~Flashback. A few hours ago~
Wanqing had been standing in a particular spot for over five minutes now, ever since she got summoned to her parents chambers. She didn't want to move.
The messages had arrived the moment after the warriors dragged Anning out of her room and honestly, Wanqing hadn't thought much of it at first. Why?
Because her said parents, her mother especially, had always been displeased with everything she did. Whether it involved socializing, marriage or simply her attitude.
So, when Lanzhin informed her that the master and mistress had requested her presence, Wanqing merely nodded at her but she still didn't move from where she was standing.
It was at that moment, she unfortunately remembered the utterly ridiculous expression Anning had made earlier.
The image replayed in her head vividly and instead of making her feel annoyed, it made her feel...weird?
