Joanna was somewhat dumbfounded—it had been many years since she had known Veronica, yet she had never seen her this eager.
Could this be the legendary love at first sight?
Gu Shengyin was so intent on finding the person who looked exactly like Ji Yu that she completely failed to notice a certain man, left behind in her mind, whose complexion had darkened as if he could wring out water.
Joanna inexplicably felt a bit chilly.
Gu Shengyin eagerly made her way through the cheerful crowd, looking toward the spot where the man had appeared earlier. Sadly, by the time she got there, it was empty.
Gu Shengyin felt disheartened. She turned and grabbed the hand of a noble lady, asking, "Where did the man who was standing here go? The one with black hair."
The young noblewoman hurriedly curtsied upon seeing her, and after hearing her question, giggled and said, "You must be talking about Lord Lin Qi? Someone came for him, and he left early."
Gu Shengyin wandered back listlessly.
