Standing there with Mu Feichi, Yun Xi glanced surreptitiously at the sour-faced Qi Siyu, who seed to also be looking at her. Qi Siyu’s elegant face looked so awkward as she tried to restrain herself that it looked sowhat twisted and disturbing.
This was the first ti that Yun Xi had seen the glamorous and dignified Pri Minister’s daughter lose her composure. Although it only lasted for a brief mont, it had been more than enough to surprise her. After all, controlling her emotions should co as naturally as breathing to a socialite like Qi Siyu. If it had been her seeing the man she loved showing up with another woman, Yun Xi certainly would not have been able to control her emotions as well as these socialites were supposed to.
However, Yun Xi was still sensible enough not to do anything to provoke Qi Siyu. Although it was inevitable that she would have to co face to face with her one day, she would never do sothing so foolish here. Regardless of whether she had the right to show off, behaving in that manner would have simply been too childish.
Seeming to have noticed her nervousness, Mu Feichi turned to look at her and asked in a hushed tone, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” As Yun Xi turned, she unconsciously glanced toward Commander Mu, who was sitting in a corner, next to a bonsai by the farthest window. As she looked over toward him, she swept her eyes across the crowd, taking a ntal note of the guests present.
“It just suddenly occurred to that since you’ve acted without Commander Mu’s consent, will he want to break your legs for this?”
“What do you think?” Mu Feichi laughed softly and his thin lips curled into a subtle smirk, his charming face unable to conceal the smugness he felt while taking pleasure and comfort in the fact that his lover was in his arms.
“I don’t know, but if he really does try to hit you later, just hide behind . Let him beat instead, then I’m sure he’ll calm down imdiately.”
“Okay!” Mu Feichi readily responded to her ridiculous idea with a serious look on his face as if he really thought that she ant it.
Qi Siyu, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, turned and regarded the two people standing beside her with a look of utter disbelief. The way that they seed so in sync with one another, no outsider would ever be able to get between them. Looking at them, they were practically displaying their love for all to see.
She unconsciously glanced over at Yun Xi. If it had been up to her to answer his question, she would have only thought of explaining the situation to Commander Mu, instead of offering herself to be beaten as a way of diating the issue.
There it was, as clear as day, the difference between her and this little girl...
All her thods were based on the nurtured behavior and wisdom of a sophisticated lady. She did not operate by Yun Xi’s straightforward and carefree ways.
So, it seed as though Mu Feichi was attracted to this kind of woman. There had been a ti when she was once as young and innocent as Yun Xi. However, after becoming a first-class socialite, she had had to learn to restrain herself in everything she did.
Now that this girl had beco a first-class socialite, and if she too beca what Qi Siyu was now, would Mu Feichi still love her in the sa way?
Just as she was becoming truly lost in her train of thoughts, Qi Fengzhou’s voice suddenly rang out, “Fellow guests and dear friends, thank you for attending tonight’s socialite ball. I am Qi Fengzhou, the host of this year’s ball..”
Listening to Qi Fengzhou speaking on the stage, droning on with pleasantries in his welcoming speech, everyone began to lose interest. Then, all of sudden, at the re ntion of Mu Feichi, he had attracted everyone’s attention back on him again.
“We are not only gathered here today to celebrate our socialites, but it is also the coming-of-age ceremony of this year’s 18-year-old first-class socialite. What a joy it is to have two happy events coming together. Let us invite the Young Commander Mu, Mu Feichi, on stage. I hear he has so good news to share with all of you. Before the banquet begins, let’s welco Young Commander Mu to co on stage and share a few words.”
Mu Feichi making such a grand entrance with the first-class socialite in tow had been enough to spark everyone’s curiosity and leave the crowd asking a million questions. And now, he wanted to share a piece of good news? Was he perhaps about to confirm what was on everyone’s minds?
