It was only after Gu Qichen led her by the hand into the ballroom that Xia Yangyang reacted.
Xia Yangyang was already aware that countless eyes were falling on her.
The gazes of these noble ladies were like tiny daggers.
Xia Yangyang wanted to awkwardly pull her hand out of Gu Qichen's, but he turned and asked: "What's wrong?"
Xia Yangyang replied: "I don't want to be the center of attention, you can let go of me."
Gu Qichen slightly furrowed his brows, but still released Xia Yangyang's hand.
Xia Yangyang said: "I'm leaving first, carry on with your business."
Xia Yangyang felt very conflicted here. On one hand, she didn't want to be the focus, but on the other hand, she didn't want to see Gu Qichen flirting with other girls.
So, she chose to adopt the 'out of sight, out of mind' approach.
Gu Qichen asked: "Where are you going?"
Xia Yangyang replied: "It's getting late, I'm going back to school. I have classes tomorrow."
