The Wife of Hades

Chapter 89 - Snow Queen Competition

When she was certain that the people inside were probably dying from shock and fear, she whistled happily as she opened the door and left.

Even after An Luxia left, Li Yilan and Qi Jun stood in utter silence for several seconds until they were sure of the fact that they were alone again.

"Didn't I tell you to close the door?" Qi Jun said angrily, glaring at Li Yilan, his face slightly red from embarrassment.

Li Yilan was even more embarrassed, worried that the person who had barged in might have figured out that she was the one inside the restroom stall. Then, she would be screwed! If news spread that she was doing. . . in the restroom while the party was going on, then her reputation would definitely fall into the gutter! Not like it wasn't already in the gutter.

"I did -"

"Well then how did someone come in?!" Qi Jun ran his fingers through his hair frustratingly, sighing as he put on his pants again.

Li Yilan watched him in shock, still scared about the person who had come in. No. . . There was no way the person figured out that she was in here! It can't happen! The entire atmosphere that had developed inside the restroom stall immediately broke into pieces right away as Qi Jun put on his clothes one by one.

"Are you. . . But we haven't even finish -"

"I'm leaving." Qi Jun said simply, holding the suit jacket in his hands.

At once, Li Yilan's face turned green as she grabbed onto Qi Jun's arm. No! He couldn't leave! What would the people think if he suddenly left halfway through the party and left her here alone?! Her reputation had finally turned good again. It couldn't get ruined again!

"No, the party isn't over yet! Don't leave."

Qi Jun glared at her and pushed her arm off, "It's getting late and I'm not in the mood to party anymore. I'm going to leave."

Then, he walked towards the door, making sure that no one was inside the restroom anymore before pushing it open and walking towards the sink to wash his hands.

Li Yilan still stood naked in the stall, her eyes wide in shock and frustration. She couldn't leave! She had come to regain her reputation and also win the title of Snow Queen! If she left now, she would have come for nothing and the Snow Queen would most likely go to An Luxia!

She couldn't let that happen!

But if she didn't leave, people would definitely spread rumors about why Qi Jun left without her. Ughh!! Li Yilan ran her fingers through her hair frustratingly, gritting her teeth in anger.

If she knew who the person who had barged in was, she would definitely go rip her face out! 

Qi Jun wiped his hands with a towel and turned around to leave. However, just as his hands reached the door handle, Li Yilan suddenly said, "Wait! I. . . I'll go with you."

Her lips twitched in anger as she quickly put her dress back on. Luckily, Qi Jun was gracious enough to actually wait for her and the two of them quietly left the restroom together.

No one looked at them since there was a dance going on at the moment, and everyone was dancing to the music. Li Yilan walked out of the room with her head down and shoulders slouched, her fists clenched together in anger at whoever it was who had purposefully coughed in the restroom.

Just like that, her grand entrance had turned into a sad departure.

After Li Yilan and Qi Jun had left, no one noticed that they were missing as everyone else continued to enjoy the party.

An Luxia did not tell Mo Han about what she had seen in the restroom and they enjoyed the party together, dancing on the dance floor.

An Luxia rested her head against Mo Han's chest, ignoring all the looks they were receiving, most of them filled with admiration or jealousy.

The music was soft and slow, and their bodies swayed to the beat of the band, moving left and right slowly in the center of the room. After a while, the music stopped and the band got off the stage. The people on the dance floor also stopped dancing, including An Luxia and Mo Han.

Then, the principal returned to the stage and the spotlight landed on her, "I hope everyone is having a good time. It is time for one of our annual ceremony now, the Snow Queen contest. The initial round of voting has already happened on the school forum, and we have two candidates, An Luxia and Li Yilan"

An Luxia made her way towards the stage, but no one else did. The principal looked around the room confusedly, "Did Li Yilan not come?"

From the crowd of people, Xu Xin chimed up, "Ma'am, she was here a moment ago, but she must have left!"

The principal took one last scan at the crowd before looking at the paper in front of her and clearing her throat, "Well then, the runner-up will be. . . Xu Xin."

Xu Xin's smile widened as she immediately made her way towards the stage, wondering where Li Yilan had gone but happy that she was gone. Their friendship was just as "genuine" as that.

In a few seconds, An Luxia and Xu Xin were on the stage next to each other. Xu Xin fakely smiled at An Luxia, who didn't bother to acknowledge her.

The voting soon started and people came up one by one to put their votes in the two containers in front of them. Before even half of the people had gone onto the stage, it was evident who the winner would be.

Xu Xin had barely any votes in her container, and her expression was getting more and more ugly as she watched people walk past her straight to An Luxia to place their vote in her container.

An Luxia smiled at each person, saying thank you as they walked past. She then looked towards Mo Han, who was standing on the bottom, carefully eyeing each male that walked up to An Luxia almost as if he was scared they would suddenly pull out a weapon and hurt An Luxia or something.

The votes quickly passed and it was clear who had won.

The principal looked at the two containers and the line on her script was for her to tell the judges on the bottom to come up and count the votes, however that did not seem to be necessary. . .

She cleared her throat a little awkwardly and smiled, turning to the crowd, "Um. . . Well, the winner of this year's Snow Queen contest seems to be clear. Congratulations to An Luxia! And also congratulations to Xu Xin."

The crowd broke into applause and Xu Xin silently clenched her teeth together as she forcefully clapped stiffly. Then, she walked off the stage. 

Two people holding a sash with the words 'Snow Queen' on it and two large crowns. The person put the sash over An Luxia, who smiled happily.

"Ms. An, do you have a partner with you today?"

An Luxia looked up at the principal and quickly smiled, "Yes, ma'am! I do have a partner with me today!"

This attracted everyone's attention as they followed An Luxia's gaze towards the man standing next to the stage, holding a glass of champagne in his hand.

Mo Han raised one eyebrow, his eyes only on An Luxia. Seeing that he was not coming up, An Luxia frowned and waved at him, and he finally stepped forward, dropping the glass of champagne as he made his way up the stage.

On the stage, many people gasped when they saw the man's face in the light. He absolutely was. . . perfect! Not just his face, his body, his temperament, and especially the way he looked at An Luxia! Tonight, Mo Han was bound to catch the hearts of many women. But of course, he would drop all of those hearts mercilessly unless it was An Luxia's heart.

A crown was put onto Mo Han's head as well as the partner of the Snow Queen was automatically given the title of 'Snow King'.

Mo Han grabbed onto An Luxia's hand as they turned to the audience, who looked at the couple in awe. An Luxia smiled happily, although she had already known that she would win. Meanwhile, Mo Han had no expression on his face as he stared at the crowd below him as if he was the king looking at his peasants.

Then, he furrowed his eyebrow together when he noticed all the admiring and impure stares his wife was receiving from the men in the crowd. His fingers tightened around An Luxia's hand but that was not enough to suppress his anger.

An Luxia was busy smiling at the crowd when suddenly she felt a hand on her waist as she was turned around towards Mo Han.. Her eyes widened when a face suddenly blocked her view and then a strong force pressed against her lips.
