Pei Yansi glanced at her indifferently, "Long time no see."
His tone was detached; no emotion could be discerned, and even the look he gave her was utterly bland, as if she were an inanimate object devoid of life.
Chen Lingmeng was not surprised by his attitude; it seemed that she had already become accustomed to it from their previous encounters. She said, "I didn't expect you to attend my family banquet despite your busy schedule. But I am honored."
As she spoke, her every word and action exuded politeness and gentleness, befitting of a lady from a respectable family. However, the look she gave Pei Yansi was somewhat eager, tinged with admiration, which made her seem rather seductive.
From a distance, even with the space between them, Shen Heyu could see the look in Chen Lingmeng's eyes; it was evident that she was fond of Pei Yansi.
She made no attempt to hide it.
