Ning Yuchen's expression shifted slightly when he saw Gu Wenheng and He Nan coming out together, but it instantly returned to normal.
"Mr. Gu, I saw that your carriage is already waiting ahead."
Gu Wenheng said, "Lord Ning, you had better find another official to catch a ride with! My carriage cannot go out today."
"What? Didn't we agree on this earlier?" Ning Yuchen asked, looking surprised.
Seeing his feigned earnestness, Gu Wenheng's face darkened. "Lord Ning, you should watch your words. I do not recall ever making such an agreement with you.
"Before, when you came to my quarters, I explicitly told you that I had another appointment today."
"You're actually not going to the invitation?"
He Nan interjected, "Mr. Gu's carriage isn't going because Madam needs to use it. He is hitching a ride in my carriage today."
