It was the first big party being held by Miss Yan Jiaren after her return to

China. She had invited quite a number of the finest celebrities, heirs, and

heiresses from upper-cla.s.s society in Jingdu to her party. With the status of

the Jiangs as the third most established n.o.ble family, coupled with the prestige

of the Yan family in Jingdu, even if people did not know who Yan Jiaren was,

they would still attend out of respect for the two families

With a crowd like that, the party was bound to be a hit.

This was also the reason why Yun Xi had boldly chosen to use this ball for her

ploy. More important, Yan Jiaren was Jiang Chenghuans cousin, so she didnt

have to worry about being implicated in the process.

Even if someone was offended in the process, it wouldnt really be her

offending them, it would be Liang Xiuqin. If Yun Yuanfeng did want her to

appease anyone, she could simply tell Jiang Chenghuan about it and let them

stay anxious for a good ten days. The thought of it made her feel rather

satisfied.

But, most important, it hadnt been long since Yan Jiaren had returned to China

and her private life was pretty low key. No matter how well-informed Liang

Xiugin and Yun Ziling were, it was impossible for them to know so soon that

the boutique where they had stolen the dress had been opened by Yan Jiaren.

Who knows, she might just steal the attention of the crowd gathered here

today to promote her own clothing line.

Whats more, Yun Ziling and Liang Xiugin were the ones who were dying to

come to this party. She was simply pus.h.i.+ng the boat along the current. Sure,

they could take advantage of her, but could they afford the price tag that came

with it?

Since she was taking on the job as a waitress at the banquet, Yun Xi and Jiang

Chenghuan agreed to meet beforehand at the hotel.

The banquet was to be held on the first floor, and Mu Feichi and Yun Xi had

agreed he would wait for her in the VIP room on the third floor. She should

look for him there when the party was over. He was afraid that Yan Jiaren

might latch herself onto him if she saw him.

After getting out of the car, Yun Xi couldnt stop herself from mischievously

knocking on the car window and saying teasingly, Young Commander, are you

really not coming in to see Miss Yan Jiaren? I hear shes super-famous and a

talented beauty at that.

Standing by the car door, Yun Xi looked at the man sitting in the back seat with

the window wound down. They were in a remote corner of the hotel

compound, which was also a blind spot. It was not easy to spot who was in the

car, so they both spoke brazenly.

Isnt there one standing in front of me right now? Why do I need to go into the

hotel to see another one? Am I supposed to eat from the bowl while having my

eyes on the pot? Are you sure thats a good look for me, babe?

Uh.. He made a solid point and she simply could not refute him.

What she hated most was the type of men who had one foot in two different

boats. Fortunately, Mu Feichi was just the opposite. If he had made up his

mind, he would be dead set on the one and would not change his mind easily.

A dedicated heart was precisely what made a man even more charming and

admirable.

Okay, go enjoy the show. If anything happens, I will be there to help you.

Tm not going to get involved with todays affairs. Besides, no one will

recognize me in a mask at a masquerade ball, so Im not going to dip my feet

into the muddy waters.

The corner of Mu Feichis lips perked up ever so slightly. Then he grabbed her

hand and pulled her close and kissed her hard on her lips. Just do whatever

you want to do and dont worry. Even if all h*ll breaks loose in there, Tll have

your back!

Tll bet youre the only person in all of Jingdu who would dare speak like that!

Only the young military commander, Mu Feichi, could be so overbearing and

unreasonable.

As she retracted her hand, she patted Mu Feichi on his head like he was a pet.

Dont worry, I wont dig a pothole for myself to fall into.

Yun Xi watched Mu Feichis car drive into the underground parking lot before

turning around. Then she entered the hotel and reported herself to the front

desk

Standing by the concierge, Yun Xi saw the hotel manager hurrying to the

elevator after receiving a call. He was likely headed toward the underground

parking lot to greet Mu Feichi at the entrance of the elevator lobby. The sight

seemed rather amusing to her.

Not long after she had arrived, Yumo came walking in.

Yun Xi! Why did you come so early? Are you really going to be a waitress?

Yun Xi glanced at her wool coat and sweatpants. She certainly did not look like

she was here for a ball.

Why arent you in a dress? Dont tell me youve come to join me as a waitress?

Mais, oui! How could you not count on me for a good show!
