As the two arrived at the grand gathering, it was on the verge of commencing.

Night had descended, yet the street hosting the event was aglow with lights, resembling daylight. Most stalls were open, offering various snacks, accessories, crafts, and game booths, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ye Leng’an held Huangfu Ruiling’s hand, strolling through the gathering and conversing, “Ling, this place is truly vibrant! It’s rare to find such down-to-earth spots in the capital!”

Though the capital boasted lively streets, being the nation’s capital meant incomparable grandeur. Ye Leng’an’s excitement made Huangfu Ruiling feel this trip was indeed worthwhile.

Unaware of Huangfu Ruiling’s thoughts, Ye Leng’an’s attention was captivated by the gathering’s festivities, neglecting Huangfu Ruiling’s presence.

Here, a young couple enjoyed a romantic stroll, contrasting Murong Yumeng’s less-than-ideal mood.

At this moment, Murong Yumeng had returned to her room.

It was still a luxurious suite, but compared to the most luxurious one, it paled in comparison.

However, while this luxurious suite wasn’t the best, its price tag was still steep. It would be unaffordable for the average person. However, all those who came this time were young ladies and masters from the top aristocratic families of the capital, so naturally, each of them had reserved a room.

After surveying the decorations in the room, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Murong Yumeng’s eyes. When she came this time, she had already planned to stay in the most luxurious suite. However, she hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to beat her to it.

Murong Yumeng removed her mask, revealing her true self.

At that moment, thoughts of Ye Leng’an’s arrogance stirred bitterness on her face. She had heard of Ye Leng’an before. Merely based on a bare-faced photo, Ye Leng’an dared to compare herself to her.

However, at that time, she didn’t pay much attention to Ye Leng’an. She had already investigated and found her to be nothing more than an impostor of a wealthy family. Of course, she had looked into Ye Leng’an because anyone who dared to compare themselves to her deserved scrutiny.

Unaware of the circumstances, she harbored disdain towards Ye Leng’an. Yet, she never imagined their paths would cross in this manner.

Perplexed by Ye Leng’an’s courage, Murong Yumeng speculated if she relied on the mysterious man by her side.

Thoughts of the man caused her eyes to narrow, pondering his identity and their relationship. His remarkable presence and their intimacy piqued her curiosity.

As Murong Yumeng mused, a knock interrupted her thoughts. Opening the door, she found Zi Zhijie outside.

“Zhijie, what’s the matter?” Murong Yumeng smiled. “Are we ready? I seem to be the last one.”

“Not yet,” Zi Zhijie replied. “We just finished. Everyone’s downstairs. Let’s go! The gathering must have started.”

“Alright.”

They walked side by side, and Murong Yumeng brought up another topic. “By the way, Zhijie, did you see that man earlier?”

Zi Zhijie’s expression darkened at the mention of another man. Lightening the mood, he joked, “Is it appropriate to mention another man in front of me?”

Though not directly named, he understood whom Murong Yumeng referred to. The man had unsettled him.

If it were any other man, perhaps he wouldn’t be so concerned. But merely standing there, that man was enough to make every man feel inferior. Such a man sparked a sense of crisis within him.

Murong Yumeng clarified, “I’m just curious. He seems like someone from a prominent family, but I don’t recognize him. Moreover, considering today’s events, do you think we might have offended someone?”

Observing Murong Yumeng’s earnestness, Zi Zhijie regretted his earlier thoughts. He reassured her, “Don’t overthink. He doesn’t seem petty. We might have already been forgotten.”

Murong Yumeng nodded with a smile. “You’re right. It seems I’ve indeed been overthinking. But I believe we should still be cautious when we’re out like this. We wouldn’t want to make enemies for our family or disgrace them.”

Zi Zhijie turned his head and looked at Murong Yumeng, his gaze softening even further. “Yumeng, you really don’t seem like those arrogant young ladies from prominent families. Your demeanor is genuinely gentle. Sometimes, I worry that you might be taken advantage of when you’re out like this!”
