Tang Yaxuan was thrilled to receive Gu Shaoling's invitation to her birthday party. She lost all interest in shopping and rushed home, beaming the entire way. She had to go back and check her closet; she was sure she could find an outfit suitable for the party.
When she got home, however, she found the shoes Wu Xiaowen had worn out that morning scattered by the door. Her overcoat and scarf were also on the coat hook. This meant Wu Xiaowen was already home.
Tang Yaxuan couldn't quite figure out the situation. 'Wasn't she on a date with Tang Qingyun? Eating Western food and drinking red wine at the International Hotel... you're supposed to savor it slowly and speak in hushed tones. That should take a lot of time. Even if they had Chinese food, they'd get tea or coffee afterward. How could she possibly be back so soon?'
