She picked up the clothes and helped Selina put them on with numb movements.

Selina, perhaps feeling embarrassed or perhaps trying to appear less bad, took the clothes and said, "Okay, I'll do the rest myself."

After getting dressed, Selina didn't seem to want Wen Xiaoman to stay here any longer, so she said softly to Qiao Siyue, "Joe, let her go."

Qiao Siyue also felt that it was about time, so he waved his hand, as if to drive away something unpleasant, and returned Wen Xiaoman's previous words to her intactly: "Go away, it's really disgusting."

Hearing this, Wen Xiaoman immediately turned around and staggered out of the suffocating room.

......

After going out, Wen Xiaoman ran a long way until she reached a deserted place. She slid down to the ground with her back against the cold door panel. The huge humiliation came over her again, almost suffocating her.

She bit her arm hard to stop herself from crying out loud.

She suppressed her discomfort and called Su Yutang.

When the call was connected, Su Yutang immediately realized that something was wrong with Wen Xiaoman and asked, "Xiaoman, what's wrong with you? Your voice...are you crying?"

Wen Xiaoman sniffed hard, wiped away the tears that kept flowing with the back of her hand, and tried to make her voice sound normal, "No, I didn't cry."

Su Yutang naturally didn't believe it: "The call was suddenly disconnected just now. I was very worried. Did Qiao Siyue make things difficult for you? Did he do anything to you?"

Wen Xiaoman knew he couldn't hide it, so he grumbled, "Hmm," with a heavy nasal tone. "He...he heard our conversation, and, and he said that if he wanted to get Yanyan back, he had to...he had to exchange Xiao Ayan for her."

Mentioning this condition, her emotions became agitated again. "But he's a scumbag, he's not worthy of being a father! If little Ayan falls into his hands, he will definitely not treat her well."

Su Yutang was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and asked curiously, "Why do you say that? Isn't he the child's father?"

Wen Xiaoman shook her head: "He has changed. I don't recognize him anymore. He is completely different from the person I remember. Tangtang, I don't want to hand little Ayan over to such a devil!"

Hearing Xiaoman's almost collapsed voice, Su Yutang's heart also tightened, but she immediately comforted her: "Xiaoman, don't worry, we don't need to exchange Xiao Ayan to rescue you and Yanyan. We have already thought of a way."

Wen Xiaoman's crying stopped abruptly, and she asked anxiously, "What can I do?"

Su Yutang lowered her voice and slowly revealed her plan: "We found out that the night after tomorrow, a top club under the Chemosi family will host a grand masquerade ball. According to tradition, Qiao Siyue will definitely attend. On such occasions, all participants must wear masks, which gives us an opportunity."

Wen Xiaoman's heart was lifted: "Masquerade?"

"Yes." Su Yutang continued, "When the time comes, you will find a way to attend with Qiao Siyue. We will prepare a professionally trained woman with a body similar to yours in advance. She will use a mask as a cover at the ball. We will find a suitable opportunity to have her switch with you, and then we will take you away."

Wen Xiaoman was a little worried: "This plan...will it work? Qiao Siyue is very cautious."

Su Yutang said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's feasible. The masquerade is a complex environment with a large flow of people. It's difficult to immediately identify people wearing masks. We will deploy our own people inside and outside the venue in advance to coordinate and find the most appropriate time to act."

"What about Yanyan?" Wen Xiaoman asked.

Su Yutang had clearly thought it through. "When Qiao Siyue attends the masquerade, he'll take most of his elite confidants with him. The manor's security will be relatively weakened. All you need to do is tell us Yanyan's location and the manor's internal security arrangements in as much detail as possible. We'll send some people in to infiltrate the manor and rescue Yanyan."

When Wen Xiaoman heard this plan, he felt like he had been given a shot of adrenaline.

She nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"Okay." Su Yutang finally reminded, "Be careful and keep in touch at any time."

......

The day of the masquerade.

Qiao Siyue originally didn't plan to bring Wen Xiaoman with him.

Wen Xiaoman said, "I am your fiancée. I will have to accompany you to social events in the future to familiarize you with the environment and people. Take me with you to the dance tonight."

It was rare for her to take the initiative, and Qiao Siyue was indeed a little surprised.

He looked at Wen Xiaoman. Although he didn't know what she was planning, he thought that keeping her by his side would be much more interesting than keeping her in the manor.

He wanted to see what tricks she could come up with.

"It's up to you." He finally agreed coldly, which was considered as an agreement.

Qiao Siyue ordered people to prepare the dress and matching mask for the ball in advance.

A professional stylist was invited to the manor to dress up Wen Xiaoman carefully.

Looking at herself in the mirror with exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, as if she had become a different person, Wen Xiaoman secretly clenched her fists and told herself that she must stay calm.

When Little Candy saw her auntie wearing a beautiful sequined dress and a mask inlaid with feathers, she knew she was going out. She immediately ran over, hugged Wen Xiaoman's legs, raised her little face, and asked eagerly: "Auntie, go, Little Candy, you want to go too..."

That means, can I bring some candy with me?

Wen Xiaoman had an idea. If he could bring Xiao Tangguo with him, wouldn't he be able to meet Yutang directly at the dance party and leave together?

She looked at Qiao Siyue with a hint of anticipation: "Can you take her with you? I will take good care of her."

Without thinking, Jos refused outright: "No, that's not a place for children."

His tone was unquestionable.

Wen Xiaoman had no choice but to squat down, touch Xiao Tangguo's face, and comfort her: "Xiao Tangguo, just wait for Auntie at home, okay? Auntie will be back to accompany you as soon as possible."

Although little Candy was reluctant, she nodded her head sensibly and said in a baby voice, "...Okay."

Auntie, come back soon.

Before leaving, Wen Xiaoman looked at Qiao Siyue again with concern and reminded him: "Take good care of Little Tangguo. She must not make any mistakes."

Qiao Siyue frowned impatiently: "You don't need to remind me repeatedly, my people will naturally take good care of her."

He turned around and said indifferently, "I'm leaving."

Wen Xiaoman took one last look at Xiao Tangguo, put on his mask, followed Qiao Siyue into the car.

The car arrived at the club where the masquerade ball was held.

At the entrance, men and women wearing various exquisite masks were walking back and forth, which was very mysterious. Everyone's true identity and face were hidden under the mask.
