The gathering ended at half-past nine because Wen Xinya had to revise for her final year examinations.
Ling Qinguan and Xu Tongxuan left together, after which Ling Qingxuan looked at Zhong Rufeng. "Xinya, it's already so late, why don't we leave together?"
Zhou Tianyu hurriedly pulled Gu Junling away and said, "Let Senior Zhong send her! It's out of the way for us, anyway."
Just as Gu Junling was about to say something, Zhou Tianyu pulled him away again and walked towards the door. "Senior Zhong, Gu Junling and I shall make our move now. Please send Xinya home."
Zhong Rufeng gladly agreed.
Gu Junling stood outside the dining room and groused with a frown. "What are you doing? Couldn't you tell that Zhong Rufeng harbors designs on Xinya? How could you let him send Xinya home?"
