Translator: Daoist7 | Editor: chjean /EndlessFantasy Translation

While everyone forced them to down some drinks, Xi Xiaye could not really ward them off. They were all interested in Glory World matters.

“Right, Xiaye, I heard that Glory World Corporation’s Imperial Sky Entertainment City is going to launch on the seventh day of the New Year on a pretty huge scale. I wonder if we have the honor to go over for a look?”

“Yeah, since you’re a director at Glory World, this shouldn’t be too hard, should it? We also want to go and witness the grandeur of the launch, but…”

“Xiaye, which department are you managing in Glory World? Recently, I’ve been wanting to change my job. I wonder if your place has any vacancy…”

Many more of such similar questions swarmed her. Xi Xiaye could not help but politely smile and say, “It’s the New Year. Don’t worry about work now. We’re hardly relaxed. Tonight, we’re only allowed to play and bond with each other, not talk about work.”

“Yeah, yeah, argh, are you guys intentionally making it hard for everyone to have fun? Work matters shall temporarily be set aside. Tonight, we’re only going to eat, drink and be merry!” Su Nan helped Xi Xiaye round things up in time.

With that said, the few people who surrounded them exercised restraint and retreated.

“Xiaye, why didn’t Master Mu come along with you?” Su Nan softly asked in her ear.

“He went to his friend’s place to play cards,” Xi Xiaye simply answered as she gazed up slightly and her eyes met Xi Xinyi’s who sat in the middle seat and was throwing her mixed glances.

Su Nan followed Xi Xiaye’s gaze and looked towards Xi Xinyi too. Her eyes pooled with disdain. She could not help but whisper mockingly to Xi Xiaye, “This woman is really disgusting. Isn’t she already engaged to Han Yifeng? When did she become so close to w.a.n.g Ziluo? Did you know? I just found out that previously, w.a.n.g Ziluo asked her to bring you lots of his love letters, but he’s never seen her hand any of it to you. I told you that before this she must’ve fancied w.a.n.g Ziluo!”

Su Nan thought Xi Xinyi was annoying no matter how she looked now. The moment she thought about Xi Xiaye, she had the urge to go up to her and rip her face off.

“Annoying s.l.u.t!”

Seeing that Xi Xinyi had retrieved her gaze and was chatting away with w.a.n.g Ziluo again, Su Nan could not help but turn fiery-eyed and cursed, “w.a.n.g Zi should be yours. Why is she still shamelessly seducing men after stealing Han Yifeng!?”

Compared to Su Nan’s anger, Xi Xiaye seemed much calmer. She turned to look at Su Nan and noticed that she was resentful about the injustice as she stabbed the fruits in front of her violently with a fork, her little face all tensed up.

Seeing Su Nan like this, Xi Xiaye could not help but laugh. She frowned and finished the drink in her gla.s.s before saying calmly, “Miss Su Nan, you don’t have to be so outraged over this injustice for me. I’m already a married woman now. The way you act would make me misunderstand that you’re persuading me to cheat. Mr. Mu probably wouldn’t spare me.”

When she heard Xi Xiaye say this, Su Nan’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up. She then came to a realization. “Right, I almost forgot! You’re already married to Master Mu! That’s the true Prince Charming… Do they know?”

“It’s enough that you know. I’m not close to them, so there’s no need for them to know. Besides, I don’t want to invite trouble,” Xi Xiaye said as she picked up the bottle of wine beside her and poured herself another gla.s.s.

As she watched the crowd rush towards w.a.n.g Ziluo and Xi Xinyi, she could tell what Xi Xiaye meant.

However, she still sulked. Initially, the two of them were going to have fun together, yet now it seemed to be w.a.n.g Ziluo and Xi Xinyi’s show. The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.

They watched how in the middle of the room, the crowd started coaxing w.a.n.g Ziluo and Xi Xinyi to sing a duet, while the two of them very happily accepted the request. They started to sing an affectionate duet.

It was the same every time. No matter where Xi Xinyi went, she would be the center of attention. Su Nan still felt indignant about it, but Xi Xiaye was already used to it.

Xi Xiaye downed two gla.s.ses at a go, then suddenly remembered Imperial Sky’s Entertainment City launch. She then reached for her handbag and took out a red invitation before handing it to Su Nan. “Nan Nan, this is the invitation for the launch. Ask Ruan Heng to come together with you on that day.”

“I’ll definitely be there! I heard that there’ll be many huge celebrities attending too. With all the big shots attending, it’ll be an eye-opener for me!”

Su Nan excitedly took the invitation and opened it to take a look. Indeed, it was an invitation personally written by Xi Xiaye.

“You can go to Imperial Sky Fas.h.i.+on City first to choose a gown. Just put it on my tab.”

“Got it!”

Su Nan happily accepted the offer while Xi Xiaye took another sip of wine, seeming a little bored watching the group of people crowding around w.a.n.g Ziluo and Xi Xinyi. She thought about it and did not feel like she was in the mood, so she decided to leave.

However, just as she wanted to get up, having finished singing two love songs with Xi Xinyi, w.a.n.g Ziluo suddenly got up and looked towards her. Before she could make her exit, people were beginning to coax them.

“Xiaye, you should sing a song with Ziluo too!” The young and beautiful Sun Mei said with a smile.

All of them knew about Xi Xiaye and Xi Xinyi’s relations.h.i.+p, so when Sun Mei said this, everyone understood that she wanted to ease the slightly tensed atmosphere.

A group of people echoed her while w.a.n.g Ziluo looked at Xi Xiaye with antic.i.p.ation. Xi Xinyi’s face had turned a little stiff and her gaze at Xi Xiaye seemed obscure.

“I can’t sing, CEO w.a.n.g. It’s best to let Miss Xi sing with you.”

Before Xi Xiaye could say anything, Xi Xinyi’s sweet voice was heard. “Sis, Ziluo knew you were coming, that’s why he rushed over. From what I recall, you sing really well too. It’s such a happy day. Isn’t it great for everyone to have some fun?”

Those who did not know would obviously think that Xi Xinyi was hinting at Xi Xiaye’s humility. Yet, Su Nan knew that she was just making it hard for Xi Xiaye to say no. Before Xi Xiaye could answer, she scoffed, “As great as she sings, she can’t compare to you as a professional actress. Right, I heard that Miss Xi’s just gotten engaged to Han Corporation’s CEO Han a few days ago. It’s almost 10 p.m. now. If you don’t go home now, it wouldn’t be too great, would it?”

Su Nan had kept it in the whole night. The instant she saw Xi Xinyi walk in with w.a.n.g Ziluo, she almost wanted to kick the door down and leave. Had she not been too worried about Ruan Heng’s image, she would have long done so!

It was the New Year, but she had to endure this anger. How unlucky!

“Thanks for your concern. Yifeng said that he’ll drive over to pick me up later. We can play to our hearts’ content tonight. I’ve already asked Yifeng to come to get the bill!” Xi Xinyi smiled with tenderness and elegance.
