Honglin smiled eerily and still proceeded to talk. "I was invited to an important event. Would you accompany me?"
"I am not going." She ignored him and opened the door to enter inside.
He blocked her, wrapping his hand around the doorknob to close it. "Weren't you invited?"
She frowned slightly but she had a feeling that this was her parent's doing. "Even so, I am still not going."
He grabbed her hand and enclosed them in his own. "You need to go out more often. We are engaged for so long but we are hardly seen together in public. People are starting to ask questions."
She pushed him away. "Since when did I care about what people say or think?"
He clenched his teeth and sighed. She was misbehaving again, showing him her rebellious and difficult personality. He was asked to bring his fiancée to accompany him in order to close an important deal with an overseas company and he had already suspected that she would refuse his request.
