Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Yichen’s mind cleared as he remembered the evening’s banquet plans.

After a moment’s thought, he responded, “I’ll be downstairs by 7.30 pm.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.” Bai Lu sounded pleased.

Xiao Yichen ended the call, noticing it was nearly 6.30 pm.

He tossed his phone aside, propping himself up with a hand against his dizzy head. He then rose to head upstairs, preparing to freshen up and change.

By 7.30 pm, Xiao Yichen arrived at Bai Lu’s apartment.

Bai Lu, clad in a sleek black dress, greeted him sweetly. His mind briefly flickered with thoughts of another woman whose figure surpassed Bai Lu’s, always elegantly displayed.

“Is this outfit appropriate for tonight, Yichen?” Bai Lu inquired sweetly.

“It’s a banquet. No particular requirements,” Xiao Yichen replied, starting the car to depart.

Bai Lu sensed the implication behind Xiao Yichen’s response. No matter what she wore, it seemed acceptable.

The evening’s event hosted by the prestigious Nangong family attracted various VIPs. As they arrived, Xiao Yichen and Bai Lu encountered Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan.

“Over here, Yichen.” Luo Ziyan signaled.

Xiao Yichen acknowledged Ziyan and approached, disregarding Bai Lu by his side.

Bai Lu hastened to keep up with him, maintaining a poised and elegant demeanor despite the surrounding attention.

“When did you arrive?” Xiao Yichen inquired upon reaching Luo Ziyan.

“I just got here,” Luo Zishen responded, paying no attention to Bai Lu.

Luo Ziyan refrained from acknowledging Bai Lu, holding Lin Wan in higher regard than anyone else.

In his heart, only Lin Wan could catch his eye. Bai Lu… wasn’t qualified yet.

“Hello, Mr. Luo, Second Young Master Luo,” Bai Lu politely greeted them, her smile unwavering.

Luo Ziyan remained indifferent, disregarding her entirely.

Luo Zishen, understanding Luo Ziyan’s temperament, replied with a brief acknowledgement, aiming to avoid any discomfort for Bai Lu.

“Mm…” Luo Zishen replied. He just didn’t want Bai Lu to feel awkward.

Bai Lu smiled and didn’t say anything else. She knew that on such an occasion, especially in front of Xiao Yichen’s two brothers, she couldn’t say much.

Xiao Yichen, with a chilly tone, directed Bai Lu to the lounge. “Go and sit for a while. I’ll find you later.”

“Okay.” Bai Lu nodded, offering a smile to Xiao Yichen before departing.

Upon looking at Bai Lu’s departing figure, Luo Ziyan finally spoke with disdain, “Yichen, don’t bring her next time. My entire mood is ruined when I see her.”

Xiao Yichen didn’t respond, simply taking a glass of red wine and downing it in a single gulp.

Although it was a sudden decision to bring her along, he had thought it wouldn’t matter. Let the people around see for themselves, confirming the daily news reports about himself.

“Ziyan, no matter what, Bai Lu is still Yichen’s friend. Don’t…” Ziyan interrupted Luo Zishen as he was starting.

“Zishen, what kind of friend is she to Yichen? Yichen got to know her because she endorsed Lin Wan’s design in the SU Collection Competition…” Luo Ziyan failed to notice his slip in mentioning Lin Wan, breaking Yichen’s taboo..
