At a distance, the maids and old servants of the Gu Family hurriedly knelt and bowed. The servants who had come with the Lin family, though utterly bewildered, followed suit.
Her chaperone quietly warned Lin Jixue not to raise her head and look directly at the Noble.
'What kind of distinguished guest is this that I can't even take a peek?'

Lin Jixue thought to herself, 'People in the Capital City are so obsessed with rules.'
She kept her head down, feigning a docile and obedient appearance. But her eyes flickered, and she discreetly peeked at the newcomer from the corner of her eye.
That one glance made her heart tremble.
She had thought Gu Xun was already the pinnacle of good looks, with an air of nobility about him. She never imagined someone could so completely overshadow him.
