"Do you not like this kind of environment?"
He Nanqing looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, her fingers gently gliding over Xiao Ji's back as Feng Yuan said,
"Pretty much. I prefer to enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea with my friends, rather than partake in these insincere social interactions."
"Sorry, I forgot about that. Come with me."
He Nanqing said apologetically. She had indeed been too busy and completely forgot that Feng Yuan didn't seem to like these kinds of occasions, and besides, these banquets were meaningless to him anyway.
Feng Yuan looked quizzically at Qi Chen, who wanted to follow, and said,
"Together?"
"Staying here, I wouldn't know what to do anyway."
Qi Chen said with a wry smile. He didn't have the status to attend such a banquet — it was only because Feng Yuan had brought him along. Dou Yanlan took Qi Chen's hand and said softly,
"Let's go. This banquet isn't for us."
