章節 1479: Ceremony Like No Other

The news of Mu Feichi's attendance at the socialite ball soon travelled to Qi Siyu's ears from the organizers.

It was a coincidence that when Qiao Ximin had approached her to share her misery about the competition, the two had caught wind of the news in the middle of their venting. The news of the Young Commander's attendance had given Qiao Ximin a sudden boost of hope.

"Did you know...?" she asked rhetorically, "...the first dance the Young Commander will have is with the number one first-class socialite?" She explained this to Qiao Ximin with a crooked smile. "What are you so excited about?"
