In a European- Styled luxurious room in the second floor of the west wing, a women clad in a light blue knee-length dress applied a layer of light pink shade lipstick on her luscious lips which blended perfectly with her already pinkish lips.
To give her lips the final touch up, she picked out a lip gloss of same shade. She leaned slightly towards the vanity mirror to apply the gloss, but a sudden knock stopped her movements.
Putting back the gloss, she walked towards the door and opened it.
The maid stood politely outside the room, her head bow down according to the rules. Seeing the door open, she informed in a polite tone.
" Third Young Madam, Elder Madam called everyone to the Main hall to welcome the guests."
Liu Yanyi looked at the maid, pursuing her lips, she nodded. " ok"
The maid was shocked hearing such a sweet and gentle voice but despite her curiosity to look at the owner of the voice, she didn't dare.
She was a new maid and just started working from yesterday. Although she still haven't seen the person but heard a lot about the third young madam Xia and surely just like the rumours third madam Xia was very timid.
Liu Yanyi closed the door and returned back to the vanity table. Quickly applying the lip gloss and checking her final appearance, she let out a satisfied sigh. She wore a pair of light blue heels, before heading out.
Before she could walk out of the room, a thin halo of golden light appeared next to her and soon a sparkly golden fish popped out of thin air. The golden fish had a shiny skin and watery animated eyes.
" Master, I just saw the mouth watering feast arranged in the garden. Can you bring me few plates full of them? " The golden fish begged as its eyes shined with hunger.
Its voice was quite human like and sounded childish.
Liu Yanyi showed a looked of contempt and said, "Little
golden Fish, you want to bite more than you can chew. Have you seen your body size."
" Master, even if I can't finish, you can keep it in my space for future use." The golden fish replied back smartly.
Liu Yanyi rolled her eyes." You're saying as if I starve you."
Lastly after a few more quibbles, when she finally agreed the golden fish disappeared into thin air and she headed downstairs

The Patriarch of Elite Xia Family; Xia Yunmo was turning 70 years old tomorrow and the preparation had started month ago. Being the Head among the four powerhouse family of China, Xia family was always under people's eyesight. Hence the celebration was the talk of every one.
The Celebration was going to be in large scale but Old Master Xia had always been simple and a family man and thus the day before his birthday all the Xia family members wherever they were, return back to old Xia Mansion and a small, intimate party was held with few other close friends.
