Chapter 86 - 086: Two Uncles Won’t Come, Right? (1 more update)
When Lai Yang heard about the matchmaking event, her eyes shone with anticipation as she excitedly dragged Ning Guiwan to the mall to try on evening dresses. All the unmarried young masters and misses from Shencheng’s elite circles would be there.
Ning Guiwan felt as if she had fallen into a trap, one the trapper themself hadn’t even realized they’d set.
Seated on the sofa, Ning Guiwan flipped through the store’s magazine. Her gaze followed the bustling Lai Yang, who tirelessly picked out and tried on dresses. Lai Yang’s face brimmed with joyful anticipation, as if she were about to meet her heart’s desire.
She wasn’t even sure if her beloved would attend.
As Ning Guiwan watched, distant memories suddenly stirred, unearthing themselves from deep within her heart.
She first met Quan Xiangru when she was twelve. At that time, amidst the cheerful laughter, she had only noticed a boy sitting alone in a corner, strikingly handsome and exceedingly quiet. For a long time afterward, her impression of Quan Xiangru was limited to that of a quiet, handsome older boy.
They truly got to know each other after she began high school.
By then, Quan Xiangru had already been admitted to the country’s top university. Ning Guiwan, however, was entering her rebellious phase; her grades were poor, and she spent her days thinking only of hanging out with Lai Yang and Zhang Ziyan.
Chi Tingshuang held high hopes for her daughter, wishing for her to be admitted to a prestigious university in Britain. She had even arranged accommodation for her there while Ning Guiwan was still in junior high.
