Tian Xiaobei shook his head again, "Perhaps, it was just an illusion."
"Do you know any lady who resembles the one we just saw? Would you like me to inquire at the General Residence for you?" Pang Yanyan asked somewhat resentfully, yet thinking to herself, didn't Tian Xiaobei say he had no sweetheart?
It was because he said he had no sweetheart that she had asked him out to the theatre. Tian Xiaobei, currently nothing but a student at the Imperial Medical Institute, would one day become an imperial doctor, someone truly her match.
Although she liked to socialize and gather with the gentlemen of the Capital City, deep down she preferred ambitious men.
Tian Xiaobei shook his head, "No need, that person... couldn't possibly be here."
If his family had connections in the Capital City, they would have mentioned it when his parents were objecting.
"So who is this person you know?" Pang Yanyan pressed on.
"Just a childhood playmate," Tian Xiaobei replied, somewhat distractedly.
