evening.
When Si Muyan returned home, Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Madam, when will dinner be served?"
Just as I was about to say I would wait for Huo Si to come back, I remembered that he was on a business trip.
Since they got married, they have eaten almost every dinner together.
"I'm going to take a shower and will be down right away." Si Muyan responded with a smile.
Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Si Muyan returned to the room and looked at her phone which was still as quiet as a chicken.
Lying on the soft bed, Si Muyan looked at the ceiling: "I wonder what he is doing, is he very busy?"
I wanted to call him, but I was afraid of disturbing him at work.
After struggling for a long time, Si Muyan finally gave up.
After dinner, she returned to her room to read. She would officially start her internship at the hospital next month, and before that, she had to study hard to avoid a bad grade on her first hospital entrance exam.
Time ticked by, and Si Muyan always looked at her phone inadvertently, but there was no movement.
Seeing that it was already eleven o'clock, Si Muyan finally couldn't help but picked up her phone and called him.
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally connected. Then, Huo Si's slightly hoarse voice came through: "Hello."
"Brother Si, are you still busy?" Si Muyan asked with concern.
Huo Si hummed: "Just finished taking a shower."
"Is today a busy day?"
"Yeah." Huo Si's voice was filled with obvious fatigue. "This is a difficult matter. It will take two or three days."
Hearing this, Si Muyan's heart skipped a beat: It takes so long!
"Then you won't be able to come back on Friday?" Si Muyan asked softly.
"The earliest it can arrive is Saturday." Huo Si answered truthfully.
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and Si Muyan felt lost, but she still tried to smile: "Work is important. Brother Si, don't be too tired, don't collapse from exhaustion."
Huo Si could hear her frustration: "I'll try to get back on Friday."
"No, no. They're not important people, there's no need." Si Muyan replied with a smile, "Are you tired? Rest quickly, I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he hung up in a hurry without waiting for Huo Si to answer.
Holding the phone, Si Muyan sighed softly. She wasn't sad that Huo Si wouldn't be able to make it back on Friday, but sad that they would be separated for so many days.
Seeing that the call was hung up, Huo Si looked at his phone in a daze.
He had been working since arriving in Country M and was very tired, but...
Without resting, Huo Si walked to the study in the suite and continued working.
The dance party on Friday arrived as scheduled. Thinking of seeing their disgusting faces, Si Muyan didn't want to attend. However, she didn't want to be despised and looked down upon by Si Tong.
Early in the morning, Xia Anran hurried over, ready to take Si Muyan to buy clothes.
"Actually, you don't have to buy it." Si Muyan said softly.
"How can you not buy it? You have to dress up exquisitely, noblely and beautifully today to outdo that little bitch Si Tong." Xia Anran said.
Si Muyan explained with a faint smile: "Because I saw that there are dresses in the cloakroom."
As she spoke, Si Muyan took Xia Anran to the cloakroom.
Seeing the huge cloakroom, Xia Anran was shocked: "As expected of the CEO of Huo's Group, this is too luxurious."
When she opened the floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, she was stunned.
The wardrobe is overflowing with clothes, all from luxury brands. One cabinet contains about ten stunning dresses, all haute couture.
Picking up one of them, Xia Anran was shocked: "I've seen this one in a magazine before. It's this year's new haute couture style. It's like wearing a house on your body. Huo Si is simply inhumane."
"It turns out it's so expensive." Si Muyan didn't know much about this. It was the first time she knew that the clothes here were so expensive.
"No need to buy clothes, any one of these can blind their eyes." Xia Anran said.
After careful selection, the two chose a black swan dress.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Anran took Si Muyan to do her styling and makeup, determined to make her Muyan the most beautiful girl in the audience.
The ball was held in a garden villa, and Si Nan and his wife brought Si Tong to welcome the guests.
Si Tong was dressed beautifully tonight, with exquisite makeup, a one-shoulder white dress, and a dazzling necklace around her neck, looking like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
It was obvious that the Si family had invested heavily this time. However, it was worth it. Among all the female guests present, Si Tong stood out.
Also, the Si family did not invite any beautiful socialites, so as not to steal the limelight from Si Tong.
Si Tong wore a sweet smile and gently held Zhao Wei's hand. She was very happy because many men looked at her as if she was the focus of the crowd.
She was secretly proud of herself, thinking that she had made sufficient preparations tonight and would surely be able to enter a wealthy family in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Si Muyan had not shown up, Si Tong looked at her with sarcasm.
"Why hasn't Si Muyan come yet?"
"Maybe she thinks her mother's birthday is not important." Si Tong said softly.
Hearing this, Zhao Wei snorted coldly: "I don't care whether she comes or not. If I didn't want her to be your background, I wouldn't want her to spoil the fun."
Before she finished speaking, Si Muyan's soft voice rang out: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Ms. Zhao. I'm here to spoil your fun."
Si Tong raised her head proudly, but when she saw Si Muyan, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Si Muyan wore a black princess evening gown that was above the knees, revealing her slender, white legs, which complemented the black dress perfectly.
