Lu Anning turned around and his eyes fell on his black suit. The style of the cufflinks was different from the ones he wore during the day.
She frowned slightly: "Are you...going out?"
Tang Jingyuan hummed, "Fang Le and Zhou Yao have something to talk to me about. I don't know when they'll be back. You don't have to wait for me tonight."
Lu An Ning stopped him at the stairs, hooked her arms around his neck, and the faint scent of agarwood enveloped her.
"Are you...going out to meet some young lady? You're dressed so formally."
Tang Jingyuan was amused by Lu Anning's aggressive look and asked, "You want to go?"
Lu Anning rolled his eyes and let go of Tang Jingyuan's hand.
"I won't always go to your men's gatherings. Staying up late makes you old quickly. I'd better go upstairs and sleep."
She kissed Tang Jingyuan on the cheek: "Don't chat up with strange young ladies, okay? Even old ladies are not allowed!"
Tang Jingyuan laughed and rubbed Lu Anning's head: "As you wish."
Lu Anning smiled and watched Tang Jingyuan drive away until she could no longer see any light. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and came to her senses. She turned around and went upstairs to change her clothes in one go while contacting Ding Wan.
"The situation has changed! Meet me at the gate of the complex in five minutes."
Lu Anning was wrapped tightly in a pink down jacket. She ran towards the gate of the community at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, holding a spare pair of high heels in her hand. When Ding Wan arrived, Lu Anning just came out.
The cosmetics she needed were already prepared in the car. Ding Wan was amazed by her speed. The two smiled at each other tacitly, and the red Cayenne roared away from Bixi Bay.
"Sister, is this what you wear?"
"Everything inside has been changed."
"Third Master is actually willing to let him go?"
Lu An Ning curled his lips: "What a coincidence. I was just about to tell you that I couldn't go, and he left."
"It seems to be God's will."
Along the way, Lu An Ning had completed her makeup as quickly as possible. The rich colors made her face even more charming and seductive. She was simply a natural fairy. Even Ding Wan couldn't help but be amazed when she saw her.
"Wow! He instantly transformed into the modern-day Su Daji. Does the Third Master know that he has such good fortune?"
Lu Anning glanced at her and said, "I'll take it as a compliment."
The two chatted and laughed all the way, completely unaware of what they would encounter next. As they were about to reach the place mentioned in the invitation, they both put on their masks and drove towards their destination.
The address on the invitation letter was a deserted factory area in the suburbs. If they hadn't seen someone guarding the gate and all kinds of luxury cars parked on the vast wasteland, they would have really suspected that they might have gone to the wrong place.
There were far more people coming than Lu Anning had expected. The densely packed vehicles were lined up in an orderly manner, which could be called a grand luxury car show.
She didn't look carefully. The car stopped at the entrance and the two were asked to get out.
Ding Wan took out the invitation letter and the guard immediately led them in respectfully.
Lu Anning looked around carefully: "Is this the fun place you mentioned? It's so shabby, what's there to do here?"
The waiter smiled and said, "There's a secret place inside. Please come in, my two distinguished guests."
It was only after Lu An Ning went in that he realized what they meant by the secret world inside.
The seemingly abandoned and dilapidated factory was now a completely different, vibrant world. The flickering lights made it difficult for her to open her eyes, and the clamorous noise drowned out her voice. Looking out, the dance floor was filled with young men and women dancing.
A hint of shock flashed in Lu Anning's eyes. The light was too dim and she couldn't see the layout around her. Just looking at the layout inside, she couldn't imagine that the outside was the shell of an abandoned factory.
There were stairs leading upstairs, and each person who went upstairs showed something to the person guarding the entrance.
Everyone here is wearing a mask, and you can't tell who they are just by looking at their figures.
This alone should not be enough to attract these people.
Lu Anning and Ding Wan found a seat and sat down, and a waiter immediately handed them the order.
The two looked at each other, and Ding Wan also didn't understand the rules.
She called to the waiter, "We were invited to the dance, and this is what we got?"
"Dear guests, tonight's dance will begin soon. Please be patient and wait for a moment."
Ding Wan leaned back in her chair, looking uninterested.
"I've spent so much, but I'm not going to waste my time at this kind of party. I'm only interested in your boss's tea. After all, it's effective."
The other party smiled faintly: "Don't worry! Tonight there will definitely be something more amazing than tea for you two. Please be patient and wait for a moment."
What could be more amazing than tea?
Lu An Ning looked at the two glasses of colorful drinks that were served, but he had no intention of tasting them. Ding Wan was about to try them when Lu An Ning stopped her.
"Don't eat this."
She was worried that there might be something wrong with what Bai Lu was selling to these people, and it would be best not to try it until it was confirmed to be safe. Ding Wan understood, pretended to drink it, and pulled Lu An Ning to the dance floor.
The two beautiful figures quickly attracted the attention of others. Ding Wan and Lu Anning were equally good dancers. In just a moment, their tacit partnership attracted the attention of the entire audience, attracting many people to come forward, and some even stepped forward to dance with them.
This scene quickly attracted the attention of the people in the booth upstairs. The slender fingers casually flicked the cigarette ash, and the man's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
"Third brother, look!"
Zhou Yao joked: "A Le, you've forgotten why we're here again! Do you think Third Brother is the same as you?"
"No. Look, that figure, why does it look a bit like my sister-in-law?"
The man leaning on the sofa finally reacted, stood up and looked downstairs. In the lively dance floor, he caught a glimpse of the familiar figure.
A hint of danger flashed in his deep eyes, and his gaze flickered with the sparks between them.
Fang Le laughed recklessly, "Sister-in-law and we have a good understanding. Third brother, sister-in-law's dancing is really good..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly met Tang Jingyuan's cold eyes, his smile froze, and he immediately closed his mouth.
Just as Tang Jingyuan was about to stand up, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and everything around him was pitch black. The only remaining spotlight fell on Lu Anning and Ding Wan in the middle of the dance floor.
Voices came from all directions: "Tonight's masked ball has officially begun! Welcome two beautiful ladies to be the lucky stars of tonight's ball!"
