Although Wen Xinya and Xia Ruya had fallen out with each other, they were both intelligent people who knew not to let the cat out of the bag during the gala. Hence, they remained composed and pretended to be at ease with each other.

Xia Ruya glanced at Wen Xinya and said smilingly, “Xinya, you’re really beautiful today.”

Staring at the set of black agate jewelry that greatly complemented Wen Xinya, Xia Ruya could not help but be reminded of the set of black jade jewelry that she had intended to pair with her white gown, but ended up realizing that they looked dull on her because of her skin that had gotten darker after two arduous years in Yun Chuan.

Wen Xinya smiled calmly and asked, “Is that so?”

Although Xia Ruya only meant it as a casual compliment, she began scrutinizing Wen Xinya after hearing the latter’s rhetorical response. She answered, “The color of your gown suits you very well. Gray symbolizes prestige and elegance and the black agate jewelry complements your fair skin as well. You look absolutely stunning.”

There was a tinge of mockery in what seemed to be a compliment on the surface. It was as if she was trying to say that Wen Xinya had to dress in the prestigious colors gray and silver in order to bring attention to herself.

Wen Xinya scanned her surroundings and said, “You’re very beautiful tonight too. Although there are many other ladies here who are also dressed in blue gowns, none of them can carry the color off as well as you do. The color of your gown has made up for the dullness of your skin and made you look elegant and pretty.”

“Is… is that so?” Wen Xinya’s words had compelled Xia Ruya to look around the banquet hall, only to discover that there were indeed several others who were dressed in blue gowns. To make matters worse, there was even a lady who was coincidentally dressed in the same gown as her, thus making her feel awkward and embarrassed about the clashing of outfits.

Noticing the sullen expression on her face, Wen Xinya smiled and said, “The designs of your gowns are actually different—hers aren’t as posh or elegant as yours. Don’t worry about it.”

Xia Ruya managed to force a smile. She could not stop herself from taking another look at the rest of the guests, only to discover that the set of diamonds she had meticulously picked out seemed to pale in comparison to others and appeared extremely ordinary and dull even though they were extremely expensive.

Most of the guests had opted for diamond jewelry. Yet, no one was dressed in an outfit that was similar to Wen Xinya’s.

Well, it was understandable since gray and silver were colors that were tough to carry and most women were afraid to take the risk. Meanwhile, jade went well with elegance and most people couldn’t pull off jade jewelry, and some may even end up embarrassing themselves.

Seeing the mysterious yet elegant aura that Wen Xinya was exuding, Xia Ruya could not help but find that her gown was much more inferior and lowly compared to Wen Xinya’s, so were her expensive diamonds which seemed cheap next to Wen Xinya’s black agate.

At this moment, Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “I initially thought that you two were merely dressed in the same color. I didn’t expect that the design of her gown would be the exact same as yours.”

Greatly taken aback, Xia Ruya looked in the direction that Wen Xinya was staring at, only to realize that the lady’s gown was closely similar to hers. She had failed to see the identicalness earlier on because her beau had blocked Xia Ruya’s view.

Wen Xinya then gasped in shock and stared at the lady in disbelief. “Ruya, hurry and take a look at that lady. Isn’t she Sun Xiaorou, that actress who shot to fame by selling her body and appearing in adult films?”

Flabbergasted, Xia Ruya stared at the woman who was standing at a short distance away. She looked extremely sultry and had thick makeup on her face, giving off the vibes of a hussy.

Sun Xiaorou!

That adult film actress who has a bad reputation in the circle.

She had joined the entertainment industry after starring in an erotic film.

Later on, she even rose to fame because of her sultry beauty and her voluptuous body.
