In Such Moments, Don't Add to the Mess

But hearing Old Mrs. Han confirming this to be true, Shi Xiaoya still felt happy.

She did not even know how cute she looked when she could not help but smile secretly. Han Zhuoling saw how she looked when she did that and it colored his gaze with gentleness.

"That's settled!" Old Mrs. Han seized the chance to say. "When the competition ends, you are not allowed to leave by yourself. You can come and eat with us first."

After eating, they'd let Han Zhuoling send her home. How natural and convenient was that?

Shi Xiaoya did not have time to say anything before the door to the room was knocked on.

The school had even especially sent security officers over to escort them over.

Lu Man separated from them at the audience seating area and went to the participants' seating area to take her seat.
