Song Nian forced out a diplomatic answer, “Sure.”

Qi Yu sat by her side, the corners of his mouth twitching. He stood up and called out to Zheng Chengyang, “Let’s go.”

Zheng Chengyang looked at Song Nian in disappointment, then walked over to Qi Yu with his things to clear the way for him. Song Nian sat there steadily. She only got up from her seat when almost everyone had gotten off the plane.

At the airport exit, Song Nian had gotten into the hotel’s shuttle and began to have a headache. She and Qi Yu didn’t get off to a good start when they first met, and their relationship wasn’t perfect either. The final outcome was even more heartbreaking, so much so that they couldn’t even maintain their friendship in the end.

The hotel that Zheng Chengyang had booked for her was pretty good. The beach was not far away. It was still early, and the beach was crowded. Song Nian got out of the car, and a bellboy helped her with her luggage.

Zheng Chengyang had booked a hotel suite. The bedroom had a little balcony that faced the beach. Song Nian went in and walked around. She opened the window and let the sea breeze in. She sat on the rattan chair on the balcony and did not want to think about Qi Yu’s cold attitude on the plane.

Anyway, the two of them would not have much interaction in the future. She should not bother herself with overthinking.

Not long after Song Nian sat down, someone knocked on her door. She walked over slowly. The hotel manager stood outside the door and politely informed Song Nian that there would be a bonfire banquet at the beach at night. He wanted to invite Song Nian to attend.

Song Nian was puzzled, “Bonfire banquet?”

The manager smiled and explained, “It’s a banquet organized by our hotel. It is held every once in a while, and all guests are invited.”

Song Nian thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright, I’ll be there then.”

The manager handed an exquisite gift box to Song Nian, “You’re a VIP guest of our hotel. This is a small gift specially prepared for you. Please rest assured that everything is selected and purchased personally by our shopper. I guarantee that it won’t be the same as the other guests.”

Song Nian took the gift box, and she returned to her bedroom. The gift box contained a loose and comfy sundress that looked a little provocative. There was also a pair of sandals that came with it.

Song Nian smiled. This hotel was quite interesting. With this, she also became more intrigued by the bonfire banquet at night. She went into the bathroom to take a shower and ordered some room service. While waiting for the food, she browsed the news on her phone, mainly to check if there was any news about her and Qi Yu’s divorce on the Internet.

Back then, thanks to Grandpa Qi, their wedding was very grand. She could be said to have had a meteoric rise and became a phoenix when she got married to Qi Yu. Now that the phoenix had fallen and once again become a pheasant, she could not imagine how people would ridicule her.

However, Song Nian could not find any news about her and Qi Yu after searching for some time online. No one seemed to have found out about the divorce yet. Song Nian heaved a sigh of relief and thought that Qi Yu might have had a hand in this.

After all, a divorce wasn’t something to be proud of. As the frontman of the Qi family, getting divorced after being married for less than a year would surely damage the company’s image.

At night, the hotel was bustling with noise and commotion. Song Nian went to the window to take a look and realized that there was a big crowd downstairs. It was noisy as the guests walked towards the beach. She reckoned that the bonfire banquet was about to begin.

The hotel was huge, and there were many guests. The dinner was probably going to be lively. Song Nian quickly got dressed and went downstairs. To match the sundress given by the hotel, she specially put on an innocent-looking makeup that had been trendy online lately.

Song Nian checked herself out in the mirror in satisfaction. She then turned her long hair into a fishbone braid that hung over her shoulders. Well, now it was even more perfect.

After dressing up, she was in no hurry to go downstairs. There would be much preparatory work for the bonfire banquet, so she couldn’t enjoy anything even if she went down now. She simply took out her phone and posted two selfies to her social media.

In the photos, her eyes were curved, and she looked pure yet alluring. Song Nian stared at the photos for a while before turning off her phone. She didn’t have many friends on Wechat, and most of them were from the Qi family. Now that she and Qi Yu were divorced, those people had probably deleted her as well.

Therefore, almost no one saw the post that she made.

Song Nian laid on the rattan chair on the balcony in a daze. Only when the sky darkened did she slowly get up and leave. At this time, the bonfire banquet was almost ready. The hotel staff even set up a stage, and many people were dancing on it. The crowd around the stage was cheering.

The beach nearby was cleaned up, and a white dining table was set up. There were all kinds of snacks and drinks on it. Song Nian walked around and found that almost all the seats were occupied. However, she was in no hurry. She continued to look around for a seat.

After a while, the hotel staff came forward thoughtfully, “Are you by yourself? If it is okay with you, there’s a seat over there..”
