Chapter 10

The birthday banquet for the chairman of the Ye Group was, as expected, an extremely grand affair. Even though I was used to big events, I still couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

In addition to the leaders from the political and business circles, there were also many popular celebrities in attendance.

It was only then that I realized why Dylan Ye had given me such an expensive dress—he was afraid I would lose face.

The father-son duo of the Ye family gave speeches on stage, and I felt bored out of my mind.

As soon as the speeches were over, I pulled Crystal—who had also been invited—to go try the food together.

Nothing was more important than eating. While Dylan Ye was busy spinning around like a top among the crowd, I just wanted to quietly stay in a corner and be a happy foodie.

Unfortunately, even this small wish of mine wasn't meant to come true.

When I saw Dylan Ye walking toward me, radiating charm and confidence, I had a bad feeling.

The next second, he pulled me into the middle of the crowd and started introducing me.

"This is my fiancée, Miss Jiang from the Jiang Group, Jenny Jiang."

These words exploded in my mind like fireworks. Looking at his elegant and composed smile, I had no choice but to put on a graceful smile to maintain the reputation of the Jiang family.

This was no time to bring shame to the Jiang family!

When I saw the Jiang and Ye couples chatting happily together, I had a strong feeling that I wouldn't be able to escape this marriage.

Mrs. Ye was very gentle. She took my hand and led me around to meet many people—young and old, beautiful and not—all of whom were dressed in fancy clothes. It was clear that they all came from prominent families.

That night, I drank a lot of wine. When I was drunk, I found Crystal and leaned against her.

I had wanted to go home, but my parents had no intention of leaving anytime soon, so I had to rest for a while with Crystal.

In my dazed state, I suddenly felt myself being lifted up. Huh?

When did Crystal get so strong?

But I didn't care—it felt comfortable. I wrapped my arms around her neck and let myself drift off to sleep.

In my half-asleep, half-awake state, I heard Crystal talking to someone. I mumbled and asked her to take me to the bedroom.

The response I got was an extremely gentle voice saying, "Okay, we'll go right away."

I was laid down on a soft big bed. In the end, I clung to Crystal like a pillow, holding onto her tightly.

As for what happened after that, I couldn't remember a thing.
