Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

After the commotion that delayed the group lunch that CK show organizers arranged for every invitees, the models, idols, and celebrities that were scattered earlier finally regrouped at the cafeteria to gather around and introduced themselves to each other.

"Hello, everyone… I am Erica Wang."

"Hi, I am Wu Lei."

"My name is Lucy Zhou."

One by one, the stars that gathered at a long table said their names in an orderly manner.

When it was time for Ran Xueyi to introduce herself, everyone's attention locked on her, especially since she was sitting on the last order. "I am Ran Xueyi… Pleased to work with everyone."

After she spoke, Lucy Zhou was curious about something and asked her, "I remember you have another stage name… Estelle, right?"

Ran Xueyi nodded. "Yes."

"Why aren't you using it now? The name Estelle sounds better."

Ran Xueyi laughed awkwardly and answered, "I always used Ran Xueyi, my real name, after my debut. But after moving to Ren Country three years ago, my management decided for me to get a stage name. And so, when I finally returned to the mainland, I thought it was better for me to use Ran Xueyi."

"There's no better and worse when it comes to one's names. It's always what you think is best for you."

Ran Xueyi chose the name Estelle among other names because of the meaning 'Star'.

Being a star means people will always look up to you and no one can ever bring you down.

The gathering at the cafeteria ended in a smooth note. Even Lin Hua and Xuan Yi, who was in odds with each other due to their previous confrontation did not say anything to each other and proceeded to do their own businesses.

Ran Xueyi and Adelle took this chance to go back to their rooms since there was nothing else in the program list that was handed to them. But later that night, they would have to gather again inside the hotel's hall.

Since there was a party later that night, Adelle booked a hairstylist and makeup artist beforehand, and had them go to Ran Xueyi's room.

The hairstylist arrived earlier. He was a Caucasian man with a sun-kissed skin and long black straight hair that stopped at his shoulder. He introduced himself as Allan Caster.

With a sway of his hips, he went to stand behind Ran Xueyi and glanced at her hair.

Adelle supervised and observed him work on the side and asked, "The dress will be velvet royal blue with a thigh high slit. Please, Allan, make the hair suit the dress."

"Don't worry, my dears." He placed his hands on Ran Xueyi's shoulders and smiled at her at the mirror, "Even though the tip of your hair cuticle is slightly damaged, I'll make you a seductress tonight."

Ran Xueyi politely returned his smile and said, "…That would be much appreciated."

Suddenly, a knock was heard outside the room.

The makeup artist finally arrived.

…

Almost an hour later, Ran Xueyi came out of the bedroom after changing. Right now, she was wrapped in a tight fitted dress that flattered her curves. The slit that came from her toes to the mid of her thighs created a shadow of temptation that no one could resist. Her makeup and hairstyle made it even more impossible for anyone to lower their gaze.

Adelle and the hired help stood in awe when they saw a beautiful goddess stepping out of the bedroom. Ran Xueyi looked enchanting with oozing deadly aura that one would like to covet and exchange for anything just to attain.

Allan whistled in accordance to what he felt. His eyes has been dazzled. "Lady, are you perhaps single? I wouldn't mind being your servant for the rest of my life."

As he said this, he took his chance to reach out to kiss the back of her hand.

Ran Xueyi looked at Adelle, who was also staring back at her.

After paying Allan and the makeup artist Lianne, Adelle approached Ran Xueyi with a box.

Ran Xueyi raised her eyebrow and stared at her with a questioning gaze.

Adelle did not respond and just opened the box. Upon opening it, a sapphire gemstone in a shape of a tear and framed by silver chain and diamonds was revealed.

Ran Xueyi asked, "… Where did you get this?"

Adelle flashed a cheeky smile and replied, "The Big Boss handed this out to me before leaving. He told me to have you wear it when you go to the party."

Ran Xueyi didn't expect Song Yu Han to secretly do this. The sapphire glistened beautifully under the lights, it was almost blinding. The color of the gemstone was the purest she'd ever seen. How much was this anyway?

What Ran Xueyi did not know was that the gemstone was bought at a shockingly high price of 140,000 dollars per carat. And the gemstone that was made out of that necklace was 200 carats! In addition the diamonds that surrounded the gemstone was also expensive!

Song Yu Han bought the entire necklace for only 30 million dollars.

If she had known how much he had spent on that necklace, Ran Xueyi would have refused and stopped him from buying it.

Fortunately, he had secretly handed it over to Adelle and ordered her to only bring it out when Ran Xueyi was going to the scheduled party.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? Big Boss sure has a good taste when it comes to jewelries." Adelle innocently gave the necklace to Ran Xueyi, not knowing how expensive and precious it was. If she had known, she might have brought out a palanquin for it to sit on before carefully giving it back to Ran Xueyi.

…

"Call me if there's anything." Since it was already announced that only the invitees were to come into the party without their assistants and managers, Adelle could only retire to her room.

Handing Ran Xueyi a coat to wear when it grew colder, she carefully said, "Make sure to not get a cold. Also, I'll pick you up when it's 12 o'clock."

"Alright, fairy godmother," Ran Xueyi laughed.

It was already half past eight in the evening, the party will start around 9 pm. There must be some people who already arrived in the hall, Ran Xueyi thought to herself. Going to the party earlier than the others would be the best move to get a good grasp of the situation and get to know everyone.

However, Ran Xueyi had to go somewhere…

Ran Xueyi stepped out of her room with Adelle and bid her farewell. She was slightly feeling uneasy without Adelle, but there's nothing she could do about it. The organizers clearly told everyone not to bring their managers, but they could retire early if they bored.

Ran Xueyi planned to do just that. She wanted to go back after staying for an hour at the party.

But for now, she had to meet up with Xie Xing.

As she was walking in the corridor of the hotel, Ran Xueyi heard her phone chiming.

She looked at who texted her and saw that it was Xie Xing.

[My room number is 702 in the 32nd floor. Xie Xing.]

Ran Xueyi frowned when she saw the message.

Xie Xing's message was very straight to the point. There was no need to think deeply on it.

Ping!

Another text message arrived.

[Did you like the necklace?]

Ran Xueyi finally smiled and quickly replied.

[I like it very much. Thank you, hubby!]

After sending the reply, Ran Xueyi put her phone back to her small pouch when she suddenly received a call.

Without even looking at who called her, Ran Xueyi answered.

Soon, the deep and melodious voice of Song Yu Han was produced. "Are you having fun at the party?"

"I haven't gone there yet."

Song Yu Han stopped walking and asked, "Why? Did something happen?"

He glanced at his wristwatch and saw that it was fifteen minutes before nine. Why was Ran Xueyi still not at the party? It wasn't like her since she was the punctual sort.

Ran Xueyi did not intend to hide anything to Song Yu Han and readily said, "Senior Xie called me to his room to talk. I thought it would be better to end our misunderstanding and regain our lost friendship so I agreed to meet him."

Song Yu Han's eyebrows gathered in the center of his forehead as his voice slightly grew colder. "Which room is it?"

Ran Xueyi knew he's worried and gave the room and floor number to him while thinking that he'll order Adelle once again to check on her and pick her up.

After ending their call, Ran Xueyi proceeded to the elevator to go to the 32nd floor.

On the other hand, Song Yu Han who was standing in the middle of a hotel lobby gestured Guo Yun to have Little Zhanzhan go to the presidential suite room that he booked.

Guo Yun wordlessly did as he was told with a heart full of worries.

The Big Boss' expression just now looked extremely scary. Did something bad happen to the Madam?
