Xi Luting was caught red-handed, and her arrogance immediately dissipated.
She smiled sheepishly, her head drooping, shrinking into herself like a pickled cucumber.
"That... Pan Pan... I, I didn't catch what you just asked. Could you, maybe, ask it again?"
Pan Ge ignored her and turned to Han Lie.
"I heard it's for your celebration?"
Han Lie hurriedly stood up, vacating the seat where he was comfortably flanked, and invited his 'sponsor' to take the place of honor.
"It's not an official celebration, just a small gathering... I had planned to invite you separately tomorrow. Indeed, when there's a connection, a special invitation isn't needed; kindred spirits will find each other anywhere!"
PAH!
Shameless!
All the women thought so, except for Ding Ding, who was overjoyed.
The drama she hadn't finished watching the day before was unfolding again today!
Han Lie made room, squeezing in between Ding Ding and Little Northeast, and warmly invited Pan Ge to take his previous seat.
