After being read, the fake daughter became the group's favorite

Early in the morning, Jing Yi was called out by Shen Xi.

Jing Yi fell asleep with her mouth slightly open, leaning on the passenger seat. She woke up drowsily only after the car stopped.

She was just a little unsteady following Shen Xi's footsteps. Shen Xi saw that she looked "extremely sleepy" and quickly went forward to pull her forward.

Jing Yi yawned, "Xixi, what kind of banquet is it that is worth waking me up so early in the morning?" She had never heard of any banquet starting in the morning...

Shen Xi was pulling the person in front and had to make sure that the person didn't hit any obstacles.

"Doesn't that mean we need some time to prepare? If we really wait until the afternoon to start preparing, how can we make it in time? Besides, Jing Yiyi, it's already ten o'clock in the morning!"

Even if she pulled Jing Yiyi out early in the morning, it was already ten o'clock after breakfast. Why was she still so sleepy?

What could Jing Yi do? She was discussing with Jing Zeqian yesterday about going to the racetrack, but this guy said he would take her there when he had time.

Jing Yi was not convinced and made a bet with him to play a game. Whoever lost would compromise. As a result, they played until very late...

Shen Xi pushed open a door and pushed Jing Yi in first.

What followed was several hours of makeup and styling, during which I also had some takeout.

Jing Yi, who had finished first, sat on the sofa and looked at Shen Xi who seemed to be enjoying himself. She was really puzzled. How could this man sit in front of the mirror for several hours without changing his expression?

As Jing Yi watched, she wanted to grab the snacks on the coffee table, but the tightness around her waist stopped her.

She didn't seem to be able to eat much in the clothes she wore today.

It was an outfit with a hint of dark style, a dark red, almost black, strapless tight dress with a high waist and straps on the upper body, and the hem was divided into two layers, one short and one long.

The stylist did not do too much with Jing Yi's hair. She just gave it a simple look, braiding the hair in front of her forehead into a few braids. The wavy hair was draped behind her, completely revealing her delicate face.

She wore a necklace around her neck, a necklace made of rose thorns.

Next to her lay an elaborate mask, its outline made of rose twigs with lifelike miniature flower buds carved on them.

Shen Xi really liked Jing Yi's outfit, but Jing Yi didn't have any other thoughts except sighing that he was tired.

Jing Yi sighed and continued to hold her face while waiting for Shen Xi.

When she was styling her hair just now, Shen Xi told her that it was a party hosted by a friend she knew, and because they wanted it to be more fun, they just turned it into a masked party.

"Rich people, when they have free time, will want to hold a party to liven things up, you know." Judging from Shen Xi's tone, she should attend such parties frequently.

Jing Yi looked at the satisfied Shen Xi in the mirror, propped up her chin, and said in a leisurely voice, "How would I know? Why would you hold a party instead of going to sleep?"

"You just know how to sleep!"

Over there, the makeup artist had finished the last step and said to Shen Xi with a smile, "Miss Shen, it's done. You can go change your clothes."

Seeing that it was finally over, Jing Yi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then she remembered that makeup was just the beginning of the party!

When Shen Xi came out, she was wearing a silver-white pleated dress, a silver chain cape with a metallic luster, and holding a mask of the same style in her hand.

"Wow! Whose daughter is this? She's so pretty!"

Shen Xi glanced at Jing Yi with a smile and ignored her teasing.

"But Miss Shen, this dance is probably not a simple banquet, right?"

It was just a party casually held by friends for fun. If it was really that simple, would Shen Xi spend a whole day preparing for it?

Seeing that Jing Yi noticed something strange, Shen Xi laughed a few times embarrassedly.

It's certainly not just for fun, this masquerade party has invited many single young people from Jiangbei.

"So, you just want to meet a handsome guy?"

Jing Yi and Shen Xi got on the car heading to the final banquet venue.

"Otherwise, there are probably only young people over there, and there must be a lot of handsome guys!"

Jing Yi was noncommittal about Shen Xi's expectations, and was even a little skeptical. He was wearing a mask, so how could she tell if he was a handsome guy?

Shen Xi felt a little disappointed and tapped her forehead lightly, "It's not a full-face mask, how can you not see it?! What's important is temperament! Temperament!"

Jing Yi could only compromise, "Okay, okay! Good luck to you!"

"It's to wish us good luck!" Shen Xi added.

Jing Yi declined the invitation. She was not interested in the party. There might not be handsome guys in Jing Zeqian's company, let alone a dance party.

Her only thought was whether there was any food at the party...

Seeing that Jing Yi didn't reply, Shen Xi continued: "Give me some reaction!"

"what?"

Jing Yi seemed to have just reacted, and her round eyes widened blankly.

Shen Xi sighed helplessly, "I mean, what if you meet a handsome guy at the party, and then he becomes your soulmate, and you live happily ever after..."

"Stop!"

Jing Yi quickly spoke up to interrupt Shen Xi's dreamy reverie. It had always been like this. Whenever he talked about love, he would look like he was in love.

But this person has never been in a relationship, because as soon as someone starts to pursue her, her favorability towards him immediately drops and cools down very quickly.

The most memorable time was when Jing Yi was a junior, when she started to get along well with Shen Xi. During that time, Shen Xi kept pestering her, saying that a certain senior in the senior year was very handsome, the kind of gentleman she liked. Jing Yi's ears were covered with calluses from hearing it so many times.

Even when Jing Yi heard that this person had prepared a super gift as a graduation present for this senior who was about to graduate, she felt that the gift was so expensive at that moment!

Afterwards, her gift was given away, and the senior came to see Shen Xi the next day.

Jing Yi was with Shen Xi at the time and witnessed the senior's confession with her own eyes.

But Jing Yi thought more deeply about it, because her senior was about to graduate, and he confessed to her the day after he received the gift, which made her think more.

She was a little worried that Shen Xi was being cheated on, and even afraid that she would agree right away. Who knew that this person's first reaction would be, "Ah? A relationship?" There was reluctance in her tone.

Not only was the senior surprised, Jing Yi also didn't expect Shen Xi to react like this. She thought they were just a simple relationship of 'rewarding' and 'rewarded'.

Since then, Shen Xi's view on love has always puzzled Jing Yi.

"Don't worry about whether others can meet their Mr. Right. Think about when you can stay calm and not run away when someone confesses their love to you. Then think about other things."

Shen Xi was a little unconvinced, but she couldn't refute it. After all, Jing Yi was right, otherwise she wouldn't have been so keen on looking at handsome guys and still remained single.
