“Prized possession?”

She arched an eyebrow in surprise and questioned, “Then… Why did Mu Yazhe give this to me?”

“Mu…”

She actually called him by his name.

Alan was astonished and looked at her as if she were an alien.

Yun Shishi was just too unique to be true!

No one, including the elites in the capital, dared to call him directly by his name. Everyone would respectfully address him as Master Mu; even then, this term was reserved for a select few.

Most people would address him as CEO Mu or Director Mu.

This Tear of Roses was one-of-the-kind. It was his personal keepsake and held great importance to the man, so Alan was surprised when he had him hand it over to Yun Shishi for use at this night’s gala. Did it mean that this woman had an exceptional place in his heart?

He was not being calculative here. However, if she was Director Mu’s woman, he naturally had to serve her with extra care. She was not someone to be offended.

Fortunately, Yun Shishi was easy to get along with. She was elegant and humble. Compared to most of the big stars he had served before, she was much friendlier.

“Miss Yun, you are really different from the rest when you call Director Mu by his name.” Alan chuckled admiringly.

Resigned, she commented, “He is not a king, and we are not in the Feudal Age. Why can’t we address him by his name?”

Just who is this Mu Yazhe, and why is everybody, including those in power in the capital, so afraid of him?

Alan smilingly said, “Ha ha, Miss Yun, do you know how powerful Director Mu is with his family assets? Common folks like us have no idea.”

He proceeded to put on his gloves as he said this and then carefully held the precious necklace in his hands.

“Miss Yun, this necklace goes with your outfit perfectly. Please don’t move when I put it on you.”

“I don’t want his thing. I don’t!”

She firmly rejected, recalling that the man was her nightmare.

“Miss Yun… please let me do my job! My task is to make you look perfect for this gala. If anything goes wrong…”

He desperately tried to persuade into cooperating.

“… Alright.” She raised her hands and gave in.

…

“Perfect!”

Once he finished doing her makeup, Alan stood before her for a final check. Seeing her in full glamor, he could not help but exclaim, “Oh, god, Miss Yun! You are simply the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen!”

“Thank you; I’m flattered.” She blushed as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Gu Xingze had keen foresight when he realized that this stunning gown would look exceptional on her with her ethereal beauty.

His gaze fell on the necklace on her neck. The pigeon’s blood ruby complemented her snow-white skin as it seductively sparkled and shone under the moon’s illumination.

“It’s absolutely beautiful! Miss Yun, the gala dinner is about to begin; let me show you the way!”

He slowly opened the door for her, and she carefully made her way out of the room while holding the hemline of her gown. She bumped into Gu Xingze who was waiting outside.

She was startled to see him, and a flush of embarrassment soon spread across her face.

He was momentarily stunned by her glamorous appearance but quickly saw fatigue in her blood-shot eyes. The pain in his heart for her seemed to grow by the minute.

“Shishi…”
