For some reason, even though it's the scorching summer, Su Jiuyi feels a chill straight to her heart, as if she has stepped into an ice cellar, an extraordinary cold.
"Since she's Young Master Jue's fiancée, why is she always with Mr. Qin?" a girl asked complainingly, "Mr. Qin doesn't pay attention to me anymore!"
"That's her skill, perhaps she's deliberately hiding her engagement with Young Master Jue, trying to win over Mr. Qin."
Su Jiuyi hurriedly turned off the tap, jogging back to the ballroom, bumping into a few waiters holding trays along the way.
She searched around for a while and saw Qi Jingren sitting by the fountain outside the ballroom, playing with a piece of pastry to tease a poodle.
Qin Shaobai was lazily leaning against a nearby tree, hands in his pants pockets, smiling at her.
Su Jiuyi was too focused on finding someone, not noticing that Shi Aoju was right behind her, observing her.
"What's wrong?" Shi Aoju asked when he saw she hadn't reacted for a while.
