"Oh, I need to make a trip back to Qingning City in a few days."
Gu Yelin paused with his chopsticks and asked in a low voice, "What for?"
"In a few days there's the graduation exam, I'm going to cheer on a friend," An Yiqing said while eating.
"The Xia Hao you mentioned before?"
An Yiqing nodded, "Mhm, that's him. Haozi's graduation exam is coming up, and I promised him I'd be there to support him."
"By yourself?" Gu Yelin looked a bit concerned. "Shall I accompany you?"
"Mhm, that sounds good."
Having decided on the trip to Qingning City, the two of them didn't say much more. They ate alternately, sweetly finishing the food in no time.
The next day, the gossip about Old Master Bai's grand 80th birthday spread fast. The face-off at the banquet between An Yiqing and Gu Siyi, two top heiresses, was vividly talked about. The Jade Plate of the Jade Spirit she gifted to Old Master Bai was like a bombshell that left everyone astounded.
