Gu Ning was not deliberately hiding the truth. It was just that since they had not met recently, she did not have the chance to tell Master Leng about it. Now that the auction was taking place, it was inappropriate to talk about it and she did not know whether Cai Wenhong told Master Leng about it.
She decided to tell them about this later.
"Then are you staying for the rest of the auction in the afternoon?" asked Gu Ning. She was only planning to attend the auction in the morning.
"Probably not. I am only here to see the bronze chimes," replied Master Leng.
"Let's do lunch then!" said Gu Ning. Now that all of them were present, it would be rude to not buy them lunch.
Gu Ning was not simply suggesting to eat together out of courtesy. She genuinely treated them like they were family. Now that they finally had the chance to meet, she wanted to eat with them.
