“Guess what, he was only three at that time. After he went back, he broke all the mirrors while kicking a ball in his room.”

She wouldn’t put that past Gong Siming would do. But he was so smart at the age of three. Si Wan felt the dying ember in her heart was about to flare up at any time.

“After hearing these anecdotes about him, don’t you think he is quite cute sometimes?”

Maybe he had always been so lovely, except that his loveliness never belonged to her.

“Si Wan, guess what, when he was little, he once grew especially fond of a fighter model, not long before he lost it. It was the first time I had seen the lofty junior master of Gong’s Family so depressed.”

“Why didn’t he search for it?”

Asked Si Wan with an expression of puzzlement. In her mind, if people lost things, shouldn’t they search for them? It was meaningless to feel depressed.

“He searched every corner of the Gong’s house but there was still no sign of it.”

After a pause, Mr. Ma continued with a sympathetic tone.

“From then on, everything he likes would be destroyed by himself after playing with it for a while.”

Si Wan widened her mouth with surprise. She had never imagined a toy would affect Gong Siming that much.

She suddenly felt he was quite merciful to her. After all, Feng Ling had been lying in her sickbed for two years due to her fault. Despite his resentment against her, he had never hurt her physically.

It was a miracle that she was still alive.

After so much talk about him, Si Wan unwittingly fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Si Wan, Mr. Ma murmured with relief.

“I hope you will think differently about him tonight, for people express their affection in different ways.”

He slowly drove the car downstairs of the company.

The sleepless Mr. Ma was still in high spirits.

Unwilling to disturb Si Wan, he chose to stand outside overnight.

When Si Wan woke up, she saw Mr. Ma standing outside. His figure was tall and strong, his rough face was still angular, and his gaze were deep and bright. At that moment, an article she learned with the title The Poplar Trees suddenly crossed her mind.

She had no idea why poplar trees came to her mind. Si Wan looked regretfully at Mr. Ma as she got out of the car.

“You are awake, Chairman Yan came here just now and required your presence.”

This man was neither humble nor pushy, which made Si Wan doubt his identity as a driver.

“Thank you, Uncle Ma, let me call a driver to send you back.”

Mr. Ma turned back and got in the car.

“That won’t be necessary, I’m fine. I’ll pick you up tonight.”

The car soon disappeared in Si Wan’s sight.

Si Wan didn’t know what matter should drive Yan Xiuya here. It must have been related to her.

Too many things had happened recently, and she felt overwhelmed.

In the meanwhile, her adaptability improved, which paved a solid foundation for her future lone life abroad.

Unwittingly, she found herself at the door of Yan Xiuya’s office.

As usual, the secretary opened the door for her with enthusiasm.

“Mother, you want to see me?”

Yan pointed at the evening dress on the table. “This is for you, try it on”.

Si Wan picked up the dress and walked into a lounge.

When she came out, Yan Xiuya couldn’t hide the admiration in her eyes. The sapphire dress was simply streamlined. The deep V neck was designed to a nicety. A gemstone was glittering on the chest and the girdle was bound tightly. Not a single piece of flab was unveiled. The skirt horn was semi-open, exposing her long legs when she turned sideways.

The simple dress fully set off Si Wan’s perfect figure. If she further did her hair and wore a light make-up, she would be bound to become the centre of attention.

“The International Fashion Dinner Party will be held at the Imperial Capital International Mansion tonight. All the fashion front runners will attend the party by then. And I would like you to join me.”

This was the first time Yan Xiuya had invited Si Wan to keep her company at a banquet, and Si Wan rejoiced greatly.

“The hairstylist and makeup artist will be here in a minute, and by then Mr. Ma will go with us.”

“Yes, mother.”

After that, the two women didn’t know with what topic to proceed. Yan Xiuya simply sat before a desk to handle her business. Si Wan stood quietly in front of the window and gazed at the scenery outside.

After a long period, the hairstylist and makeup artist started their separate preparations upon their arrival.

In front of the Imperial Capital International Mansion.

The red-carpet ceremony already began. Business tycoons, female celebrities, popular artists, superstars, fashion front runners stepped on the carpet one after another, contending in beauty and fascination.

As the chairman and junior mistress of the all-powerful Gong’s Group in the imperial capital, they were above all the entanglement. Walking shoulder to shoulder like sisters, they caused a sensation.

Feng Qi and Xiaoyu arrived late for their quarrels but happened to encounter Si Wan and Yan Xiuya.

Xiaoyu was in a pink, fantastic evening dress, which set off her fine skin and made her look like a noble princess.

Even Yan Xiuya was a little amazed by her, not to mention Feng Qi, who almost dropped his jaw at the sight of her.

As soon as Xiaoyu saw Si Wan, she ran up immediately and walked alongside her. They laughed and talked all the way, which Yan Xiuya found inappropriate. But she didn’t find herself in a place to judge.

A great number of reporters also found the new hype, that Feng Qi’s secret girlfriend and his rumored girlfriend were close.

Some reporters even wrote the coverage under the title Feng Qi Obsessed with Two Girls, One of Them A Wife.

The entire banquet was a vanity fair for starlets to rise and a sodality for the rich to find new mistresses. Naturally, these people were at the bottom of the high-end food chain.

Topics of the upper class were way beyond their reach.

Since the beginning of the banquet, Si Wan had been staying with Yan Xiuya. The latter introduced her to a lot of people and taught her a lot of things.

But a pair of eyes were viciously fixed on her from the corner.

Trying hard for a breather, Si Wan and Xiaoyu found a quiet corner. Both of them didn’t like such an occasion but had to embrace it.

To divert the attention of the media, Xiaoyu kept Feng Qi by their side while they were talking about recent events.

While they were chatting happily, an uninvited guest interrupted.

“Ho, isn’t this junior Mrs. Gong? I didn’t expect such effective means from you. Even your assistant can find her way to such a prestigious man as Feng Qi!”

Jealousy and discontent lingered on a twisted face injected with medical plastic.

It was doubtful why should any man fancy such a disgusting woman. The mere thought of that would make people feel uncomfortable.
