But this year is different.
This year Bao Ye is not only staying in Beijing for New Year’s, he’s spending it with her.
Bao Ye promised her he would attend the annual eting and accompany her to ring in the new year.
Moreover, after the event, he would accompany her to the tallest building in Beijing to watch the fireworks.
Having been together for over three years, this is the happiest year Jiang Ruan has had—an unprecedented happiness.
It feels as if she is no longer the only one in this world; he is by her side.
Holding his hand, even if it’s cold outside, Jiang Ruan’s heart is warm.
So, her mood has been great throughout the entire New Year period.
She wears a smile on her face every day.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the annual eting arrives.
After all, it’s a prestigious event in Beijing, attended by prominent figures from various industries.
Naturally, Jiang Ruan can’t dress too simply.
Sister Qin recomnded a pile of haute couture dresses from various brands for her before the event, ranging from pure and charming to infinitely luxurious styles.
In the end, Jiang Ruan chose a deep blue fishtail gown. With her great figure, the fishtail accentuated her purity with a hint of femininity.
Standing in front of the mirror, assistants are busy tidying her gown.
Jiang Ruan looks at herself in the mirror, with her hair styled up and wearing a sapphire tiara, elegant yet still graceful, and her red lips curved into a smile.
"Sister Jiang Ruan, this dress is simply made for you."
"Yes, indeed. It’s so beautiful."
"And your skin is so fair; you don’t even need anything to make it especially pale—it’s like snow-white skin."
"Exactly, exactly."
Praised and flattered by them, she feels like she has turned into a fairy.
Jiang Ruan blushes, jokingly responding, "Keep praising like this, and I’ll ascend to heaven and fly away."
Everyone laughs heartily.
After two hours of fussing.
Jiang Ruan’s waist aches, but her look for the night is finally completed.
Sister Qin enters the room from outside, "How is it, darling, are you all done?"
"In half an hour, we’ll be leaving."
Makeup assistant: "It’s done, Sister Qin."
Sister Qin moves to the dressing mirror, her eyes light up instantly upon seeing Jiang Ruan’s appearance.
Her eyes are filled with astonishnt, "Beautiful! Darling, this dress especially suits you!"
Deep blue fishtail adorned with diamonds.
Extrely luxurious and vibrant.
And this color just complents Jiang Ruan!
Sister Qin praises generously, "Tonight, you’ll surely stand out among everyone!"
And indeed, that turns out to be the case.
Since the mont Jiang Ruan steps out onto the red carpet, the crowd’s cheers haven’t stopped.
It’s only after she signs her na and enters the hotel.
That the sound fades behind her.
The hotel is luxurious, everyone ticulously dressed, handso and beautiful ladies and gentlen.
Jiang Ruan greets a few acquaintances.
And has a bit of red wine.
Finally, the banquet begins.
With a "swish", the lights shine on the stage.
"Ladies and gentlen, welco to our banquet venue."
The host holds the microphone, rambling for quite a while.
Then moves to the the, "Today’s first activity."
"It’s our opening dance."
"But this year’s opening dance is not the sa as before; today we have a mysterious guest joining us. Any guesses who it might be?"
The host smiles, "Here’s a hint, he’s the golden man with both looks and strength in all of Beijing, renowned on the list, and currently still single."
Amid such remarks, various guesses circulate among the crowd.
"Who is it?"
"A golden man, with looks and strength."
Soone jokes, "Aren’t all the n present here handso and strong?"
Everyone bursts into laughter.
