Now that she had affirmed her feelings and been influenced by Jiang Ce and Shen Xuanran, Wang Xinyao was no longer as timid as she once was. But just when she finally mustered the courage to defy her destiny, she realized her greatest weakness was still firmly in someone else's grip.
As Old Madam Wang had said, she could ignore everything, but what about her parents?
At this moment, the blood that had just begun to boil in Wang Xinyao's veins instantly turned to ice.
Standing beside her, Shen Xuanran and Huangfu Ning noticed the change in her expression. Huangfu Ning's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, while Shen Xuanran asked with direct concern, "What's wrong, Yaoyao? Did something happen?"
Hearing Shen Xuanran's question, Wang Xinyao reflexively glanced at Huangfu Ning, who immediately spoke up. "Is my being here inconvenient?"
"If so, I'll take my leave. Should anything come up with Jiang Ce, you can send someone to notify me on Star Origin Road."
