A single "sister" immediately softened the faces of the crowd. The noblewoman previously smiled and greeted Yuanbao, then automatically made way for him.
Ever since Yuanbao became the top scorer, the Song Mansion has never been short of visitors. Song Qi only knew that her cousin had considerable influence within the circle, but she never imagined that "considerable" would mean this. When he made an appearance, almost all the elders in the noble circle knew him, each hoping to make him their son-in-law, their eagerness plain to see.
Song Qi couldn't help but wonder if the girl her cousin fancied in the future would become the target of public admiration.
"What are you dawdling around for? Hurry up and follow?"
After walking a bit, Yuanbao found something amiss and turned around to see Song Qi standing still. He frowned.
Upon hearing him, Song Qi immediately reacted, apologetically tugging at the corners of her mouth before quickly stepping to catch up with Yuanbao.
