Liling stopped her; she figured things might be awkward if they met at the gala with eyes staring at them and obviously, those two bitches that would be on the lookout.

'I'll meet him after the gala; I don't want to cause a ruckus. ''

 ''Okay, you have a point, now since you have no date today, I'll be your date. Those overzealous reporters will crush you under their feet if they see that you came alone.''

Liling smiled, she was thankful for Xin Yong, what could she have done without her?

Opening her arms, she pulled her for a warm hug;

''I love you! What could I have done without you?''

Xin Yong laughed; ''Oh well, you could have died with bottles of alcohol all around you. ''

Liling released her and slapped her arm; she waited for Xin Yong to change into something nice, after which she helped her pack her hair.
