Yue Rujing responded, "Yes, yes, yes, the child is just playing around, he'll be back soon!"
Yue Rujing smiled in response, arranging for the guests to be seated, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
If it were truly just because he was playing around, how great it would be if he came back soon.
The Princess wasn't seen coming out to greet, nor was the Prince seen, but because Yue Rujing was deftly managing the scene, everyone remained in high spirits, and the banquet proceeded happily.
After lunch, the guests were gradually sent off, leaving only those who were from further away or had close relations with the host of the Ningwang Residence.
As night fell, Gu Youyou, who hadn't seen her husband and son all day, became increasingly uneasy.
"Ajing, why isn't Zijin back yet?"
