Chen Yu asked, “Is there anything you’re having trouble figuring out? Tell me, maybe I can help.”

Xia Yangyang shook her head, “You can’t help me.”

Chen Yu said, “Little Miss, I didn’t bring you along to be in such low spirits, let’s go. Countess Alexander is hosting a masquerade ball in the banquet hall today, shall we join in the fun?”

Xia Yangyang replied reluctantly, “You go, I don’t want to.”

Chen Yu insisted on pulling Xia Yangyang up.

When he opened Xia Yangyang’s suitcase, he strangely couldn’t find a single dress, not even a pair of high heels.

Chen Yu looked at Xia Yangyang in disbelief, “Little Miss, are you even a woman?”

Chen Yu frowned, stroking his chin, “Wait here, luckily I know someone. I’ll go borrow a dress for you.”

Before Xia Yangyang could stop him, Chen Yu had already left the room.

However, it wasn’t long before Chen Yu returned, holding a short black dress and a pair of white crystal high heels.

Xia Yangyang was taken aback, “Who did you borrow this outfit from?”

“Don’t worry about who I borrowed it from. If I told you, I’m afraid you wouldn’t dare to wear it. Give it a try, you are about the same size as them, it should fit well.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t really want to attend the mysterious masquerade ball, but could not resist Chen Yu’s persistent pleading.

In the end, she reluctantly put on the short skirt and high heels.

The dress was exquisite and elegantly simple. It perfectly wrapped around Xia Yangyang’s figure, making her look charmingly statuesque. The black color was mysterious and enticing, but the slightly sheer hem echoed a hint of playfulness.

When Chen Yu saw Xia Yangyang coming out of the fitting room, his eyes lit up, “Little Miss, you’re going to kill countless film rolls today. It would be even better with a bit of makeup.”

Xia Yangyang said, “Isn’t it a masquerade ball? Once we put on masks, no one will recognize anyone. What’s the point of makeup?”

Chen Yu laughed, “Well, your natural beauty is also good enough. If you don’t want to do your makeup, then simply don’t.”

The ball was being held in the hotel’s top-floor ballroom. The Countess invited all the hotel’s VIP guests.

Due to her revered status, many people were willing to show their respect.

Before entering, everyone could choose a masquerade mask, but of course, one could also choose not to wear one.

Xia Yangyang chose a black full-face mask, which completely covered her face.

Chen Yu casually picked up a prince’s mask.

Once Xia Yangyang was inside, she put on her mask. Although she was just a little pawn, the man by her side definitely wasn’t.

Chen Yu had mentioned before that many reporters had slipped into Lake Bay. Xia Yangyang felt it was better to be careful.

The banquet hall was filled with beautiful women and men, all engaging in cheerful banter.

There are Champagne towers made up from sparkling glasses everywhere. The air was permeated with the sweet scent of fruity wine.

The guests gathered in small groups, holding wine glasses, and chatting away.

From afar, Xia Yangyang spotted Shen Manbing.

Shen Manbing was wearing a full-length white dress encrusted with dazzling diamonds. Her long and wavy hair, meticulous makeup, she really looked like a Snow Queen out of a fairytale.

She didn’t wear a mask, just like Chen Yu, simply holding it in her hand.

And the man standing beside her, talking with her…

It was Gu Qichen!

Xia Yangyang had had a twitching eyelid the whole day, which was really annoying her.

But when she saw Gu Qichen’s face, her eyelid suddenly stopped twitching.

It felt as though something heavy sunk deep inside her heart, weighing her down.

Gu Qichen said he had to go on a business trip, turns out he came on a vacation with Shen Manbing….
