"You!"
Li Ruo turned red with range. She pointed a trembling finger at Yao Tang, at a loss for words.
"Okay, that's enough." Yang Nian looked serious when he turned to her. "Don't say anything more, Li Ruo."
Li Ruo had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and settle for glaring at Yao Tang.
Seeing that she was listening to him, Yang Nian turned his attention back to Yao Tang. His expression softened considerably, and he spoke to her in a gentle voice.
"Forgive my stubbornness, Student Yao, but since you're here, why don't you come to my party and have a good time? We have plenty of good food. And desserts, too. What do you think?"
"That's right!" Someone else chimed in from the sidelines. "You're here anyway, so come and have some fun with us!"
"Right, right. Young Master Yang was kind enough to invite you. This opportunity doesn't come by very often, so you should just grab it. Join us!"
"Come, come!"
