"Ah, Mr. Gu, I think, I want to leave now, is that okay?"
Shen Xian stopped in her tracks, looking at Gu Chen hurrying over to her, her tone somewhat flustered.
Gu Chen gave her a deep look, just one look, for a very short time, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over her slightly swollen lips as he looked away.
"Alright," he said.
"Thank you."
Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, the Immortal turned around and quickened her pace down the stairs, lifting her dress as she went.
"I'll take you back."
Gu Chen followed her steps, his voice containing a panic he had never experienced before.
Shen Xian did not look back, did not respond to him, nor did she stop walking.
Downstairs, there was singing and dancing, with many celebrities from the entertainment industry attending the banquet, which also gave them the opportunity to showcase their talents—the singers sang, the dancers danced, and one pianist even played the piano.
The lively crowd hardly noticed the two slip away quietly.
