Gu Qimiao arrived just in time, with people trickling into the banquet hall. She wasn't sure if Shen Yanchen had arrived yet.
She sent a text to He Ye and learned they were already inside. After adjusting her posture, she walked in.
Seeing everyone with invitations, she felt awkward with empty hands, considering blending in with someone else, but they all came in small groups and she felt embarrassed to join them.
She steeled herself and walked forward; a hand extended in front of her. Gu Qimiao immediately stopped and awkwardly raised her head, saying, "Um... My husband just went inside..."
The person frowned, thinking she was some random person trying to sneak in. But upon looking up, he immediately smiled obsequiously, "Ah, Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen just went in. Why didn't you come in with him?"
Gu Qimiao breathed a sigh of relief and lied, "I had some things to take care of."
"Please come in," he said, and called someone to escort her inside.
