Chapter 1743: Why He Came
Lin Xianjing wanted to go make fun of the ugly duckling. She came over with champagne and intentionally asked, “Is this our new popular artist Evening Star?”
The people around all said she was her. Lin Xianjing said again, “Nobody said tonight’s dance was a masquerade ball. Are you intentionally trying to show off and attract people’s attention by being the only one who is wearing a mask?”
“I didn’t think that.”
Jing Xi looked coldly at Lin Xianjing and didn’t want to bother with her at all. The previous situation with her was very unpleasant so she now felt it was better not to get involved with such people.
She turned away and wanted to leave but Lin Xianjing blocked her path and intentionally tossed the champagne in her hand at her.
Jing Xi had previously spilled coffee at her and caused a social faux pas. Today, she needed to get payback for what happened last time no matter what!
Lin Xianjing thought she would be able to get the dress on Evening Star’s body wet by throwing the champagne. But unexpectedly, Evening Star actually did a gorgeous three-hundred-and-sixty-degree turn and bent down perfectly.
Not one drop of the thrown champagne managed to touch her body. Instead, to maintain balance, she stretched out her arms and unintentionally slapped Lin Xianjing.
That sound was what you call crisp!
That sound was what was called loud!
Lin Xianjing was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t know what exactly happened, only feeling a burning sensation on her cheek.
By the time she regained her senses, Evening Star had already lifted her dress and dashed away. She, on the other hand, stayed where she stood. She was so stunned by the slap that she turned into an idiot.
Before Lin Xianjing’s old hatred had disappeared, she gained a new hatred. She couldn’t help but want to find Evening Star again but her assistant promptly stopped her. She advised her to hold it for a while so as to not become a joke in other people’s eyes.
Lin Xianjing had no choice but to grin and bear it. It was only after the company’s deputy president asked her to speak with him that the previous awkwardness was alleviated.
Not long after, a commotion arose outside the door again. Quite a lot of people looked over again and saw a group of people walking in from the outside.
A group of people clustered around an extremely distinguished man. The man was also wearing a mask. It looked similar to the mask Evening Star wore.
His entire body exuded an irresistible nobility. Quite a few young women couldn’t help but be completely love-struck. They looked over, screamed, and heart shapes emitted out from each of them.
Lin Xianjing also looked over towards the sound. She recognized that man with one glance. Wasn’t that the man from the other day who made her wear one hundred outfits before she was allowed to go out?
He was definitely the person supporting Evening Star behind the scenes! She was able to guess it by looking at their masks.
The masked man came to the scene and Kaidi’s President Huo Sanyan personally came to greet him. Moreover, he was brought to the most honorable seat.
All of the people there were guessing the man’s identity. However, no one knew why he came.
Jing Xi sat in the corner and noticed him. She recognized he was his majesty the king. She was very shocked he came tonight to attend their company’s dance.
He was even wearing a mask, making it very mysterious. In order to keep a low-profile and to prevent the king from discovering her, she promptly hid her own mask.
Not long after, a host came out and started to host tonight’s dance.
He then started to introduce the reasons for tonight’s dance and invited the main star on stage.
Beams of light fell on Jing Xi and the host read out her name, Evening Star, on stage. Her poster also appeared on the big screen as well as the names of her songs.
Jing Xi didn’t know this dance was being held especially for her. Feeling bewildered, she was dragged onto the stage by her colleagues and arrived next to the host.
