Gai Yu wasn't in the mood to attend the party, after all, she didn't win an award and was overshadowed by Ning Xiaofei. During the party later, she'd likely become even more of a star, so Gai Yu didn't want to go and continue losing face there.
So, as soon as the ceremony ended, she prepared to leave.
However, Ning Xiaofei's voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reached just the right volume for half the room to hear. If she pretended not to hear, she would seem rude and become a laughing stock.
Internally annoyed with Ning Xiaofei, Gai Yu halted her steps and gracefully turned around.
Ning Xiaofei strode over with a smile, with Ye Qiao and Ji Mo among others following closely behind. Those around who heard the voice also stopped and watched.
