However, in this life, she wasn’t here because she chose to, but because he had invited her.
Moreover, she was no longer the Jian Yufei who was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.
Luo Rouyun was expecting to make a laughing stock out of her, yet Jian Yufei merely gave Ruan Tianling an elegantly smiling reprimand saying, “It’s not like you. Miss Luo, having grown up with you and being so close to you, should have been brought up before me. Had I known that Miss Luo was your sister, I would have prepared an extra gift for our meeting today.”
Tit for tat, who’s afraid of whom?
Luo Rouyun’s expression stiffened slightly, while Ruan Tianling wore an ambiguous smile.
He gazed at her deeply and, wearing a pleasing smile, said: “It’s all my fault, my lady shouldn’t blame me.”
Jian Yufei affected a stern face saying, “Naturally, I should blame you and even punish you. Since today is Miss Luo’s birthday, I will punish you by fulfilling her wish – accompany her for the first dance.”
If he agreed, then it was her who let him accompany Luo Rouyun to dance, not Luo Rouyun’s own request.
Of course, if he disagreed, that would be a direct hit to Luo Rouyun’s face.
Regardless of the situation, she wouldn’t lose, so she didn’t care much.
Ruan Tianling’s eyes deepened even more, and his ambiguous smile made Jian
Yufei feel a bit uneasy.
Why, did he discover her scheming?
Well, if he doesn’t like it then divorce her earlier!
Luo Rouyun had always been the pampered heiress, although she had heard plenty of intrigues, not many were staged in front of her.
So facing Jian Yufei’s consecutive counterattacks, she couldn’t find an argument to refute her.
Although she hated Jian Yufei to death in her heart, she still had to maintain a polite smile, fearing that Ruan Tianling wouldn’t like her.
“If this is my wife’s request, how dare I refuse.” Ruan Tianling smiled and nodded, agreeing to accompany Luo Rouyun for the first dance.
Despite knowing that it wasn’t her own request, Luo Rouyun was still very happy in her heart.
She immediately warmly took Jian Yufei’s hand, and smiling like a neighbor’s little sister, said, “Sister, let’s go, I will introduce you to other ladies. Ruan elder brother can deal with the socializing here, so as not to tire you.”
Jinan Fir appeared as if she couldn’t refuse and laughed whilst nodding her head, “Alright then, I’ll have to trouble Miss Luo.”
“Oh, don’t call me Miss Luo, just like Ruan elder brother, you can also call me younger sister!”
Luo Rouyun laughed innocently. If Jian Yufei hadn’t known her from her previous life, she would have really thought she was an unsophisticated, simple girl.
Thinking of what she had arranged for today’s banquet, Jian Yufei’s eyes lowered and grew colder.
Such a sister, she dared not accept!
After meeting several influential ladies and young misses with Luo Rouyun, Luo Rouyun arranged for her to rest in a corner while she herself continued to entertain other guests.
Jian Yufei sat back in the sofa, a server in a dark blue uniform and white gloves serving her a glass of red wine on a tray.
She gratefully thanked him. Elegantly holding the wine glass and gently shakinz it, she brought it to her lip and took a small sip.
Not long after, music played, lights dimmed romantically, signaling it was time for the dance.
Watching Ruan Tianling and Luo Rouyun dancing in the center, Jian Yufei lowered her gaze. The flickering lights cast shadows on her face, switching between light and dark, just like her current mood.
“Oh my ” A glass of wine was suddenly splashed onto her, a woman hastily apologizing to her..
