He really couldn't understand why two giants, who basically had no connection, would engage in a marriage alliance.
Of course, his way of gathering intelligence relied entirely on his astonishing sense of hearing.
One could say that, in this noisy banquet hall, as long as he was willing, every conversation would fall clearly into his ears.
"What else could it be? This Hongmen wants to achieve control by marrying into the Mo Family, and the Mo Family needs a powerful ally like Hongmen to enhance their global prestige."
"In the end, it's just two words—interests! As long as both parties have common interests, they'll come together. As for others, they're just here to ride on the coattails."
Zheng Peng sneered.
This guy despised the arranged marriages among these wealthy and noble families the most.
It was all just about interests entanglement.
Back in the day, even his father tried to find him a so-called well-matched woman, but he ended up running off to make desserts.
Luckily, his results weren't too bad, which finally shut up those who wanted to see him embarrassed.
"Oh? So, if I were to stop their marriage today, wouldn't I be offending two giants at once?"
"Tsk, tsk! Not worth it, really not worth it. But, after all, it's Frost Heaven's matter, got to see what chips he brings to the table."
Yang Yan said with a smile.
Even though he said he was afraid of offending two major forces, seeing Zheng Peng's eager expression, he knew this guy was definitely up to something.
Thinking of Yang Yan's tricks, he wasn't the least worried but instead silently pitied the two hosts of today.
"Are you afraid? Wasn't the storm you whipped up in Imperial Capital back in the day enough? I know some people heard you were back in Imperial Capital and have already planned to keep a low profile."
"Some unruly heirs have even been ordered out these past few days. They're afraid that if they somehow get entangled with you, it won't just be one person suffering; the entire family could face ruin."
Zheng Peng said disdainfully.
"Oh, really? Which ones are you talking about? How come I don't know? But to manage such a thing, it looks like they've got some wit. No wonder they've lasted so long."
Yang Yan turned his head and seriously asked Zheng Peng.
"Enough, I can't continue talking with someone like you. You could derail any topic with a single sentence. I'm off to the dance floor to find some girls. I've seen quite a few pretty girls today! You can watch me take them by storm."
Zheng Peng grinned mischievously and walked towards the dance floor.
"What's up? What do you plan to do tonight? Since you left last time, I've been lying low for quite a while!"
Alongside, the Prince came over holding a glass of wine.
Also coming over was Ziqi.
One looked like the boy next door, extremely sunny, while the other was unbearably handsome.
As they walked over, they caught the attention of many women.
Some bold ones were even winking at them persistently.
You should know that those who could come in today weren't ordinary people.
For these "well-bred" girls to flirt with the opposite sex in front of their parents was no small feat.
This showed the charm of these two.
Seeing the two flaunting themselves, Yang Yan rolled his eyes, somewhat helplessly.
"Can you two keep a low profile? Look around; this is clearly a group of noble ladies and heiresses, and thanks to you two, they've been turned into a pack of lusty she-wolves."
"That's their business, what's it got to do with me?"
Ziqi said coolly.
Yang Yan knew that this guy was always like this, and for a moment couldn't find a way to counter.
Probably because he'd been handsome since childhood, he'd come across many women early on, making him long immune to the opposite sex.
So now, this guy was dismissive of women.
Of course, friends were an exception.
Especially the Phoenix Lady, Qi Wutong — an exception among exceptions.
"You're no less charming! Others might not know, but we know how much trouble your looks can cause."
"Even Ziqi might not be as much trouble as you. What, don't you plan to dress up and show this pack of she-wolves what it means to be as handsome as Pan An?"
The Prince teased Yang Yan.
Although Yang Yan still looked very handsome now, they both knew that was because Yang Yan didn't care about these things and even for some reason, deliberately suppressed his aura.
If not, if he tidied up and got serious, he'd definitely leave no one's heart unscathed.
"Stop it; last time you guys got me to dress up, I didn't dare to again. Being thrown into that bunch of women alone, God knows how I got out alive."
Yang Yan chuckled wryly, speaking with a bit of lingering fear.
"Uhh..."
Hearing Yang Yan say this, the Prince was left speechless.
The last time they parted, they threw a farewell party for Yang Yan, inviting many handsome men and beautiful women.
Originally, Yang Yan planned to just make a brief appearance, but Phoenix Lady and Zhuge Wushuang dragged him to dress up, and after coming out, he almost got torn apart by those women who drank too much.
"Why are just you and this girl here? Where's your wife?"
The Prince asked Yang Yan.
"At first, she said she'd go get some vegetarian food or something, but now I don't know where she is."
After speaking, Yang Yan turned to Dawn and asked:
"Did you see where your Aunt Hanyun went?"
"Yeah! Aunt Wutong took her away!"
Dawn nodded immediately.
Just as Yang Yan was wondering where Wutong had taken Zhou Hanyun, suddenly there was a commotion from the dance floor.
Upon hearing the exclamations from the dance floor, as well as the ensuing sighs, Yang Yan directly led Dawn by the hand towards the dance floor.
When they arrived at the dance floor, they were greeted by the sight of two breathtaking women dancing in the middle.
One in red, enchanting; the other in white, like snow.
Everyone was watching the exquisite dance of the two women; the women were envious, while many men were already drooling.
Some even started inquiring about the identities of the dancing women.
From their expressions, it was clear what they were scheming.
Yang Yan and his three companions, however, looked at the two women with helpless expressions.
"Wow! Aunt Hanyun and Aunt Wutong dance so well! I'm so jealous, I want to be like them in the future."
Dawn exclaimed with wide eyes, marveling beside them.
"Tsk, your sister-in-law is really impressive, being able to dance alongside the Phoenix Lady. You know, Phoenix Lady's dance is legendary in Imperial Capital!"
No one knew when Zheng Peng had already joined Yang Yan and the three, exclaiming repeatedly.
"What are those two up to?"
Yang Yan looked at Zheng Peng confusedly and asked.
