With her mood lifted up to the heaven, Yang Hui truly began to enjoy the party . Her former cla.s.smates were surprised, and a bit alarmed, as Yang Hui took the initiative to talk and enjoy party with them .

"My boyfriend booked a room for me here as a surprise gift . " She gloated . "It was convenient for me that the party took place here . "

"You're really lucky, Yang Hui . Your boyfriend must be loaded!"

"He's actually a manager from WPE . " She said .

"That's amazing! I wish I had a girlfriend who works at WPE so that I have a reason to come there and maybe catch a glimpse at CEO Bai if I'm lucky enough . "

Now that the guy mentioned it, Yang Hui never thought of entering WPE .

It was quite the sensitive topic, especially when it comes to WPE's mysterious CEO .

Even when Yang Hui begged her boyfriend to reveal her ident.i.ty, he gave her a flat no .

The reason?

Fear .

"How about you guys come see the room after the party? The room is very big for all of us . " She offered with smile .

This was an unusual behavior from the stuck-up princess they used to know .

Hmm . . . maybe people do change when they get older . . . . is what they would think .

But this is Yang Hui .

And kindness does not exist in her dictionary .

Nonetheless, they couldn't refuse such rare offer . Especially when it comes to the most extravagant and expensive hotel in the planet .

The discussion went on until Ethan entered Yang Hui's line of sight .

She saw Ethan strode through the parted crowd with the usual n.o.ble air surrounding him .

Yang Hui excused herself from the circle .

Now that the hurdle was out of the picture, Yang Hui boldly walked towards him . Her wide hips swung with every step .

Yang Hui wrapped her arm around his bicep .

"h.e.l.lo, Ethan~" Her eerily seductive voice entered his ear with an uncomfortable vibration .

Ethan roughly pulled himself away from her, completely disregarding the proper manner a man should act towards a woman .

Yang Hui was surprised from his roughness . A hurt expression wiped her triumphant smile but was quickly replaced by a pout .

"Why are you so mean~?" Her hands shamelessly placed themselves on his chest, with fingers playfully tracing it .

"Don't resist it, Ethan . I know you want me . "

"Get out of my way . " He glowered, harshly swatting her hands off him as if they were disgusting bugs .

Yang Hui flinched from his cold and unforgiving glare .

A dark, menacing aura radiated from his towering figure . Yang Hui was frozen, completely petrified .

Seeing that she was affected by the murderous intent he was emitting, Ethan walked pa.s.s her .

Yang Hui clenched her hands harshly that it turned bluish . Her lower lip almost oozed blood because of the pressure from her teeth as she bit it .

Raging eyes turned back to where Ethan went before following after him .

She saw him come back to the table he and Lillie shared, only to find it empty .

Yang Hui composed herself and put on a worried facade . "Oh, are you looking for Thea?"

Ethan grunted as he gave her a side glance . "Where is she . " He demands .

An innocent look spread across her face . "Hmm . . . I saw her going up the elevator when I went to the washroom . She looks really fl.u.s.tered too . Maybe she had too much champagne . " She shrugged .

"Do you know which floor?" He asked . The hotel's elevator indicates which floor the elevator was at . This was a good alibi that could save Yang Hui from questions later on .

Not that it matters, really .

When Ethan knew that his wife slept with another, no matter how much he treasures her, his pride will always force him to relinquish her .

Knowing Ethan, he would not keep a dirty woman .

Besides, no man wanted to wear a green hat [1] .

"I think it was . . . the 25th floor?" She answered with an unsure tone .

Ethan wanted to scoff at her terrible acting .

Like, who would wait to see where the elevator would stop if you're not using it?

Either you're a very curious person, or had ulterior motives .

And Yang Hui was the latter .

"You wouldn't happen to know which room she's at, would you?"

Yang Hui's eyes widen . "W-what are you talking about? Of course I wouldn't . " She denied .

Humph! As if he believes her .

Just based on how she quickly denies the accusation and her reaction, it's clear that she's suspicious .

Ethan scoffed and walked away .

Leaving a very confused and frustrated Yang Hui .
