Chapter 1288: Have Your Back
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyo-Bo Studio
It was the first big party being held by Miss Yan Jiaren after her return to China. She had invited quite a number of
the finest celebrities, heirs, and heiresses from upper-class society in Jingdu to her party. With the status of the
Jiangs as the third most established noble family, coupled with the prestige of the Yan family in Jingdu, even if
people did not know who Yan Jiaren was, they would still attend out of respect for the two families.
With a crowd like that, the party was bound to be a hit.
This was also the reason why Yun Xi had boldly chosen to use this ball for her ploy. More important, Yan Jiaren
was Jiang Chenghuan’s cousin, so she didn’t have to worry about being implicated in the process.
Even if someone was offended in the process, it wouldn’t really be her offending them, it would be Liang Xiuqin. If
Yun Yuanfeng did want her to appease anyone, she could simply tell Jiang Chenghuan about it and let them stay
anxious fora good ten days. The thought of it made her feel rather satisfied.
But, most important, it hadn’t been long since Yan Jiaren had returned to China and her private life was pretty low
key. No matter how well-informed Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling were, it was impossible for them to know so soon
that the boutique where they had stolen the dress had been opened by Yan Jiaren. Who knows, she might just steal
the attention of the crowd gathered here today to promote her own clothing line.
What’s more, Yun Ziling and Liang Xiuqin were the ones who were dying to come to this party. She was simply
pushing the boat along the current. Sure, they could take advantage of her, but could they afford the price tag that
came with it?
Since she was taking on the job as a waitress at the banquet, Yun Xi and Jiang Chenghuan agreed to meet
beforehand at the hotel.
The banquet was to be held on the first floor, and Mu Feichi and Yun Xi had agreed he would wait for her in the
VIP room on the third floor. She should look for him there when the party was over. He was afraid that Yan Jiaren
might latch herself onto him if she saw him.
After getting out of the car, Yun Xi couldnt stop herselt from mischievously knocking on the car window and
saying teasingly, “Young Commander, are you really not coming in to see Miss Yan Jiaren? I hear she’s
super-famous and a talented beauty at that.
Standing by the car door, Yun Xi looked at the man sitting in the back seat with the window wound down. They
were in a remote corner of the hotel compound, which was also a blind spot. It was not easy to spot who was in
the car, so they both spoke brazenly.
“Isn’t there one standing in front of me right now? Why do I need to go into the hotel to see another one? Am I
supposed to eat from the bowl while having my eyes on the pot! Are you sure that’s a good look for me, babe
“Uh… He made a solid point and she simply could not refute him.
What she hated most was the type of men who had one foot in two different boats. Fortunately, Mu Feichi was
just the opposite. If he had made up his mind, he would be dead set on the one and would not change his mind easily.
A dedicated heart was precisely what made a man even more charming and admirable.
Okay, go enjoy the show. If anything happens, I will be there to help you
Tm not going to get involved with today’s affairs. Besides, no one will recognize me in a mask at a masquerade
ball, so I’m not going to dip my feet into the muddy waters.
The corner of Mu Feichi’s lips perked up ever so slightly. Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her close and
kissed her hard on her lips. “Just do whatever you want to do and don’t worry. Even if all h*ll breaks loose in there,
IIl have your back!”
TII bet you’re the only person in all of Jingdu who would dare speak like that!”
Only the young military commander, Mu Feichi, could be so overbearing and unreasonable.
AS she retracted her hand, she patted Mu Feichi on his head like he was a pet. “Don’t worry, I won’t dig a pothole
for myself to fall into.”
Yun Xi watched Mu Feichï’s car drive into the underground parking lot before turning around. Then she entered
the hotel and reported herself to the front desk.
Standing by the concierge, Yun Xi saw the hotel manager hurrying to the elevator after receiving a call. He was
likely headed toward the underground parking lot to greet Mu Feichi at the entrance of the elevator lobby. The
sight seemed rather amusing to her.
Not long after she had arrived, Yumo came walking in.
Yun Xi! Why did you come so early? Are you really going to be a waitress
Yun Xi glanced at her wool coat and sweatpants. She certainly did not look like she was here for a ball.
Why aren’t you in a dress? Don’t tell me you’ve come to join me as a waitress?”
“Mais, oui! How could you not count on me for a good show!”
