Chapter 771 Did Anything Spark?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yun Bilu tightened the scarf around her neck as she avoided Chu Xin's hand. "Nooo, Chu Xin, my great elder sister, don't! Please don't!" She widened her eyes pitifully as she pleaded.
What Chu Xin found it hardest to stand was this look from Bilu. She tapped Yun Bilu on the forehead and said, "You lying girl. I really can't do anything to you. If you showed this gaze to your Young Master Huang, he'd probably pluck the moon and stars for you."
Yun Bilu grinned as she tugged Chu Xin closer. "Is my gaze that powerful?"
Chu Xin pointed at the mirror. "Take a look at it yourself!"
Yun Bilu stared hard at the mirror but could not tell anything from it. "I think my gaze is ordinary. There's nothing special about it."
"Okay, fine. If you can't see it for yourself, we can all somehow feel it. Quick, tell us. What happened last night? I'm experienced in these matters, so don't try to hide it from me."
Yun Bilu fidgeted before mumbling, feeling conflicted. "Really, nothing happened."
"If nothing happened, you wouldn't be hiding your neck. I don't believe you."
Yun Bilu sat up from the bed as she fiddled with her fingers. After a while, she finally spoke up softly. "Nothing really happened. We just kissed. Nothing else."
After Yun Bilu spoke, Chu Xin glomped her. "Wow, my purest Little Lulu has finally conquered the male demigod! Do your best. We will cheer for you, but remember to protect yourself well too, okay?"
At that very moment, Xiao Nan and Xiao Huan came back after taking a shower. "Hey, stop dawdling around. You don't want to be late for class."
Yun Bilu heaved a sigh of relief and followed the others to class happily. While she was on her way there, she suddenly remembered to call Bai Yaoyao. She wanted to be assured that Bai Yaoyao was fine, so as soon as the call connected, she piped up, "Elder Sister Yaoyao, did anything spark when you were together with Mr. Soldier?"
At that moment, Bai Yaoyao was eating at the dining room with Duan Yanhao sitting opposite her. She sneaked a glance at him and saw his indifferent expression—he probably couldn't hear anything.
Bai Yaoyao covered her mouth as she replied, "Don't let your thoughts run wild. My period came yesterday."
Yun Bilu became anxious, so she couldn't help but raise her voice. "What? Your period came? Elder Sister Yaoyao, I have to go find you. You have to take good care of yourself, okay? Your period coming means that you need to rest well. You shouldn't drink cold water and get tired..."
Hearing Yun Bilu's screeching voice from the phone, beads of sweat started forming on Bai Yaoyao's forehead. When she saw Duan Yanhao's eyebrows twitching slightly, her grip on her cell phone tightened. She suspected that he heard everything.
Bai Yaoyao looked apologetically at Duan Yanhao before moving to the side to continue talking with Yun Bilu. She had to reassure the latter numerous times before she finally calmed down.
After hanging up the call, Bai Yaoyao observed Duan Yanhao from her peripheral view. Ever since that incident in the bathroom earlier, there was an unusual atmosphere between the two of them.
The next day, even when she was eating breakfast in front of Duan Yanhao, she was slightly nervous and wasn't as casual as she was before.
It seemed as though the servant yesterday told Duan Yanhao that she was about to leave, so he rushed back home. But other than having an unpleasant expression, he did not say anything.
Bai Yaoyao stared at Duan Yanhao as she slowly fell into a trance.
Duan Yanhao, who was scooping some soup, saw the worried expression on Bai Yaoyao's face—one that looked sorrowful.
His face twitched a little as he said, "If you don't eat, the soup will get cold. You shouldn't drink anything cold when you have your period, right?"
Chapter 772 Its Only Natural For A Man To Take Care Of A Woman

Bai Yaoyao stared at Duan Yanhao. When she moved over to take the bowl of soup that he had scooped for her, both her hands and heart trembled. In the past, it was always her scooping soup for others—it was always her taking care of others.
The bowl of soup suddenly felt heavy. She calmed the turmoil in her heart and composed herself before smiling. "Duan Yanhao, you're very good at taking care of people! Sometimes, I feel that you might be more attentive than a woman."
Duan Yanhao's cold and stiff gaze shifted as he replied, "It's only natural for a man to take care of a woman."
Although this statement was ordinary and somehow carried a hint of chauvinistic thinking, it moved Bai Yaoyao. A gentle light flashed across her eyes. If there was someone in this world who was willing to adore and love her, she would definitely be able to walk out of the shadows of her past and welcome a new life.
...
In Ning An City, Country A
Tomorrow would be the much-anticipated business meeting. Su Lenghan made an almost complete recovery and was busy arranging matters for Yangyang's discharge. After settling this, he carried her out of the hospital carefully.
However, he bumped into Meng Xinyan when he walked past the entrance of the hospital. It was obvious that she was here to snatch Yangyang from him.
Su Lenghan no longer felt anything towards Meng Xinyan. He simply waved his hand at the bodyguards behind and ordered, "I will leave her to you. Don't let her disturb us."
"Understood!"
Meng Xinyan, who was being held back, started screeching loudly. "Su Lenghan, Yangyang is my daughter! Who are you to stop me from seeing and carrying her?"
Su Lengxian came up from behind and landed a slap on Meng Xinyan. "Meng Xinyan, you don't even have the right to look at Yangyang. If it weren't for you, Li Wenhui wouldn't have gotten a chance to exact her revenge and harm her."
"Wow, Su Lengxian! You actually dare to hit me? See if I don't kill you! It's your fault for not looking after Yangyang properly! Who are you to accuse me?"
In that short but heated exchange, the two women started to fight. A reporter who saw the fight quickly took photos of it—it was an opportunity not to be missed.
Su Lenghan split the fighting pair apart and asked the people at his side to throw an official document at Meng Xinyan.
He said coldly, "This is the decision of the court. The right to care for Yangyang is in my hands. You don't even have the right to visit her."
Seeing how well Su Lenghan treated Yangyang, Meng Xinyan wanted to gain something from it as well, even if she didn't care about her daughter,
No one bothered with her even as she screamed and shouted. Su Lenghan and Su Lengxian left in a car, leaving behind the laughing stock that was Meng Xinyan.
...
On the day of the business meeting, Yun Bixue woke up early. After taking a shower, she wore a long blue gown and adorned her accessories. After tying her hair up in a bun, she applied light make up on her face.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she twirled around. It felt like she was about to take flight. She was going to accompany Xie Limo later to the financial center of the city.
After she dressing and dolling herself up, she got the servants to prepare breakfast before returning to the bedroom. She sat at the bedside, her heart aching as she looked at Xie Limo, who was still sound asleep. She raised her head and looked at the window, gazing at the brightening sky as she quietly sat by his side.
Xie Limo had been tiring himself out during this period to prepare for the business meeting. That was why he slept late last night. It would be a lie to say that her heart did not ache for him.
Half an hour later, when Xie Limo still wasn't awake, Yun Bixue placed his freshly pressed clothes by the bedside. When she bent down to arrange them neatly, she saw that Xie Limo had already opened his eyes.
Her eyes brightened as she greeted him, "You're awake. Are you still tired?"
Xie Limo's gaze landed on Yun Bixue's chest, and he pulled her to his side with a strong tug.
She fell onto him before she could catch her balance. When she managed to wiggle up, her gaze locked onto his eyes, and from their close proximity, she saw the passionate gleam within them.
Chapter 773 The Fire Of The Morning
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Naturally, Yun Bixue knew what that gaze meant. She gently pushed Xie Limo aside and said, "Today is the business meeting."
With a hand supporting his head, he looked at Yun Bixue, who was lying beside him. He smiled elegantly as he caressed her cheeks, "I know that."
"Then why are you still lying in bed?"
Xie Limo raised his head to look at the time before he shook his head. "There's no need to be anxious."
"There's no way I wouldn't be anxious. I've already dressed up."
Xie Limo leaned down to kiss Yun Bixue but was stopped by her hand. "Don't. It will mess up my makeup. If you did that, I would have to do it all over again."
Xie Limo gently cupped Yun Bixue's face as he spoke warmly, "I've arranged a makeup team for you, so you don't have to worry. You'll definitely be the star of the event."
Hearing his words, Yun Bixue smiled gently, but she still peeled his hands off. "Get up and prepare. Don't mess around. If we get too passionate now, the people at the business meeting will be able to see it clearly. I can't greet people that way, you know. The media will report about it as well. Not only will the people of Ning An City know about it, but people from other cities will also know about it too."
Yun Bixue looked upon the business meeting seriously—she knew that it was important. Otherwise, Xie Limo wouldn't have spent so much time preparing for it, so much so that he lost sleep over it.
Xie Limo held Yun Bixue's hand as he landed a peck at the side of her lips before letting her go.
Because Yun Bixue tried to sit up too quickly, her hand ended up somewhere she shouldn't be placing it on. She could clearly feel the burning heat, so she removed her hand quickly as if she was scalded. Her face flushed red, not daring to look in Xie Limo's direction.
And because of that one contact, Xie Limo could only sigh in resignation. Mornings were usually a time when it was easy to get aroused. With his wife dressed so beautifully in front of him, how could he feel nothing?
He wrapped his arms around her and whispered beside her ear, "My wife, do you know how to put out the fire you sparked?"
Yun Bixue's heart trembled as she listened to Xie Limo's seductive voice. She replied breathlessly, "We can't do it this morning."
Xie Limo didn't try to make things hard for her. He lowered his head to kiss at the crown of her head and said, "Your hair's messy. Get someone to style it for you later."
Yun Bixue fixed her hair before asking, "It should be fine like this?"
Xie Limo stood up and changed out of his pajamas. Looking at how Yun Bixue was still fixing her hair, he advised, "Although I want you to appear ordinary so that other people can't see how pretty you are, for your sake, I think it's better to change your hairstyle."
Yun Bixue nodded her head. "Okay, I will do that then."
After washing up, Xie Limo and Yun Bixue finished eating breakfast before heading off to Luxury Emperor.
When Yun Bixue saw some specks of dust on Xie Limo's pants and shoes, she stopped him from moving and knelt down to smooth out his dress pants and wipe the dust off his shoes. Donning a long gown as she bent down to help him, she revealed the most beautiful angle of her back.
Seeing such a wifely side of Yun Bixue, complicated emotions rose in his heart—it was something he couldn't describe. His heart felt warm. All he wanted to do was to pamper and dote on her in his embrace, to block out the gale and rain so that she could live without worries.
When Yun Bixue was done, she stood up and raised her head to look at Xie Limo. She chirped, "All done! Let's go!" After speaking, she tugged Xie Limo's wrist.
Luxury Emperor was guarded securely. Cars that did not have an invitation couldn't enter, much less even drive near its premises.
Anyone who passed the security checks would feel a sense of pride because they felt like they were special people. It was, indeed, a privilege to be there.
Chapter 774 The Fake Invitation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The five noble families, which were led by the Fang family, flushed red in anger. As furious as they were, they didn't receive an invitation. Xie Limo didn't want to give them an invitation, so what could they do about it?
The small families that were once looked down upon by these five noble families waved their invitations in front of their faces and loudly emphasized, "Master Fang, do you not have anything on today? Oh, we're so busy. We need to hurry up and go to the business meeting."
"Oh, look at that. This invitation even has a gold border! I heard that all the people who were invited are all reputable people. They will even get green cards to get an advantage in the country's economy! I wonder who will be getting these green cards?"
"Oh my, Master Ma, I heard that a few of your stores closed down recently? How careless of you. If you wanted to make counterfeit things, you shouldn't get discovered by reporters."
"That's true. The reporters always target the more juicy ones. Even if we were anxious, as bystanders, we can't do anything as well."
"You're right. Some people just don't know their place. They have such huge ambitions and even tried to assassinate someone they never should have. They're like a person sitting in a well trying to touch the skies!"
"Also, what status do Young Master Xie and Miss Yun have? Were they people who could be assassinated just because a few families combined their men of sacrifice?""
The five families were mocked so badly that all the Masters were angered to the point where their veins were almost bursting. They stared at the cars that drove towards Luxury Emperor, which they couldn't enter at the moment.
It seemed as though someone always knew about their plans and every single order they sent down, making all their strategies useless. The businesses that were under their names suffered a lot, so they no longer had the wealth to bribe their way through the back door.
The final solution that the five noble families came up with was to sell their men of sacrifice as assassins and calculate the amount of money they earned from it.
This chilled the hearts of their men of sacrifice, and at the same time, they became the laughing stock of the noble families in Ning An City.
...
Aunt Qin dressed up so that she would appear younger and more elegant. She even left boldly from the family home of the Qin family. She woke everyone up on purpose, stating that she would treat them to a meal because she was invited to the business meeting. What she was trying to imply was simple: She was the head of the Qin family.
She wanted to tell the whole family that she was the head, and that was a fact recognized by the entire Ning An City. She pompously took out the invitation card and placed it on the table for everyone to see.
Qin Huailing's mother was soft-hearted. Seeing the invitation, she sighed. She was only worried about her son.
She didn't wish for her son to become the head of the family. All she hoped was for her son to attain happiness.
Once Aunt Qin finished showing off, she took the invitation and left for Luxury Emperor in a car.
She deliberately chose a peak hour for her entrance so that everyone could see her step inside the premises, but when she reached the first entrance of Luxury Emperor, the security guards requested to see her invitation.
Aunt Qin arrogantly showed her invitation card. "Here. Take a look at it yourselves!"
The guards sent glances at each other before eyeing Aunt Qin, their expressions turning cold. They summoned people to stop her car and chase it away.
Seeing this unexpected situation, Aunt Qin started panicking. "What are you guys doing? I received the invitation card, and I'm here to represent the Qin family in the business meeting. What is the meaning of this?"
One of the guards said calmly, "Auntie, we need to see the invitation card before we can let you in. That's our rule. We don't know who you are, but you faking an invitation and trying to enter, do you think of us as fools?"
Hearing that statement, it was as though she was struck by lightning. She sat numbly in the car as she retorted in a sharp voice, "What? A fake invitation? How could that be possible? The Qin family was clearly in the list of invited families."
Chapter 775 Not The Representative Of The Qin Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Aunt Qin widened her eyes as she stared at the invitation card. There was nothing wrong with it, so what was with this situation?
The security guards were coming closer to chase them away with an impatient tone, while the cars that were passing by were starting to stare at them with curiosity.
Since Aunt Qin chose a peak hour, a lot of people were passing by. Being the center of attention of all these people, Aunt Qin flushed in embarrassment.
She got down from the car and asked in a loud voice, "What are you doing? What exactly do you think you are doing? I am the representative of the Qin family for the business meeting, and yet you have the audacity to treat me without respect?"
"We only look at the invitation, not at the person. Also, based on what we know, the Qin family doesn't have a head. You think you can just place yourself in that position?" A female guard who walked towards Aunt Qin said this to her in a hostile tone.
This statement was like a slap to Aunt Qin's face, and the people around them started laughing loudly.
Aunt Qin was incredibly arrogant in the business world because of the Qin family's standing—not many could stand up against them. Seeing how Aunt Qin was being put in her place, they all found it funny.
Aunt Qin's expression turned uglier as she hollered, "What are you all laughing about?"
She turned to look at the female guard as she threatened, "Who are you? How dare you have the audacity to speak to me in that manner? I have the power to take you away right now."
The guard shrugged as she waved her off flippantly. "You can do whatever you want. After today, everyone will know whether you actually have that power." She smiled dangerously at Aunt Qin, waiting for her to realize what she was about to do.
She walked towards the side and announced using a microphone, "Auntie, although I really want to know why you wish to represent the Qin family to attend the business meeting, making a fake invitation is an insult to our intelligence. Please return to where you came from. You are not the representative of the Qin family, nor are you the head of the Qin family. Please know your place!"
This announcement was so loud that people could hear it from a distance. All of them turned to look at the... auntie? So Aunt Qin was just an auntie.
Aunt Qin was about to vomit blood. The anger that surged within her made her so dizzy that she could no longer stand properly.
Without knowing who shook the car, she fell in an unglamorous manner on the ground, causing the crowd to erupt in laughter once more.
Aunt Qin pointed her finger angrily at them. "You! All of you..." She was furious beyond words.
Even with her on the ground, no one stepped up to help her. She usually acted pompously and kept looking down on people who she felt were beneath her as she looked jealousy upon people who were stronger than her. In other words, Aunt Qin didn't have a good relationship with people. That was why they wanted to laugh at her rather than help her and curry favor from her.
The driver, who had been chased out by the guards, was unable to help Aunt Qin either, so she could only sit on the ground furiously with bloodshot eyes.
While this was happening, numerous people were passing by, and all they saw that Aunt Qin was being chased out. At that moment, it could be said that Aunt Qin's face was flushed down the drain.
All of a sudden, an unpretentious yet elegant-looking car stopped slowly in front of her. When the car window rolled down, she saw that it was Qin Huailing.
At that point, Aunt Qin didn't think much about it and instead rose up to clutch at Qin Huailing like a lifeline. "Qin Huailing, quick, tell them. This invitation card is real. It's what you gave me!"
A cold glint flashed fleetingly across Qin Huailing's clear eyes, which were like pear blossoms. He said in a mocking tone, "Aunt, you must be confused. How could I have passed the invitation to you? And for it to even be a fake one? Aunt, it's best for you to go back. Since you are not the head of the Qin family, staying here will only make you look like a joke!"
Chapter 776 Angered To The Brink Of Insanity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After hearing Qin Huailing's words, confusion overwhelmed Aunt Qin. She had no idea how to react at all. This invitation was clearly given by her nephew, so why did he say those things? And why was he wearing such an aloof expression?
Thinking that things don't add up, Aunt Qin paled several shades as realization dawned on her. She pointed at Qin Huailing and said, "You! You planned this on purpose! You did all this!"
"Aunt, this is not some random place. Please don't spout nonsense." Although Qin Huailing's tone was plain, it carried a deadly edge and a hint of power.
This was the first time Qin Huailing treated her in this manner. Yes, Qin Huailing was always cold to her, but he would never go against her and treat her with such disrespect!
Aunt Qin couldn't take the blow. Her expression changed as it clouded over. "Qin Huailing, very well. Your wings have become strong. They're so strong that you have no respect for me."
Qin Huailing took out the real invitation card and passed it to the guards. They took one look at the invitation and greeted him respectfully before allowing him in.
While the car was moving forward, Qin Huailing swept a glance over Aunt Qin. His glare was dangerous and ice cold. "Aunt Qin, whether I respect you or not, you know it the best. You know very well what you've done, so you don't need me to say them out loud!"
After hearing Qin Huailing's parting words, Aunt Qin took a while to recover from her trance. Could he have found out about something? What did he mean by that? What did she do?
She could not believe that he would look mockingly at her like that!
Cars entered the place one after another. Aunt Qin was the only one who was being chased out—she looked lost and shaken. Today was the day that she became the laughing stock of numerous people.
Aunt Qin's face turned into several shades of red. Even if she insisted, she was still chased out. She had never experienced such disrespect. In her anger, she left straight for the Qin Family Cooperation and immediately organized a stakeholders' meeting.
However, despite the order for a stakeholders' meeting, only her two to three good friends showed up.
Aunt Qin flew into a rage at that point. "What happened? Where's the rest? Why did they not come?"
"CEO, please calm down. Perhaps it's because of the business meeting today. They might be busy watching the live broadcast, that's why they didn't show up."
Aunt Qin's anger spiked, making her sweep the glass vase off the table and onto the floor. The crisp sound of the breaking glass did nothing to quell the fury she felt inside.
She then drove directly to the Qin family's house, intending to vent her anger on Qin Huailing's parents. However, when she arrived, she was told that his parents were already fetched away.
Aunt Qin shook on her feet as she grabbed the door frame beside her. In a low and seething voice, she asked, "What did you say? When did this happen?"
It was the first time that the servant saw such a scary expression on Aunt Qin's face. She immediately bowed down and answered meekly, "It happened when you left the villa earlier."
Aunt Qin laughed. "What a sneaky bastard. To have plotted this behind my back..." As she laughed, she forcefully pushed down the fury within her as a dark and dangerous gleam shone in her eyes.
The moment she left the house, she called a private number. The goal was to kill Qin Huailing once he left the business meeting. As long as her nephew was dead, the Qin family would still listen to her.
...
The large banquet room in Luxury Emperor was magnificently beautiful. The invited families and businesses arrived one after another. It was a large scale event, so there were many people gathered inside.
Everyone took the opportunity to socialize with each other. After all, it was the best place to establish connections. The sounds of wine glasses clinking were heard everywhere as they exchanged greetings and talked with one another.
Chapter 777 Under The Arrangement Of Young Master Xie
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The people who were attending were exceptionally happy to be able to join the event. After all, it was a show of their status. Perhaps after this, they would be able to raise their family's rank and prestige.
It wouldn't be bold to assert that everyone was excited as they tried their best to socialize with one another.
Furthermore, the reporters who were invited were also excitedly taking videos of this event. It would be broadcasted live, so they were hoping that they could achieve the best effect.
Xie Limo drove to Luxury Emperor with about five to six cars surrounding them for protection. This could be said to be a more than adequate protection, but Yun Bixue was still anxious and kept looking at him.
Xie Limo drove with one hand while he caressed Yun Bixue's head with the other. "Stop being so nervous now. I've already made enough preparations this time. Anyone who enters is registered, and any suspicious person is not allowed to even go near Luxury Emperor. Its perimeters are all safe as well."
Yun Bixue placed a hand on her chest. "Limo, my heart is still pounding uneasily. Just thinking about what happened at the previous talk makes me so anxious."
"Relax and trust me, okay?"
Yun Bixue looked at Xie Limo's calm and tender expression before she sucked in a deep breath, trying her best not to think of anything.
When the car drove past a certain road, Yun Bixue saw someone familiar and was startled when she recognized who it was. "Isn't that Aunt Qin from the Qin family? I think something's going on."
Xie Limo explained, "She must've brought a fake invitation to participate in the business meeting and was probably chased out."
Yun Bixue revealed a shocked expression. "Qin Huailing really did that?"
"The Qin Huailing now is no longer suppressing his hatred for her. He has gathered enough information and evidence that would allow him to push Aunt Qin down. In the end, the Qin family is still Qin Huailing's."
Yun Bixue gave Xie Limo a sidelong glance. "Hubby, this is something you planned as well, right?"
"Even if I didn't arrange for it, the conclusion would still be the same. The plan was simply moved forward with my help. This fake invitation probably flushed Aunt Qin's pride down the drain. Once the business meeting ends and he becomes the head of the Qin family, I'm planning to reward him with another big gift."
Yun Bixue asked curiously, "What's the big gift?"
"Take a guess!"
Yun Bixue thought about what Xie Limo said a long time ago, making her expression change as she realized something. "Could it be that his legs can be healed?"
"There's a chance!"
Yun Bixue gasped. "Hubby, if you can really help treat his legs, he will most probably regard you as his life benefactor. The Qin family will be in your hands too."
Xie Limo laughed lightly. "The main reason why I helped him was because he helped you in the past. He didn't let Yun Mengshi get near him and let her use him to hurt you."
After hearing those words, Yun Bixue was reminded of Yun Mengshi. She had already disappeared for a long time, and there wasn't even a piece of news about her. She had no idea if Yun Mengshi was still alive.
However, she felt that a person as scheming as Yun Mengshi would not disappear just like that.
While she was deep in her thoughts, they arrived at the main entrance of Luxury Emperor. Once the security guards saw Xie Limo's car plate, they lined up, bowing respectfully to welcome him.
This made Yun Bixue feel like a leader doing her checks. "Limo, you have to hold my hand later, okay?"
Xie Limo could feel Yun Bixue trembling in nervousness. He stretched his hand to hold hers, transferring his warmth to her as he said gently, "My wife, don't worry. All you have to do is to hook your arm around mine and just imagine that you are walking on the red carpet. Rest assured that any mistake you make will be cut away from the video by the reporters."
Chapter 778 The Most Precious Person
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue's gaze softened as she smiled lightly at Xie Limo. "Hubby, do you think it will really feel like walking on a red carpet?"
Xie Limo looked at the radiant smile on Yun Bixue's face and couldn't help the stirring in his heart. He pulled her hand over and kissed it. "If you were to ask me, I'd say that this isn't really important for both of us. The important one is the one at our wedding. That's when I really want you to walk on a red carpet. Just treat this as a practice."
Yun Bixue chuckled. "If they knew that the business meeting that they treated so seriously was only a practice run for the red carpet for Young Master Xie, what would they say?"
Xie Limo's magnificent eyes shone in warmth and tenderness as he replied softly, "What they think isn't important. What's most important is my wife. You are my most precious person."
Xie Limo rarely said words of love to her. Yun Bixue's heart stirred at his words as her eyes rimmed slightly in red, revealing the most radiant smile. She lowered her head and cleared her throat before she emphasized, "Later when there's a lot of people, you cannot say these without meaning it."
Xie Limo knew that Yun Bixue was feeling shy at that moment, so he didn't tease her. "I mean all of it. You know that as well." In the past, he seldom spoke of how he felt, but after being together with Yun Bixue, he understood that women always said things they didn't mean. In reality, they actually liked hearing those things.
Yun Bixue lightly pushed Xie Limo's hand away and said, "Drive with two hands."
Xie Limo caressed her head before turning his full attention back to driving. Luxury Emperor had stringent security, the guards spanning the streets around them just to ensure a thorough protection.
When Yun Bixue saw the police who were equipped with guns patrolling around the place, a strange feeling rose in her heart. Law enforcement police were always held in high regard by everyone, so she felt calmer knowing that they were patrolling for them.
Although a lot of men of sacrifice and hidden bodyguards were arranged for, they were more suited for battles in the dark, while law enforcement officers were suited for battles in broad daylight.
When they arrived at the entrance of Luxury Emperor, there were already many reporters taking photographs and videos. When people alighted from their cars, they would wave to the reporters and strike their best poses. The women made their most beautiful poses while the men posed to make themselves look more elegant and classy.
From the car window, Yun Bixue saw many unfamiliar faces getting down from the car. However, her eyes shone involuntarily when she saw Meng Xintong. Meng Xintong was dressed beautifully, eliciting admiring looks from others.
She was reminded of the time when she first met Meng Xintong. The latter was dressed plainly and would blend in the crowd effortlessly. Now, that ugly duckling had turned into a beautiful swan, and she truly felt happy for her.
Meng Xintong was someone Yun Bixue recognized as her friend. She remembered Xie Limo mentioning that it was Meng Xintong who took care of her when she fainted after hearing the illegitimate child fake news. Meng Xintong even felt indignant on her behalf. Just thinking about it brought a smile on her face.
At that moment, an elegant and beautiful lady got down from the car. The moment she got down, cameras flashed nonstop as the reporters swarmed in on her.
They wanted to be as near to her as possible while they were interviewing her.
The beautiful lady smiled at them and simply said, "I'm very honored to have been invited to Ning An City's business meeting."
With just this sentence, her bodyguards surrounded her once again and escorted her in. The lady walked with such grace that people just couldn't turn their eyes away from her.
Chapter 779 Unsurpassed Beauty Of The Generation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue looked at Xie Limo, who had his gaze in front rather than at the entrance of Luxury Emperor. She tugged at his arm and said, "Quick, look at that. Do you see her? That's one of the Country A's most famous celebrities, Lu Mixi. I heard that it's difficult to invite her. Also, since she's almost retired, I'm really excited to be able to see her in person today."
Xie Limo's lips curled up into a smile. "I didn't know that my wife is a fan of celebrities!"
"It's not that. I admire her for achieving what she has now with her own efforts. I heard that she has a strong-headed personality and have offended several people because of it. When she finally made it on the peak of the movie industry, she became legendary. Don't you think that she's very beautiful?" Women actually liked to look at beautiful people, and sometimes, it was with admiration rather than envy.
Xie Limo shook his head. "My wife, is there someone else who asks these kinds of questions like you do? Why are you asking your husband if another woman is pretty?"
Yun Bixue smiled radiantly. "I know that my husband only has me in his heart. I trust you, that's why I asked you to look at her."
While the two of them were talking in the car, cheers started sounding up around them, as though welcoming a famous star's arrival. Yun Bixue immediately turned around and saw that it was the main leads of her game drama—Liu Teng and Li Guile. The two of them became famous because of the drama, so much so that the cheers their arrival roused was comparable to that of Lu Mixi.
And since most of the females present were fans of Liu Yang, the sounds of cheering never stopped.
Liu Teng waved to the crowd before entering the venue with Li Guile. He had a humble and pleasant expression because he knew that it was tough to reach where he was now. Furthermore, the person who he was most thankful for was Miss Yun. If it weren't for her help to push him to be the male lead, he would have never garnered this attention.
Xie Limo got down from the car only after most people had arrived. His arrival was elegant, cloaked with all the grace of the world. No amount of words could describe his beauty—it was so incredibly captivating and eye-catching.
The reporters stood dazedly, not knowing what to ask. When they recovered from their trance, they swarmed in like bees, excitedly asking questions as they took pictures of him. Xie Limo smiled without saying anything and instead, walked around the car to open the door to the passenger seat. With his hand outstretched, he assisted the passenger out like a gentleman.
Yun Bixue smiled and placed her hand in Xie Limo's as she got down from the car.
Once people saw Yun Bixue, they started cheering that she was the unparalleled beauty in this generation! She was truly beyond compare, and it seemed that no other words would suffice to describe her beauty.
Yun Bixue was nervous. It was her first time attending such a large event of this importance. However, looking at the comfort and warmth in Xie Limo's gaze, her heart warmed. Since he was by her side, she would leave everything in his hands.
Xie Limo's adoring gaze never left Yun Bixue. Under such a gaze, Yun Bixue relaxed, and with their fingers intertwined, the couple moved forward.
"They're so beautiful! A match made in heaven..." One of the reporters, who originally wanted to interview the couple, was so awestruck with their magnificence that he couldn't help but gasp.
That was what everyone felt about the pair in front of them.
Wearing a long blue gown, she was like an esteemed goddess of the sea. A mysterious aura accompanied the elegance that cloaked her. Simply put, she was drop-dead gorgeous!
Chapter 780 Most Beautiful Today

"Young Master Xie and Young Madam are even more beautiful than movie actors. They're so stunning that my eyes are starting to blur."
"No one else here can compare to them."
"Those who aren't on the same level shouldn't be compared to them. Today is truly a feast for my eyes. I've fought so long to get this chance to interview them. Even if I don't get to do so, just being able to see them is good enough."
"It's being live broadcasted."
"How can watching on the TV be compared to watching it live? I can feel eyes twinkling. They are just too beautiful!"
"I used to think that Miss Yun wasn't that beautiful, but today, I realized that our eyesight must have been really bad. She's an unparalleled beauty, so why did the Su family abandon her and chose that Meng Xinyan?"
"I know, right? The Su family has such a bad taste. I guess they already regret their choice. Look at what kind of person that Meng Xinyan is. I don't even want to look at her. We used to call her the number one beauty before. What an insult to that term..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. The Su family is also invited today. Young Master Su is pretty pitiful, so let's not talk about this. We have no idea if he would deeply regret it after seeing such a pretty Miss Yun right now."
"We should just watch from the sidelines and keep from commenting. Everyone here wields a certain amount of influence, so it's better if we watch what we say."
"You're right. This is a great chance to fish for a rich son-in-law as well."
While the onlookers were busy discussing among themselves, Xie Limo and Yun Bixue walked on the red carpet. The lights flashed nonstop, and the guards at both sides bowed as they welcomed the couple into the main hall. The hall erupted into applause upon their arrival.
Many of the people who were invited were all thankful towards Young Master Xie, so they naturally sang praises for the couple.
Meng Xintong clapped till her hands were red. She excitedly looked at the couple, thinking that one would never find another perfectly matched pair like them.
After their grand entrance, Xie Limo and Yun Bixue sat down on opposite seats before they waited for the business meeting to officially start at nine o'clock.
A lot of people wanted to come over to socialize with Young Master Xie, but they were all blocked by Xie Jiu, who prevented anyone from getting near him.
Sitting among the guests, Su Lenghan's gaze landed on Yun Bixue. That elegant blue gown blinded him and pierced his heart, and he couldn't help but be reminded of the past. At the same venue in Luxury Emperor, she pleaded for his help, but what did he do that time? He knew clearly how indifferent and unfeeling he was back then.
Thinking about that, he felt shameful about his actions. Yun Bixue did not hold grievances and even took care of Yangyang. He was thankful enough and wouldn't ask for anything else. He would definitely teach his daughter to be respectful and grow into a sensible lady, in hopes that she would help alleviate his guilt.
Meng Xintong sat excitedly behind Yun Bixue before happily saying, "Bixue, you're really eye-catching. This gown is so beautiful!"
Yun Bixue smiled at her. "Oh, stop flattering me. I'm already blushing."
"Well, it's true! You're the most beautiful today, and no one will be able to steal the limelight from you. I think that a lot of men here will fall for you at first sight, but too bad you're already taken. As long as Young Master Xie isn't jealous, all's good." Meng Xintong whispered to Yun Bixue, not wanting Xie Limo to hear it.
Yun Bixue chuckled lightly before giving Meng Xintong a wink.
After her conversation with Yun Bixue, Meng Xintong went to the washroom. When she came out, she saw Su Lenghan with a cigarette in his mouth—he was wearing a serious expression on his face.
