"Miss, we don't have time to chat with strangers anymore. His Highness is supposed to join you for dinner tonight. You cannot be late." Xiaowei urgently urged Yang Ning and forcibly dragged her away from the location.
They were already running late. Yang Ning couldn't afford to waste any more time engaging in conversation with a woman and risk being caught by His Highness.
Yang Ning wanted to argue, but she quickly realized that Xiaowei was speaking the truth. If Zheng Liang arrived at the residence early and discovered her absence, she would be in serious trouble.
"You should have mentioned this earlier. Look, the sky is already darkening," complained Yang Ning, shifting the blame onto Xiaowei for failing to remind her sooner.
"Why are you still walking so slowly? Run!" With these words, Yang Ning hastily gathered her long skirt and started running in a state of panic, disregarding her ladylike demeanor.
