36 Excuse (2/2)

”I already made up an excuse as to why you are here.” he added with a soft smile on his lips.

My heart suddenly palpitated. It's happening again, am I sick? Why does this happen every time he smile at me like that? I'm supposed to be immune with his charms.

I stared at him intently, he only winked at me and continued ”I said that Mr. Yuan have an important matter to discuss with you and me but unfortunately I can't make it in time because I was in a meeting with the student council. So you ended up coming here alone.” he calmly said.

He then moved his gaze towards Neo and said ”If I recall correctly, the Yuan family will be hosting a charity ball next month. Am I correct Mr. Yuan?”

”En.” Neo slightly nodded his head, not saying another word.

Vincent then reached into his coat's inner pocket and produced 2 red envelopes. I can clearly see the Yuan family's seal embedded on the envelopes. I furrowed my brows, how did Vincent get those? It even have our names printed elegantly on the papers smooth surface.

Every year the Yuan family host a charity ball, invitations are usually sent a month before the event. The Gu and Tan family are of course invited but the invitation is usually addressed to the head of the house. Other family members can come along as long as the family head approve of it.

I don't usually attend such events, first because I'm lazy and second because I am only an adoptive daughter in everyone's eyes.

So how could Vincent get those invitations?? He being invited is not a problem but me being invited to personally attend the banquet is weird.

”I see, second young master Gu is indeed crafty. Alright we will stick to your plans.” Neo said with an indifferent tone.

My body stiffened when I heard him add ”It's also good to meet the family.” He said it in a nonchalant way like it's only a passing comment, nothing extraordinary.
