Shen Ningning didn't know what they were discussing, nor did she care.
The little one followed Lu Shaoyuan into the garden with Mo Lingwei.
Seeing the Crown Prince appear, the young masters and ladies were all surprised, and they hurried to greet him with bows.
Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's small hand, his expression calm and detached.
He spoke up. "I am accompanying Shen Ningning to the banquet today. All of you may enjoy yourselves. There is no need for excessive ceremony, nor do you need to be concerned about my presence."
With his words, everyone instantly felt less restrained.
Mo Lingwei had originally intended to keep Shen Ningning by his side the entire time.
However, at Lu Shaoyuan's birthday banquet, the seating for male and female guests was unexpectedly separated, divided by two festooned gates.
The banquet was about to begin, so Shen Ningning proactively let go of his hand.
"Brother, you eat and drink well, okay? I'm going over there to play!"
