"Leng, have some tea."

Seeing that Sister Yu Qin did not say a word and instead directly showed her attitude through her actions,

Leng was initially a little slow to react.

It was only when she blankly took the steaming cup of tea from the respectful Sister Yu Qin and drank a sip

that she felt the faint sweetness spreading from the inside out. It was so sweet that it reached the depths of her heart.

Only then did Leng belatedly come to her senses and say,

"Yu Qin... you..."

She lowered her head and glanced at the tea she had already drunk halfway. Finally, finally certain that she had not misunderstood, Leng answered with overwhelming delight.

"Eh!"

And so, the matter concerning Sister Yu Qin finally came to an end.

Except...

"It's just that... the timing is too awkward! If... if only this had happened a few days earlier... how wonderful that would have been! If it had been a few days earlier, we might even have made it in time..."

At this point, Leng said regretfully,

"We could have made it to our group wedding. But now, we're stuck in this awkward middle ground... What a pity."

Leng genuinely felt sorry for Sister Yu Qin. After all, everyone else in the harem had managed to take part, leaving only her behind.

Naturally, that made it feel like a shame.

Would attending the wedding earn her more favor in Ximen Lang's heart, give her greater importance, and make her future days in the Ximen Family easier?

Give me a break! Ximen Lang,
