“What did he tell you?”
Li An’an asked, “Who’s the host of tonight’s banquet?”
“It’s Chu Yichen’s birthday party, but it might also be an engagement party.”
Li An’an’s heart sank. She took a deep breath and no longer looked at Fu Yiheng. Her heart felt heavy.
Fu Yiheng walked closer to her and continued, “I don’t think it’s a marriage between wealthy families. He’ll probably choose Liang Qian. Liang Qian was late with him in the afternoon.
Each blow was bigger than the last. Li An’an felt like a clown.
Fu Yiheng lowered his eyes. “I don’t know what exactly the situation is, but that’s what the rumors say. An’an, I don’t know what happened between you and Chu Yichen before this, but he’s not suitable for you.”
Li An’an opened her mouth to speak, but realized that she couldn’t say anything.
Fu Yiheng didn’t force her and silently accompanied her in the evening breeze.
In the corridor, Yang Xia was knocking on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one answered. Suddenly, she was frightened. Li An’an had stood her up. How was she going to explain to CEO Long? She hurriedly went to look for the woman.
When she passed by Liang Qian’s room, she saw a service staff entering the room, carrying a gift box.
“A dress from CEO Chu?” Liang Qian’s voice, filled with surprise, came from the room.
Yang Xia could not help but come to a halt.
The service staff smiled. “Yes, Miss Liang. CEO Chu has specially asked me to send this gift to you.” He put down the box and left in a hurry.
Liang Qian untied the red ribbon and opened the box. A cream-colored long dress that sparkled with starlight appeared before everyone.
“Ah, how beautiful, Miss Liang. CEO Chu really likes you!” In the room, the makeup artist and assistant sighed.
Liang Qian’s gloomy expression turned into one of pleasant surprise. So CEO Chu had her in his heart!
She picked up the dress and hugged it in her arms, her eyes filled with certainty. She believed that she would definitely be the most stunning woman in the entire venue tonight.
Yang Xia shook her head and clicked her tongue twice before walking away.
Liang Qian was lucky to have caught CEO Chu’s eye. It was really enviable. CEO Chu was a man with heaven-defying looks, wealth, and power! However, knowing that CEO Long would penalize her for sure if Li An’an were to be missing from the event, she made it her top priority to locate Li An’an now.
She found Li An’an on the deck, enjoying the breeze alone. Before she could speak and ask Li An’an to attend the banquet, the latter spoke.
“Find me a dress.”
Yang Xia immediately agreed. “That’s right. It’s good to know more people.” Although it was last-minute and the dress might not look good, it was fine as long as Li An’an was willing to go. It didn’t matter what kind of gown she wore. After all, beautiful women looked good in anything. However, she could not help but grumble along the way.
“CEO Chu gave Liang Qian a dress worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, for her to wear to the banquet. Damn, that dress is too beautiful. I heard that it’s a new design by a certain brand designer and it has yet to be released . CEO Chu must have spent a lot of money.”
Li An’an’s expression turned even uglier.
Yang Xia felt that she had said something wrong and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. “Actually, don’t be too sad. CEO Long probably doesn’t know that you didn’t bring a gown. If he had known, he’d definitely have prepared it for
you.”
Li An’an couldn’t be bothered to explain that there was nothing going on between her and Long Ting.
After returning to her room, Li An’an sat in front of the mirror and started to put on makeup. As she had been a car model before, she had decent makeup skills. Furthermore, she didn’t need to tidy up her hair. This was good too. Now, all she needed was a gown.
Soon, Yang Xia approached with a troubled expression. “An’an, I’ve only managed to borrow a black evening gown.” Black. Such a grand banquet and this color only made her feel despair.
“An’an, don’t worry, I almost forgot, we need to wear masks..”
