You Don't Belong Here

After spending the entire day preparing to meet Madam Shen, Lu Xinyi hadn't eaten much, but she had taken plenty of drinks earlier. It didn't help that she felt being scrutinized by strangers. She could feel that someone's eyes were set on her, watching her every move.

It was probably her imagination, but she could almost feel those eyes watching her from afar. Lu Xinyi listened silently to Shen Xue and Xiao Lan while they waited for their food to be served.

"You are reduced to Xinxin's chaperone?" Xiao Lan teased Shen Xue when she met the two at one of the balconies near the ballroom.

She had started calling Xinyi as Xinxin when she found her friend playing with her two Akita dogs like a little girl. Who wouldn't feel moved at the sight of it? Lu Xinyi had a bright smile, clearly enjoying her day with her pets.
