Chapter 1717: Chapter 1717: The Noble’s Night Banquet (Part 3)
But this time, because she wanted to keep a distance from Yue Siqing, she decided not to go.
And Arthur, due to the search for Huo Xun, wouldn’t have the opportunity to attend.
Song Yi’s gaze right now had a hint of difference as he looked at her.
The chance for him to attend this banquet was not easy to come by; his agent had to pull a lot of strings.
But in her eyes, it seemed like a very normal and ordinary thing, not requiring much attention at all.
Her identity turned out to be even more mysterious than he thought.
No wonder she viewed fame and fortune so lightly. Although she had the chance to become famous, she had no inclination towards it.
She preferred to quietly play the piano at school, being just an ordinary teacher.
"Then would you like to be my date? It’s my first time attending such a high-level banquet as a guest, I’m a bit nervous," he said honestly.
"Sure," Gu Anjin changed her mind, her smile radiant, "There’s nothing to be nervous about, really."
As long as she wasn’t with Yue Siqing, she didn’t mind being with anyone else.
Since she couldn’t go elsewhere, rather than being stared at by those people, she might as well go to the banquet with Song Yi.
In places like that, those bodyguards wouldn’t be able to enter, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any other safety issues.
Gu Anjin initially planned to go back and change clothes, but suddenly thought that if Yue Siqing saw her, she might not be able to leave.
"But you need to accompany me to buy clothes first," she said to Song Yi with a smile, "I can’t go looking like this."
At the store, Gu Anjin quickly picked out a dress.
As Song Yi was about to pay, she had already taken out her own card.
"Jinjin, let me handle this. You’re accompanying me this time."
Gu Anjin insisted on handing over her own card, turning her head with a laugh, "It might not be so. Why can’t it be you accompanying me? It’s rare to have the chance to escape the bodyguards, and I was worrying about having no one to accompany me."
"But..." Song Yi watched as she charged tens of thousands without batting an eye and didn’t persist further.
While Gu Anjin went in to change clothes, the agent entered from outside the store.
"How is it? Haven’t made a choice yet?"
Song Yi pointed to the fitting room, "She’s already changing clothes; we’ll leave once she’s ready."
The agent nodded, glanced casually at the price tags, and exclaimed, "So expensive? Song Yi, do you think spending so much money on this girl is worth it? It’s a pity she’s not a star and could get brand sponsorships. Buying such an expensive dress herself is simply too costly. She’s only wearing it once, you didn’t need to bring her here."
"She came here herself, and she’s buying on her own, not me spending the money."
Only then did the agent breathe a sigh of relief, but quickly added, "How does she have so much money herself? Who is she really? She clearly doesn’t have any fame; how much can a university teacher earn? Could she be kept by someone, spending so much just to attend this banquet?"
Song Yi frowned, "What nonsense are you talking? Besides, she doesn’t need me to get in. You have no idea who she really is."
The agent’s words were profit-driven, but they were too harsh, even he couldn’t stand it.
"However, her ability to attend these events with you shows she’s not that kind of person. Seems like she must be the daughter of a wealthy family, which might be better than the celebrities arranged for you before. You should know how to use the resources around her."
