Lu Ting was stunned, even she could not grasp the situation immediately.
Wasn't he here specifically to attend her coming-of-age ceremony?
Why did he notice Qiao Yun first instead of looking for her?
Lu Xue reacted more quickly, grabbing Lu Ting and dragging her in front of Pei Yao, thinking they absolutely couldn't let Qiao Yun get there first.
Before Lu Ting could react, she found herself standing between Pei Yao and Qiao Yun.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Before Lu Ting could speak, Pei Yao raised the corner of his lips and asked her coldly, "Who are you?"
"..."
Lu Ting's throat tightened, leaving her speechless and feeling terribly awkward.
The friends around them were stunned; this development was different from what they had imagined, wasn't it?
Hadn't Lu Ting said she had met Pei Yao once before?
Lu Xue quickly spoke up, "President Pei, this is Lu Ting. Today is her coming-of-age ceremony, didn't you…?"
