“I heard from the principal that there is a spot available at the Conservatory of Paris, and he wants to give the opportunity to Ye Chuen,” Chi Shengxu said. “She probably won’t be staying in Ximei anymore.”

Luo Sang was shocked. She felt aggrieved. “How does she deserve the spot, given her lousy results?”

“Connections, I guess.” Chi Shengxu was hesitant. “Your ex-fiancé will be here at the event tonight as well. Will you be ok?”

“I’ll be fine as long as he stays out of my way.” Luo Sang gave him a light smile.

“Be careful, I heard that there is going to be a lot of press at the event tonight. Don’t make any mistakes. Don’t be too nervous, either. I’ll help you out,” Chi Shengxu said gently.

Luo Sang was touched by his words. Her friendship with Chi Shengxu wasn’t exactly the longest, but he never held himself back when it came to lending her a helping hand. “If... if my identity gets revealed tonight, don’t come to my aid.”

“Why would you say that?” Chi Shengxu asked seriously.

Luo Sang recalled Yi Jingxi’s threat a few days ago and sighed. “I have a bad feeling. You have a bright future ahead of you. Do yourself a favor and don’t get into my messy business. Alright, I have to go do something. See you later tonight.” She waved and turned to leave.

Chi Shengxu continued to stare as she took her leave.

...

Ximei at night was soaked in Christmas spirit. Luo Sang was changing into her gown and doing her makeup backstage. She didn’t even have time for dinner. As the emcee of the event, she was the first to be on stage.

As she stood before the full-length mirror, she carefully smoothed out the last crease in her dress. She was wearing the gown that Nian Junting had gifted her, a black mermaid dress paired with high stilettos, and her figure was flattered in this tight-fitting ensemble. She looked mysterious and alluring.

She inhaled sharply at her own reflection. If only Nian Junting was around tonight. She quickly fished out her phone and dialed his number, but the call didn’t get through... She sighed deeply. Just as she turned around, she saw Yi Jingxi walk backstage along with the principal.

“Come, Luo Sang, meet Mr. Yi.” The principal waved at her.

Luo Sang walked over and the principal continued, “This is our emcee for tonight, Luo Sang.”

“Very pretty.” Yi Jingxi smiled in an enigmatic way. “No wonder people always accredited Ximei as the top academy for both brawn and brains. Even Chi Shengxu is attending school here, am I right? It’s quite remarkable that your talents here are both so pretty and impressive.”

“The students will be pleased to hear that from you, Mr. Yi.” Principal He nodded. “I’ll bring you over to the other side.” Principal He led the way, and Yi Jingxi followed behind him. When he brushed shoulders with Luo Sang, he whispered, “Sangsang, I’m giving you one last chance.”

Without even looking at him, she began to walk away. Yi Jingxi added in a hushed voice, “Nian Junting isn’t around tonight. I heard he’s out of the country. You probably won’t be seeing his assistant around tonight, either.” When he finished, he briskly followed behind the principal.

Luo Sang was unnerved as she watched him walk away. She quickly dialed Lu Kang’s number. “Assistant Lu, where are you now?”

“I’m at the company,” Lu Kang said desperately. “I was making my way there when Mr. Nian’s grandma suddenly appeared. I can’t just leave her here.”
