Not long after, the doorbell rang. Yuan Sichun smiled and waved at the slender but well-dressed woman.

“Ai Ai, here!”

The woman in the mask walked over and sat beside Qi Mingchu. She took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face.

Then, she looked up and planted a kiss on Qi Mingchu’s face. “Darling, did you miss me?”

The coffee cup in Qi Mingchu’s hand, which he had yet to put down, was shaken by Aisha’s actions. Disgust flashed across his eyes.

With a gentle smile on her face, she didn’t answer Aisha’s question. Instead, she glanced at the hand holding the coffee cup.

“Oh dear, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Are you scalded? Let me take a look.”

Only then did Aisha realize that he was scalded. She hurriedly held his hand and placed her fingers into her mouth.

She helped Qi Mingchu suck on it symbolically before wrapping the tip of her tongue around his finger. The hint was too strong.

Yuan Sichun smiled and took a sip of her coffee.

Qi Mingchu pulled his hand away from Aisha’s mouth.

“I’m fine now.”

Aisha pressed her body against him and said coquettishly, “I’ll take a good look at you tonight.”

“Pay attention to the occasion. Don’t forget that you’re a public figure.” Qi Mingchu reminded her in a low voice.

Aisha stopped making a fuss and looked around before looking at Yuan Sichun.

“Aren’t we supposed to welcome you? Why are there only the two of you?”

Yuan Sichun chuckled softly and said, “The welcome banquet will be held tonight. I can’t wait to get your autograph.”

Then, he looked at Qi Mingchu and smiled.

“Oh no, she’s too jealous.”

Qi Mingchu glanced at Yuan Sichun and reached out to pat Aisha’s head. “How can that be? She’s so smart, she can naturally tell right from wrong.”

Elsa raised her chin at the compliment.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Sichun picked up her bag and said, “Alright, I won’t disturb the two of you anymore. I still have something on. See you tonight.”

Aisha’s entire body was glued to Qi Mingchu. After bidding farewell, she followed Qi Mingchu to the hotel.

At night, when Bo Jinhang and the rest were about to attend Yuan Sichun’s welcome party, Bo Jinchuan suddenly received a call from the Old Master.

“The Yuan family is here. They said that a business deal went wrong. Come and take a look.”

The old man’s tone was obviously not good.

After hanging up, Bo Jinchuan said to Shen Fanxing,

“Someone from the Yuan family is here to discuss something. Go with Jinghang first. I’ll look for you after I’m done.”

Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Okay, go ahead.”

Bo Jinghang stroked her hair and looked up at her, signaling her to take good care of her.

Bo Jinghang despised his brother. “Sister-in-law is stronger than anyone else. She can only torture others. Is there a need for you to be so meticulous?”

Bo Jinchuan’s gaze was like an icy knife stabbing Bo Jinhang. “If she loses a strand of hair, I won’t let you off.”

Bo Jinghang choked. “How can that be? Doesn’t Sister-in-law lose her hair?”

“But you can’t take it off tonight.”

Shen Fanxing was speechless.

Bo Jinghang was speechless.

Why did it feel like something was amiss?

Bo Jinchuan, who didn’t notice anything different, continued, “I can’t lose a single strand of hair. If I hurt my finger…”

Bo Jinghang gulped nervously.

However, Bo Jinchuan said calmly, “You have to bear the consequences.”

These words were even more terrifying than a direct sentence!

It was fine if there was no reward, but if she didn’t do well, she might even lose her life.

What was he up to?

She glanced at Shen Fanxing resentfully and saw a helpless smile on her face.

“Let’s go.”

–

Four Seasons Hotel.

Bo Jinghang brought Shen Fanxing to the banquet hall. From the moment the car arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, Shen Fanxing sneered coldly in her heart.

When they reached the banquet hall and saw the luxurious decorations, Shen Fanxing found it even more amusing.

This was what Yuan Sichun meant by “an ordinary gathering between friends”. However, the scale of this gathering was no different from the previous socialites’ gatherings.

Fortunately, she didn’t want to embarrass Bo Jinchuan, so she wore a simple dress.

It could be used as a gown or the kind she usually wore. It was average and didn’t lose her elegance.

Yuan Sichun was standing near the door to greet her new friend. She was wearing a rose-gold dress that accentuated her slender figure.

She was sexy and elegant.

She felt like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

When she saw them, she hurried over and glanced at Shen Fanxing’s clothes. Then, she smiled and said, “Jinghang, Fanxing, you’re here?”

Shen Fanxing glanced at her and smiled.

“Yes, it’s so lively today. I thought it was really just an ordinary gathering.”

Yuan Sichun turned around and looked at the people in the banquet hall. “Isn’t this considered ordinary?”

Shen Fanxing’s lips twitched as she stared at her with a faint smile.

“Wow, Sister Sichun, you’re too extravagant. I thought you were just booking a private room for fun!”

An exclamation sounded and Yuan Sichun’s face froze.

Turning around, he saw Aisha walking in with Qi Mingchu.

She was wearing a rose-red V-neck gown that clung to her figure. There were two golden hoops hanging from her waist, and her slender and fair waist swayed as she walked over.

Yuan Sichun forced a smile and said, “You’re here too.”

“That’s right. Fortunately, Sister Sichun specially instructed me to dress formally and beautifully. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for me to attend such an event today.”

Yuan Sichun gritted her teeth and looked at Shen Fanxing. She still had a faint smile on her face, but there was obvious sarcasm and coldness in her eyes.

The smile on Shen Fanxing’s face widened and an inexplicable glint flashed across her eyes.

“I’m hungry. I’ll go find something to eat.”

Without giving Yuan Sichun a chance to speak, she turned around and walked down the stairs to the center of the banquet hall.

Bo Jinghang placed his hands in his pockets and glanced at Yuan Sichun. He chuckled and walked towards Shen Fanxing.

Bo Jinghang’s words made Yuan Sichun feel ashamed.

She clenched her fists and turned to look at Qi Mingchu. The sadness in her eyes made Qi Mingchu’s heart ache.

He glanced at Aisha in disgust before brushing her hand away.

“You can play by yourself first. I’m going to the washroom.”

Hearing this, Yuan Sichun went forward and held Aisha’s arm.

“Ai Ai, let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet some friends. They’re all here for you today.”

Qi Mingchu went to the smoking area in the corner to smoke and watch the lively banquet hall.

Her gaze didn’t land on the goddess Yuan Sichun, nor her girlfriend. Instead, she followed Shen Fanxing with a dark expression. No one knew what she was thinking.

Not long after, he took a deep puff and stubbed out the remaining half before walking towards Shen Fanxing.
