1461 A Celebration Of Their Engagemen (2/2)

After a while, her tea turned cold, but she continued drinking it. Yan Chen finally noticed her and saw that she was still holding her cup of cold tea. He wanted to say something but swallowed the words instead.

He took a look outside and saw the color of the sky. It was probably time for him to send them back. Gu Xijiu turned to look at Lan Waihu, who seemed to be contemplating in her deep thoughts as she stared blankly at an empty space.

Gu Xijiu called out her name, and she finally answered. Recovered from her thoughts, she rose and put her cup down.

A sudden realization hit Yan Chen. He then proceeded to take out two red invitations and handed them out. ”Xijiu, Waihu, I will be getting engaged after two weeks. I hope both of you will be able to attend.”

Lan Waihu froze momentarily upon hearing his words. However, she accepted the invitation. Carelessly, her sleeve knocked over the cup on the table. It fell to the ground and shattered. The tea spilled all over the floor.

”I am so sorry!” Lan Waihu quickly apologized. Her voice sounded a little hoarse.

”Are you ok?” Yan Chen looked at her face. ”Are you not feeling well?”

Lan Waihu shook her head. ”I was careless. I am well. It is quite late now. We should get going.”

She pulled Gu Xijiu and they both left.

Gu Xijiu did not say anything, but she could clearly feel Lan Waihu's icy cold fingers on her skin. Her palms were sweaty.

Yan Chen watched as Lan Waihu walked away in a flurry and became overwhelmed with a sudden wave of emotion.

He wanted to say something but decided to stay quiet instead.

On the cover of the invitation, there was a drawing of a twin lotus flower with only one stalk. Two names were clearly engraved on the cover.

It was Yan Chen and Leng Wushuang's engagement, inviting Lan Waihu to join them in their celebration. Lan Waihu had been staring blankly at the red invitation ever since she came back.
