Later, Ran Xueyi felt that it was time for them to get out of the party. However, there were more people who wanted to strike a conversation with them than she thought. A lot of investors who were rarely seen in this type of occasion surrounded Song Yu Han in a circle, and due to her standing beside him, she was also forced to stand in that circle.

"Young master Song looks amazing today. I wonder where you bought that suit? My son, this lazy bastard, doesn't know how to dress properly, so I wish to find out what your secret is so that he can also learn how to appear in public with confidence." An investor with a slightly balding head politely praised Song Yu Han.

Song Yu Han was also not that stingy to keep the brand who made his clothes for that night a secret, and revealed the name.

As soon as he said the brand name, they all froze.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Isn't that the brand that only produced customized suits for men? Wasn't it rumored that they only accept requests from their platinum members and every clothes they create are worth several 0's?

Ran Xueyi smiled silently. The suit Song Yu Han was wearing that night was something she bought for him a few months ago. Song Yu Han didn't have any parties or suitable occasion to wear it hence, he hadn't taken them out of his closet. However, it seems that he had thought of wearing them during the Night Gala.

Though it was excessive, she was still proud of her masterpiece. Like this, she could sneakily tell the world that Song Yu Han wore the things she bought for him.

The party continued. Ran Xueyi, herself, drank a few glasses of wine and thus, there will always be an urge to relieve oneself. She excused herself to Song Yu Han, who looked at her with an expression of going with her, but she silently refused his gesture with her eyes.

After relieving herself in the women's restroom, Ran Xueyi washed her hands on the sink and looked at her reflection on the big mirror against the wall in front of her. She looked stunning. Her hair was curled and left to cascade behind her. Her dress was made from a gold sequence that glittered once light reflected on it. And the cut of the dress fitted all her curves with her shoulders and a bit of her cleavage exposed.

Just as she reapplied lipstick on her lips, she saw a figure entering the public restroom.

It was Tang Jian.

Naturally, Ran Xueyi knew what this young heiress was doing back at the red carpet. What she couldn't understand was why Tang Jian repeatedly thrusted her head against her iron fortress when the two of them didn't even know each other and never met in the past.

Ran Xueyi didn't bother thinking about it and finished retouching her makeup. And just as she was about to leave the place, she heard Tang Jian speak...

"You... How did you meet him?" At her question, Ran Xueyi stopped in her steps and turned around slightly to face her with her eyebrows raised.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Young master Song. How did you meet him? I know he's someone who is too indifferent to allow himself to attend this sort of occasion. How did you get him to come with you?" Tang Jian continued.

Ran Xueyi smiled slightly, "Why do you ask?"

Tang Jian sneered, "He's not from your world. An actress like you can only be a lover or a one-night stand fling. But even with that, he wouldn't even look at you, much less want to attend this place full of people that didn't come from his world are."

Ran Xueyi didn't really want to ruin this lovely night by arguing with this spoiled rotten young miss. But still, she wanted Tang Jian to understand. "Miss Tang doesn't even know me but you're already assuming that I'm doing something wrong. And just like you said, Song Yu Han isn't from 'our' world. What makes you think that anyone can just force, threaten, and blackmail him to come here?"

Suddenly, she stepped closer to Tang Jian and lowered her voice when there were some people passing by the entrance of the restroom. "By the way, I am even more curious about one thing... Miss Tang's behavior tonight smells so much like the fermented vinegar I have in one of the cabinets in my kitchen. Are you alright?"

Being called out like this, Tang Jian didn't expect her to do it.

Ran Xueyi's guts to provoke her, the young miss from the Tang family, surprised her.

"I may not know you personally, but I've seen too many sluts like you. You latch on anyone who smells like money. I don't even need to predict what you're going to do next!" Tang Jian glared at her, upset that she was getting agitated.

Compared to her, the woman in front of her looked too calm as if her words didn't even matter to her. Tang Jian bit her lips.

"And?" Ran Xueyi asked, yawning. "Are you any better than them?"

"What?"

"You stink of jealousy and greed." Ran Xueyi laughed, "Just because I was at the same place as the man you abandoned to pursue your dream, you decided to attack me by spreading untrue and malicious rumors. But in the end, because of that, you annoyed Mr. He, and you ended up feeling more envious because you can't deny that for someone like me, someone who doesn't belong to your world, can move an immovable mountain like Song Yu Han."

Tang Jian paled and wondered how did Ran Xueyi know all of these, but before she could think of a smart response, she heard Ran Xueyi continue, "Instead of worrying about someone like me... Why don't you worry about how to fix that attitude and your own problems? Do you think just because you are the heiress of the Tang family, you can belittle anyone? Do you really believe that because there hasn't been any fun going on in your life, there won't be in the future?"

"Miss Tang should look out for herself as I will do the same." Ran Xueyi lightly touched the spoiled young lady's shoulder as if dusting off the dirt before she turned around and left.

Ran Xueyi naturally hadn't forgotten the accounts that weren't settled between her and Tang Jian. For her to use Ran Xueyi to strike against her former fiance and spread rumors of her being mistress to someone that was not her husband, Ran Xueyi won't be so lenient as to let it go.

When she turned into a corner with no one around, an arm suddenly shot out and wrapped her waist. The scent of musk and mint wafted into her senses. Ran Xueyi turned around to face who it was.

"You were gone for a long time," Song Yu Han's deep voice sounded.

Ran Xueyi shrugged, "Who told you to be so handsome and powerful? Everyone is envious of me and telling me that we don't come from the same world. They even found me and stopped me in the restroom."

Song Yu Han looked down to stare at her eyes. "Who said it?"

"Tang Jian..." Ran Xueyi didn't keep it from him. She was feeling slightly upset even though she already told herself not to bother with what Tang Jian said to her earlier in the restroom.

To be honest, she knew that besides their feelings towards each other and their marriage, there was nothing that she could offer to Song Yu Han. The two lived in two different worlds albeit slightly closer.

He was outstanding. And she was lacking. That is why she wanted to climb higher in the entertainment industry until no one could reach her. In this way, nobody would ever doubt her and Song Yu Han. No one would look down on her and her son, and no one would ever think of her hugging anyone's thigh to rise to a higher status.

Like Song Yu Han, she couldn't wait to the day where she could proudly tell the world they're married.

"The Tang family seems to have not educated their daughter that well. I will make sure that no one in their family will ever speak to you like that again." Song Yu Han's eyes turned cold and unfathomable. Dangerous aura seeped out of him as if he was ready to go in the front lines for battle.

When he noticed her looking up at him in silence, obediently listening to him, his gaze softened. He stroked her cheeks with calloused hands and told her, "Don't listen to them. They're talking nonsense because you're so perfect that nobody dared to ignore you. And you're just perfect for me."

"Can you kiss me?" Ran Xueyi suddenly requested.

Song Yu Han looked somewhat surprised. He looked around them, vigilantly, before saying, "Here?"

When she gave him a nod, Song Yu Han didn't hesitate and caught her lips between his. It was a gentle but also intense kiss. It even made the ambiguous air around them become more pronounced when they thought of being caught by someone.

The two continued kissing when they left the party without telling anyone. But because they couldn't wait to ease the fire within themselves, they ended up being trapped within the walls of the car.

Adelle had long left them alone after seeing the couple's passionate gazes they sent at each other. She called Guo Yun, who took care of the necessary things to keep Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han undisturbed.
