Two days ago.
After Shui's birthday banquet, there grew faint rumors of Chyou and Yating's relationship as many socialites had witnessed them standing together and being in a cozy company at the party. Then word got around about a possible marriage proposal between the Gu and Zhu families as some had heard that Gu Rong had suggested Xiaosi for their children's future marriage prospects.
Some guests who had a keen eye and who had watched the trending news of Yating and Chyou coming out of a shop and saw him giving her a gift had also observed Chyou wearing the pendant that belonged to the same shop.
All in all, it wasn't hard to connect the dots and figure out - or at least gossip about their relationship. Some truly believed that Yating and Chyou were indeed interested in each other. They guessed that everybody might soon hear an announcement of their engagement.
