Lu Ning smiled and looked at her. “It’s a secret.”

Lin Ci smiled helplessly.

In the end, her gaze landed on her neck.

“Ningning, this necklace…”

Lu Ning turned around and looked at her. “Huh? What?”

Lin Ci shook his head. “It’s fine.’

She turned around and sighed, still not knowing how to broach the question.

Should I simply ask Auntie Shen directly?

But…

Lin Ci was thinking about something when someone suddenly patted their shoulders.

Lin Ci jumped, and so did Lu Ning.

When they turned around, Lin Yi was standing behind them. He patted Lin Ci’s shoulder with his left hand and Lu Nings shoulder with his right.

The two of them rolled their eyes at him.

“What?”

Lin Yi walked around to the front to look at them. “Want to come to mv birthday party tomorrow night?” He looked at the two of them. On the surface, he seemed casual, but in his heart, he was looking forward to them coming.

Lin Ci could not help but laugh. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Lu Nings voice.

“Sure.”

Lin Ci was stunned, and so was Lin Yi.

The two of them looked at Lu Ning in unison and saw her smiling faintly.

Lin Yi asked skeptically, “For real?”

“For real. You don’t believe me? Then how about I don’t go?”

Lin Yi immediately raised his hand and grabbed her arm. “No, no, please.

Please, come.’

Lin Ci looked at Lu Ning and felt that her behavior was very abnormal.

“I’ll go too.”

Lin Yi looked at her and smiled. “l thought you wouldn’t go over your dead body.”

Lin Ci rolled her eyes at him. “I’m still alive, but I just want to go.”

Lu Ning could not help but laugh when she saw the two of them bickering.

She turned around and looked at a place not far away.

“Lin Yi, is your fiancée going?”

Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at her. “Probably…”

Lu Ning nodded and did not say anything else.

Lin Yi looked at Lu Ning and frowned in confusion.

The ball was soon coming to an end.

Lu Ning and Lin Ci were eating and talking to Lu Jingzhi at the table while Lu Bai sat at the side.

“Ningning, where are your clothes?”

“Huh?”

Lu Ning was stunned and looked at her.

“Clothes, your clothes. Aren’t you going to change out?”

Lin Ci looked at her in confusion.

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. Naturally, she thought of the clothes she had left in the changing room, and then she thought of Huo Jinyan…

“I’ll go look for them. I forgot where I put them.”

She lowered her head to block her blushing face and lifted her skirt to walk out.

Lin Ci:

“Come on, put on a jacket.”

She hurriedly called out.

Lu Bai smiled. “It’s fine. She probably won’t freeze.”

Lin Ci turned to look at him in confusion.

“Take a seat.’

His voice was gentle. Lin Ci was no longer in a hurry to find Lu Ning and sat down obediently.

Lu Ning trotted out of the banquet hall and towards the changing room.

Actually, there was a direct path to the changing room from the hall, but she felt guilty and ran out, completely forgetting about this.

It was only when she felt the freezing wind outside that she realized.

Lu Ning slowed down a little. Her shoulders were a little chilly from the cold. She rubbed her arms with her palms as she walked towards the changing room.

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly felt a heavy presence behind her shoulder. Stunned, Lu Ning stopped in her tracks. She turned around and saw Huo Jinyan standing behind her under the moonlight.

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, she turned around, grabbed her skirt, and ran.

Huo Jinyan looked at her fleeing back and could not help but laugh. He followed her slowly.

After Lu Ning ran in, she heaved a sigh of relief and immediately went to the changing room to look for her clothes..
