Sheng Ai was also wearing a gray-blue long-sleeved dress, which matched the color of Ninth Master's clothes quite well.

"Alright, let's go greet Ninth Master together."

Sheng Jiarong and Sheng Ai stood side by side: "Are you and Ninth Master on good terms?"

Sheng Ai thought for a few seconds: "We just met, and I have a good impression of you."

Sheng Jiarong: "What do you think of Ninth Master?"

Sheng Ai: "Very good."

Sheng Jiarong said meaningfully, "If someone can be described as a very good person by you, then that person must be very good."

Sheng Ai nodded: "Ninth Master is indeed very good."

Sheng Jiarong really worked hard.

But he still didn't hear Sheng Ai's heartfelt words.

Therefore, he had no way of knowing whether what Sheng Ai said was true or false.

While the two were talking, they were already very close to Ninth Master.

"Happy 19th birthday, Miss Ai!" Ninth Master spoke first.

Then, as if by magic, he performed a magic trick.

Her previously empty hands now held a pot of water lilies.

"This is a red and blue twin lotus that I cultivated myself. It has just bloomed and I am giving it to Miss Ai."

A collective gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd.

"What a beautiful two-tone lotus! One side is deep red, and the other is light blue. It's so gorgeous!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen a blue lotus flower, it's so beautiful!"

"Not only is it beautiful and rare, but it also smells wonderful, fresh and pleasant, making one feel relaxed and happy..."

"I never knew Ninth Master could cultivate flowers. He's so talented..."

"Ninth Master's feelings for Miss Ai are truly extraordinary..."

...

The moment Sheng Ai saw this pot of twin lotus flowers, her eyes, which had been devoid of any luster or life, suddenly shone with a faint luster.

However, this layer of luster was too thin and too faint, and it vanished in an instant, so no one could detect it.

Oh, that's not quite accurate.

Ninth Master has caught it.

Only he caught it.

"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Sheng Ai extended her hands, which were covered in thin rubber gloves, and accepted the potted twin lotus. "I really like this gift."

"I'm glad Miss Ai likes it." Ninth Master smiled. "I enjoy growing flowers and plants."

"If Miss Ai also likes them, I hope to invite her to see the flowers and plants I have personally grown another day."

Sheng Ai nodded: "I'd be happy to."

Only then did Sheng Jiarong smile and extend his hand: "Welcome, Ninth Master. I am Jiarong, Xiao Ai's elder brother."

He also wanted to address Ninth Master as "Mr. Shi" like Sheng Ai did.

But I don't know why.

Despite Ninth Master's humility and politeness, he felt as if he were looking up at a towering mountain when he stood before him, and dared not utter the words "Sir".

"So it's President Sheng." Ninth Master smiled and extended his hand. "I've heard so much about you."

The two shook hands.

Sheng Jiarong deliberately held Ninth Master's hand for a few more seconds.

"Not at all, Ninth Master is our senior and role model."

"I have long admired Ninth Master, and I am extremely fortunate to meet you now."

Sheng Jiarong was a little disappointed that Ninth Master was wearing thin gloves and couldn't directly touch his body, which somewhat affected his ability to hear Ninth Master's thoughts.

However, at such a close distance, there was indirect physical contact.

He should be able to hear what Ninth Master is thinking...

However……

There was nothing there...

All he heard was... a "voice" as deep and vast as the sky.

It was as if he were standing at the foot of a mountain in the dead of night, gazing up at the endless sky, with no sound around him...

No!

There might be a sound!

The voice was too distant and profound, like an alien whisper; he couldn't hear it, nor could he understand it...

While he was in a daze.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my palm.

He came to his senses and realized that Ninth Master had already shaken off his hand without making a sound.

He gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "Sorry, you are my idol."

"I was so excited to see you that I was a little dazed."

Ninth Master smiled and said, "It's alright."

He looked at Sheng Ai and said, "This is my first visit to the Sheng family. I wonder if I can accompany Miss Sheng?"

Sheng Ai nodded: "Okay."

After that, Ninth Master followed Sheng Ai and watched her greet the guests.

Hiding behind a pillar on the second floor, Sheng Tianxing witnessed this scene and was so jealous she almost ground her teeth to powder.

Could Ninth Master not see Sheng Ai's blankness and lack of spirit?

Why did Ninth Master fall for Sheng Ai?

But this is for the best...

When she impersonates Sheng Ai and approaches Ninth Master later, he won't recognize her as a fake...

Thinking of this, she reached her small hand into the hidden pocket and squeezed the medicine inside.

This was a medicine that she personally had the Shengshi Group's drug research lab prepare for her.

It has a strong aphrodisiac effect...

Once Ninth Master takes this drug, hehe...

On the other side.

Sheng Jiagui, dressed as a servant, has found Jiang Caicai and is serving her wine and dishes with her.

"This thing is too heavy, let me carry it."

"Try it, it's a snack that just came out of the kitchen, and see how it tastes."

"It's alright. The kitchen said we can have a taste test, and they'll only serve other dishes to the guests if they like them."

"That's a flower greenhouse, you can't go in there..."

He was efficient, familiar with the Sheng family's environment, and showed great care for Jiang Caicai.

Jiang Caicai was very touched: "Thank you, No. 09."

"This is my first time attending such a banquet. Without your help, I might have made a mistake."

"Of course," Sheng Jiagui said. "You can ask me anything you don't understand."

"This is a low-alcohol cocktail, it won't get you drunk, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

He was talking to Jiang Caicai when he suddenly noticed someone.

A woman wearing a cheongsam and a tassel mask.

This woman has very fair skin and a curvaceous, sexy figure; you could say she's incredibly alluring.

But this didn't attract him.

What attracted him was a small, bright red mole at the corner of the woman's eye.

Just like the red mole that Jiang Caicai originally had at the corner of her eye!

Just two days ago, he confirmed that Jiang Mengfei had secretly removed the small red mole from the corner of Jiang Caicai's eye and had one made for herself that looked exactly the same...

In addition, Jiang Mengfei has such a charming and sexy figure.

so……

Could the woman wearing that tassel mask be Jiang Mengfei?

How could someone like her manage to sneak into the Sheng family's birthday party?

He's quite capable.

I just hope she doesn't slip up and ruin "Jiang Caicai's" reputation, lest she be unable to enter the Lou family's home...

While Sheng Jiagui was observing Jiang Mengfei.

Jiang Caicai, who was standing next to him, noticed the tall male guest with the leopard mask. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she took the pitcher of cocktails that Sheng Jiagui had handed her and walked towards the leopard male guest.

"Hello, Leopard Guest," she said with a smile. "This is a cocktail the bartender just made. I've had a couple of sips, and it tastes great. Would you like to try some?"

Lou Jia picked up the pitcher of cocktails and poured himself a glass: "That's a must."
