Chapter 55- Rules

Zhi Hei handed Shi Xue a document with listed rules of what she can and cannot do at the party.. She read the document and furrowed her brows.

"What kind of rules are these?"

"Precaution rules, in case something happens"

"...But this one has only one bullet and that is to stay close to you and listen to you. While the rest are no can dos....."

"Yep. This way, I can ensure your safety from wolves"

"... then what about those beauties out there huh? they probably want to gobble you up before those wolves lay their eyes on this sheep of yours!"

"..Doesn't matter."

"Why?"

"Because I'm always yours. Since you ate me already, I'm already yours."

-NIGHT OF THE PARTY-

Shi Xue was wearing a deep blue dress that had a unique cutting that shows her perfect leg shape and length. The dress had some small diamonds on the waist area and a criss crossed back revealing her pale snowy skin. Her hair was a half way tied with a flowery clip as decoration on it. some strands of her hair were curled along with the rest of her hair thats flowing on her back. Her makeup was the same as always, minimal makeup , just a little lip balm tint and a bit of blush making her look glamorous and eye-catching. She was also the only one wearing a masquerade mask that was designed to match with her dress making her feel like a queen. Her every step was filled with elegance as she walked into the party hall. Zhi Hei was behind her, but when she walked in, the disappointed males in the room all brightened up and fixed their ties before attempting to walk over to the mysterious beauty. She had a gentle smile and her dazzling eyes were filled with warmth as she stood there quietly.

She didn't know that she was the center of attention and commotion. She only smiled gently so she didn't think that her normal expression would cause such an uproar. The women in the party who came alone are all miss' from rich families. Their goal is to find their Mr.Right or a rich handsome man to set up marriages as statuses mattered a lot to them. Many of these miss' already had their targets set, but once Shi Xue walked in, everyone's gaze were focused on her. Even though she was wearing a mask, everyone could tell that from her aura alone and the way she acted, she was from a well mannered family. Before any male could reach her, Zhi Hei quickly walked over and held her hand to mark his territory.

Many men and ladies had their hearts broken as they witnessed this scene. Most ladies in the party came as single hoping for a chance to become Zhi Hei's companion for the night. The men here were hoping to find someone they liked either to date for fun or to settle for marriage. Instead of calling this a party, it seemed more of a rich family status match making session. The nervousness that Shi Xue had earlier was gone when she felt Zhi Hei's hand touch hers. She looked at him with a beautiful smile that melted every man's heart in the room.

Zhi Hei held onto her hand tightly as he went to greet the host of the party. Although she didn't understand a word that's being said between them, she gracefully smiled by Zhi Hei's side. She only shook hands and greeted out of politeness when she was being introduced to Zhi Hei's business partners. He also made sure that she never left his side in case something happens to her like last time.

Right before the host began his speech for tonight's party, a couple walked in arm in arm. It was Shi corps representative! Ku Ze Yang and Shi Qi Wing. Shi Qi Wing was wearing an off shoulder styled black dress where some parts of her dress were slightly transparent in the back. Ku Ze Yang was in a black suit matching her dress. One look and everyone knew they were a couple. After Shi Xue's disappearance, rumors were flying within the business field of Shi Xue passing away from heavy illness and the inheritance and company had been handed down to her family. Another version was saying her cousin snatched Ku Ze Yang from Shi Xue and was too heartbroken to see this couple so she left and never came back. Of course, the happiest is Ku Ze yang as he was promoted to being the Vice President in Shi corps after the disappearance of Shi Xue. Many questioned whether her disappearance had anything to do with the couple, but it was cleared up in one of the public events that they were both in separate events the night Shi Xue disappeared so they had an alibi. Therefore, these thoughts were quickly escalated.

Upon entering the party, Shi Xue who didn't care about anyone's existence at the party suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She trembled and turned a bit pale. Her heart raced incredibly fast as she heard the names Ku Ze Yang and Shi Qi Wing. Their footsteps felt like stabs to her heart. She didn't understand why her heart ached this much to the point her eyes turned pink. Zhi Hei's business partner was the first to see her looking abnormal so he quickly stopped their conversation to have Zhi Hei take a look at her first. He noticed her trembling figure and anxious expression. When he turned around, he saw the pigs couple at the entrance gaining attention.

"Dear, are you feeling alright?" he whispered, changing the way he addressed her so others won't hear her name.

She shook her head as she buried herself in his embrace trying to calm herself down by listening to his heartbeat. Her hands clenched onto his navy blue suit wrinkling it.He patted her back and consoled her as he looked for an emptied seat for her to sit down. He knew she was having an anxiety attack most likely from the disgusting couple who just entered. He ordered the waiter to bring her a glass of warm water and covered her as she drank the water peacefully.

She took a few deep breathes and told Zhi Hei that she's feeling a bit dizzy. Zhi Hei couldn't leave the party before the host makes his speech so he could only help her to the balcony outside hoping improve her condition.

When they walked outside, her aura changed completely. Her eyes twinkled as she looked up at the glamorous night sky. "Look! The sky is so beautiful!!! Stars are everywhere!!" The view of the night made her forget her worries. He sighed in relief seeing her speaking normally and happily. He felt this scene very familiar to the first time he met her. She was also very alluring just like tonight and her eyes were smiling with her gorgeous smile. "I see something more beautiful than the night sky" he whispered.

"Ohhh Where? Where?" she asked excitedly.

He hugged her by her waist and looked into her eyes as he said "The girl in front of my eyes. you."
