100 So Real

The last-minute planned soirée took place at Jin Qing's house. Usually, he did not have guests over, but he wanted Long Mei's closest friends to spend the evening with them. 

Luo Nuying gaped at the interior and decorations once she walked in, amazed by Jin Qing's taste. 

"Don't break anything," Nikolai muttered. 

"Relax. I won't," Luo Nuying countered. "This is my first time here. That's all." 

Long Kun eyed the two curiously from behind, but Luo Nuying was far too distracted to notice. She would have been over the moon if she had caught his eye. 

Long Kun looked away before Luo Nuying glanced at him, wondering what he was thinking beneath his cold exterior. 

Long Mei then invited them to the kitchen and offered them some cheese, grapes, and crackers along with some wine. Jin Qing kept a short distance from her. He was close enough to touch but not enough to be all over him.
