Zixin asked, bringing Guiying out of her stupor, "You didn't come to my get-together party. I thought you would."
Guiying failed to understand his point.
"The evening we met at the hotel?"
"Yes."
"But why would I be at your party? We didn't know each other so well."
"But Zhou Ai knows me. Since my siblings and cousins brought their friends to the party, I thought you would be present too."
Guiying stared at him unblinkingly. "A-Ai…?"
"Yes."
She stiffened, her heart beating faster. She didn't know why Ai was suddenly brought into the picture.
"How would Ai know you?"
For that matter, it now struck her as to why he was at this party tonight. Was he someone who knew Shui?
Zixin blinked once. "Because she is dating my cousin."
That felt as if she was zapped by lightning. Her eyes slowly widened, aghast.
"...Cousin?"
