While Chu Xi was still agonizing over it, she heard the voice of the server outside the door. Slouching with her shoulders hunched moments earlier, she quickly straightened up, her expression turning back to normal.
"Thank you." Sang Ning thanked the server politely as she stepped inside.
As soon as she entered, her gaze collided with Chu Xi's. Gone was Chu Xi's usual haughty demeanor of confrontation. Her expression seemed calm, but the slight flicker in her eyes still betrayed her unease.
