Next Friday evening-

Gong Ou refused to be talked out of her attending the party. He made sure to plan everything just to his liking. Her dress, hair and make-up were all over looked by him.

 Xiaonian picked the dress Feng De delivered to her yesterday and put it on. It was smoothy and the hem reached her knees and flirted around her legs, it was a very beautiful dress.

A maid helped her into a simple hair do and bought her her shoes from the closet.

After she wore them all, Xiaonian stood before the mirror and admired herself in the mirror.

Proper food and sleep can do miracles to a person, she thought.

Since a long time ago, she started living by herself and she scrimped very penny she had for the future because she knew that the Shi family wouldn't essentially come forward to help her in times of need, so she always keep a small sum of savings in her bank and worked hard sacrificing sleep to get a little bit extra every month.

It's no wonder rich people tend to look good with access to all that.

She picked up the shiny black purse that came along with the dress and walked into the hall where Gong Ouyang was already waiting for her.

As soon as Gong Ouyang saw her, an appreciative light lit in his eyes. She had an innocent face and a seductress's body and in that silk black dress she looked so beautiful that it took his breath away.

His gaze moved down her again but this time it stopped at her neckline where a hint of cleavage was visible, not just to him, but out there, to everyone. His lip curled with distaste, he clearly mentioned that nothing that shouldn't be seen by others should be on display. Tch!

"You! get her a shawl!" he snapped at the maid following Xiaonian.

The maid quickly scampered away and returned back with a matching shawl and handed it to Xiaonian who draped it around her.

"Tighter!" Gong Ouyang ordered her when he found that it wasn't doing it's job properly.

Xiaonian sighed in exasperation and pulled the ends of the shawl closer. This man was weird.

"Is this good?" she asked, she can't have him shouting at the maids and scaring them away.

"Better. Now come here."

Gong Ouyang held her petite body under his shoulder and walked out of the apartment with her.

They were traveling for more than 30 minutes, away from the city and Xiaonian got a little curious.

All the fashionable places were behind them, where were they going exactly?

It was another 20 minutes before they stopped near the port, and when Xiaonian got down, she felt a cool sea breeze brushing against her cheek. The weather was pleasant and the night beautiful. She looked around and her eyes stopped on the giant cruise ship docked a few meters away from them.

"Baja?"

Wasn't this the cruise she worked on three years ago?

She turned and cast a questioning look at Gong Ouyang. What game was he playing at?

Feng De was the one to reply her unasked question, "Miss Shi, the Baja cruise hosts a dinner party every year for business scions in our and around neighboring countries. It is something the young master has participated in since a long time ago."

"Let's go!" Gong Ouyang wrapped an arm around Xiaonian's waist and steered her towards the cruise.

Two professional waiters were standing at the beginning of the stairs collecting invitations from the guests, but when Gong Ouyang appeared, they simply bowed and received the invitation from Feng De and let them in the party without any checks.
