The night scene was like a rainbow.

A crimson taxi stopped at the entrance of the biggest casino in A City’s No Night Palace. Before the uniformed doorman could help pull the door open, a girl hurriedly got out of the car by herself.

She was born beautiful, with a small palm-sized face that reflected the lights of the No Night Palace, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world. It was just that her long hair was messy and she was wearing a cheap T-s.h.i.+rt on her thin body. One of her feet wore a slipper, the other white dainty foot bare and looking out of place in the beautiful and extravagant atmosphere of No Night Palace.

Anxious, she ignored the doorman trying to block her from entering the casino and looked around as if searching for someone.

She quickly located her target and hurriedly ran to a huge gaming table and called out, “Zhao Yixuan!”

At the gambling table, a handsome man dressed in a handwork high-grade s.h.i.+rt turned around and saw her. He was very surprised and frowned subtlely. “Yingluo, why are you here?”

The girl named Yingluo was angry and wronged. She glared at him with slightly red eyes and pointed her finger at the woman beside him. “How come you are with her? Didn’t you say you would love me forever, why has your heart changed so quickly?!”

Her voice was clear and sad. At that moment, the gamblers at the entire table looked over.

Zhao Yixuan felt his shame turned to anger at their scrutiny. He said sternly to Yingluo, “Don’t make a fuss!”

“How am I making a fuss?” She wanted to cry, but she still forced him to admit his wrongdoings fiercely. She took out her cell phone and threw it onto the table. “Look at it yourself! Isn’t this a picture of you and Pei Yan? You, how could you two do this to me behind my back!”

On the screen of the mobile phone was a figure of a man and a woman entangled in a luxurious big bed. Although it had been photoshopped with great skill, it was still obvious that the two were naked and erotically intertwined. Their faces were also very clear. It was Zhao Yixuan and the female companion beside him.

Zhao Yixuan was shocked by the photo. How could she have this?

She heard his female companion sneer and glance arrogantly at Yingluo. “Xia Yingluo, I was the one who sent you this picture, do you like my big gift to you? Right, I forgot to tell you. I’m getting engaged to Yixuan soon, remember to come and drink with us then.” While she talked, she wrapped her arms around Zhao Yixuan’s body affectionately and blew into his ear, glancing at Xia Yingluo provocatively.

Xia Yingluo’s face turned pale. Really… it was all true!

It had long been rumored that Zhao Yixuan had hooked up with Imperial Entertainment’s Pei Yan, but she had always refused to believe it, insisting that their pledge of undying love was eternal. But who knew that his heart had changed completely in less than a year!

“Why…” She looked sadly at Zhao Yixuan and asked incredulously.

“I’ll tell you.” The answer came from Pei Yan, who was wearing a delicate and elegant silk evening dress, her entire enchanting body entwined around Zhao Yixuan like a snake. However, Zhao Yixuan did not push her away. She looked at Xia Yingluo playfully. “Because I am more honorable than you, my family is good, I am educated, and I can give my support to Yixuan’s career. What about you? You have nothing but your face, what do you have to fight with me?”

So, Zhao Yixuan had chosen Pei Yan and not her?

Her chest felt tight and sullen, and she asked Zhao Yixuan in a trembling voice, “Yixuan, is what she said true?”

Zhao Yixuan’s expression was a little awkward as he quickly said, “Yingluo, I have never said that we were together, so please stop clinging to me. This is not where you should be, just go.”

She felt as though her heart had been badly hit, suffocating her and giving her great pain.

It turned out that her love was so fragile. Her boyfriend not only abandoned her for money and power but also denied that he had ever been together with her! Then, what was all the hard work and joy she had felt for that one year…

Xia Yingluo’s nose was sore and she almost couldn’t help but shed tears. She endured it and said chokingly, “Yixuan, you were the one who told us to keep our relations.h.i.+p a secret because you were afraid it would affect me when I debut, and you even told me you love me, how could you deny it? You still remember… do you still remember when we first met nine months ago, and you said that you wanted to be good to me? I only went to Imperial Entertainment’s Training Camp to be your girlfriend!”

Zhao Yixuan frowned and looked around him, aware of the curious eyes of all the other gamblers and Pei Yan. He couldn’t help but be angry and interrupted Xia Yingluo’s words. “Don’t talk nonsense! You’re just a poor n.o.body who got into Imperial Entertainment with all kinds of methods, but you’re still under the delusion that I would fall in love with you? I think it’s more likely that you saw I’m Imperial Entertainment’s best manager now, so you wanted to cling onto me!”

His words were heart-wrenching, and she was in so much pain that she couldn’t stand stably.

“Hah, cling…” Her voice became hoa.r.s.e, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

Zhao Yixuan, he thought he was all that just because he was a manager?

Did he know who she was!

Her, Xia Yingluo, was the only beloved daughter of the world’s largest underground power’s leader, Li Lei. The only biological daughter of the national master that everyone revered and admired, the only phoenix in the world, the pearl in the palm of the legendary Queen Xia Ling! Ever since young, she had been adored by countless wealthy and powerful elders, pampered by them as if she was a precious treasure. She could get anything she wanted, so which girl in this world was more expensive than her?

With her ident.i.ty, was it being hard on him, a mere manager in the entertainment industry for her to like him?

She looked at him with sorrow and sarcasm. “Zhao Yixuan…”

She didn’t tell him that she had left home alone this time to complete the family trials—every child of the Li family had to hide their ident.i.ty for two years before they became an adult, so that he could understand how difficult it was to survive, as well as how big of a shelter the family provided for them.

Sure enough, after losing her ident.i.ty of being “the Li family’s Big Lady”, even the people she liked has abandoned her so readily.

“Did you know…” She was in so much pain that she couldn’t breathe, and she finally said, “I planned to bring you back to see my parents after a year.” At that time, he could get anything he wanted, and could even set up his own entertainment company like her father that could compete against Imperial Entertainment. Why would he need to bother sucking up to the Pei family’s lady?

She heard that Imperial Entertainment’s Chairman Pei Ziheng was at his prime and still had not decided who was to be the next heir!

How big of a future did he think he could have by marrying Pei Yan?

It would definitely be far less than what she could bring to him!

It was a pity, it was already too late to say anything. He had made his choice before she could reveal her true ident.i.ty.

She was broken-hearted, but Zhao Yixuan didn’t know her thoughts and only looked at her disdainfully. “See your parents? You are really whimsical. What qualifications do your parents living poorly in the mountains have to see me?”

That was the fake ident.i.ty the family had given her when she had come out to experience the trial, but he had taken it for real.

Xia Yingluo didn’t want to say anything. At this moment, she suddenly saw his true face. He was so ungrateful and heartless, and didn’t even have a little bit of respect for others. Was she blind to have fallen for such a person?

She laughed at herself and turned to leave. “Well, I wish you happiness then.”

“Wait,” Pei Yan said. She didn’t intend to let her go just like this. She swept her eyes over the doorman and the bodyguards who had come running in. She smiled, harboring malicious intentions, and asked the security guards, “I remember the rules of the casino. If you run in on your own and disturb the other guests, don’t they have to suffer a punishment?”
