She decided that she would appear last and then silently amaze everyone.

  If that person was really him, she would take revenge little by little. Even if she had to go back to hell, she would make his life feel worse than death!

  If not, she would just take the chance to flaunt her beauty and promote Black Clouds Fortress too.

  The dress she wore this time was provided by Shen Yan’s fashion label, SY. It was named ‘Darkness’, one of Shen Yan’s latest designs that had yet to be launched.

  As its name implied, the dress was pure black in color.

  The fabric was manufactured by SY and the silver thread was machine-sewn onto it made the entire dress very shiny.

  It had a straight neckline an a hem that was short in the front and long in the back. The fabric at the waistline was crocheted, making Yan Jinyi’s slender waist look even thinner, perfectly accentuating her figure.

  “I knew you’d look especially good in this dress, Jinyi,” Shen Yan couldn’t help but praise while staring at Yan Jinyi in the mirror as she helped her put on the necklace.

  “It’s all because of your skillful hands, Yan Yan.”


  She liked black and always felt that it was a color that can cover up everything.

  “Yan Yan, what do you say I straighten my hair, make it straight, long and black, and then match it with a flaming red lip color. I’m almost getting dizzy by my own beauty.” Yan Jinyi held her face and said in a narcissistic manner.

  Shen Yan was a little helpless. “You’re the only one who can be so confident.”


  “Don’t you think I’m beautiful, Yan Yan?” Yan Jinyi said, winking at the mirror.

  “Yes, you’re the most beautiful.”


  As Yan Jinyi said, after straightening her hair and putting on some dark makeup, Yan Jinyi looked really stunning.

  She was like a fallen angel; evil and alluring.

  The design of the dress happened to reveal a small part of Yan Jinyi’s legs, so Shen Yan chose a pair of black strappy high heels for her and painted her toenails beautifully. “Perfect, Jinyi, you will definitely be able to stun the crowd tonight.”


  Yan Jinyi spun around a few times and said, “Yan Yan, aren’t you going to attend it too? Your family and the Fu family should have dealings with each other.”


  Shen Yan maintained a presentable smile and said, “We’re not that close. It just so happens that I have to go see a friend later, so I’ll pass this time.”


  She looked at Shen Yan’s face with her eyebrows raised teasingly. “A friend? Is it that senior of yours who shares the same last name as you?’


  “Don’t tease me, it’s a friend from abroad who works together with me and came to our country this time to get inspiration.”


  “Is he a man or a woman?”


  Shen Yan was speechless. Of course, she knew what Yan Jinyi was thinking.

  “It’s a man who already has a girlfriend. They have a very loving relationship.”


  ‘Forget it, anyway, Yan Yan has Shen Guanzhou and he’s quite a good catch.’


  Huo Xishen called Huo Chengyu and asked him to accompany Yan Jinyi there.

  Huo Chengyu personally drove to Shen Yan’s studio to pick up Yan Jinyi.

  The sky was getting dark in the evening, and Huo Chengyu was leaning against the front of the car, with a cigarette between his fingertips.

  Shen Yan accompanied Yan Jinyi out just in time to see this scene.

  Huo Chengyu wasn’t a heavy smoker and in the three years of their marriage, she rarely saw him smoking.

  Or rather, she rarely saw him in those three years.

  She remembered how she used to wait for him to come home everyday, only to be disappointed every single time.

  A fleeting trace of gloominess flashed across the bottom of her eyes and she soon smiled again. “Since Chengyu is here to pick you up, I’ll head back inside.”


  Yan Jinyi glanced at him before asking Shen Yan, “Aren’t you going to greet him?”


  “There is no reason to greet him. He may not even want to respond to me,” Shen Yan said as she reached out to straighten Yan Jinyi’s hair. “Have fun, I have to go abroad in a few days. I reckon I’d be away for two or three months this time.”
