Murong Xue picked up the food she bought and entered the kitchen. She was ready to cook some tasty dishes. She did not eat much in the restaurant before. Food from the Space was her preference.

Seeing Murong Xue busy cooking, Shangguan Mo thought that he had hit the jackpot. Her dishes had made it difficult for him to agree with others’ cooking. He just wondered why this Miss from the Murong Family could be such a good chef.

He closed the documents in his hands and walked to the door. His icy eyes fell upon Ye Feng and Ye Liu, “Tell me what happened today.”

Breaking into a cold sweat, Ye Feng and Ye Liu didn’t dare to hide any detail from Shangguan Mo, including that Chu Yisen held Murong Xue’s hand to avoid cars when they crossed the street.

It evoked a gust of anger inside Shangguan Mo and his eyes grew colder. D*mn. Why there were always people chasing his girl? The two useless men even could not get her rid of Chu Yisen. “Go and get your punishments.” Shangguan Mo said.

“Yes.” Ye Feng and Ye Liu answered obediently.

Returning to the living room, Shangguan Mo had wanted to take it out on Murong Xue. But seeing her cooking for him softened his heart. He thought to himself that it was those restless men’s fault instead of hers and they deserved to be punished for touching his girl.

The two finished their dinner in a short time and Murong Xue felt uneasy about Shangguan Mo’s ferocious look, wondering what plan this man had now.

At night, Murong Xue was lying in bed as usual and Shangguan Mo was taking a bath in the shower room.

The power of habit was hard to resist. Although trembling at first, Murong Xue could sleep at ease on the same bed with Shangguan Mo now. Maybe it was because that he did not force her to do anything else. Recently, she also found him not as annoying as he used to be.

When Shangguan Mo got out of the shower room and saw Murong Xue staring at the ceiling blankly, he felt rather jealous. What was she thinking about now? Was she going over the time when she spent with Chu Yisen today? Shangguan Mo felt unhappy. He even wanted to bite somebody.

With cold eyes, he looked as if he had wanted to eat her alive.

Murong Xue looked up and asked, “What’s up?”

“What are you thinking about?” Shangguan Mo wanted to know which man distracted her from him and he already began to consider how he should deal with it.

“You.” Murong Xue replied brightly, raising a smile.

As she had been around him for some time, Murong Xue learned that he was not that difficult to get along with.

Instead, there were many times as long as she did not argue with him and talked to him nicely, he would be very easy-going.

Gradually, she had found her own way to get along with him.

For instance, some sweet words were enough to calm him down when he was in a bad mood like now.

The turbulence in Shangguan Mo’s eyes finally rested in peace.

Never mind. They had so much time ahead of them.

Seeing him re-enter the shower room, Murong Xue was confused yet affirmative that something was wrong with Shangguan Mo.

The International Stone Gambling Assembly was held.

Different from the one in A province, the International Stone Gambling Assembly held in the capital was of greater scale, magnificent and splendid. Covering more than 10,000 acres, the exhibition hall seemed to be boundless. People who had access to this event were all influential and from all walks of life, including distinguished guests from other countries, so heavy security was in place to guarantee which one could enter.

In terms of social status, Murong Xue was unqualified to attend this event. Fortunately, she obtained admittance by winning the title of Jade Archer in A province. Some people had come to verify her identity information and have her registered before she was informed by a call that she was permitted to enter the hall. It was not hard to imagine how grand this event was going to be.

Shangguan Mo had some business to deal with, so he sent Ye Feng with her and he would arrive later. As for Ye Liu, he had some errands to do.

When Murong Xue approached the entrance and saw Chu Lingling, she was speechless about her bad luck.

“Do you know who I am? If you don’t let me in, believe it or not, I promise there will be no place for you in the capital.” Chu Lingling almost lost her mind. No one in the capital did not know that she was the Miss from the Chu Family, and this d*mn guard should stop her and ask for the invitation letter. Only her brother got invited, but he was unwilling to take her together with him. He told their grandfather that she was not allowed to go here because she would get into trouble.

The International Stone Gambling Assembly was a gathering of the upper class. If Chu Lingling could not get in, she would be a joke to her peers.

Murong Xue felt rather pleased with this scene.

All of a sudden, Chu Lingling turned her head around as if she had sensed Murong Xue’s gaze. The smile on Murong Xue’s face made her even more embarrassed. The thought of making a fool of herself in front of Murong Xue made her simmer with rage.

“What are you laughing at? Do you even know what place this is? Dressing like this to seduce men here? Forget it. They won’t let you in.” Chu Lingling mistook her as some rich gold-diggers looking for their targets in high-end places.

But people attending this event were all wearing formal dresses. After all, wearing the dress code was the most basic rule for such a high-level international event. Even Chu Lingling herself was wearing a purple backless full dress with a curly bow, which made her more elegant together with a diamond necklace.

However, she was completely overshadowed by Murong Xue, who was wearing a white strapless dress. A light-red embroidered belt with hook flowers showed to advantage to her waistline and gracious posture, bringing out the best in her soft skin. The lower pleated hem danced to her paces, leaving charming lotus flowers behind.

Moreover, Murong Xue wore her long hair in a bun and matched it with an earring made of polished spun gold and red jade. Petals of the earring were giving out golden light and setting off the beautiful color of her black hair.

Chu Lingling was mad with envy. Both of them were dressed up, but Murong Xue was really up a notch. She was wondering what Murong Xue had sacrificed in exchange for this outfit. Such a ragtag had the audacity to show up here. This place was not for people like her.

She would have destroyed Murong Xue’s seductive face if Chu Yisen hadn’t come later last time. If so, Murong Xue would have nothing to tempt others. D*mn.

Nevertheless, Murong Xue was not in the mood for any quarrel. She just wanted to take the rare chance today to enrich her experience and purchase some fine jades. Without any response to Chu Lingling’s defiance, she handed her invitation letter to the guard, who carefully checked, nodded, and let her in despite his surprise.

The joke Chu Lingling was waiting for did not go as she expected, and things were beyond her belief. She had investigated her background before and it showed that Murong Xue was just from some wealthy family in A province, which was no match for her family. “Why did she have the invitation letter? Did Chu Yisen give it to her?” She thought.

“You are shameless. Did you take my family’s invitation letter?” Chu Lingling snatched it out of the guard’s hands and opened the invitation letter, only to find Murong Xue’s name instead of the Chu Family’s.

Murong Xue entered the exhibition hall with Ye Feng while Chu Lingling froze because of shock. Everyone invited could take someone with him or her, but the check-in place had to be informed in advance.

Murong Xue was thrilled to see the colorful glowing of the raw materials. It was truly an international event. People here were humbler and politer, and everyone she met gave her a friendly smile, which made her feel as if in an international social banquet.

Murong Xue changed her attitude and became more serious. Her manners were flawed yet decent, and her young age made many people think highly of her. Those who had met Ye Feng were also wondering who she was.

Rules here were different from in A province. The International Stone Gambling Assembly only allowed bidding and auction. The first floor was for bidding while the second floor was for auction. Besides, there were various booths of raw materials by famous providers from all over the country, and people could trade freely with cash on delivery.

Murong Xue was more interested in raw materials from the booths instead of those for bidding and auction, in which the latter was far more expensive than the former. Since she had the perspective function to help pick out the good ones, she was not foolish enough to waste her money.

She squatted to select the raw materials in the booths without worrying about her dress. Usually, women here seldom did this not only because of their dressing but also for etiquette, especially in front of so many marriageable men.

That was also why Murong Xue was so noticeable now.

Generally, women would think it was very vulgar.

But men here appreciate this natural manner and informality and found her serious look quite appealing.

Among the crowd, Chu Yisen spotted Murong Xue, who was shining like the white lotus in the sun.

He whispered to the man next to him and walked up to her, “Xue, you’re here. If I had known you were coming over, I would have come with you.”

His voice startled Murong Xue, who was selecting the raw materials carefully. She looked up and found he was by her side, “Yisen, it’s you.”

Chu Yisen in a white leisure suit appeared to be more handsome today and they looked like a perfect match when he was standing next to Murong Xue.

Their standing together was a feast for the eyes, and they attracted many curious looks, even including gasps of amazement.

“You came to the capital for this event?” Chu Yisen took a closer look at her flowing-white face and almost got carried away.
