"Bai Zhu! Come here quickly!"
In a corner of the garden, several girls waved eagerly at Bai Shu. Bai Shu put down what she was holding and went over, but when they were still a few steps away, they quickly ran out and pulled Bai Shu back.
Hiding behind the bushes, still shaken, he patted his chest and said fearfully, "This is the Xiao family, Bai Shu, don't run around. Our operation is still safe."
"Yes, it's Young Master Xiao's birthday today. I heard he's going to introduce his fiancée to everyone in public..."
"On such a big day, everyone in Beijing's high society would love to come, so why did we receive invitations?"
The girls were completely bewildered, while Bai Shu's eyes darted around.
Just as they said, today is Xiao Lingchen's birthday party, and he told Bai Shu early this morning that he would announce her identity to the public.
Bai Shu knew this day would come sooner or later. Although she was nervous, seeing that everything had been arranged properly and meticulously, the slight tension in her heart slowly dissipated.
To appease Bai Shu, Xiao Lingchen suggested inviting half of Bai Shu's classmates from the school, but Bai Shu quickly stopped him from doing so.
She has always preferred to keep a low profile, and because she hadn't told her friends and classmates about her identity, she was initially embarrassed to say so, but now she doesn't know how to bring it up. In the end, she agreed to invite only her classmates and close friends.
"I heard that Young Master Xiao's fiancée is from our class, which is why our class all received invitations this time."
"Wow! Who is she? She kept it a secret for so long. With the identity of the Crown Princess, she has kept it hidden for three years. She is so low-key."
Bai Shu just smiled when she heard this, and after a moment she smiled and said, "Everyone will know when the time comes. Since she doesn't say it, it means she doesn't want everyone to treat her as some special person. No matter what her status is, we will always be close friends and classmates."
She arrived a little late because she had just attended a court hearing and hadn't eaten. Fortunately, Xiao Lingchen had prepared several gorgeous dresses for her long ago.
They were all sent in for measurements and then hand-sewn by internationally renowned masters, adorned with sparkling rhinestones. Bai Zhu didn't know the price, but just thinking about it, one could guess how breathtaking it must have been.
According to the procedure, she first settled her friends in, then changed her clothes, and finally, when Xiao Lingchen made the announcement, she took his hand and slowly and gracefully made her entrance.
The girls didn't believe Bai Shu's words, but they smiled and pulled her to find something to eat.
"These kinds of buffet hotel banquets often have huge dessert tables. This hotel is five-star, so the food must be amazing... Didn't you say you didn't eat lunch? Let's find something to eat first—mmm, great! Bai Shu, come quick, try this little cake!"
Bai Shu's deskmate was drawn to a piece of red velvet cake. She had just swallowed it when she couldn't wait to call out to Bai Shu, wanting to share it with her.
Bai Shu knew this was her deskmate's kind intention, and smiled as she turned to go over. But just as she lifted her foot, she heard a sweet laugh behind her:
"I was wondering where these country bumpkins came from. Not only did they not wear formal attire to an event like this, but they were also staring at the desserts like gluttons. How did you even get these invitations?"
The group turned around at the sound. The person at the table was already showing anger, but when they saw the face of the person who had asked them to speak, fear quickly replaced their anger.
“Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao Le… This, this is Miss Qiao Le, a cousin of the Xiao family—”
