With a cool, collected smile, she looked at both of them. "The event's about to start. Please, head inside."
She didn't wait for their reply.
Chen Lin turned on her heel and walked away, the sharp click of her heels drowning out whatever reaction they might've had.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with other guests, Chen Lin took a small step back, allowing herself a brief moment of respite before the next wave of people arrived.
Before long, another pair arrived, and when Chen Lin saw who it was, she froze in surprise.
It was Sun Liqin and Sun Wei.
Sun Liqin had asked her for an extra invitation just the other day.
At the time, she'd assumed it was for his partner, and she'd casually offered to let him bring a plus one without a second thought. She hadn't expected that the extra invite would be for Sun Wei.
Although she had worked on a project with Sun Wei in the past and they were acquaintances, they weren't exactly close, so she didn't invite him herself.
