Ross remained at the Bai Clan banquet until midnight.
Throughout the evening, he continued chatting with Bai Ningshuang, occasionally making her laugh despite her initial reservations.
However, no matter how pleasant their conversation became, she never wavered in her decision to remain faithful to her fiancé.

After exchanging a few polite words with Ross, she left the banquet hall, unaware that her departure would lead to a conversation that could change the course of her life.
Once Bai Ningshuang was gone, the atmosphere in the hall gradually changed.
