Inside the well-decorated room, Fei Chuan stood nervously while staring at the door. He clenched his hand and took a deep breath.
He was just going to fetch her; why was he so nervous? They were just going to enter the venue together, then have one dance, and that’s all. He could return home soon and consider this done.
Fei Chuan glanced at his reflection on the glass table. His fair and handsome face looked back at him. With his sharp gaze and overbearing instilled in his bones, he looked very different from the gloomy and timid boy he usually saw through the mirror.
Fei Chuan patted his chest and felt the hard box inside his suit’s pocket, "Calm down, Fei Chuan. Just act like you usually do."
Fei Chuan turned around and decided to observe the paintings to calm down his nerves. It was better to get rid of any thoughts of her so he wouldn’t be nervous.
As he occupied himself with the decoration in the drawing room, the sound of the door opening resounded behind him. And a familiar teasing voice followed next, "I did not make you wait long, right?"
Fei Chuan stiffened. He took a deep breath and turned around to face her, but as soon as his eyes laid on the person in front of him, his heart that he had just managed to calm down started to beat erratically.
Bei Sangyun’s skin was very fair, but with the deep sapphire blue dress on her, her skin seemed to glow under the lights from the chandelier. Her exposed collarbone and shoulders exuded a seductive allure. Her dress was not too flashy or extravagant like the custom-made dresses of her classmates, but it was enough to show off her charm and elegance.
Her hair was half pulled up by silver hairpins, the rest flowed in waves. There were hints of silver on her wrist and on her neck. The exquisite makeup on her face was not too heavy but highlighted her beautiful features. She had a youthful, dignified vibe of a young lady, but the mysterious allure in her could not be hidden.
Fei Chuan, caught off guard, found himself breathless and unable to speak for a long time.
Bei Sangyun was also the same. Her eyes widened as she stared at Fei Chuan’s youthful handsome face.
"...You cut your hair," Bei Sangyun managed to speak after a while.
She hurriedly took a couple of steps, which made Butler Xin almost yell, and stopped in front of Fei Chuan to gaze at his handsome face.
Her face was close to him. Bei Sangyun looked at every angle of his face and was pleasantly surprised, "I know you are handsome as a teenager, but you grew even more handsome and charismatic without those long bangs covering your face. Fei Chuan, you will definitely become famous tonight!"
Fei Chuan met her admiring gaze, and his face flushed red. Looking up close, Bei Sangyun was even more beautiful.
"...I can say the same to you," Fei Chuan muttered.
Bei Sangyun grinned, "Are you saying I am beautiful too? I was worried that you might find my dress a bit lacking. After all, I did not order a custom-made one. Now I kinda regret it; I should have dressed more beautifully."
Fei Chuan glanced at her and hurriedly looked away, "...Yeah. It’s a bit...lacking."
He did not even see how simple the dress was; all he could think was it suited her and she glowed in it.
Bei Sangyun reached out her hand. "Then shall we go? My escort."
Fei Chuan maintained his aloof expression and offered his arm.
Bei Sangyun hooked her arm on his and noticed those soft adorable ears suddenly turned red. Amused, she glanced at his face and saw his usual cold expression. Bei Sangyun could not help but laugh.
Ah, this teenager Fei Chuan was so cute.
When the couple stopped in front of the white limousine, Bei Sangyun was shocked.
"This is yours?" Bei Sangyun, unlike the others, knew how valuable this car was.
Not only could this car be bought with a lot of money, but only those who were capable and had strong connections could ride in this car. Although there would be a dozen of people who owned this kind of car a few years later, for the current Fei Chuan, who was the unfavored child in the Fei family, it was inconceivable. No, even the heir of the Fei family could not possibly own one.
Fei Chuan saw her surprised expression. He felt a bit satisfied. It was worth spending most of his savings and owing a favor to his client.
"It’s not mine. I just rented it."
Bei Sangyun was even more stunned. How much money did he spend just to rent this? No, the actual question was, how did he find someone who owned this and get the other person’s approval to rent it?
Bei Sangyun looked at Fei Chuan in a new light. It seemed that the current Fei Chuan also had some secrets.
Fei Chuan, like a gentleman, opened the door for her. "Hop in."
Bei Sangyun smiled. Nevertheless, the fact that Fei Chuan rented this car to fetch her meant he was giving her a lot of face.
Her heart warmed, and her smile deepened.
.....
In front of the fourth branch’s building, Jang Shin escorted Lin Sunji toward the car.
Lin Sunji saw the black car and froze for a moment. Didn’t he bring the phantom white limousine that is said to only have five owners in the world?
Jang Shin saw her stop and looked back at her in wonder, "Did you forget something?"
Lin Sunji recovered and smiled, "Ah, no. I think the maids just gave me wrong information."
Jang Shin: "?"
Lin Sunji hid her contempt toward the maids who gossiped about the white limousine. They gave her some fake news and made her expect for nothing.
As she was about to enter the car, a flashy white limousine passed by in front of them. Seeing the plate number on the car, Lin Sunji paused.
That... that is the renowned phantom white limousine!
So it was really here!
Lin Sunji turned to Jang Shin excitedly, "Isn’t that yours?"
Jang Shin saw the car leaving as well and was surprised. He did not hear her question and muttered in admiration, "Wow, that’s the famous white phantom right? Who would have thought I will see it here today." He looked back at Lin Sunji, "Who is that just now?"
Lin Sunji: "...."
