Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Attending the Banquet_1

The next day, sunlight streamed in through the window, gently swaying the curtains with the breeze.

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her slightly aching temples; everything from last night seemed to become a burden in her heart.

She got up, careful not to disturb Xiaobai's sleep, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Just as she entered the kitchen, her phone rang.

Seeing Pei Jingchuan's name, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

The message read: "Yuzhu, there's a business party tonight which requires your company. Are you free?"

Jiang Yuzhu bit her lower lip gently; she knew how important such occasions were to Pei Jingchuan, as well as how uncomfortable she'd feel there.

"I understand. What time does it start?" she replied.

Pei Jingchuan's response came quickly: "7 pm, I'll have the driver pick you up."

She nodded slightly; even though Pei Jingchuan couldn't see her, she knew this was her choice," Alright, see you tonight."
