The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

48: It Would Be Absurd If He Couldn't Recognize Her!

"Hello."

"Do me a favor please." With his voice low and somber, he continued, "There's a masquerade ball tonight. Will you be my partner?"

"This kind of ball is for blind dating, why would I, a married woman, go there?"

"I already said I needed your help. Anyway, with a mask on, no one will recognize you. It'll just be for a while," Gu Beicheng urged her in a desperate tone.

"Don't tell me that other than me, you can't find any other woman? I don't underestimate your charisma at all." It was evident that An Xiaoning was unwilling to go.

"Five hundred thousand," Gu Beicheng offered this price. "Just half an hour and we'll go back. Five hundred thousand for 30 minutes, how's that?"

"It's a deal then." No one would ever complain of having too much money.

It was soon nighttime. Under the bright lighting that illuminated the venue, one could see that An Xiaoning was dressed immaculately, all decked up for the event. Gu Beicheng's eyes brightened up at the sight of her.

He handed the masquerade mask over to her. Noticing that the mask would only reveal her eyes, An Xiaoning momentarily felt relieved.

With her hair tucked behind her ears and the mask on her face, she possessed a different kind of alluring charm.

"If I don't look close enough, I would never realize it was you," Gu Beicheng assured her. "Follow me inside and don't speak a word. It won't be nice if you are recognized by someone."

"Don't tell me there's someone I know inside."

He casually touched his nose, slightly awkward. "Of course there is."

After they went in, An Xiaoning wished she could take Gu Beicheng's head off and kick it around like a soccer ball. That jerk dared to lie to her. It was undoubtedly a blind date ball, but why didn't he tell her beforehand that Madam Gu would be there too?

Although half of Madam Gu's face was hidden by a mask, An Xiaoning could still recognize her.

She was suddenly on pins and needles. She even slightly regretted helping Gu Beicheng over money.

"Son, is this the lady you've taken a fancy to?"

"No, this is my partner for the ball."

Madam Gu's face changed instantly. She said in a hushed tone, "Told you to come here to pick a lady, what have you brought a partner for?"

"How badly does your son need to find a woman that I have to attend this ball today?"

"You could find one easily, but you better be serious in your relationship. That Chi Rui'er whom you've dated before, what kind of fling was that? Those who are invited here today are all celebrities. I asked you to attend today to meet more of these kinds of ladies. Just a few days ago, I read from a magazine report that you like men - that really pissed me off, what do you think I'll feel as your mother?"

A smile twitched at the corner of Gu Beicheng's mouth. "All of those were fabricated by the media. Can you believe them?"

"We know that, but others don't, right? Enough of this rubbish, I don't care, you have to get married before Ye Xiaotian does. I want to hold my head high before Ye Xiaotian's mother!"

"Mother, lower your volume." Gu Beicheng hugged his mother to reassure her. "Fine, you can go and find someone you think is decent for your son to see now. I'll go and take a look too, to see if there's anyone I fancy."
