Pujing City was never short of charity galas, but none could quite live up to the glitz of The Sundance Ball: an annual affair organized by Children’s Hope charity. Every year, 100% of the funds donated towards the charity would go towards improving the lives of children across the world.
It was a flagship event endorsed by celebrities and captains of the industry. The attire was strictly formal – long gowns for women, black suits and ties for the men.
· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·
All the VIP guests were busy socializing inside a banquet hall, lined by grand columns; the walls were painted gold, and above their heads, majestic chandeliers hanged from the high ceilings.
The women’s knees wobbled. Good lord, it was him. The first billionaire star, the most eligible bachelor in the world, the sexiest man alive, along with a multitude of other titles.
Li Jie greeted a few of his acquaintances with a relaxed smile. He knew that besides him, there were others who didn’t lose to him in any way; they hid from the public eye and were well known by only a certain part of the society.
.....
The people all glanced one way and whispered to each other when a breathtaking pair appeared. One gorgeous female and her handsome male partner. The lady was wearing a light purple backless dress that enhanced the outline of her slender body. Her delicate hand rested on the man’s arm as she walked ahead gracefully. Together, they looked ethereal.
The crowd immediately recognized the man, but not the woman. Was she a rising model or an actress? The ladies which were present were envious of her beauty; instinctively, they had an urge to ruin that face. That woman was wearing a dress from the most famous designer in the world.
Nobody had ever successfully bought a piece from him. It was something one couldn’t buy with money as that legendary designer worked exclusively for Mo Luwei. They could only marvel at the dresses from the fashion magazines or shows.
Su Min maintained her elegant expression to match her Queen-like image. This expression was one she used to wear in the past as the young miss of Su’s family.
After Mo Luwei lost control of the ML’s entertainment and news, he disappeared from the public eye. Everyone thought that he would never recover, but this was a mistake. As a self-made man, he only grew further in power as he extended his scope of interest from his tech company into politics and the military.
The injuries Xuan Mu inflicted on him healed up completely. The crowd parted as they gaped at the beautiful sight of the Queen and the King. They looked like a match made in heaven.
Despite that, some single women still felt that if the old Su Min could seduce him, so could they. Among them was Su Luqin who was released from prison. Under a disguise, she wasted no time in approaching the pair, when suddenly, there was an uproar from behind.
Turning around, a woman as beautiful as a goddess appeared by a man’s side. They looked like deities and gods found in the Eastern fantasy novels, ethereal like they were from another realm.
Mo Luwei couldn’t help but be a little entranced too. She had an extremely beautiful face, a perfect combination of Eastern and Western features. Her high bridged nose and big doe eyes matched her small face perfectly. She had kissable cherry lips that every man would want to have a taste of. Her skin was smooth like the rarest porcelain.
All she had to do was stand here, do nothing, and people would be unable to pull their gazes away. The sky blue, off-shoulder dress enhanced the outline of her perfect body. She let her long, naturally wavy hair fall freely over her snow-white shoulder, making her look sexy yet elegant.
Goodness, and the man by her side was sinfully gorgeous. His features had to be sculpted by a master artist. With those high cheekbones, straight nose, tousled black hair, and those magnificent eyes, he could be a fallen angel, one would almost expect gilded wings to unfurl behind him.
Cold. Heartless. Ruthless. This new tycoon was believed to be the youngest, most powerful man in the whole country. Quin Yu’s aura was intimidating and terrifying, him being called Satan wasn’t for nothing at all.
Su Min’s expression withered when she saw Mo Luwei’s eyes on another woman. Did Aoi Hong always look this beautiful?
“Good evening young master Quin.”
“Good evening young master Li.”
“Good evening chairman Mo.”
Everyone eyed for partnership with these men, whose potential was limitless. Especially young master Quin. There was a good chance one was using something that had to do with his family; be it food, entertainment, or appliances – even if it didn’t have his family name on it. Why? His family owned so much. There were rumors that they even took part in arms dealing, and other illegal stuff.
“Mr. Li, are you waiting for someone?” Asked a man when he noticed Li Jie’s eyes constantly wandering around. Mo Luwei yearned to get his company back, but Li Jie’s standing as a CEO was many times stronger.
Excusing himself, Li Jie took a glass of champagne from the waitress, continuing to check the entrance. After a short while, here she was, appearing alone again. Nobody seemed to notice her entrance. Everyone’s focus was on the hottest pair in the gala.
The floor-length, satin royal green gown, featuring an a-line silhouette, high neck, with bold puffy long sleeves, had to be inspired by 19th-century fashion. Her hair was tied up into a cute halo braid, while a glittering tiara atop her head shifted the attention from her body and face.
She couldn’t completely hide what the low immune system caused upon her physique; her pale skin could be compared to the silk of white rose petals.
But she didn’t seem to mind; she appeared to be comfortable in her own skin; everything played upon her eyes and lips when she saw her reflection in the mirrors that hung on the walls, she had to like her dignified look very much.
Her presence was very subtle, like a fragrance of a dreamscape meadow. She walked as if she and the surrounding had come to an understanding as if the concrete was more than willing to rise in support of her soles.
She was a beauty too, but who in here had not seen such a beauty like this? The market was oversaturated with Silika Lin. She didn’t shine from the inside out and no man present eagerly lost himself in her beguiling smiles or melancholy stares like they did in Aoi Hong’s presence.
It was very hard to believe. She was currently the most popular and most gossiped celebrity, and yet, if he didn’t know she would come, he wouldn’t have noticed her either.
Of course, he wouldn’t. Bing Shi worked hard to make her presence invisible, while still keeping her identity. Her hubby did some crazy things; she asked him to help her with the finals, and that man scored 100% on every exam, graduated early, and leaked it to the public...
Now, everyone had her for a superhuman genius. And suddenly, nobody questioned why she chose a scientist for a husband! How lovely. Not. The pressure to perform was real.
After she obtained her first award, she wanted an excuse to quit acting, so the moment she felt better, she took over the position as one of the board of directors in ML’s entertainment. She knew a lot more about this sector so it should be fine. It created a pretty big hoax. Where did all her money come from?
Her wealth inside her ring would cause huge inflation in the market if she was to pull it all out at once. She shrouded some of it under a facade of receiving gifts from very generous admirers. The responses she got from the public were various. But it was far better compared to the time she bought that gorgeous couture dress. Strange. How a few thousands could trigger someone more than a few millions.
