Dong Enyu decided to attend the banquet.
She and Luo Ye walked into a dress rental shop.
As soon as they stepped inside, a shop assistant came out to greet them.
Upon seeing Dong Enyu, the assistant enthusiastically invited her to the reception room and immediately brought out five photo albums, all containing the shop’s dress catalog.
Dong Enyu looked through a few and asked the assistant to help her try on some dresses.
Standing in the fitting room, Dong Enyu took off all her clothes, leaving only her underwear on.
The assistant brought over a dress and helped Dong Enyu put it on.
Luo Ye sat with her arms crossed on a chaise lounge, her baseball cap pulled low, obscuring her face.
Dong Enyu wore a light blue dress, with a conservative design that didn’t reveal much skin, but the tight fit accentuated her curves, highlighting her graceful feminine figure.
“What do you think?”
Dong Enyu turned around, seeking Luo Ye’s opinion.
Before Luo Ye could speak, the female shop assistant clapped her hands and laughed, “Miss, your figure is amazing! This dress really highlights your silhouette! If you wear this to the event, you’ll surely outshine everyone!”
She spoke with such enthusiasm that Dong Enyu just smiled and thanked her.
“Luo Ye, what do you think?”
Dong Enyu asked again, looking past the shop assistant.
“Hmm.”
Just one word, hmm.
Dong Enyu raised an eyebrow, unzipped the dress, and said, “No worries, let’s try another one.”
She took off the light blue dress, and the assistant quickly brought another one for her to try on.
This time it was a bright red dress with an open back design, adorned with sparkling rhinestones that caught the eye.
Dong Enyu was quite pleased with how she looked in it.
Gorgeous enough.
“Not bad, this one has presence.”
Dong Enyu flashed a smug smile, striking a pose in front of the mirror.
“So beautiful! Miss, your elegance perfectly matches this dress! Many customers have tried it before, but none have looked as fitting as you! It’s truly an eye-opener!”
The assistant praised her enthusiastically, making Dong Enyu a bit embarrassed.
She was about to ask for Luo Ye’s opinion but saw in the mirror that Luo Ye was still sitting motionless on the chair.
“Forget it, let’s try another one.”
She decisively took off the dress.
“Huh?”
The assistant thought Dong Enyu had decided on this one, but her expression changed, and she wanted to try another.
“My friend doesn’t think much of it, let’s try another one, shall we?”
Dong Enyu smiled at the assistant, who didn’t dare say much more.
The assistant obediently brought over the last dress for Dong Enyu to try on.
This final dress was entirely satin black, with the fabric shimmering under the fluorescent lights.
The cut hugged her waist, accentuating her feminine allure.
The low-cut design subtly hinted at a seductive allure, making the overall look simple yet elegant, capturing attention with its understated brilliance.
“Luo Ye, what do you think of this one?”
Dong Enyu didn’t wait for the assistant’s praise and walked over to Luo Ye.
She didn’t answer, just slightly tilted her head to look at Dong Enyu approaching, the shadow under her baseball cap hiding her eyes.
“Hmm.”
Again, just a hmm.
“Let’s go with this one.”
Dong Enyu suddenly turned back and smiled because she knew no matter how many she tried, Luo Ye would only respond with hmm.
No need to waste more time.
“Yes!”
The assistant swiftly stepped forward to take Dong Enyu’s credit card and then left the fitting room to check out.
Since Dong Enyu was going to wear it to the banquet immediately, she didn’t plan to change out of it.
After the assistant left, Dong Enyu boldly sat on Luo Ye’s lap.
She was still dressed the same, black pants with a military jacket, and a baseball cap on her head.
This look left a deep impression on Dong Enyu’s mind, as Luo Ye always presented herself this way unless they were at home.
“Aren’t you going to change?”
Dong Enyu crossed her legs and casually asked.
“No need.”
Luo Ye’s deep voice was alluring, creating an illusion of striking the heart.
“This is a formal occasion. If you don’t change into a dress, at least wear a suit, otherwise it’s impolite.”
Dong Enyu reached out to take off Luo Ye’s hat, but Luo Ye grabbed her hand, pulling it to her collar and lightly biting it.
The pressure was just right, and the sensation of her teeth grazing made Dong Enyu feel a bit restless.
Luo Ye was more flirtatious than she thought, just like now.
She straightened up, pulling Dong Enyu into her arms, kissing her fingers while enjoying the silky feel of the dress.
“No need.”
The whisper-like volume reached Dong Enyu’s ears, making her feel a bit weak.
Dong Enyu originally wanted to ask Luo Ye if she thought she looked best naked, but feeling the hand wandering around her waist, she quickly dismissed the idea.
She didn’t mind making love with Luo Ye, but not now, so when the shop assistant walked into the fitting room, Dong Enyu had already left Luo Ye’s lap.
That night, Luo Ye drove a sleek black sports car to the banquet venue.
It was at the home of a wealthy businessman in the North District, a luxurious standalone villa on a hilltop, with an impressive front yard.
Dong Enyu held Luo Ye’s arm, elegantly walking into the hall.
The high-ceiling design was like a hotel lobby, with hanging crystal chandeliers exuding an exotic charm, making Dong Enyu smile.
It was an upper-class party.
As soon as they entered the venue, Qi Ge immediately spotted Luo Ye.
Holding a glass of champagne, he waved at Luo Ye from afar.
Qi Ge was dressed in a suit tonight, looking quite dapper.
Occasionally, brothers from the streets would attend such high-end banquets, appearing as friends of wealthy businessmen, but secretly engaging in shady dealings.
Dong Enyu knew this all too well.
She noticed Qi Ge’s gaze drifting over and nodded in acknowledgment.
Dong Enyu wore a black dress she had picked out that afternoon, with a silver necklace around her neck.
Her hair was neatly pinned up, and her ears adorned with sparkling diamond earrings.
It wasn’t flashy, but it was very elegant.
“Is that Dong Enyu?”
Qi Ge asked with a hint of doubt.
After seeing Dong Enyu blink, he smiled and said, “Wow! I couldn’t tell before, but you’re stunning after dressing up. Even more beautiful than at Star Diamond, like a goddess.”
Qi Ge lifted Dong Enyu’s hand and placed a gentlemanly kiss on the back of it.
“Thank you for the compliment,” Dong Enyu accepted the tribute with ease.
After kissing her hand, Qi Ge didn’t let go but instead wrapped an arm around Dong Enyu’s waist, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.
“Mind if I borrow your subordinate?” he asked Luo Ye.
Luo Ye didn’t respond, simply leaving on her own, which seemed to be an agreement, right?
“Come on, I’ll introduce you to a few Old Men,” Qi Ge naturally led Dong Enyu away, heading towards the center of the hall.
Surprisingly, Qi Ge knew quite a few wealthy businessmen and seemed to have a good rapport with them.
His demeanor was nothing like his usual rogue self, which left Dong Enyu a bit surprised.
While they were chatting with a few men, Luo Ye sat on a chair by the wall, legs crossed, her eyes in the shadows constantly watching Dong Enyu’s figure until someone more intriguing caught her attention at the door…
It was Zhao Han.
Brother Peng and Zhao Han were also attending the banquet.
Brother Peng wore a gray suit, his robust body standing tall, and he was quite handsome.
Unfortunately, standing next to Zhao Han, all attention was drawn to her beauty.
Tonight, she wore a dark purple form-fitting evening gown, with long sleeves that exuded elegance and grace.
A set of pearl necklaces adorned her chest, radiating a full luster.
She hadn’t pinned up her long hair, and her ink-black locks flowed like a waterfall, outlining the soft curves that a woman should have.
Unfortunately, she wore black-framed glasses, and the gaze beneath the lenses remained cold, making people prefer to avoid her.
As soon as Zhao Han entered the hall, she quickly noticed Luo Ye’s presence.
She only glanced at Luo Ye before searching the banquet hall for someone.
That person was naturally Dong Enyu.
“Old Peng is here too, quite late. Let’s go say hello,” Qi Ge turned with Dong Enyu in tow, heading towards Brother Peng.
When Brother Peng saw him, he walked over with Zhao Han.
“You’re quite the busy man, even arriving late,” Qi Ge teased with a smile, though being late didn’t really matter.
“Haha, couldn’t help it, spent a bit more time getting ready,” Brother Peng raised his glass to toast Qi Ge.
Seeing them chat, Dong Enyu sensibly took a step back, also glancing at Zhao Han and nodding in greeting.
Zhao Han didn’t respond, but her eyes directly scanned Dong Enyu up and down.
If others saw, they might think Dong Enyu had stolen Zhao Han’s date, otherwise, there was no reason for such a cold gaze.
But Dong Enyu was used to it; Zhao Han was like that, as if she’d die if she didn’t glare at people, always looking at her like she was a mortal enemy.
Dong Enyu didn’t let her stare for long because the lights dimmed, and the host began speaking in the center of the hall.
The banquet was extremely dull, and Dong Enyu didn’t see any big shots, just small business groups from the North District.
Qi Ge chatted with a few big bosses, and she stood by nodding in agreement.
After a few hours, Dong Enyu was about to fall asleep.
Finally, Qi Ge finished socializing and led Dong Enyu to the balcony for some fresh air.
The spring evening breeze was very refreshing, blowing away the smell of alcohol from Qi Ge.
He had drunk quite a bit during the conversations but wasn’t drunk.
“You’re an exceptional woman,” Qi Ge suddenly said, turning his head to look at Dong Enyu, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
“Thank you,” Dong Enyu replied politely.
“No, I mean it. Watching you handle things tonight, you’re definitely not a simple person. It’s a waste for you to be running goods with Luo Ye,” Qi Ge shook his head, loosening his tie and leaning against the balcony railing, looking directly at Dong Enyu.
“You’ve seen those goods, they’re tasks assigned by the Boss. I don’t usually deal with goods, just play with Night Club profits.”
Dong Enyu crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow as she watched Qi Ge, waiting for him to continue.
“I have an idea. How about you manage the place for me?”
Qi Ge smiled, not entirely sincere, but not joking either.
Manage the place…
“You take over the Night Club, and you’ll be part of Wutang,” he squinted his eyes, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it, taking a puff.
“Don’t worry, I’m not like Han Ge, the old fox. The Night Clubs I mentioned are all legitimate businesses, I won’t throw you garbage to manage.”
Clearly, he was referring to Han Ge letting her manage the Bar.
“So, what do you think? If you want to establish yourself in Wutang, you should agree,” Qi Ge exhaled smoke like magic, rising into the air and then disappearing.
“There are three Night Clubs that need managing, can you handle it?”
Can she handle it…
