Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Matching

Chapter 82 Matching

Li Yue had to pinch herself to stop herself from mocking this crazy man. Him? A six foot tall man with all the right muscles, wanted to act like a wallflower? Did he see himself walk? Or stare? All of the man's actions were not low key at all! How was he supposed to act like a damn wall flower?

After days of arguing, Li Yue finally decided to give up. With Mo Li as her escort, there was no way that she could still sit down and watch Lu Xinyi do something to Li Weiwei. She let out a sigh.

"I don't think you look good without a smile." Suddenly, Mo Li's voice echoed behind her. She turned towards the man wearing his perfectly tailored black suit. Mo Li was standing by the door, a smile was apparent on his face. "Smile." He said. Li Yue complied.

"Your way of telling someone that they are beautiful is quite weird." Li Yue was wearing a floor length black and gold high neck long sleeve see through dress with a lace thigh length split in front. She paired it with a black six inch stiletto and a clutch that matches the gold embroidery of her dress.

Everything was of course, provided by Mo Li to make their outfit match. By now, Li Yue had guessed that the one who suggested this masquerade was also Mo Li. After all, the dress and everything about their outfit needed time to prepare. If her guess was right, Mo Li started preparing for this banquet a few months back.

She let out another sigh inwardly. In the past few days, Li Yue had been wondering if Mo Li was still doing this for the silly promise. Or… was it something else?

Mo Li's gaze darted from her head to toe before he dragged his eyes back to her face. "You look so beautiful. I think my decision to make this a masquerade was perfect. No one would be able to see your face once you have a mask on." He approached her and showed a matching black and gold mask.

Then Mo Li put the mask on her face, making sure that the delicate tie was tied on the back of her up do. Even the mask perfectly fit her face. This man…

After making sure that the mask was clearly secured, Mo Li put his own mask and pulled her towards the mirror. Looking at their reflection, Li Yue smiled and nodded in approval. With their matching black and gold clothes and masks, everyone would be able to tell that they were lovers. So much for being wallflowers.

Yep! Surely, no one would be able to tell that her mask was actually made of gold! "Wallflower huh." Li Yue uttered in a low voice.

"Oh. Yes… let's just stand at the corner and ignore everyone else." He said merrily as he pulled her towards the door. Outside of the hotel, a white limousine was already waiting for them. Yep… totally normal for a guest to ride a white limousine that looked like they were about to marry each other rather than attend a banquet. Li Yue could only lament silently.

To be honest, she couldn't really say something mean to Mo Li. It was not like she liked the man or felt something for him. Li Yue was sure that what she felt inside was nothing but emptiness. However, she still feels that she owed the man. For some reason, she felt like he reminded her of someone; someone she once knew.

In the past few days, Li Yue realized that she couldn't really show her true colors to Mo Li. She had been trying for days now. She wanted to show him that she was manipulative and only valued benefits and money. She wanted to show him that she was actually ruthless and not some cat that needed fondling every now and then.

To her surprise, her body refused to listen to her brains. Was that even logical? In the end, Li Yue continued to act like a docile simpleton who only asked questions and nodded at his words.

"Are you cold?" He asked. The ride towards the banquet venue should only take about five minutes, so Li Yue knew this was nothing but Mo Li's attempt to create a strain of conversation.

"No. But… I think I'm nervous."

"Oh! Do you want to pee? Does your stomach hurt?"

She gave him a weird look. "No, I'm good." She was not planning to take off her mask anyway. So there was really no need to be nervous at all. With Mo Li's planning, Li Yue was certain that the only thing that could go wrong was Lizzy and Lu Xinyi's scheme.

"We're here." Mo Li smiled. He got out of the limousine and held his hand in front of her. Li Yue immediately grabbed it. "Don't let go." He said. "We are at the back entrance. The people who attend this banquet always love the attention. They love to show off and let everyone know that they were invited. So… they use the one with a lot of paparazzi and media reporters. Almost no one uses the back entrance for this reason."

Li Yue nodded in response and as instructed, she didn't let go of his huge warm hands. The two traversed an empty corridor for a few seconds before they finally arrived inside the venue. The sweet music wafted through the air, it was warm and welcoming. Chandeliers sparkled against the wine as the smell of something sweet lingered in the air.

"Relax… just ignore everyone else and stay with me." She heard him say. "Let's just pretend they don't exist." He added, amusement flashed in his voice. In response, Li Yue nodded, her scarlet red lips tugged upwards into a beautiful smile, her eyes silently scanned the guests, hoping she would catch a glimpse of the beautiful female lead with the male lead. "Let's go get some wine and find a place where we can hide."

Mo Li's words earned a small chuckle from Li Yue.
