32 Evening Gown

'With a smile

Gu Yechen said

”Do I need a reason to support my future wife in her career?”'

'In a blink of an eye

he was gone.'

'He Xinyan froze in the middle of the room as she stared at the empty balcony. After a while

she walked over and closed the door.'

''Future wife?' He Xinyan raised one eyebrow. What did he mean? Was he planning on marrying her? But this relationship was fake. . .'

'This thought bothered He Xinyan the entire day and she decided to ask Gu Yechen about it when he came and picked her up that evening for the party.'

'At 4:30

He Xinyan began preparing for the party. She knew that the people going to the party tonight would all be prominent and powerful people in the country

and as Gu Yechen's partner

she had to present herself well.'

'She looked at her empty closet and sighed. Because she was young

she rarely went to parties and gatherings with her father

so she didn't have many evening gowns.'

'The only one she had from a long time ago was a little too small for her now

and it stopped at her ankles.'

''Uh oh. . .' He Xinyan thought. There wasn't enough time to order a customized gown now

and if she wore a ready-made dress

it would definitely lose face for Gu Yechen.'

'Even for the parties Bai Jiawei went to

He Xinyan knew that the females there all wore specially customized gowns. But this party was at a whole different level. . . A party that Gu Yechen would personally go to. He Xinyan could only imagine how exclusive this evening party was.'

'He Xinyan slumped into the chair and sighed. She had no upper class friends

and she didn't want to go borrow a dress from Li Yuyan. Plus

Li Yuyan probably wouldn't agree anyway.'

'Just as He Xinyan was about to call Gu Yechen

there was a knock at the door. The balcony door.'

'He Xinyan turned to look at who it was and saw the man at the audition

secretary Jin.'

'She hurriedly opened the door and looked at Jin Yu

”Hello

secretary Jin. What are you doing here?”'

'Secretary Jin still maintained his cold expression as he held up a black box

”Mr. Gu told me to give this to you.”'

'He Xinyan grabbed the box and realized that it was pretty heavy

”How did you get up here?”'

'Without replying

Jin Yu walked over to the railing and flipped his legs over. Almost like a lizard

he climbed down the building and onto the ground.'

'He Xinyan watched with her eyes wide open. Did everyone in the Gu Corporation need to have the talent of climbing walls?'

'He Xinyan took one more look at the box and didn't see any words written on it. She walked back into her room and placed the box onto the table.'

'The lid of the box was magnetic

and after opening it

she saw a word on the bottom of the lid.'

'The word 'Hepix' was embroidered in gold and it was fancy but also elegant. He Xinyan immediately recognized the word to be the brand name and her mouth fell open in shock.'

'Hepix was the most expensive luxury brand all over the world and it originated in Country W. The brand only produced three hundred pieces of clothing and a hundred pieces of jewelry each year

and it was extremely hard to order something from this brand.'

'Most of the clothing and jewelry went to the royal family in Country W

which only made it even harder for people to get their hands on this luxury brand.'

'Plus

even if you were lucky enough to obtain an ordering spot

it was unlikely you were rich enough. Every single item from Hepix was worth millions of dollars

and even if you were to buy a hat

it would be around a million dollars.'

'Although the products were truly very beautiful

few people had the money or power to buy it. So why did Gu Yechen have it?'
