Chapter 22: Mole

Yu Ying was stunned. "What do you mean?"

The waiter smiled in embarrassment. "I always thought that the mole in the middle of your cheek was natural, but it seems that your makeup has fallen off." 

He was still a little afraid of exposing someone with an almost perfect persona.

Yu Ying narrowed her eyes and took out a small mirror from her bag. She still had that fair and delicate face with exquisite facial features and contours, but the small signature mole in the middle of her cheek seemed to be gone.

The mirror shook and reflected the longevity locket on her chest. The silver longevity locket seemed to have turned vaguely black.

It must be because she didn't maintain it regularly. Silver accessories were prone to oxidation. It seemed that if the longevity locket got knocked around just a bit, it would affect the items she was stealing.

It did not matter. She just had to take care of it, and those things would still be hers.

Yu Ying took out an eyeliner from her bag, looked in the mirror, and drew the small beauty mole on her cheek.

At this moment, Zhou Miao had already found a set of clothes for Cheng Heng. Walking into the room, she saw Cheng Heng sitting there in a daze. His upper body was naked while his lower body was covered by a blanket.

"Are you feeling better? I've found some clothes. Let's go home now."

Cheng Heng raised his head and gazed at her. His dazed eyes brightened for a moment, and he stared at her face for a long time without moving.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Zhou Miao touched her own face and asked.

Cheng Heng's hand gently touched a part of her cheek.

"It has changed back." His words did not make any sense at all.

Had her appearance changed back? She had only recovered 10% of her looks. Surely the change could not be that great?

"Put on your clothes first. Let's go home." Zhou Miao carried the clothes and comforted Cheng Heng in a low voice.

Cheng Heng looked at her and suddenly pulled her into his arms. Caught off guard, she sat on Cheng Heng's lap suddenly.

Zhou Miao jumped in shock and hurriedly broke free, stuffing the clothes into Cheng Heng's arms. "Change into your new clothes first. I'm going to the bathroom." 

Did she… touch something just now?

Zhou Miao stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at her own flushed face.

Cheng Heng's sudden action frightened her, and the thing she touched also made her feel a moment of fear. Too many things had happened tonight, and she felt that her thoughts were a mess.

In the mirror, her face was still rough and haggard, but there seemed to be something different about it.

Zhou Miao scrutinized herself carefully and found that there was a small mole in the middle of her left cheek.

This small mole added a touch of coyness and made her bland face more recognizable.

Was Cheng Heng referring to this mole when he said it had changed back?

Zhou Miao walked out of the bathroom. Cheng Heng had already put on his clothes, but his face and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

"Let's go home." Zhou Miao held his hand and locked her fingers with his, pulling him out of the room.

"Madam, Zhou Miao and the Second Young Master have gone home." The waiter said in a low voice as he poured wine into Yu Ying's glass. 

"Has the Second Young Master gone crazy?"

"No, he only threw a tantrum in front of some guests and didn't do anything else after that." 

Yu Ying furrowed her brows. Initially, she had thought that she could embarrass him, but she did not expect that this Zhou Miao was actually able to soothe the drunk Cheng Heng. Not only had she changed, but she had also become smarter.

"Ms. Yu, thank you for your invitation. I thank you on behalf of the Business Alliance of Port City." 

A man's voice suddenly rang out behind her. "Ms. Yu, thank you very much. Although Port City and Cirrus City are very far apart, the Business Alliance of Port City would love to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Cheng's Group, Ms. Yu."

The one who spoke was one of the invited guests to this banquet. He was called Andy, and his Chinese name was not known. It was said that he hailed from an old aristocratic family in Port City. His family had connections with corporations dealing with foreign capital. His family business was vast and powerful, but his identity was mysterious.

"I'm also looking forward to it." Yu Ying was very happy to receive appreciation from such a character. She clinked glasses with the man and smiled politely.

The next second, she saw the jade coin hanging on the man's body. Under the dazzling light of the banquet hall, it exuded a warm glow.

Wasn't this the item that was found in Zhou Miao's house earlier?

Yu Ying looked at the jade coin in a daze, and some images suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.

Zhou Miao was standing in an ancient, traditional large mansion. Everyone was surrounding her like stars surrounding the moon. There was an elder beside her holding her hand, sobbing silently.

There was a red string in front of her chest, and on the red string was the jade coin.
