Gu Xiaoxi was the master, and she was just a servant, how could her words possibly be heeded.
Wasn't this making things difficult for her?

Qiao Wan climbed the stairs with mixed emotions.
Standing at the bedroom door, she gently scratched at it.
There was no sound from inside!
She knocked again, still no response...
After a moment, she summoned the courage to push the door open.
Gu Xiaoxi was sitting on the balcony's swing chair scrolling through her phone, her face even more unsightly than before.

Bai Yaxuan had actually announced that he would take her to the evening's banquet, and he had invited all the important ministers of the cabinet as well as their families.
