Jian Dan’s sleep quality was not good to begin with. How could she sleep in a new environment?
Chu Liyuan had already been gone for more than 10 days, but he had not called her once. She wondered if Chu Liyuan had eaten on time or slept on time. Was he very tired?
Jian Dan held her cell phone. She had already typed it, but was still hesitating about whether to send it. She really wanted to send it, but was afraid of disturbing Chu Liyuan’s work. Her shoulder angel and shoulder devil were playing tug-o-war.
In the end, she held back from pressing the send button.
Jian Dan sat up on the bed and looked at the starry sky outside the window. The image of Chu Liyuan appeared in her mind, and the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up…
“Liyuan, since you miss her so much, why didn’t you call her?” asked Chu Liyuan, who was staring blankly at the screen saver on his cell phone.
“I really miss her. I never thought that I could miss someone so much. If I hear her voice, I might not be able to control myself and go back to see her.” Chu Liyuan lowered his head and looked at Jian Dan’s sweet smile on the cell phone.
“Even if you don’t call, you can send a WeChat message!”
“I have too much to say to her now, so I don’t know what to send.”
“I just want to complete the mission as soon as possible so that I can go back and see her as soon as possible.”
“There’s basically no problem anymore. We can reel in the net tomorrow.”
“Yes, I can finally go back and see her.”
In order not to worry Uncle Zhang, Jian Dan only told him that she was too bored at home, so she was staying at a friend’s house for a few days.
During the few days she stayed at Sizhe’s house, she was not idle either. They practiced every day so that they would not be exposed on the day of the ball. Moreover, as long as they were out of the villa, the two of them had to pretend to be a very close couple, just in case Zhuang Meiqi had secretly sent someone to monitor them…
After a few days of interaction, Shang Simiao found Jian Dan to be a very cute girl.
She was a little mischievous, but she was also very cute. She was a little willful, but she was also very playful. She liked to act bravely, but she would always put herself in danger. She was like a child when she played. She was unrestrained and free. Being with her made him feel unprecedentedly relaxed and free.
No wonder a girl as passionate and pure as her could melt an iceberg like Chu Liyuan.
Soon, it was the day of the ball. Jian Dan put on the gown that Sizhe had prepared for her… It was a white dress with straps on both shoulders. The back was hollowed out, and one could clearly see the beautiful lines on Jian Dan’s entire back. Coupled with beautiful and elegant makeup, Jian Dan looked like an angel who had fallen to the mortal world.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Jian Dan was a little doubtful.
Was this really her? Why did she feel that she looked very pretty?
Jian Dan was not the kind of beauty who would turn heads. Every time she went out with Mengjiao, she was never the one being hit on. At most, she was the cute type!
At this moment, she looked cute and charming in the mirror. There was a little sexiness in her charm. She was completely different from her usual self.
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you to have such a good figure!”
Jian Dan usually wore looser clothes. He did not expect her figure to be so good! Although she was thin, she still had curves in the right places…
“Isn’t the back too revealing?!” Jian Dan pointed at her back shyly.
“No, no, no, not at all. You’re very charming tonight!” Sizhe gave her a thumbs up with both hands.
“Really?” Jian Dan doubted the credibility of Sizhe’s words.
“Are you done? It’s time to set off!” Simiao was making his way down from upstairs after getting changed…
“Well… If not, you can ask my brother! Simiao, what do you think?”
Sizhe asked when he saw Simiao coming down the stairs.
Simiao had just come downstairs. When he saw Jian Dan, his expression froze slightly… He could not believe that the person in front of him was that mischievous lass.
“Just look at my brother’s expression…” He saw that his brother was staring intently at Jian Dan.
“Oh! Very beautiful!” Simiao replied after coming back to his senses.
“Let’s go! We’ll be late if we don’t leave now!”
“Let’s go, Jian Jian!”
In the past, only Chu Liyuan had called her that. It felt a little awkward to suddenly hear another man call her that.
But from this moment on, she had to forget her identity first and work hard to act as Simiao’s fiancee!
Jian Dan followed the two of them into the car…
Soon, they arrived at the venue of the ball.
In order to make it more realistic, Jian Dan and Simiao arrived in the same car, while Sizhe arrived in another car.
“Are you ready?” Looking at Jian Dan’s nervous expression, he said, “Don’t worry, I’m here!”
“Thank you, Mr. Shang!” Jian Dan looked at Simiao gratefully.
“You can’t call me that after we get out of the car!”
“Oh, right. Simiao…”
Simiao smiled and nodded. He got out of the car first and went to the other side of the car. He opened the door on Jian Dan’s side and placed one hand on the car while the other pulled Jian Dan out of the car.
Jian Dan lifted her skirt and carefully got out of the car. “Oh!” As soon as she exited the car, she almost fell…
Jian Dan had never worn such high heels before!
Fortunately, Simiao was quick to catch Jian Dan. “Relax!”
Jian Dan took a deep breath and nodded.
Shang Simiao gently held her hand. In order to portray his wife-doting character, the way they held hands was to interlock their fingers…
Simiao held Jian Dan’s hand and slowly walked up the stairs. When they arrived at the top of the stairs, they bumped into Li Jing. As Chu Liyuan was not around, Li Jing had to attend on his behalf…
Although it was said that they had bumped into each other, Li Jing had actually waited there purposely. Sizhe had already told Li Jing about their plan. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to go along with it.
However, when he saw Simiao and Jian Dan appear at the same time especially when he saw their interlocked fingers—he felt his whole body start to break out in cold sweat… If Mr. Chu found out, who knew what would happen to him?
It felt like a knife was already pressed against his neck…
Zhuang Meiqi seemed to be waiting for them at the door on purpose. As soon as they appeared, Zhuang Meiqi welcomed them. “Mr. Shang, you’re here. Sorry for not welcoming you.”
“It’s alright. It’s my honor to be able to attend your ball!” Simiao said politely.
“Miss Jian, you’re here too. It looks like Mr. Shang really dotes on you!”
“Why? Miss Zhuang, you know Jian Jian?”
“Oh! I was lucky enough to meet Miss Jian by chance. Later on, I found out that she’s your fiancee.”
“Oh, I see! This lass didn’t cause you any trouble, did she?”
“How could that be?! IVLiss Jian is so smart!” When Jian Dan heard this, she almost couldn’t help but vomit. Zhuang Meiqi’s hypocrisy was really so amazing. No one could detect any flaws.
“That’s good! Then we’ll go in first!”
“Please.”
Simiao held Jian Dan’s hand and walked into the ballroom…
