Gu Chaoyan looked at Li Yuanxiang with a look of surprise.
She did ask Li Yuanxiang to be her witness a couple of days ago at the Saint College, but Yuanxiang told her that her mother did not want them to spend more time with each other, in case her father made use of them. So Gu Chaoyan stopped thinking about that.
However, now Li Yuanxiang came to her and asked if she could be the witness.
She would definitely have asked her to be the witness if the position was vacant, but now the position was already taken.
Gu Chaoyan said awkwardly, “Yuanxiang, when you told me that you could not come, Princess Yunxi offered to become the witness back at the Min Mansion, so I said yes…”
“But you are welcome to come to my Adulthood Ceremony. I would be so happy if you could come, even if you are not a witness,” Gu Chaoyan said sincerely. She was not very good at articulating, but she was trying her best to express herself in front of Li Yuanxiang.
Princess Yunxi?
Li Yuanxiang looked at Gu Chaoyan with disappointment. So she was too late right?
She was not as good as Princess Yunxi in any way.
Chaoyan’s assistant and witness for the ceremony were both princesses, and she should not have come and asked for such a stupid favor. Li Yuanxiang’s face sank. Her mother was going to blame her!
Li Yuanxiang looked saddened, but she still forced a smile. “It is… fine, since you already said yes to Princess Yunxi, then just forget about it. I was just worried so I came and asked. Don’t worry.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She had no idea what had happened to Li Yuanxiang, but in her eyes, anyone with a sincere blessing and wish could be her assistant and witness.
“Are you coming to the Adulthood Ceremony?”
“I will see, if I have time, I will be there.” Li Yuanxiang forced a smile. “I need to go now, the Dean still has a lot of medicine to be made.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and was about to stand up to see Li Yuanxiang off.
Li Yuanxiang waved her hands. “It is okay, I can go myself.”
Gu Chaoyan saw her determination…
She thought for a while and looked at Sword One. “Sword One, go and see off Yuanxiang.”
Sword One followed the girl out.
Li Yuanxiang did not turn her down since it was Sword One.
Gu Chaoyan felt that something was wrong. She had not spent much time with Yuanxiang, but she knew her relatively well. She was innocent and had a very pure smile on her face. So why was she forcing her smile a while ago?
Did something happen?
When Sword One returned, Gu Chaoyan asked Sword One involuntarily, “Anything wrong with Yuanxiang, you think?”
Sword One shook her head. “Nothing?”
That was what Miss Li Yuanxiang was like all the time, right?
Sword One was worried that her Miss would feel embarrassed by the matter of the witness, so she consoled her. “Elder Miss, don’t overthink it. I believe that Miss. Li Yuanxiang would understand you. You invited her first, but she turned you down, so you agreed to Princess Yunxi instead. That was a reasonable thing, because to your knowledge Miss. Li Yuanxiang was unable to come. She will understand that that is why you turned her down this time, she won’t blame you,” Sword One said.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while.
