Si Yan had been watching Ning Lue closely, his heart initially hanging in suspense. But when he saw Ning Lue chatting with Yu Jingrong, seemingly having a pleasant conversation, he began to relax.
However, just as his heart was starting to settle, Ning Lue's expression suddenly changed. It was as if he had swallowed a bitter pill, the kind of face twisted into a knot with utter bitterness.
Si Yan froze for a moment, then suddenly stood up without saying a word, leaving with an ashen face.
Meanwhile, Yu Jingrong glanced up at him briefly, shrugged, and went back to enjoying her dessert.
Sensing something was off, Si Yan quickly followed him and found Ning Lue walking toward the exit, already leaving the Banquet Hall and heading to the garden outside.
If he kept walking like this, he might leave the venue altogether.
