An Ning was bored and lying on the sofa after dinner. Just as she was about to continue exploring the mysteries of human inheritance with Lei Ting, An Yang called.
Anyang: "Sis, have you eaten?"
Anning: "I ate, what's wrong?"
Anyang: "You haven't forgotten the Mousse Mountain party tonight, have you?"
An Ning: "No, I'll be there on time..."
An Yang: "Okay, I've broken up with Qi Lier. We're friends now. Don't talk about me with Qi Lier tonight."
An Ning: "Huh? You two only dated for a short time before breaking up?"
An Yang: "Qilier and Prince Xiao Ya of Cherry Kingdom got married quickly, there is no possibility for us anymore."
Anning: "Aren't you sad?"
An Yang: "Don't be sad. I had Liao Qian do a fortune telling for us. We're not a good match. I'm destined to marry late. Okay, I'm hanging up now. See you tonight."
After An Yang hung up the phone, An Ning felt that An Yang's tone was relaxed enough and not too sad. An Ning then called Liao Qian, who was waiting for her call.
Liao Qian: "An Ning, call me about this matter in Anyang."
An Ning: "Um, what's going on between him and Qi Li'er?"
Liao Qian: "An Yang pursued Qi Li'er for over a year. Qi Li'er accepted him after receiving the figurine brought by Lei Ting. Unexpectedly, Councilor Zeus arranged for Qi Li'er to meet and marry Prince Xiao Ya of Cherry Kingdom. There are too many twists and turns in this story to explain in a few words. Qi Li'er and An Yang have already broken up. Don't worry, An Yang isn't heartbroken."
Anning: "He called me just now and said he wasn't sad, and his tone was relaxed."
Liao Qian: "An Yang definitely won't be heartbroken. Marrying Qi Lier would require changing your nationality, which is your family's bottom line. An Yang definitely won't agree to it. It's good that you broke up after dating for a few days. I did a divination and they don't have much of a connection. An Yang is destined to marry late."
An Ning: "Well, it's a shame that you broke up after only two days."
Liao Qian: "Anyang is still young, there's no rush."
An Ning: "Okay, see you tonight, Liao Qian."
After hanging up the phone with Liao Qian, An Ning lazily nestled in Lei Ting's arms.
Anning: "It's such a pity that we broke up like this."
Lei Ting: "No one can predict fate. You can still find a good girl in Anyang."
An Ning: "Mmm..."
Lei Ting secretly sent Guo Fan to investigate Zeus's eldest daughter, Qi Lier. Last time, An Yang was very serious when he asked him for advice on pursuing girls. Her sudden breakup and whirlwind marriage to someone else made An Yang's calmness seem a bit off. It must be more than just a political marriage for Qi Lier.
While waiting for Guo Fan's reply, An Ning's dress arrived. Lei Ting took it in and unfolded it to look at it. It was a light pink, straight-shoulder, puffy dress that Allen had made for her. An Ning felt that the dress looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. She didn't think much of it and hung it in the drying room. A gray, straight-buttoned robe was Lei Ting's outfit for tonight. Ever since Liang Ting took Allen as his apprentice, Allen's design creativity had increased significantly. His ingenious combination of Chinese and Western styles made his creations sought after by various nobles, and his value soared again. He was already an industry leader, and now no one in the world could match him.
Anning: "Honey, this dress looks like the style that Gu Li's wife likes to wear."
Lei Ting: "Really? I didn't notice her when I saw her at the hospital last time. If you don't like it, we won't wear it tonight."
Anning: "All the nobles are here tonight. It wouldn't be good if I wore the same outfit as Ariel. Let's pick something else instead. Put this one away."
Thunder: "Okay, which one of the ones I brought from home do you want to wear?"
Lei Ting opened the clothing display case, and An Ning suffered from decision paralysis. Wearing these Hanfu and Ruqun to Musi Mountain was a bit inappropriate; they were too eye-catching. An Ning pouted and picked out several pieces, but none of them were suitable.
Anning: "Why don't you wear that tulle skirt instead?"
Thunder: "By the way, baby, look at this one. Do you remember this one? The haute couture fairy gray tulle dress that the celebrity you really liked wore on the red carpet. You bought it but haven't worn it since. How do you look in this?"
Anning: "The fairy tulle dress is pretty, but I don't want to wear the same one as others."
Thunder: "That's easy. Come on, I'll put a layer of Baroque purple pearls on her skirt so it won't be the same style. Come on."
Lei Ting took off the dress, pulled out a large handful of Baroque pearls from the decorative pearls under the display case, carefully selected the colors, and slowly threaded the silver thread into the hem of the dress, then threaded the pearls in one by one. The light gauze that was originally flowing in the wind was transformed into a straight skirt with irregular drape.
Anning tried it on and found that she could freely change the rules of the silver threads and pearls, transforming it into a lotus leaf skirt or wrapping the pearls in slightly rolled gauze.
Thunder: "Baby, do you like it?"
Anning: "I love it so much! This color matches your gray robe perfectly. Hehe, Thunder, I really love it."
Thunder: "If you like it, that's good. Guo Fan replied to my message, let's take a look."
Anning: "Okay, sure."
An Ning took off her dress and lay in Lei Ting's arms. The information Guo Fan had found made An Ning squint her eyes.
It's true that the Zeus family is passionate about charity, but they've always been constrained by the Northern Irish royal family's control and taxes. As the manager of Zeus Charity, Chiriel wanted to elevate the family's reputation, so she recruited many overseas politicians to advise them. One of these politicians from the Kingdom of Catherine was found to be corrupt. During the investigation, it was discovered that he had connections with the Northern Irish Zeus councilor. He had even advised the councilor to incite war to highlight the Zeus family's philanthropic spirit, hoping to overshadow the royal family and launch a coup to install the Zeus councilor as the head of the royal family. The Zeus family's efforts weren't limited to interfering in politics; they also wanted all the royal privileges and public support. This rumor had been circulating in Catherine for a long time. However, unlike the people of Northern Ireland, the people of Catherine didn't perceive the Zeus family as philanthropic. On the contrary, the Zeus family's philanthropic work was heavily publicized, leading many to accuse them of hypocrisy.
