Shen Li's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Gu Cheng'an. No wonder she felt that he was hostile to her. This man was the second male lead in the original book, Shen Yanyan's most loyal follower, and Qin Yu's half-brother.

It is very likely that Shen Yanyan is with him in Kyoto.

He reacted so strongly when he heard her say his name. It was probably because Shen Yanyan said something to him. Also, when he was in Nanzhou, the men in black who came to kill Qin Yu were sent by him. Even if it wasn't him, it was his mother.

Because Qin Yu’s enemy is Gu Cheng’an’s mother.

It was me who blocked the arrow for Qin Yu at the beginning, which also ruined his plan.

So it's not surprising that he reacted like this to her.

"Ms. Shen, since we happen to meet today, why don't we go together?" Yue Yinghao said.

"Please stop being so dissolute. Some people are not someone you can just flirt with." Jin Duobao warned.

Yue Yinghao seemed a little hurt, and he covered his chest and said, "Xiao Jinjin, don't you love me anymore? We were best friends before, and I gave you the girl I liked. Have you forgotten all this?"

Shen Li looked at his funny expression and was not surprised that he would say such words. After all, Jin Duobao was also a passionate young man in the past, and their personalities could actually get along well.

Seeing that Jin Duobao seemed to be really unhappy, Qi Ziming said, "Yinghao, stop joking. Didn't you see Brother Jin's expression?" They often made jokes like this before, but this time Jin Duobao cared so much about it. It seemed that he really cared about Shen Li.

Yue Yinghao looked at Shen Li and said, "Okay, no more joking, let's go in."

Several people entered the private room.

"Gentlemen, is it still the same as before?" asked the waiter.

"Yes." Yue Yinghao said.

"Wait a minute, add two dishes for me, one stir-fried bamboo shoots and one steamed sea bass." Jin Duobao said, and looked at Shen Li: "What else do you want to eat?"

"No, that's enough."

The people present exchanged glances with each other, and only Gu Chengan's eyes were mocking.

"By the way, it seems like our four great princes of Kyoto haven't gathered together for a long time?" Qi Ziming sighed.

"Yes, it's true. Cheng'an already has a lover, so it's fine that he doesn't have time to accompany her every day. But now even the man named Jin has a girl he loves. It's really unpredictable." Yue Yinghao said.

"Yes, I originally thought that you would be the last to change your mind, but it turned out that one or two of you did." Qi Ziming said, looking at Shen Li: "Ms. Shen, which family are you from?" There seemed to be no daughter with the surname Shen in Kyoto who could match the name.

"I'm not from Kyoto, I'm here to do business." These three people are actually the Four Young Masters. Why are they called the Four Young Masters? How did they get the title? Looking at these people, only Qi Ziming looks like a scholar, and he is likely to be good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

As for the others, Jin Duobao goes without saying, and there's Yue Yinghao, who has a dissolute look on his face and doesn't know how to sit properly, looking like a playboy. And Gu Chengan, who sits very straight and has good manners, but looks like a martial artist and not a scholar at all.

"Doing business?" Qi Ziming was surprised, but thinking that Jin Duobao was also a businessman, maybe they met while doing business?

"Well, I'm from Xiezhou Prefecture."

"Will you settle down in Kyoto after this?"

"Yes." Shen Li had just finished speaking when he saw the waiter serving the dishes, and behind him followed a woman holding a guqin.

After the dishes were served, the waiter left, and the woman sat on the other side of the private room and started playing the piano.

"Cheng'an, why didn't you bring the girl you like with you? And you're hiding her." Yue Yinghao said after taking a sip of wine.

"She is too pure and timid and shy. I'm afraid you guys will scare her."

The more Shen Li listened, the more he wanted to curl his lips. It seemed that Shen Yanyan was doing a good job of pretending.

Gu Chengan has been paying attention to Shen Li: "Unlike Brother Jin, he brought her out openly. After all, she is a businessman who is out in the limelight. Naturally, she is much more knowledgeable than an ordinary lady."

The second male lead in this book has indeed been driven crazy by Shen Yanyan, Shen Li complained in his heart.

"What do you mean? Do you look down on businessmen?" Jin Duobao said.

Qi Ziming saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he said, "That's not the case, Brother Jin. The four of us have known each other for such a long time. If Cheng An had this intention, why would he want to get to know you?"

Jin Duobao endured it and said nothing more.

The private room also became quiet.

"What kind of song is this? It's so awful. Fuyuanlou is getting more and more deceiving. They dare to come out and embarrass themselves by playing like this."

Gu Chengan suddenly spoke, and everyone in the private room was surprised.

The woman playing the music paused there, not knowing whether to play or not.

"Brother Cheng'an, you are a bit picky. Isn't it this girl who plays for us every time we come here? She is one of the best musicians in this building. Do you know where you can hear better music?" Yue Yinghao said.

"Humph! Of course, with this piano skill, do you dare to praise it?"

"Where? Tell me quickly."

"You won't have the chance to hear it. She will only play it for me."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you stupid? Cheng'an is talking about his sweetheart." Qi Ziming said.

"Oh..." Yue Yinghao teased.

Gu Chengan looked at Shen Li with disdain: "Why don't you play a song for us, Miss Shen? That will cleanse my ears."

Jin Duobao put his chopsticks heavily on the table: "Gu Chengan, don't go too far. Are you targeting A-Li or me? I advise you to come to me if you have any problems."

If Shen Li followed Gu Cheng'an's wishes and really played the music, then she would be the same as the woman playing the music, just for people's entertainment. Although she did not think that the woman playing the music was like that, in the eyes of these gentlemen, the woman playing the music was just that kind of existence.

In fact, Gu Chengan was humiliating her.

"Sorry, I can't play the piano." Shen Li said frankly.

The people present were all stunned by her frank and calm demeanor, and almost ignored the fact that she didn't know how to play the piano.

Now they finally understood Shen Li's peculiarity. If she were an ordinary woman, she would have been humiliated long ago, and she would be even more ashamed since she didn't even have basic talents.

But Shen Li was open and honest, and it seemed that not being able to play the piano was no big deal.

Just ask the young ladies in Kyoto, no matter if they are high-ranking or low-ranking officials, or businessmen, which daughter of a wealthy family does not have some talents? Guqin is a must-have for them, and they learn it since childhood, and almost everyone can play it.

The only difference is who plays well and who plays poorly.

Even Gu Cheng'an was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shen Li to react like this.
