Upon hearing Andy’s praise, Huang Xu couldn’t help but cast a glance and curled his lips as he secretly whispered: _“Such a good sweetheart like you truly can make a man happy. I really don’t know how Tang Xiu could have such achievement. Not only he had such awesome abilities, even such a peerless beauty took the initiative to run into his embrace.”_

Shortly after discovering that Andy was accompanying Tang Xiu, Kang Xia came to the A1608 suite. She had met Long Zhengyu before, and even though she didn’t know Huang Xu and Fei Shan, she still plastered a smile on her face as she greeted everyone. Finally, she glanced at the smiling Andy and sat beside her.

“Hey, Boss! It’s really unfair, you know. I’m working hard dealing with the company and you’re actually having fun here?! How about you accompany me to attend the charity auction?” Kang Xia looked at Tang Xiu with a beaming smile.

Tang Xiu shook his head.

Just when he was about to respond, he heard Long Zhengyu speak, “Is this charity auction the one arranged by Yang Weilan? Actually, I was also going to attend it, but since these two friends of mine came, I didn’t prepare myself to go there. Anyways, Fei Shan, Huang Xu, since the two of you have come, why don’t we go to this charity auction? Even though Star City’s auction can’t be compared to your Blue City’s, maybe you can still come across something that interest the both of you.”

Fei Shan and Huang Xu nodded with a smile.

Tang Xiu looked at these people as he finally let out a wry smile and said, “Such being the case, then I’ll also attend it to broaden my knowledge. To tell you the truth, I’ve never had the chance to attend any upper-class charity party before.”

Fei Shan stood up and said with a smile, “Actually, this kind of charity party has two main purposes. The first is the charity auction, which in fact, is supposed to gather donations. The second one is, quite a lot of big names in business society, as well as a lot of scions from major respected and renowned families, will be attending this level of charity party. In itself, the event is also used by the young masters and ladies to get to know each other and have closer exchanges, as it’s best to directly meet the people in the interest of whom they would set their eyes on marriages.”

Tang Xiu suddenly lost his interest upon hearing this. However, since he had already promised, it would be awkward to go back on his word.

“Anyways, you all have a meal first as I gotta change my clothes. Otherwise, people would blast me out of the party if they see me dressed up like this.” Fei Shan said with a laugh.

Ten minutes later…

After everyone had eaten, they waited until Fei Shan returned and then headed together to the hall on the eighteenth floor, where the charity party was being held. Since Kang Xia had the invitation, while a lot of people also knew Long Zhengyu’s status as the Long Family’s young master, nobody stopped their group as they entered the spacious and bright party hall.

The glowing, crystalline lamps illuminated everyone with its soft light as the party hall was already jam-packed with people. There were at least nearly a hundred people that had already arrived inside. Each and every one of the guests was well-dressed and had elegant looks. Even if an ordinary person wanted to imitate such elegance, they would find it very difficult to do so with natural looks.

As their group arrived, they attracted the attention of a lot of people; as they were also approached by a lot of people with beaming smiles whilst carrying a cup of red wine. Although Long Zhengyu was the Star City’s Long Family’s successor and also had quite a reputation in the business society, Kang Xia’s fame was far above his. However, Tang Xiu had told Kang Xia and the others to keep his identity a secret before they entered, so even though Kang Xia greeted all courteously, she didn’t disclose Tang Xiu’s identity.

Taking advantage of this, Tang Xiu, Fei Shan and Huang Xu went over toward the sofa at the side as the three of them then sat down.

“This is almost no different from the soap opera series on TV.”

Tang Xiu commented as he sat down.

Fei Shan and Huang Xu glanced at each other with looks of being at a loss whether to cry or laugh drawn on their faces. Only at this moment did they finally believe that this was Tang Xiu’s first time attending an upper-class charity party.

“Brother Tang, there are a lot of famous young ladies coming tonight. The organizers also invited a lot of actresses and female celebrities. Take a look at that side, that person is a small star who has performed in some TV series. Although she can’t be regarded as even a second-tier actress, however, it’s obvious that someone wants to hook her up, see?” Huang Xu was much very fond of females with sex appeal as his pair of greedy eyes also always cast their sight on the female’s body inside the party hall.

Tang Xiu followed the direction pointed by his finger, but he didn’t recognize the pointed young star who was said to have performed in some TV series. He shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m still at school and have little interest with females’ charm. If you like them, why don’t you hook up some of them? But I politely advise you, though; never look for ones who have male companions, else you’ll be incurring their rage.”

“Brother Tang, I do like beauties, but it’s not like I always straightly hit on the girls the moment I see them, you know. The thing is, when we just met tonight, it was because your girlfriend is way too… too beautiful. I’ve seen innumerable femme fatale beauties, but I gotta admit that not even one of them is at the same level.” With a somewhat embarrassed expression, Huang Xu explained with a wry smile.

Tang Xiu only gave a smile and shook his head.

He had seen a lot of femme fatales before. Even the fairy maiden maidservants he had in his Immortal Palace had an appearance that was on par—or even more beautiful than Andy’s. The one he chose as a partner was mainly because he looked at the person’s cultivation level as well as her character.

Unfortunately, his judgment turned out to be gravely mistaken as he had never thought that the woman he chose betrayed him at the end!

This was precisely the reason as to why Tang Xiu didn’t want to involve himself with too many women. Had he ever had such a sexual drive, he would have just chosen to have sex with women with only mutual consent between him and the said women; albeit he didn’t want to be attached to emotional and sentimental feelings between them. Perhaps… he would find himself a fairly pleasing-to-the-eyes woman for him to marry in the future. But that would be in order to satisfy his mother’s wish of being a grandmother only.

Ten minutes later…

When Tang Xiu felt bored and wanted to leave early, Andy came over while carrying a dessert and sat next to him. Her pair of bright and smart eyes looked at him as she said affectionately, “Boss, take this dessert, it’s the best one I chose for you.”
