He did not really understand the specifics, as at that time he was contemplating how to successfully ask Wei Yurou out. Where could he find the mind to listen to all what Yuanya had said?
"Ah Jie, what's wrong?"
Wei Yurou noticed Lu Jie looking in that direction and, following his gaze, sweetly asked him.
"Nothing. Let's go in," Lu Jie responded, retracting his gaze and giving her a smile.
This was the Imperial Court! How could Yuanya--a simple, poor student--possibly afford to be here?
Upon thinking about this, he let himself relax. He must have misheard!
However, Wei Yurou, unnoticed by Lu Jie, pursed her lips into a cryptic smile.
While Lu Jie didn't see, she had been keeping a close eye on Yuanya's movements.
If she hadn't arranged for Yuanya to be here in advance, why would she have invited Lu Jie to the Imperial Court?
Looking at the empty corridor before her, Wei Yurou couldn't help feeling a bit regretful.
She didn't expect Yuanya to run away. According to her plan, she was expecting Yuanya to make a scene of abuse with her and Lu Jie, so that the Imperial Court's security could directly throw Yuanya out!
Thinking of that scenario, she couldn't help but feel it would be exhilarating. Such a pity...
Each time Wei Yurou looked at Lu Jie, her smile has become impossibly sweet. The man she set her sights on, of course, she would snatch him. Compared to her, what can Yuanya offer?
Thinking of this, Wei Yurou's smile deepened a notch.
Meeting Wei Yurou's smiling face, Lu Jie's tone became increasingly gentle.
The fate of the Lu Family's entry into the upper ranks of East Dragon rests on today!
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaobai, after being pulled away by Yuanya for a while, finally came to her senses.
"Ya Ya! You're not cheating, you're not in the wrong, why are you running?" Zhao Xiaobai quickly grabbed her.
Yuanya knew she shouldn't run, but when faced with that scene, she really didn't have the courage to confront Lu Jie.
Thinking this way, she felt wronged and her eyes reddened.
Seeing Yuanya on the brink of tears, Zhao Xiaobai became both angry and anxious!
"Ya Ya, you're just too soft-hearted! You shouldn't pull me away, see if I don't make that pair search the ground for their teeth!"
"Xiaobai!" Yuanya clung on to her tightly, her fear palpable–worried that Xiaobai might actually confront Lu Jie.
"..." Seeing Yuanya like this, even Xiaobai felt helpless.
But at this moment, the sound of high heels approached.
The saccharine voice of a woman became increasingly clear, "Ah Jie, would you accompany me shopping tomorrow? Cartier has released several new pieces of jewelry and I haven't bought any yet~"
Not wanting to see them again, Yuanya instinctively pushed Zhao Xiaobai through the tightly shut door of a private room.
"Ya...huh..." Zhao Xiaobai's words were cut off midway as they were both stunned by the sight ahead.
In contrast to the deserted hallway outside, the large private room was bustling with people, a sight to behold.
The music, the flirtatious laughter of men and women, the ambiguous lighting, the neon glamour, and wafting fragrances.
The air was filled with a scented mist that made everything seem surreal, a world apart from outside.
Staring in astonishment, Yuanya couldn't believe the effective sound-proofing; when she had entered, there wasn't a single sound from the outside.
In this extravagant scene, she felt an unusual, dangerous vibe.
Like guided by some supernatural force, she glanced in that direction.
In the middle of all these well-dressed men and women was a man.
He was relaxed, nursing a drink, with his eyes downcast, seemingly unaware of the uninvited guests in the room.
Unlike his relaxed demeanor were the vibes emanating from him.
