The hotel staffâs discussion continued, with many speculating about the strange situation.
âWhat fiance? I once said the President is my husband; did anyone believe me? Itâs just her words.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âYouâre correct; thereâs been a lack of lovey-dovey news about the celebrity couple lately.â
âAnd itâs clear that Li Yan isnât spoiling her much.â
âSo why did they spend so much money?â
âWe canât comprehend the world of the wealthy.â
âLetâs not discuss this any further. Remember, loose lips sink ships. Everyone, letâs get back to work. We can have our meal later and continue afterward.â
On the next day at 6 p.m., Jiang Lingâer and Wen Nuan arrived at Bai Xueâs birthday banquet.
When they entered, they were surprised by the decor. It was unexpectedly low-key.
They had initially thought Bai Xue would decorate the place like a wedding banquet to taunt Jiang Lingâer. But it seemed they had guessed wrong.
Jiang Lingâer and Wen Nuan looked at each other.
Jiang Lingâer exchanged a glance with Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan whispered, âWe guessed wrong this time.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and replied, âThis couldnât have been Bai Xueâs idea. She hates blue, yet itâs the primary color. She wouldnât torture herself like this.â
âWhose idea could it be then?â Wen Nuan asked in astonishment. After all, Li Yan wouldnât allow Bai Xue to suffer. While others might want to give Bai Xue a hard time, they wouldnât dare to provoke Li Yan.
âIâm not sure,â Jiang Lingâer responded, wearing a perplexed expression. âIn any case, this canât be Bai Xueâs choice.â
âWhat is Bai Xue up to with these antics?â Wen Nuan inquired.
Jiang Lingâer smiled and replied, âRegardless of her intentions, we have nothing to fear. In fact, this birthday party with a dominant blue color theme is quite elegant. Blue is a cool color, signifying serenity, depth, simplicity, and sophistication.â
Jiang Lingâer continued, âNuanNuan, I know whoâs behind this.â
âWho is it?â Wen Nuan asked with curiosity.
âLi Yan,â Jiang Lingâer revealed. âBut Bai Xue wonât grasp Li Yanâs intentions.â
Wen Nuan looked at Jiang Lingâer, puzzled. She asked, âLi Yan chose this? How did you figure that out? And what could his intentions be?â
Jiang Lingâer chuckled and responded, âItâs just a hunch. As for his intentions, itâs straightforward. Li Yan regards Bai Xue as something pure and radiant, just like the color blue.â
Wen Nuan felt a little disgusted by the idea. She said, âUgh, do they want me to throw up my dinner from last night?â
Jiang Lingâer was left speechless.
âLingâer, do you think Bai Xue will understand?â Wen Nuan asked curiously.
Jiang Lingâer pondered for a moment and replied, âWeâll see what Bai Xue is wearing later. That should give us a clue if sheâs aware.â
âI suddenly want her to come out quickly,â Wen Nuan said.
âDonât overthink it,â Jiang Lingâer advised with a smile. âIf my hunch is correct, itâs highly likely that Li Yan arranged Bai Xueâs attire for tonight, so it will suit the theme.â
Wen Nuanâs expression darkened, and her mood took a turn for the worse. If Li Yan was the one who orchestrated the theme, he wouldnât allow Bai Xue to make any mistakes, leaving Wen Nuan with no chance to see Bai Xue embarrass herself.
Jiang Lingâer noticed Wen Nuanâs unhappiness and reassured her, âDonât worry. If she dares cause trouble for me today, 1 have a way to embarrass her.â
Wen Nuanâs eyes lit up and she smiled happily.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the event. She was surprised to see Jiang Lingâer and Wen Nuan. She greeted them and said, âYou two are here early.â Qin Xiaoxiao was wearing a high-slit gown that accentuated her curves. Iler cleavage was noticeable, causing many to turn their heads.
Jiang Lingâer smiled. Was Qin Xiaoxiao here to celebrate Bai Xueâs birthday? No, she seemed to be here to attract attention from men. Her attire left little to the imagination, particularly her ample cleavage.
Wen Nuan glanced at Qin Xiaoxiaoâs outfit and found herself speechless. If she were in Qin Xiaoxiaoâs place, sheâd likely need lots of padding to achieve that effect. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wen Nuan instinctively looked at Jiang Lingâer, wondering if her friend felt constrained by the tightly fitted dress.
âHello. Weâve just arrived.â Jiang Lingâer greeted her with a smile.
Wen Nuan surveyed the surroundings and noticed a grand piano positioned on the central stage. Puzzled, she inquired, âAre they bringing in a pianist to perform?â
Qin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before replying, âI donât think so.
According to Junior Bai, sheâs planning to perform for everyone herself. Iâm not entirely sure about the details. I guess weâll find out shortly..â
