You will be happier in a moment.

Su Ran's gaze lightly swept over the stage, her vermillion lips curving into a lustrous arc.

But in Xinyan's eyes, her brows suddenly twitched, and a faint unease took hold of her heart.

"To receive praise from my sister for the first time, I'm truly happy..."

Xinyan's beautiful face lit up with excitement and joy, as if affirmation from Su Ran was an incredibly pleasing matter.

Su Ran nodded, her gaze gradually darkening.

"You'll be even happier in a bit."

She sipped the champagne, and the dim lighting hid the curvature of her lips.

"Xiao Ran..."

Gu Heng stood in front of her, looking at her with a complex expression.

"You and the Xu Family's eldest son..."

Upon hearing this.

Su Ran looked up at him.

That look in her eyes was one he knew all too well—so serene, it was as if he were less than a stranger to her.

A twinge of discomfort briefly seized the bottom of Gu Heng's heart.

"If you're unwilling, I can go talk to grandma..."

"Ha!"
