Murong Yu was not kidding when he said that they were attending a prestigious party. The party was held by one of the most powerful families in Imperial City. Luckily, it was a masquerade party. Otherwise, Xiao Lei would be nervous appearing in such a party. She wondered how Murong Yu managed to get the invitation, but she did not ask.
"No doubt he blackmailed someone into inviting him," Xiao Lei thought as she walked into the ballroom with him. She stood with her back straight as if she belonged to this kind of event in the first place.
When they entered, everyone kept staring at them to the point that Xiao Lei felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry," Murong Yu said as he patted her waist where his hand was resting on. He pulled her closer to him and looked at her with a grin on his face, "They are just jealous because you look absolutely beautiful even with the mask on."
