Just as Cheng Qingchong thought everything was set in stone, during a charity dinner where she accompanied Su Zhinian to, she ran into a friend whom she had enquired about Qin Yinan from earlier. When they were catching up, the friend suddenly remembered and informed her, "Hey, remember you asking about updates on Qin Yinan? He's getting married to Song Empire's young lady soon. If I'm not mistaken, the wedding date is March 14th, White Valentine."
Cheng Qingchong heard the news and was stunned beyond words. She eventually came to. She smiled thinly at her friend and excused herself. Cheng Qingchong was used to social gatherings like a dinner party, but she found herself a corner and hid herself from any social interaction that night.
The chandelier lit up the dinner hall, and like usual, she managed to pick out Su Zhinian's shadow among the many guest with just one look. The man looked calm and serene on the surface; it seemed like he had all the time in the world.
