The CEO's Woman

Jiang Yue looked at the elegant venue in front of her. It was originally themed in black and white, however, she suggested to add a tinge of coral in it. After all, they were situated on an island.

The venue was outside of Moon Empire's mansion. With the subtle smell of the ocean and the coastal elements of the black and white design, the venue instantly screamed class and elegance.

She looked at the lush, flower arrangements of garden roses and white peonies which complimented the wall decor that was embellished with black ribbons and sparkling rhinestones. The candles, put on each table, were perfectly made to match the theme, making the vibe romantic and creating a stylish environment.

She could see that many people had already arrived and started talking to each other, creating a lively environment. This would have been the perfect venue for a birthday, if not for the undercurrent that was raging. As everyone, including Jiang Yue and Fu Jin, was cooking up their own schemes to establish their power in Emerald Country.

When the host of the party noticed their arrival, he instantly announced their presence to everyone, signaling the start of the banquet.. Fu Jin and Jiang Yue's arrival instantaneously attracted everyone's attention. It was mostly because not many people knew that Fu Jin had such an outstanding appearance that was obviously above most of the western men who were attending the celebration.

Though most of them had already seen Fu Jin's photograph, many still find it incomprehensible that he would be a hundred times better looking in person. Of course, many were also sending stares of adoration to the woman beside Fu Jin.

Compared to the western beauties at the party, at first glance, Jiang Yue was not the prettiest or the most elegant one. However, if you stared at her longer than a minute or two, then you would realize how outstanding she was. It could even be said that she was comparable to the 'Darling of the Emerald Country' Mia Pardi.

Of course, Jiang Yue's presence next to Fu Jin also gathered jealousy from women. How could someone, who was not that beautiful, stand beside an outstanding man like Fu Jin?

At first, the murmurs and sneers were not that obvious. However, as more and more women started to pay attention to Fu Jin, the offensive remarks and insults started to pour from the guests' lips.

Both Fu Jin and Jiang Yue were still easterners after all, and most of the time, people from the west would always look down on them. It was true, the party was extravagant and elegant, the invitation was superb too. But all of that was just made to show that Fu Jin and Jiang Yue held some wealth that was comparable to the prominent families from the west.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Fu." Nico Ruiz beamed when Fu Jin offered a toast to their table. However, he did not make an effort to get up from his seat. The atmosphere instantly turned sour when Mr. Ruiz did not even hold his glass up to make a toast to Fu Jin.

And just like him, all of the people at his table did not even make an effort to hold up their glasses. They just looked at the couple, their eyes full of ridicule, as their lips curled up into a sneer. Their presence at this banquet did not mean that they had already acknowledged Fu Jin's existence. Rather, they were here to show him that he was nothing in their eyes.

Seeing the group of businessmen's rudeness, a flash of indescribable emotion was seen in Jiang Yue's eyes before she put her arms around her man. Then, she whispered to him, loud enough for some of the guests to hear. "What were you thinking, Jin, offering a toast to the dogs? Surely you know that they can't be bothered with human etiquette, right?" She spoke fluently in a western language, there was not a hint of an accent in her words. Then, she elegantly covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.

The people who heard her instantly turned red as they realized the meaning of her words. Was she calling them dogs? How dare this woman insult them in the face. Nico Ruiz, who was sitting at the front and was nearest to the couple, obviously heard Jiang Yue's remark. However, he only smirked at her.

This woman and Fu Jin were still laughing, simply because they didn't know about the events that were going to happen in a while. Nico Ruiz sneered inwardly before downing the glass of wine in his hand. In Nico Ruiz's mind, it was already a celebration of his victory over Moon Empire. After robbing those millions worth of diamonds, he was sure that Moon Empire would be reduced to nothing.

Seeing Fu Jin and Jiang Yue's faces only made him more confident. As expected of the people from the East. They were naive and stupid. They did not even know that danger was already looming over their heads.
