Young and talented, yet tragically short-lived. Even so, it was enough to make others green with envy.

Gu Yuyan had already anticipated this outcome and was unconcerned. She raised an eyebrow ever so slightly, her face adorned with a blissful smile, giving others the false impression that she might be rekindling her romance with Ye Nanshen.

Others in the room wanted to approach and make small talk, but Ye Nanshen’s icy demeanor kept them at bay, stifling their courage. The few individuals from Qiyan Studio did manage to share a couple of drinks with Ye Nanshen before being pulled away by Gu Ziye for other social commitments.

Ye Nanshen idly toyed with the glass in his hand.

“Master Shen, Madam will be arriving soon,” Zhuang Ling murmured as he approached and leaned in to speak softly.

Only upon hearing news of Rong Qi did Ye Nanshen find some relief from his restless mind. He nodded and uttered a low “Hmm,” doing his best to contain his inner turmoil.

Gu Yuyan, who was close by, heard every word between them. She clenched her teeth in secret, her eyes aflame with jealousy.

Outside the banquet hall, Rong Qi had barely reached the entrance when someone grabbed her arm. Turning around, Rong Qi found herself surprised, “Lu Qi?”

“Shh.” Lu Qi placed her index finger to her lips and pulled Rong Qi aside. She said, “Seven, listen. I saw something, heard something unsettling. Prepare yourself mentally.”

“What is it?” Rong Qi asked.

“I saw your financial backer sitting with Miss Gu. She looked completely smitten, and couldn’t even hide it. I heard from Mr. Lu that they were once engaged?” Lu Qi shared everything she knew in a whisper. “That man can’t be trusted. Why would he bring you here if he has an ex-fiancee? Isn’t he just setting you up for humiliation?”

Rong Qi laughed softly, “Don’t worry, Duo. If they intend to humiliate me, they’re merely inviting their own shame. Let’s go; the banquet is about to start. You should go find your Mr. Lu.”

With that, Rong Qi led her friend into the hall. The doors to the grand hall closed gently behind her, as two attendants pushed them open.

The stark contrast between the dark night outside and the dazzling lights inside was almost blinding.

Rong Qi frowned slightly and took elegant steps forward in her silver high heels. The high-end customized shoes clicked crisply with each step on the marble floor. Each sound seemed to echo in people’s hearts.

As Rong Qi finally made her full entrance into the grand hall, everyone got a good look at her face and collectively gasped.

Beautiful, stunningly beautiful. Words fell short of describing Rong Qi’s magnificence and radiance.

Holding her chin high, Rong Qi locked eyes with Ye Nanshen, who was sitting at the center of the hall in his wheelchair. Her lips curled into a smile as she made her way toward him.

Clad in a black chiffon gown shimmering like the night, Rong Qi looked ethereal. Her striking features captured everyone’s attention, making it impossible to look away.

Rong Qi’s slightly smiling face seemed frosted over by the night air, yet it possessed a captivating warmth.

The previously quiet hall buzzed with whispers.

“Who is that girl? Why haven’t we seen her before?”

“Could she be a relative of the Gu family? She’s so beautiful. Is she a wealthy heiress who’s recently returned to the country?”

“The only heiress who has recently returned is Miss Gu. Haven’t heard of anyone else.”

“Wait, look at her gown. It appears to be Qiyan Studio’s latest design—a haute couture piece! I saw Qiyan Studio’s owner post the design sketch online not long ago.. I can’t believe it’s already been produced and is worn by her! Who exactly is she?”
