Chapter 1436 - Someone Elses Date (1/2)
Jun Xiqing was very happy.
Her brother’s health was nearly recovered. After she settled her scores with the necessary people at the party, she could return to Jiu You with her brother.
After all, the spell on her had yet to be broken.
Although she couldn’t find Yuan Ming, Dongfang Wanqing would be there. Finally, she would be able to leave it all behind.
…
The birthday party.
Under the dazzling lights, members of the upper-class mingled and chatted gaily.
Mu Yanyan was dressed in a white chiffon gown, wrapped around her body in such a way that she looked even more lovely and alluring than usual. Her exceptional beauty set her apart from the rest of the crowd.
All the men’s eyes were on her. A bunch of socialites surrounded her like adoring fans.
“My goodness, Yanyan, are you wearing a custom-made dress by Angel? It’s so beautiful.”
“Yanyan, how did you do it? Some time ago, I had to call in a favor just to speak with Angel’s assistant, to get Angel to make a custom-made gown for me. I was willing to fork out a high price, but was rejected.”
“Angel is so mysterious. Yanyan, you are just too amazing.”
Upon hearing the flattering words, Mu Yanyan was feeling ecstatic. She stole a peek at Lu Yeming, who was wearing a black tuxedo and standing erect under the dazzling lights.
He was standing with Feng Sinan, the two of them deep in discussion. One of them was the epitome of authority, while the other possessed extreme wealth. It was like the two men had absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and was radiating with power and energy.
Mu Yanyan covered her lips bashfully. “This gown is indeed custom made by Angel, but I am not that capable as to be able to request this of her. This was a gift from Brother Yeming.”
Several socialites gasped, their faces filled with envy. “Yanyan, you are going to be Empress soon then.”
“Aiya, don’t say such things.” Mu Yanyan blushed.
Meanwhile, Lu Yeming and Feng Sinan stood together. Feng Sinan had a glass of red wine in hand and took an elegant sip. “Yeming, I heard that you went to visit Ah Yu some days ago. How is he?”
Lu Yeming gave a small impassive smile. “Why? Do you still hanker after the brotherly love between you two?”
Feng Sinan looked at Lu Yeming. “Yes, I was recalling the good old days drinking with Ah Yu. It was a happy time.”
“Ha.” Lu Yeming chuckled. “He does not think the same. After all, it was me, you and the Mu Family who ganged up against him six years ago and sent him in. Now, we have all attained high places in the world, while he has lost everything.”
Feng Sinan smiled. “Ah Yu appears willful and reckless but is actually more pure and kind than you and me. That powerful fiend holds a devoted heart. It was also because of that that she… fell in love with Ah Yu.”
She…
At the mention of that ‘she’, Lu Yeming didn’t say another word.
Just then, there was a commotion at the side. Someone exclaimed. “Look! Young Master Mu has arrived!”
“Wow! Who is that young lady with Young Master Mu? My goodness, she’s gorgeous!”
“I think it’s… Jun Xiqing!”
Jun Xiqing…
Lu Yeming immediately lifted his eyes to see the doors being pushed open. Two figures walked in.
Mu Yanfeng was wearing a black shirt and black pants, looking every bit the dashing prince. When Lu Yeming’s eyes shifted to Jun Xiqing standing beside him, his deep eyes instantly narrowed.
Jun Xiqing was wearing that pale blue gown by Angel, which revealed her right shoulder. The sight of that fair, tender flesh was dazzling. She had braided back her fringe and was wearing a veil across her face, leaving only those bright, lively eyes of hers exposed. Her irresistible radiance made one feel like ripping off that mysterious veil.
Angel was an indisputable trend leader. She was extremely in tune with the times and knew Jun Xiqing’s flair and character very well. It was clear she had made this dress, especially for Jun Xiqing.
Very quickly, silence descended across the entire arena. Everyone was mesmerized by Jun Xiqing, nearly forgetting to breathe.
