Bai Lu was initially surprised, but her eyes quickly welled up with tears. However, she quickly composed herself, her face emotionless as she nodded at Shen Cong.
On the other hand, Shen Cong was caught off guard and didn't know how to react.
This was the first time they had come face-to-face since their midnight parting.
He had assumed that under the current circumstances, Bai Lu would be the awkward one. Little did he know that he was having a harder time.
Madam Bai, following Bai Lu's gaze, also noticed Shen Cong and was slightly taken aback.
This young man used to frequent Bai Xiang's residence, always visiting Shen Ling. However, since the fallout with the Shen Family, he had not visited since.
Madam Bai was aware of his accomplishments. Much had changed, and not only was he now a viscount, he also held an important position and was favored by Your Majesty. He could be considered one of the rising stars of Ye City.
