Xia Yangyang couldn't resist shouting at Gu Qichen: "Why did you bring me here?"
Xia Yangyang turned to leave.
She didn't want to stay here a single minute longer.
But Gu Qichen grabbed her by the arm.
Gu Qichen spoke with a cool, calm voice: "If you leave now, you'll miss a good show."
Xia Yangyang had no idea what Gu Qichen was planning, but she felt that he had been prepared all along.
Gu Qichen continued: "Xia Yangyang, since you've done nothing wrong, don't be timid, don't let others think you're easy to bully."
In the end, Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen in.
She even thought herself mad for doing so.
The banquet had just begun.
Lu Haotian and Gong Xue'er were standing at the door, greeting guests.
Gong Xue'er had changed into a designer white fishtail gown, her slim and tall figure even more pronounced. Her hair was piled high on her head, looking every bit the Ice Queen of a fairy tale.
