To the dissatisfaction of some people, the interaction between Chen Yi and Li Bai Yuan went down peacefully. Ye Zan looked glum in particular. Beckoning over her daughter, he whispered something to her. Li Min nodded and slipped out of the crowd.
Li Bai Yuan couldn't have enough of Li Luxian. She had him sit close to her and chattered incessantly. Advising him this and that and not even remembering to get angry for the stoic expression he wore. To the pain of some, it was clear as sky that he was her precious jewel. No one could drive a wedge between them.
Chen Yi kept them company, exchanging requisite introductory words with the masses for some time before she noticed something through the corner of her eyes.
Looking back, she found Li Bai Yuan totally engrossed in chatting with her grandson. Li Min and Ye Bai were nowhere to be found. It was unlikely anyone would notice her absence. Falling quiet at first, she blended into the background before she gradually disappeared.
