From a distance, rumors of such kind were already within earshot!
Zhong Lingling's heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, someone happened to see her and Shen Zhixuan emerging together, tapped the person beside them, and pointed in Zhong Lingling's direction, whispering, "Here they come!"
Their gazes towards Shen Zhixuan and Zhong Lingling seemed to brand them as adulterers!
Zhong Lingling's face flushed instantly!
Shen Zhixuan probably heard the murmurs of the crowd as well, for he furrowed his brows and strode into the midst of the people.
Seeing Shen Zhixuan, everyone hastily made way to either side.
Zhong Lingling followed suit.
After all, the crowd had just been discussing Shen Zhixuan and Zhong Lingling, so when they appeared before them, everyone lowered their heads.
There was no need to mention Shen Zhixuan's status, and Zhong Lingling was the young mistress of the Xiang Family, so even if she were not, who would dare say anything in her presence?
