When Gu Qichen stepped back into the banquet hall, he was holding Xia Yangyang's hand.
The feeling was completely different from when they first arrived.
It felt like knowing there were thousands of trenches, countless dangers ahead, but this man was by her side.
The whole journey seemed to have turned into a landscape.
However, they still couldn't escape the peculiar gazes of others.
Xia Yangyang knew she messed up today.
But she had to face any outcome that followed.
The banquet seemed to be coming to an end.
Gu Qichen led Xia Yangyang directly to the Count and Countess of the Alexanders.
Gu Qichen spoke to them in French.
Xia Yangyang didn't understand it.
But he looked sincere, as if he was explaining something and also apologizing.

Xi Zijun was standing next to the countess.
