Zuo Yuqing didn't call herself Mrs. Lu, but instead referred to herself as Miss Song, obviously reluctant to acknowledge her marriage to Lu Jingchen. However, whether she acknowledges it or not, it doesn't matter to her. At this moment, Song Qiao's tone is clearly that of the hostess, her voice soft, regardless of Yuqing's reaction, turning around and leaving directly.
She hadn't eaten much dinner, and the walk was not to aid digestion, just a way to get some fresh air due to feeling stifled.
As Zuo Yuqing watched Song Qiao's back, her hand at her side clenched tighter and tighter, nails almost digging into her flesh, causing waves of pain. Yet she seemed not to feel it, just quietly watching Song Qiao's departing figure.
After a walk around, Song Qiao did not return to the villa immediately but went to a park not far from the villa area to watch the ladies dance. She returned to the villa only at half-past eight.
