At the end of the corridor, when they reached a room, Director Fan felt around in his pocket but couldn't find anything for a while.
"Little Xi, help me open the door. I remember bringing my key, so why don't I have it now?"
Jiang Xiao: "..."
She watched as Meng Xinian used the hairpin again to unlock the door and pushed it open.
Stepping from the darkness outside into the light-filled room, Jiang Xiao squinted her eyes slightly to adjust. She hadn't yet had time to take in the room before hearing Professor Fan exclaim.
"Little Xi, who is this? Did you bring a friend?"
Jiang Xiao: "..."
So he hadn't noticed her all this time?
So all this while she's been invisible?
It was the first time Jiang Xiao felt she had so little presence.
"Uncle Fan, this is my wife, Jiang Xiao."
"You're married already? When did that happen?"
"Not yet. Didn't I tell you the last time I was here? I'll be getting married at the end of August. You are welcome to come and have a celebratory drink."
