  The store manager did not do anything to Nan Zhi’s hair, merely letting her long, brown curly hair rest against her shoulders. Nan Zhi did not need any special grooming to look sexy and elegant at the same time.

  The design of the evening gown was a little bold, but it suited Nan Zhi perfectly.

  She glanced at Qiao Yanze in slight confusion. “Isn’t this too formal? Why do I feel like you’re going to sell me off?”


  Qiao Yanze laughed charmingly, before he took out an exquisite box from his document bag. A set of sparkling jewelry was inside the box.

  “My partner must naturally appear beautiful and captivating!”
……

  It was only when they arrived at the grand banquet hall that Nan Zhi found out that it was the birthday dinner for the Prince, Ye Fengshu.

  Several members of the Royal family had arrived in the banquet hall. The men were dressed in suits while the women were dressed in gorgeous evening gowns. They were conversing and laughing softly, looking exactly like a scene from the high-end society of a movie.

  When Qiao Yanze brought Nan Zhi in, they caused quite a commotion.

  As one of the four most handsome men in the Capital, Qiao Yanze was adored by countless ladies.

  Nan Zhi did not miss the fact that they had all treated her as their love rival.

  “You brought me here to help you block those women away, didn’t you?”


  Qiao Yanze smiled charmingly. “How can you say that about your uncle? Look there.”


  Nan Zhi looked at the direction where Qiao Yanze was pointing at, towards a man that was surrounded by several ladies.

  The man was wearing a white suit, and look handsome and gentle. However, because the light was shining at her eyes, Nan Zhi could not see what he looked like clearly.

  Nan Zhi turned back to Qiao Yanze in confusion. “What’s wrong with that person?”


  “What’s wrong?” Qiao Yanze pulled Nan Zhi forward. “Don’t you have any reaction after seeing him?”


  “What reaction am I supposed to have?”


  “Take a good look at him again.”


  Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows as she turned to look at that person again. This time, she finally saw how he looked clearly. Indeed, he looked very charming. He had a gentle and pretty face, fair skin, single-lidded eyes and a sharp chin. His features looked like they were a masterpiece made by the delicate effort of a master. He did not lose out even when she compared him to Qiao Yanze.

  “So? He’s really, really handsome, isn’t he?”


  Nan Zhi moved her eyes away from the man as she smiled. “He is.”


  Looking at him was really a pleasure for her eyes.

  Qiao Yanze smirked when he heard this. He pulled Nan Zhi towards that man.

  “Uncle, what are you doing?” If Nan Zhi still did not understand why Qiao Yanze had brought her here today, she would be a fool.

  Qiao Yanze flicked Nan Zhi’s forehead lightly. “Of course I’m going to introduce you to him. Let me tell you, he’s a miracle doctor. If you can get him tied around your fingers in the future, our family can probably all live to be a hundred years old!”


  The corners of Nan Zhi’s lips twitched. “He’s a miracle doctor, he definitely won’t like someone who has a child like me……”


  Qiao Yanze interrupted Nan Zhi’s unfinished words, “So what if you had a child before? Who doesn’t like Baby Jie when they see him?” With that said, Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes, whispering, “You’re still thinking about that person, aren’t you? Let me tell you, we had a family meeting last night without telling you and all of us are against you thinking about that a**hole again!”


  Nan Zhi was slightly speechless. “It’s rare that all of you can come to a consensus……”


  “Of course. You’re our family’s treasure after all.”


  Warmth burst in Nan Zhi’s chest when she heard Qiao Yanze’s words, making her heart warm with affection for her family.

  Qiao Yanze wrapped his arm around Nan Zhi’s slender shoulders. “Stop closing your heart. It’s not like there’s only one good man in this world.”


  Nan Zhi moved her red lips, though she did not have the chance to say anything when a commotion was heard from the banquet hall’s entrance.

  Mu Sihan, wearing a tailored black suit, walked in looking handsome and tall. His suit pants wrapped around his long legs perfectly, his aura cold and elegant.

  He attracted countless numbers of stares from the moment he entered.

  Shangguan Wan did not come with him. Instead, the one who came with him was Princess Lucy, who was following behind him.

  Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she saw Lucy wearing a white evening gown as well. She immediately turned towards Qiao Yanze.

  Qiao Yanze also saw the evening gown Lucy was wearing, his lips curling up unconsciously as he smiled devilishly. “You’re actually wearing the same as the Princess.”


  Nan Zhi really wanted to punch Qiao Yanze for even daring to laugh. It was such an awkward thing to wear the same thing as another person at such an important occasion.

  Qiao Yanze raised an eyebrow. “Lucy doesn’t look as good in the evening gown as you do. If someone has to be embarrassed, she should be the embarrassed one! Haha! Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to my friend.”
……

  When Qiao Yanze led Nan Zhi to Bai Ye, Mu Sihan and Lucy, who had just entered the banquet hall, also saw them.

  Mu Sihan saw Nan Zhi because he would notice her first, no matter where she was.

  On the other hand, Lucy noticed Nan Zhi because of the evening gown she was wearing.

  Lucy had always liked to be unique. That woman must have eaten the courage of bears and panthers to dare to wear the same thing as her!

  The more despicable thing was that that woman had the perfect proportions that were in the golden ratio. The evening gown made her look extremely sexy and elegant when she wore it.

  Lucy slowly clenched her fists, darkness flashing in her eyes.

  Ye Fengshu and Ye Yanfeng came over to greet the two of them. Seeing Lucy standing beside Mu Sihan, Ye Yanfeng smirked silently……

  Qiao Yanze led Nan Zhi to Bai Ye.

  “Is this the niece you mentioned?” Bai Ye stared at Nan Zhi, surprise in his eyes. She was indeed from the Qiao family, as she looked even better than her uncle.

  Qiao Yanze introduced the two of them to each other before he said proudly and happily, “Of course. If it wasn’t because we’re close friends, I wouldn’t introduce you to my family’s treasure.”


  Bai Ye reached his hand out to Nan Zhi. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”


  Nan Zhi reached out to shake hands with Bai Ye.

  Qiao Yanze convinced all the ladies wanting to talk to Bai Ye to go away, creating space for Nan Zhi and Bai Ye.

  “Miss Nan, let’s go and have a chat on the balcony outside?”


  After Mu Sihan and Lucy arrived, Nan Zhi did not want to stay in the banquet hall either, so she agreed to Bai Ye’s invitation to go out.

  The two of them walked towards the balcony together.

  Both of them were dressed in white, the man tall and charming while the female was beautiful and slender. When they walked together, they looked like a perfect couple, looking extremely good together.

  Qiao Yanze nodded, pleased as he quietly glanced towards Mu Sihan who was talking to Ye Fengshu.

  The phrase saying that one lived in the Cao camp but had his heart in the Han camp was probably matching to what Mu Sihan felt now!

  There was a beautiful Princess standing beside him right now, but his eyes kept darting towards the balcony……

  On the balcony.

  “I heard from your uncle that you still have a cute child? Miss Nan is really young, you don’t look like you have a child.”


  At the mention of Xiaojie, a smile appeared on Nan Zhi’s pretty face. “He’s already four years old.”


  “That’s an interesting age to be in. We can meet one day and have a meal together.”


  Nan Zhi did not have the chance to say anything when she suddenly felt a fiery gaze landing on her from behind. Turning back, her eyes accidentally met Mu Sihan’s deep black eyes.
