Shen Bijun was about to speak when a male voice carried over.
She turned her head and saw Doctor Xu, dressed in formal attire, striding towards them.
Shen Bijun's steps faltered slightly, and she stopped in the midst of the crowd, sizing them up from a not too distant nor too close range.
Mrs. Rong was startled upon seeing Doctor Xu, "Doctor Xu?"
Doctor Xu nodded and then placed his hand on Rong Rong's shoulder, "Auntie, Rong Rong is my date for today, accompanying me here. Is there a problem?"
Mrs. Rong responded immediately, "No problem."
After she spoke, she couldn't help but add, "But it's been thirteen years since she's attended such an event. Keep an eye on her later, don't let her embarrass you."
Rong Rong stiffened upon hearing this.
Thirteen years, that was her sensitive term.
Doctor Xu, however, said, "These social events are old hat for Little Rong, she can pick it up effortlessly. Auntie, don't worry, no one will care."
