Creepy

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Things were working out just fine for Bai Ruoxi. Her daily life had been exceptionally ordinary, excluding that one time when she had visited Imperial City University to retrieve her graduation certificate.

There wasn't any graduation ceremony for Bai Ruoxi supposing she was an early graduate student. However, as the very first person in decades to receive a perfect 4.0 GPA and straight As in every course, the professors wanted her to give a motivational speech. Hence, she was dragged around to every class. It was also revealed to everyone that she wasn't Xu Ruoxi as they had known, but Bai Ruoxi, the sole heiress to Bai & Li Enterprise.

It was a chaotic day. In the end, she had chosen to escape and returned home.

Bai Ruoxi was turning twenty-one in a few months. The Bai Family was restless as they began to manage all the necessary arrangements. Bai Ruoxi wanted a simple one, yet her grandfather had thoroughly refused. It was the coming of age tradition that the Bai's celebrated so he wanted it to be as luxurious as possible.

The banquet would be held at Golden Honor Resort, a six-star private venue in Imperial City. The facilities it provided were top notch. Luxury spa, a golf course, hot springs, horse paddock, racing track... you name it. Golden Honor Resort came with a complete set to satisfy its customers thoroughly.

During that day, Bai Ruoxi would be receiving a key pendant. A key was meant to symbolize the limitless possibilities in opening every door. And at the age of twenty-one, a person was considered old enough to be the key holder of his home. Therefore, this birthday was an important turning point for Bai Ruoxi. Not only would she be making her comeback in the elite society, but also be given the authority to lead Bai & Li Enterprise.

She had been waiting for this day. Bai Ruoxi had thought that she was finally a step closer to wreak vengeance upon her aunt and cousin. But to her surprise, they were nowhere to be found since months ago. She had conducted some investigations, yet she still couldn't find them. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Bai Ruoxi suspected that this was a doing of somebody connected to the underworld. She wouldn't be surprised to know if the foolish Xu Linlang and Peng Xinya had ever offended any of them.

Nevertheless, it was a good thing that they weren't around anymore. Bai Ruoxi's only regret was the fact that she couldn't properly return their favor. She wouldn't pursue the matter any further as her hands were already full enough with the company's matter and the preparations for her birthday.

Bai Ruoxi was required to try on countless dresses from numerous shops and boutique, and neither of them suited her taste. They were all too extravagant and made her looked like a new money country bumpkin.

It also didn't help that Xu Liluo's designer, Meng Ya had injured her hands and was taking her time recuperating. She was considered one of the best designers in the country, and if she couldn't do it, none would be able to.

Asides from the dress, she was also the one to handle the invitations. Bai Ruoxi had never even met more than half of the people on the list. Influential families all over the country, aristocrats, nobilities from abroad, and even the four clans from the underworld.

Bai Wangshu, her grandfather and Bai Shizhen were furious when they found out that she had sent invitations to them. For decades, the Bai Family had been known to be the cleanest of all. They had always stayed out from the underworldly matter all along.

News of Bai Ruoxi's invitations to the four clans spread like a wildfire. Most of the socialites ridiculed her as there was absolutely no way for people from the clans to show up merely for her birthday party. They mocked her for her impossible dream and thought she was trying too hard in making her way back into the elite circle.

But we all know it isn't true, right?

On the other side of the city, a certain man couldn't suppress the smug and excitement on his face. For weeks, he had been spending his time leisurely to pick a suit that would match Bai Ruoxi's dress. Jun Yihan knew that she hadn't been able to find a dress yet all this time, and he had just the perfect one for her.

It was a gorgeous, sleeveless crimson dress adorned with an adequate amount of jewels and diamonds. It's a snug fit which helped the dress complimented her breast appropriately while still being comfortable, yet elegant and stylish. Whenever the moonlight shone on it, the dress would seem to be the color of blood. Jun Yihan knew that there wasn't any other dress that would suit her better than it.

He had this dress specifically tailored for her by Jean-Louis Michaux, the man said to be the designer genius of the 21st century. His designs were limited to one piece each and were auctioned for hundreds of millions. Later on, he completely disappeared without a trace, leaving only ten of his greatest masterpiece.

But of course, Jun Yihan had his way of contacting him. What else wouldn't he do for his precious wife?

The day after tomorrow was Bai Ruoxi's big day, yet Jun Yihan seemed to be even busier than the birthday girl. Moreover, now it was him, who couldn't find the perfect suit to match her dress.

"Sire..." Jun Fengmian was on the edge of tearing up. His Young Master was neglecting the piling paperwork and busied himself for a mere suit.

"Have you delivered the dress to her?" Jun Yihan's voice echoed through his walk-in closet.

"I had, Sire. Anonymously per you requested."

The man inside didn't reply, which caused Jun Fengmian to sweat profusely.

Had he made a mistake?! Should he have disregarded Jun Yihan's demand and inserted a name?! Jun Fengmian knew better than anyone that his Young Master could be such a tsundere at times when it came to Bai Ruoxi after all.

In the midst of worrying about his safety, a hand holding a navy colored suit stuck out in front of him.

The corner of Jun Fengmian's lips twitched slightly, "I don't think blue would complement the Young Miss' dress, Sire."

Jun Yihan stuck out another hand. This time, he held a dark grey suit.

"Sire..." Jun Fengmian cried inwardly, "Why don't you wear the same color as Young Miss? The both of you will match perfectly."

Another silence...

Jun Fengmian's heart started to pound against his rib cage, pondering had he just made another mistake.

"Wouldn't it be creepy?"

'Yes, it's creepy! You're creepy since the very start, Sire! How did you even know the Young Miss' exact measurements if you weren't creepy?! It's too late to even reminisce about it!'

Yet contracting to his miserable thoughts, Jun Fengmian flashed a smile to hide his inwardly flowing tears. "Of course not, Sire. The Young Miss will surely be pleased!"

Let's just hope she will...
