Every thought in her mind vanished at the mention of Xia Rouyue's name. There was an unpleasant ripple in her heart whenever she heard that name coming from his lips, but she suppressed it.
"Because she had just come back to the country?"
"Yeah. Her family hosted a big party for that. She invited me to attend too."
"Oh, I see."
Dai Zhiqiang noticed her downhearted response and added, "Do you want to come along with me?"
"What?"
He chuckled, seeing her surprised expression. "Why do you think I'm telling you this? I want you to come with me as my partner."
She felt joy and relief in her heart hearing those words. Asking Li Caiyi to come to Xia Rouyue's party as his partner was akin to a declaration that he had no feelings toward the latter. Was he trying to reassure her this way?
