Chapter 216 The Masked Ball
A cocktail party hosted by the An Group.
Luo Shu wore a white evening gown, and for convenience, she wore diamond-studded low-heeled shoes with silver ribbons wrapped around her ankles and tied with pretty bows at the back.
The gown's skirt was decorated with feathers, resembling an elegant white swan. With each step, the skirt swayed gently, exuding a tender aura, like a captivating painting, as if she were a fairy from heaven, mesmerizing and enchanting.
Yu Yu took her arm, and the two walked into the venue together.
Every corner of the banquet hall was filled with laughter and joy. It was a grand feast for the eyes and the palate, a dazzling night where wealth and power intertwined, and the splendor of the wealthy family reached its peak at this moment.
I knew the An Group was powerful, but I never expected a single banquet to be such a grand affair.
Ye Fou saw Luo Shu and Yu Yu as soon as they entered.
His gaze followed them as they moved, and just as he was about to go up to them, a powerful figure appeared out of nowhere and tripped him up.
Just then, An'an welcomed them in.
An'an's belly is already quite noticeable; her lower abdomen is protruding. At six months, she looks to be developing very well.
The glass in her hand contained milk; at the An family's place, no one dared to offer her a toast.
"Long time no see, I missed you all so much!" An'an's face was rosy, and she didn't look like she was divorced at all.
Not long ago, when An'an was planning to file for divorce, Jin Huawen finally agreed to the divorce and gave most of the property to An'an. However, he still appeared by An'an's side often as before, accompanying her.
An'an didn't even glance at him.
Luo Shu smiled faintly, as if she had repeated An An's mistake.
She gently touched her flat stomach.
Not many people know she's pregnant yet, and she doesn't plan to make it public, since it seems some people already know about Yu Zhan.
"What would you like to drink?" An'an waved and called over a waiter.
Luo Shu took a cup of hot milk just like An An, and Yu Yu took one as well.
"What, you two have left the monastic life?" An'an teased.
"My period is coming soon, I can't neglect myself." Yu Yu pursed her lips. "Let's go get something to eat!"
Yu Yu's gaze fell on Luo Shu. They hadn't eaten much when they came out in the afternoon, so Luo Shu's stomach must be upset right now.
Recently, she has had a great appetite and no morning sickness. She seems to be doing quite well and not in such a bad situation.
An'an took Luo Shu's hand, and the three of them walked together toward the food area on the side.
"My goodness, why aren't you saying anything? Where's your husband? He should be coming tonight, why didn't you come with him?" An'an seemed to notice the subtle emotions on her face.
"Did you two have a fight?" she asked.
Just as Luo Shu was about to say something, she saw the man walk in from the door.
The man exuded an air of elegance and nobility, like a nobleman who had stepped out of a European castle.
His high, straight nose and sensual thin lips formed an impeccably handsome face. The custom-made suit that Luo Shu had tailored for him perfectly showcased his mature charm, and his every move exuded aristocratic elegance.
Just before Luo Shu looked away, her gaze met his deep eyes.
The man paused slightly, his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He stared intently at the woman, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
She really came today.
She's as charming as ever.
"Mr. Yu."
His thoughts were interrupted by Shen Yan beside him, and he reluctantly withdrew his lingering gaze.
Luo Shu then withdrew her gaze, seemingly unmoved.
Yu Yu also noticed Shen Yan, but she didn't give him a friendly look. She just glanced at him briefly before looking away.
Their relationship has been unilaterally ended by Yu.
Shen Yan returned yesterday, intending to go and apologize to someone, but Su Ting took advantage of the moment she went to the restroom after getting off the plane and ran away.
They brought people back in a car, and dared not openly kidnap them; they could only search secretly.
He had been busy all night and slept for less than five hours. When Yu Zhan told him that Yu Yu would be coming, he followed him.
An'an figured it out, so she didn't ask any more questions and led the two to a private room to eat.
"The food outside isn't as good as what you get here. My dad specially had it prepared for me. He knew you were coming, so he prepared extra."
Her father was a complete doting father, spoiling her rotten, especially after Jin Huawen's betrayal, he became even more attentive to An'an.
The three of them sat in the private room enjoying the delicious food.
"There will be a lot of young masters coming out tonight. There's a masked ball later, so don't miss it!" An An said with a mischievous smile.
"A masked ball?" Yu Yu asked with interest.
I knew there was a ball when I received the invitation, so I spent a long time choosing a dress and even did a little dance practice today.
How could Yu possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?
"It's a pity, I'm heavily pregnant now, people can recognize me at a glance, so no one will dance with me." An'an took a sip of milk.
"Otherwise, I would definitely change a few male companions to have some fun," she murmured.
Luo Shu chuckled.
An An used to be a conservative young lady from a well-to-do family. But after meeting Jin Huawen, all her good temper was worn away by him. Now she is tough when faced with someone strong, and she will turn on him when necessary.
After they had eaten their fill, they went to the bustling banquet hall, which was brightly lit, filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and the aroma of wine wafting from the clinking glasses, spreading among the crowd in Xuanhua.
The ball had already begun, and everyone was all smiles, wearing masks.
An'an also gave each of them a mask and put it on them with great enthusiasm.
As the music began, people started entering the dance floor. The men were tall and imposing, and the women were charming and graceful. They moved through the crowd, their eyes sparkling and dazzling.
Luo Shu seemed extremely uncomfortable. Just as she was hesitating whether to leave, Yu Yu, who was beside her, was pulled away by a masked man.
Yu offered no resistance.
"..." What a scumbag.
Luo Shu walked to the bar and sat down.
"Nice physique, quite toned." Yu Yu slightly raised her head, looking at the man in front of her who was completely covered by a mask.
Her hands were restless, stroking the man's arm.
The man smiled, but didn't say anything. He tightened his grip on her waist and led her to the dance floor to dance with her.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Yu Yu hooked his shoulder nail with her fingernail.
The man's breathing became noticeably rapid, and the temperature of his palms rose sharply.
"You didn't like me?" she couldn't help but wonder.
Yu Yu isn't exactly strikingly beautiful, but she's very pleasing to the eye and has a stunning figure. She also puts a lot of effort into maintaining her appearance, and whenever she dresses up a little, she's surrounded by men.
"All right……"
Yu Yu was disappointed; this kind of man's physique must feel great to the touch!
He does resemble that guy Shen Yan a bit.
Just as she wanted to change dance partners, they danced to the edge of the dance floor. The man let go of her and pulled her into a corner.
Yu Yu exclaimed in surprise, but the music on the dance floor drowned out her voice. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already been pulled into a private room.
"Hmm..."
He took off the mask.
