C15 (2/2)
When he took out the high heels he had chosen, he went to change his clothes. I adjusted my clothes in the cloakroom and began to recall some of the usual steps. Although I'm not going to dance at the ball, just in case.
Seeing that Jiang Yu still hadn't come out, I opened the paper bag that Little Tang gave me. Inside were four dark gray velvet boxes. Inside was a complete set of jewelry, from earrings to bracelets. It was all written by Italian designer Alyton, who is renowned around the world.
After I was done, I took out a newly bought handbag and packed the items that I brought with me. After everything was done, Jiang Yu also changed his clothes.
It was rare to see him dressed so seriously. His well-ironed suit added a trace of charm to his solemnity. He did not bring a tie, but instead some playful striped bow tie.
”Let's go.” Seeing that he had also changed his shoes, I handed him the car keys and left the cloakroom.
When they arrived at the car park, Jiang Yu quickly started up the car and drove towards the venue. On the way, he did not know why, but he did not say a single word.
I was glad he didn't say anything. After all, my attitude toward him hadn't changed from a simple money deal to a true couple.
Today's venue is at the five-star hotel in the center of the city. After driving the car to the entrance of the hotel, a doorman came up to open the door. After Jiang Yu gave him the car key, he pulled me up to the red carpet.
In the face of so many media and camera flash, I feel nothing but the glare. I have seen too many of these occasions and have long been accustomed to them.
After she expressionlessly pulled Jiang Yu into the arena, there were already whispers amongst the media.
”This Ye Qianya is an ice beauty. After taking so many photos, I have never seen her smile before.”
”What's wrong with that? You're a newcomer, so you don't know.” I've filmed so many events and I've never seen her smile! ”
”Hey, have you guys noticed Ye Qianya's date today? I don't think I've seen it before? ”
”There was even someone who caught a picture of this man driving to the company to bring her home. It should be his boyfriend, right?”
”Since when did she have such a handsome boyfriend? Didn't she have a deep relationship with her ex-husband?”
Ignoring their blabbering, I brought Jiang Yu into the arena.
The venue was already filled with people. I was going to find a place to sit down, but I saw a lot of big clients and a couple of companies I worked with, so I went up to say hello.
”I'll go say hello, then come back. If there's nothing else, then just sit here and wait for me.” I took a glass of white wine from the waiter's tray and walked to the center of the room.
”Long time no see, Miss Ye. She's really getting younger and prettier!” Tomorrow's group, Chief Li greeted.
”Director Li is too kind, I hope that I can cooperate more with you in the future.” I pretended to be affectionate.
There was no other way. In such an occasion, he must learn to wear a fake mask. You only need to praise him. After that, everything will be fine. Even I, who don't want to get close to others, had no choice but to submit for the sake of Ye’s.
After a long time of pleasantries, I was relieved and headed for the lounge.
At this moment, the lights in the hall dimmed.
The ball was about to begin.
