Chapter 30

Rosette colored lips, cheeks that reminds you of spring and a hair lusciously falling down throughout one's waist can be seen in the mirror.

A pearl bead sized decorated into ones ears, in the pale swan neck laid a butterfly necklace adorned with jewels, long lashes framing the raven pair of eyes of a woman.

She was like an elegant swan, so noble and pure making everyone's eyes flutter to her.

After checking her face into the mirror, she walks out of the room and met eyes with a very familiar man.

The man exudes control and power, like a celestial roaming the earth with a pair of indifferent eyes.

The woman held his outstretched hand and breathed lightly, the man beside her glance in passing before leaving her figure.

The doors were opened and the two pair like a match made in heaven, they stepped out with unison and headed to the event hall.

Men and women in all ages, each with their own intentions and power clamored into their side and fished out each other's strength and weaknesses.

Smiles are given, whether it was a perfunctory one or a genuine smile, one cannot guess.

With the announcement of the celebrant's name, the event has begun.

...

My lips had become sore from all that smiling, with all that practice from my past lives I would have guess that I'll be used to it.

I gave my all since it's Nai Nai's birthday, I cannot embarrass Nai Nai. I am now currently sitting with all the married ladies from our circle, those who are affluent, and is chatting about... women things such as whose pair has divorced, whose household had another child and mistress and which dress or jewelry store they bought it from.

Nai Nai was with the older generation, the gifts had already been laid on the long table and congratulatory words had been said.

"Whose lady is that?" I notice one of the married ladies pointed at a figure just meters away from us.

It was Shaoyan.

I almost stood up in surprise and glee, something had changed.

She wan not supposed to be here, I heard that she was sick before. It never happened, her existence in this event, it never did.

So now imagine my surprise to see her here, if someone had taken it out of context then one would think that I was shock seeing my husband's mistress inside of our family's villa.

"Excuse me ladies" I backed off my seat and excuse myself before going to Nai Nai's side.

It didn't take me long to reach her side and was told to sit beside her by none other than herself.

"Oho, your granddaughter in law is such a filial lady"

"Good, good, good, my granddaughter is the best!" Nai Nai have a hearty chuckle making the rest of the people in this table laughed with her.

"Nai Nai" I timidly said, a hint of embarrassment flashed in my eyes at Nai Nai's blatant bias at me.

I still wonder why Nai Nai loves me more than her own grandson, she never told me and not even her family knew the reason behind her love for me.

"What is it Caia?" She whispered in my ears while I fiddled with my hand.

I don't want to trouble her and in case she heard me talking about An Yi Wei's future wife, she would surely faint in anger.

I don't want to destroy her happy mood as well as her celebration, so I shook my head and smiled at her sweetly.

"I just miss Nai Nai" I even swung her arm gently making her knock my forehead.

"Aiya, such a sweet mouth!" The obvious glee in her eyes sparks a contrast against her words.

It didn't take me long to coax her into a good mood, almost everyone in the table clamored in laughter at my sweet words.

At the corner of my eye, I notice two familiar figures coming out of the event hall.
