As expected, Ji Yuzhe received the invitation to the Feng Estate dinner celebration. If he weren't married to Feng Suyin, he wouldn't have come — he would have found a bottle and a dark room and stayed there until the night was over. But since no one had any idea that Feng Suyin had decided to marry him instead of Ji Hanjun, he accepted the invitation without hesitation.
Feng Suyin left an hour before him, and Ji Yuzhe arrived alone.
When he walked in, hardly anyone acknowledged him. He made his way to the table where Feng Suyin's friends already sat. Jiang Yunyi was unusually quiet. Xia Lingling turned her glass in her hands like she needed something to do with them.
Ji Yuzhe settled into his chair and didn't look for Feng Suyin. He knew roughly where she was from the sound of the room shifting around her, from the way the other guests kept orienting themselves toward the same corner. He didn't need to see her clearly to know she was there.
