The sound of knocking echoed.
"Nanqing, why aren't you out yet? All the guests who should be here have arrived, we're just waiting for you, the main character, to make your appearance," Su Manhan called from outside.
Zhan Nanqing looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in an incredibly expensive gown, her neck and hands adorned with jewelry that was worth a fortune.
All these were carefully prepared by Su Manhan for Zhan Nanqing to celebrate her becoming a member of Professor Qiao's Research Institute.
"How am I going to face Qiao Jing! Awooo—"
"Dang dang dang!"
"Nanqing, are you ready?" Su Manhan was still knocking on the door and urging.
"I'm ready! I'm ready!" Zhan Nanqing took a deep breath, embracing a do-or-die resolution, stepped out of the room, and joined Su Manhan to head to the banquet hall.
Zhan Nanqing's gaze swept around, quickly locating Qiao Jing among the sea of people.
