The hotel staff’s discussion continued, with many speculating about the strange situation.
“What fiance? I once said the President is my husband; did anyone believe me? It’s just her words.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re correct; there’s been a lack of lovey-dovey news about the celebrity couple lately.”
“And it’s clear that Li Yan isn’t spoiling her much.”
“So why did they spend so much money?”
“We can’t comprehend the world of the wealthy.”
“Let’s not discuss this any further. Remember, loose lips sink ships. Everyone, let’s get back to work. We can have our meal later and continue afterward.”
On the next day at 6 p.m., Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan arrived at Bai Xue’s 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 Ling’er. But it seemed they had guessed wrong.
Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan looked at each other.
Jiang Ling’er exchanged a glance with Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan whispered, “We guessed wrong this time.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “This couldn’t have been Bai Xue’s idea. She hates blue, yet it’s the primary color. She wouldn’t torture herself like this.”
“Whose idea could it be then?” Wen Nuan asked in astonishment. After all, Li Yan wouldn’t allow Bai Xue to suffer. While others might want to give Bai Xue a hard time, they wouldn’t dare to provoke Li Yan.
“I’m not sure,” Jiang Ling’er responded, wearing a perplexed expression. “In any case, this can’t be Bai Xue’s choice.”
“What is Bai Xue up to with these antics?” Wen Nuan inquired.
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “Regardless 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.”
Jiang Ling’er continued, “NuanNuan, I know who’s behind this.”
“Who is it?” Wen Nuan asked with curiosity.
“Li Yan,” Jiang Ling’er revealed. “But Bai Xue won’t grasp Li Yan’s intentions.”
Wen Nuan looked at Jiang Ling’er, puzzled. She asked, “Li Yan chose this? How did you figure that out? And what could his intentions be?”
Jiang Ling’er chuckled and responded, “It’s just a hunch. As for his intentions, it’s straightforward. Li Yan regards Bai Xue as something pure and radiant, just like the color blue.”
Wen Nuan felt a little disgusted by the idea. She said, “Ugh, do they want me to throw up my dinner from last night?”
Jiang Ling’er was left speechless.
“Ling’er, do you think Bai Xue will understand?” Wen Nuan asked curiously.
Jiang Ling’er pondered for a moment and replied, “We’ll see what Bai Xue is wearing later. That should give us a clue if she’s aware.”
“I suddenly want her to come out quickly,” Wen Nuan said.
“Don’t overthink it,” Jiang Ling’er advised with a smile. “If my hunch is correct, it’s highly likely that Li Yan arranged Bai Xue’s attire for tonight, so it will suit the theme.”
Wen Nuan’s expression darkened, and her mood took a turn for the worse. If Li Yan was the one who orchestrated the theme, he wouldn’t allow Bai Xue to make any mistakes, leaving Wen Nuan with no chance to see Bai Xue embarrass herself.
Jiang Ling’er noticed Wen Nuan’s unhappiness and reassured her, “Don’t worry. If she dares cause trouble for me today, 1 have a way to embarrass her.”
Wen Nuan’s eyes lit up and she smiled happily.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the event. She was surprised to see Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan. She greeted them and said, “You two are here early.” Qin Xiaoxiao was wearing a high-slit gown that accentuated her curves. Iler cleavage was noticeable, causing many to turn their heads.
Jiang Ling’er smiled. Was Qin Xiaoxiao here to celebrate Bai Xue’s 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 Xiaoxiao’s outfit and found herself speechless. If she were in Qin Xiaoxiao’s place, she’d likely need lots of padding to achieve that effect.
Wen Nuan instinctively looked at Jiang Ling’er, wondering if her friend felt constrained by the tightly fitted dress.
“Hello. We’ve just arrived.” Jiang Ling’er greeted her with a smile.
Wen Nuan surveyed the surroundings and noticed a grand piano positioned on the central stage. Puzzled, she inquired, “Are they bringing in a pianist to perform?”
Qin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before replying, “I don’t think so.
According to Junior Bai, she’s planning to perform for everyone herself. I’m not entirely sure about the details. I guess we’ll find out shortly..”
