterside Pavilion –

Dressed in all their finery, the noble ladies who were invited to the Empress’ Shangsi Festival, were looking forward to stunning everyone only to be overshadowed by an astoundingly beautiful woman.

Someone once said, the best way to upset a group of beautiful women is to introduce a woman who is even more beautiful than them.

Undoubtedly, Cai Wei’s appearance spoilt the mood for all the women present. Even those confident ladies felt discouraged and the once lively atmosphere cooled for a moment.

Though the ladies felt discontent, they were all well-cultured and smart like little monkeys. Noticing Cai Wei’s expensive attire, the wealth expressed by her ornate headpiece alone worth thousands of gold, they dared not offend her without understanding her real status.

Some smarter ones, seeing Cai Wei’s extraordinary beauty, speculated that she would have a promising future and so took the opportunity to befriend her in advance.

"Miss, the craftsmanship of the pair of white jade bracelets you’re wearing is very exquisite. I presume it’s the work of the Artisan Building?"

One of the ladies at the table with a round face leaned over and started a friendly conversation with Cai Wei.

Cai Wei glanced at the kind-hearted lady and then at her Mutton Fat White Jade Bracelet, chuckled, and said, "Your eyes are really good, Miss. This is indeed from the Artisan Building."
