The night was about to fall.
Vini looked at her friend walking up behind her in surprise.
"Weren't you planning not to attend the celebration banquet? Why the change of heart?"
Gu Qiantong smiled, and if you looked closely, you could see her smile was a bit stiff.
"I just suddenly felt it would be boring to stay in the manor, so why not go out for a bit? Plus, it's been all afternoon, and I've adjusted now."
"It's good you figured it out yourself," Vini said with relief, standing up eagerly and heading towards the open wardrobe, "I have a sister-style dress that matches mine, would you like to wear the other one?"
"Sure." Gu Qiantong watched Vini retrieving the dress for her, silently saying sorry in her heart.
She didn't want to use her friend either.
But, one must look out for oneself, or the heavens and earth will turn against them!

Jiang Lingxi took a nap in the afternoon, dreamless, sleeping as peacefully as usual.
