《(PART 1) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 169: Grand Launch (3)

Xi Xiaye smiled elegantly and nodded gently at everyone. "Apologies for making everyone wait."
Zhang Lan grinned. "Director Xi, I think the title of our Glory World's number one goddess should be awarded to you! When I saw those beautiful female celebrities earlier, everything looked like a blur. Looking at you now, I suddenly feel that you can probably be the finale personality for Glory World."
Once Zhang Lan said that, the few others could not help but beam and nod in agreement.
Xi Xiaye's delicate face started to get hot, then she laughed and said, "The person who should be the finale isn't me, but..."
As she said this, she turned to look at the man beside her willfully, drawing laughter from them. "Right! That's right!"
"Let's go in!"
He shot her a side look and was about to reach out to hold her hand, yet she turned to the side. Before he could reach her, she had already consciously and quietly moved to stand behind him and the few other Vice Presidents.
He instantly frowned, his eyes focusing on her. The others seemed to have noticed something too, and they automatically opened up a path...
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. After a brief stare, she then quietly walked to his side.
...
When they entered the venue, the place was still bustling. The host who was giving an opening welcome address to the guests offstage also did not realize that the Glory World leaders had entered.
It was not until someone offstage shouted 'Chairman Mu' did the crowd snap back to attention. By the time they swiveled to look, Mu Yuchen and several of his subordinates had walked across the red carpet and sat calmly at the hosts' seating area.
The honorable and graceful, low-profile and reserved Master Mu was always the center of everyone's attention. His presence could instantly silence an entire venue.

Today, as usual, he was dressed in a comfortable, silver-gray casual suit. His handsome and indifferent face was quiet and distant as always, his gaze hidden in a gentle mystery. He looked calm and unfathomable without even needing to deliberately show off his aura. With just that poise and manner of his, he could immediately make the crowd perceive the meaning of an innate honorable grace.
Something that was equally breathtaking was the woman beside him —
In a low-profile, elegant cheongsam, the obscure and mysterious sapphire blue outfit greeted their sight. They could not help but feel their breaths taken away. The tiny diamond studs on the bodice and the floral print on the skirt coupled with the blooming blue roses that fit perfectly by the corner of the dress made this subtly lavish dress retain its elegance and beauty.
Her delicate and exquisite complexion was bright and glowing while her twinkling eyes held an air of indifference. Her expression that was calm as water seemed quite similar to Mu Yuchen's beside her.
She did not deliberately put much makeup. Even that beautiful, long hair of hers was so casually tied into a bun with several thin strands of fringe still framing her forehead. Despite appearing a little messy, it looked rather charming. The faint smile on her face also made one feel that she possessed a sort of elegant and gentleness.
Because of their appearance, it seemed as if everything else around them had instantly turned dull and colorless.
They were a match made in heaven, the perfect pair!
When everyone saw this scene, these words flashed in their minds.
You could vaguely hear the sound of a horrified gasp as the host onstage realized that he had forgotten to announce the arrival of Chairman Mu and the other leaders of Glory World Corporation.
Han Yifeng had never witnessed such a gorgeously dazzling side of Xi Xiaye. In his impression of her, she had always been a character that existed quietly, never taking up the role of a princess. On the other hand, the one who always acted like a princess was Xi Xinyi...

In his daze, he suddenly thought about how at almost every party, Xi Xinyi would always appear splendidly with the posture of a princess, while her sister, Xi Xiaye, would always be behaving as usual, busy helping the servants, or in a certain corner chatting away with an old friend. She would never be like them, mingling around in the middle of crowds while basking in everyone's praises and envy.
Something flashed in his mind. He could also vaguely remember —
That New Year's Eve, he had stood beside her under the tree as they watched the sky full of flickering fireworks. She had asked him, "Yifeng, after all of this dazzling beauty is gone, what do you think remains?"
That year, she had been forced to quit the military academy to go abroad. Before she left, she had found him to tell him, "Yifeng, wait for me to graduate from university. After I return from my studies, I'll be your assistant. That way, we won't be too tired."
That year, he had finally decided to rescind the marriage contract and choose Xi Xinyi. She had begged him, "Yifeng, I don't know who you've liked all these years, and I don't know how many people have liked you either. If I beg you to respect our marriage contract and not leave, would you be willing to?"
...
He did not know why now that he saw her standing beside another man, he suddenly felt upset. He kept reminding himself that the woman he loved had always been Xi Xinyi.
He did not know why at this very moment, he would so randomly reminisce all these past. Then, he suddenly felt a stifled feeling in his chest...
Were all men like this?
Even after separating, would they still think that the person was theirs and feel uncomfortable when someone else touched them?
Han Yifeng had a mixed expression as he watched her slowly walk past him. Her resounding steps did not stop for a moment and her gaze did not deviate at all. Subconsciously, he clenched the cup in his hand tightly, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he slowly let go...
Seeing this, Xi Xinyi who was by Han Yifeng's side had an odd gaze. She was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.
She suddenly remembered that Yue Lingsi had been jealous of Shen Wenna's innate extraordinary elegant aura more than once. In the past, when she looked at Xi Xiaye, she could faintly feel that she always lived in Shen Wenna's shadow. Now, from the way she looked, that feeling was even more distinct.
Her hand that rested on her knees balled slightly into a fist while she turned to look at Han Yifeng beside her. Seeing his stern, handsome face looking as usual, despite the mixed emotions on his face, her beautiful eyes instantly dimmed. She subconsciously bit her plump lips and reached out to hold Han Yifeng's hand tightly before she said in a daze, "Sister is so beautiful... right? Yifeng?"
When he heard her voice, Han Yifeng looked at her. Watching the flickering charm in her eyes, while a smile broke across her tender face and she silently looked at the beautiful blue silhouette ahead, he fell silent for a moment. Then, he answered, "Mmm, you're very beautiful today too."
Xi Xinyi smiled gladly. "In my heart, the most beautiful person has always been her..."
Then, infatuation blossomed clearly in her eyes again...
