After the dinner, Ling Tao left early due to a meeting that he had. Not too long later, Ling Yuqing came to Qu Wan's room, just as she was trying out her new bespoke gown, prepared for a big event a few days later.
Seeing Ling Yuqing barge in without even knocking, Qu Wan was ready to give her an earful, but halted it at the look of Ling Yuqing's gloomy face, "What's with you?"
"Mom, I don't want to go work with Ling Tianya…"
Qu Wan frowned, "Why? Didn't we agree on it already?"
Ling Yuqing's face crumpled, as though she had eaten something extremely bitter, "Mom, just think about it. For years, our relationship with Ling Tianya had long crumbled, how can it be that she'd decide to work with me nicely? She changed so suddenly. Why is she willing to let me work by her side? There's definitely something up!"
