" Young master, young master !!! ", " I can still hear you, what's the matter ? ", the secretary had a troubled expression, " Madam Lin decided to hold a party to announce your engagement and wedding day !! She's really impatient to get rid of the rightful heir ". Chen Feng looked at him, " I'm not anxious, yet you're already ". His aide shook his head helplessly, his master was surely from another world, so calm and so cold. Then he recalled a detail from the invitation card, " Right, she said that you should also bring your fiance. Will it be alright since she's still recovering her health ? ". Hearing the last part, his brows furrowed, recovering her health ? Was this the reason for her pale appearance ? He wondered a bit then stood up. " Gather all her medical recordings in an hour, no one needs a dead deal". Hearing those words, the secretary felt a bit chilly, he was surely a cold third young master. Soon the room was empty except for its owner.
A sigh echoed in the room, " Well done Lin Ji Mei, first my mother, now me ? ", he murmured, each word filled with suppressed anger. That daring woman tore up his family, forcing her mother to the brink of death, only because she had a powerful backing. And now she paired up him with a sickly person, hoping that his fiancee would die and bring bad luck on him. So he had to keep that miss from the Zhao family alive till his plans were ready. Annoyance filled his eyes, but at least she seemed cooperative, not a stupid one.
Xue happily danced in her room, holding a rectangular box, " Finally, now I can seriously finish my business !! ". Her hands quickly unwrapped the package, pulling out a slim pc, she patiently waited for it to turn on, but as soon the screen lit up, only a low battery notification popped on. Then it turned off. " Aghhhhhhh, how did I forget this thing ?? ", she ran to the table, rummaging through the box. After grabbing the charger, she plugged it to a socket, now she had only to wait for a few hours. ' Ugh…. How am I gonna survive a whole week here ? The hospital was better, I could move freely, but here It's like a prison '. Feeling a bit bored she threw herself on the bed, laying on her belly. She rolled a few times, trying to find a comfortable position to take a nap. She peacefully closed her eyes ready to dive in her sleep.
Downstairs a woman was sipping a cup of tea while answering a call, " Oh my, you're so kind to our daughter Mrs. Chen ! I'll tell her later, I must get her ready for the party, she'd be really happy to hear this news! ", " I'm glad to see this, hope the whole family will accompany her on her special day ", " Sure, how can we miss such an important event ? ". Both women felt satisfied with such arrangements, it met their aims. Getting rid of a nuisance.
The call ended and the smile disappeared, " Increase the medicine's dosage of the second miss and tell her to get ready for tonight's event ", " Yes madam ".
Xue shook her head, a layer of sweats covered her forehead. Something in her dreams was haunting her, " No…no… NOOO, I'M NOT….. !!! ". Her body jolted, her eyes opened as she gasped for air. Her hands were tightly clutched on her neck, as if they wanted to catch the air that was escaping from her throat. For a few moments everything went still, only an irregular breathing was heard. Foggy pupils seemed even more unfocused than before, purplish veins surfaced on her pale neck, as her face turned red. Those slender fingers were still wrapped around it tightly. Knoks echoed at the door, " Second miss, may I come in ? ". Those snowy eyes focused again, " Yes ", a raspy sound came out from her mouth. The maid ran in, " miss ? miss ? Are you alright ? ", she was greeted by a pale appearance laying on the bed, wrapped in blankets. " Don't worry, I think I'm having a relapse, could you get the pills for me ? Once I take them I'll be fine ", " Yes, yes, I'll get them immediately !! Please bear it for a moment ", the maid hurried to find them, feeling anxious. Right now the second miss looked as if she could faint at any moment. Xue smiled at the person who passed her a cup of glass and a small gray bead. She took a deep breath then she swallowed it while shutting her eyes. A bitter aftertaste attacked her taste buds, making her lips wriggle. " Miss, are you feeling a bit better ? Should I call a doctor ? ", " No, no, there's no need ", "Oh, right. Madam asked you to get ready for tonight's party. Mrs. Chen organized it to celebrate your engagement ". " I got, thanks for telling me ". The maid smiled and left.
What a busy day, she dragged her body in front of a mirror, a ghostly reflection came in her view. " I really look like a ghost…. a monster….. ", a few red marks were on her neck, the aftermath of before. ' It seems like I have to cover them… Hope the makeup will cover it '. The sky was getting dark so she had to hurry. Sure enough, stylist Yu was already waiting outside. " We meet again, Miss Zhao! Here's a few designs that will suit you perfectly! ", a dozen dresses were brought out. " Uh.. Mrs. Yu, which one should I wear ? ", bright amber eyes looked at her. " What question is this ? Of course you have to try all of them! ", " Ah ? ". All of them ?! It would take an eternity then ! She rubbed her temple, " Just pick one that suits the occasion, why bother so much …. ". " No objects allowed, try all of them, go go go ! ", the poor Xue was pushed in the fitting room with all the sets. Yu sighed, how could her muse be so indifferent to her beautiful image. But luckily she was there to change that, she offered herself as Xue's personal stylist.
