Wang Yuqian seemed to have been struck by lightning as she realized she had acted like a clown that night. She had thought that she was making fun of Ling Yiran, but in actual truth, all she had done was make fun out of herself and let everyone see her as a joke!
...
Ling Luoyin was rejected entry at Gu Lichen's private mansion as the servant said to her, "Please leave, Miss Ling. Sir told me that he doesn’t want to see anyone."
"Did you tell him it was me?" Ling Luoyin asked hurriedly. She had not seen much of Lichen ever since the banquet. Additionally, he had turned her down every time she tried to reach him.
Now, she had come straight to his house but was refused entry.
"Mr. Gu said he won't see 'anyone'. I suppose 'anyone' includes you, Miss Ling. Or you could call Mr. Gu and ask if he wishes to see you. If he does, I'll let you in," The servant said respectfully. Nevertheless, a hint of disdain could be seen in his eyes that were slightly lowered.
Ling Luoyin was one of the many women he had seen in his life. None of the crown prince's girlfriends had not been eager to get a hold of his heart. However, who could get a hold of it?
Miss Ling was ambitious. However, just like her predecessors, she was unable to enter the crown prince's heart. It probably would not take long for her to retire as the crown prince's girlfriend.
Ling Luoyin could only stare and gnash her teeth in hatred. Could she call Lichen and get him to see her? Would she beg a servant?
Inside the mansion, Gu Lichen was in his studio, holding a pencil and drawing a portrait–a portrait of what he imagined the little girl from his memories would look like after growing up.
Only after he had finished the portrait did he realize that what he had drawn was a Ling Yiran lookalike.
Gu Lichen stared at the portrait he had drawn and put down his pencil.
