“Wait for me here and don’t go anywhere,” Han Jing made a prompt decision to call Song Meng and Li Xiangling inside. She assigned two people to stand guard outside the door while she quickly looked for the leader of the Qin Family.
“What happened?” Li Xiangling was keener. Even though Yun Xiangxiang’s expression remained unchanged, it was obvious that something big had happened based on her actions earlier.
Yun Xiangxiang only shook her head, “I hope nothing happens.”
If something did happen, it would be such a great deal that even the heavens would be shaken.
The three of them spent an excruciating hour in the room. Han Jing entered the room after an hour with her face slightly paled, “We should go now.”
“Sure,” it was what Song Meng wanted.
Humans really needed to know their own limits. These kinds of places weren’t meant for people like them. It would make them feel uncomfortable all over. It even greatly reduced the appetite.
Everyone else was leaving gradually, not just Han Jing and the others. It was obvious that that wasn’t even half of the party. It was cut short even when the climax had not arrived yet.
They heard some people gossiping on the way out, claiming that Old Man Min’s recurring illness rendered him unable to entertain the guests.
Yun Xiangxiang faintly felt someone’s gaze falling on her when she entered Han Jing’s car.
She followed the direction of where that gaze came from keenly. What stood there was a flashy limousine. However, she could only see the bodywork but not the brand.
The side window was rolled down just when she was averting her gaze. She unexpectedly came face to face with a pair of eyes and a face half covered.
It was hard to describe the pair of eyes. They had the slant of Asians and the deepness of Europeans.
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t see it clearly due to the distance. Coincidentally, a car was driving down the middle lane. With the help of its headlight, Yun Xiangxiang managed to glean a flash of fascinatingly seductive purple before her sight was blocked by the passing car.
Purplish-black eyes!
Yun Xiangxiang’s car already revved into motion when she didn’t even have the chance to be shocked. The car was gone from that place when she looked again. She saw the rear of a car that was getting further in her opposite direction.
“What are you looking at, Xiangxiang?” Song Meng rarely saw Xiangxiang’s gaze being so curious. She couldn’t help but to turn around and take a glance herself.
“Nothing?” Yun Xiangxiang smiled but did not elaborate.
Song Meng would scream frenziedly if she said she saw a pair of purplish-black eyes. She couldn’t take this kind of killing temptation.
Someone was knocking on Yun Xiangxiang’s door the moment she finished her shower when she got back to Han Jing’s villa.
When she opened her door, she discovered that Han Jing was actually serving her a glass of warm milk herself. She knew Han Jing had something to talk to her about. She closed the door once she let her inside.
Han Jing placed the milk on the nightstand before she talked to Yun Xiangxiang, “You helped the Min Family a great deal today. Gramps wanted me to tell you that he will remember what you have done today. Someday he will repay you. However, he didn’t say anything at the moment as consideration of your safety.”
Yun Xiangxiang nodded in understanding.
Who knows what kind of killer that was. They could even chase their target from a foreign country to China. Even now, fear still lingered in their hearts.
They would investigate the reason for the failure of their plans tonight. It would be akin to sending her to the guillotine had Old Man Min rewarded her greatly at this moment.
Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t have said it if she didn’t worry about herself, Song Meng, and Han Jing. It would be best if Old Man Min forgot this incident too. She didn’t want to get herself embroiled in the affairs of the powerful in the least.
Han Jing was liking Yun Xiangxiang more when she didn’t ask any further questions. It was a shame her son was too young. She would try to get him to marry her otherwise.
To be neither conceited nor rash and was able to stay calm at such a young age. Even she would get frozen by fear if she encountered this kind of incident when she was seventeen.
“Sleep early. We will go to Shenshi tomorrow.” Han Jing patted Yun Xiangxiang’s shoulder before leaving the room.
Yun Xiangxiang slept well thanks to the milk. However, only she alone knew how anxious she was. It wasn’t until the plane to Shenshi took flight did she relax.
When they arrived at Shenshi, Yun Xiangxiang and Song Meng, they didn’t have the strength to go shopping. Tomorrow would be the film festival. They all stayed at the hotel arranged by Han Jing. They also had their dress and accessories of the film festival prepared by Hang Jing too. Yun Xiangxiang was already prepared when he was in Hong Kong.
Yun Xiangxiang went to the film festival with high spirits after a day’s worth of sleep.
They weren’t slotted at the time period where everyone would be exhausted unlike last time. Instead, they would be going in during the opening scene. They would follow quickly after the bigshots in the opening ceremony. It was a great time slot.
Yun Xiangwang was wearing a champagne coloured nightgown. An exquisite flower decorated the frills of the golden lace. It was an off-the-shoulder, half sleeve gown. The sleeve was made of fine gauze.
The long dress was layers upon layers of fine gauze that reached the ankles. She wore a pair of matte gold heels. Her neck and arms were draped by a fine lace embroidered by a champagne coloured rose. She donned a pair of earrings that resembled big, golden stars.
Her stylist pulled her hair up and combed it to the side before letting it drape down to the front of her chest. The stylist used the same lace that was embroidered with a champagne colored rose to tie the hair. With this, the lace on her neck, wrist, and the ends formed a slanted line. She exuded an ethereal elegance and retained the sweetness of a princess with this style.
The laymen who almost forgot about Yun Xiangxiang once again screamed when they saw her.
Yun Xiangxiang’s features were losing their guilelessness with her growth. She was like a gorgeous flower that blossomed quietly at the crack of dawn.
[Oh my god, heart’s pumping faster and faster. I need to call 120[1]]
[She was just smiling at the camera. However, I can feel that she’s killing me with that smile]
[This is too big a shock. My soul cannot be calmed now.]

[Ah...! My muse has finally recovered!]
[Screenshot! Screenshot! Screenshot!!!]
Yun Xiangxiang who radiated light naturally attracted another wave of commotion. However, the procession went smoothly this time. She went inside with Han Jing early.
Han Jing took her to meet the judges for the film festival instead of going straight for their seats like last time. All of them were bigshots in the international sphere.
Yun Xiangxiang’s English wasn’t bad. It was enjoyable talking to these people.
“Yun, it is really you!” A surprised voice called up. Yun Xiangxiang discovered that it was Milles who called out when she turned her head around. He stepped forward and happily hugged Yun Xiangxiang. He fervently asked for her contact after that, “You left too soon the last time we met. This time, you have to give me a chance to thank you properly.”
“Sure. Shall we have dinner tomorrow night together if it’s possible?” Yun Xiangxiang had to go home the day after tomorrow. The national college entrance exam’s results were about to be released.
She would have to immediately return to Hong Kong and enter the filming team for “Justice and Selflessness” after settling the matters regarding her entrance into university.
“It shall be my honor.”
They chatted for a while after deciding on their appointment. More people were flocking to the venue now. Han Jing led Yun Xiangxiang and the girls to their seats and sat down.
