As the sky gradually darkened,
the Chen Mansion was brightly lit.
It was not long after the New Year, and the mansion was still filled with the festive atmosphere.
Everyone was well-fed and content.
On stage, the opera troupe was performing, and the audience was listening with rapt attention.
Xu Qin Yi and Ren Qingfeng were among those present, and Xu Yuxiang was there too, personally invited by Xu Qin Yi.
She sat beside Lin Zheyu, her eyes on the stage, but her thoughts were entirely on the person next to her.
"From this angle, Mr. Lin is indeed quite handsome!"
Xu Yuxiang blushed slightly, sneaking glances at Lin Zheyu from the corner of her eye.
She suddenly felt a bit regretful—if only she had been more gentle and virtuous back then, Mr. Lin wouldn't be ignoring her now.
Lin Zheyu caught the subtle fragrance from the woman beside him, but he felt nothing in his heart.
