What was going on?
Bai Xue wanted to chase after the limousine. "Sikong Heng, wait up!"
But the limousine didn't stop and sped away.
Bai Xue froze on the spot, completely confused. She and Sikong Heng had been getting along well, but when she woke up, he had disappeared without any warning and was with Little Princess Sara.
From the looks of it, Sikong Heng and Little Princess Sara were very close.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone sounded. Bai Xue had an incoming call. It was from Jun Xiqing.
Bai Xue picked up the call. "Hello, Qingqing."
"Ah Xue, what are you doing now? It's Madam Sikong's 50th birthday party tonight. Are you ready?" Jun Xiqing asked.
Bai Xue tugged at her phone. "Qingqing, I just saw Doctor Sikong and Little Princess Sara together."
"This …" Jun Xiqing hesitated. "Ah Xue, there are some rumors going around. Do you want to hear them?"
"Go ahead."
Bai Xue already had a bad feeling about this.
"Ah Xue, there are rumors that Doctor Sikong and Little Princess Sara are together. Doctor Sikong will be bringing Little Princess Sara to the birthday party tonight. This birthday party is actually Doctor Sikong's engagement party."
What?
Bai Xue sucked in a breath of cold air. Sikong Heng was getting engaged tonight?
He was getting engaged to Little Princess Sara?
"Ah Xue, you and Doctor Sikong can't go on like this forever. There has to be an end. Doctor Sikong isn't young anymore and he's the only son of the Sikong family. Even if he's willing to wait for you, the Sikong family won't be able to.
"I think Doctor Sikong must have compromised with the family this time. He doesn't want to continue like this with you. He's really getting engaged."
Jun Xiqing's words echoed in Bai Xue's ears. She knew that this was a problem between her and Sikong Heng. She had always been unwilling to get married.
But this time, Xiao Ling's appearance had undone the knot in her heart. He had helped Xiao Ling recover and helped her walk out of her trauma. Everything was fine now.
If he wanted to get married, he didn't … ask her.
How did he end up with Princess Sara?
After Bai Xue's sadness subsided, she felt angry. Even if he wanted to end things with her and be with Princess Sara, he should have told her face to face. They were just sleeping together a few hours ago.
What was the meaning of this?
No, she had to find him!
Bai Xue hurriedly hung up the call and dialed Sikong Heng's number. His ringtone sounded from the other end.
Soon, the call connected. Bai Xue quickly said, "Doctor Sikong, you …"
"Hello, Miss Bai. My boss is busy now. The VIPs attending the birthday party have arrived one after another. My boss is entertaining the VIPs, so he doesn't have time to answer your call."
It wasn't Sikong Heng, but his personal assistant.
"…"
Bai Xue wasn't a child. She knew that Sikong Heng wasn't picking up her call on purpose.
White Snow was on the verge of cursing out loud. Fuck!
She hung up the phone forcefully.
…
Bai Xue walked over to Jun Xiqing. "Qingqing, you have an invitation to the birthday party, right? Take me to Sikong Heng now!"
Bai Xue pulled Jun Xiqing away.
"Ah Xue, wait a moment. Doctor Sikong must be at the party now. Let's dress up and go look for him."
"Alright."
At this moment, Jun Xiqing batted her lashes playfully and snapped her fingers. The door was pushed open and a group of people walked in.
"Ah Xue, this is the makeup artist and hairstylist. This is the gown and shoes you'll be wearing tonight. Hurry and sit down, I'm going to dress you up beautifully tonight." Jun Xiqing pressed Bai Xue down onto the chair.
Bai Xue didn't feel right. "Qingqing, you're making it too grand. I think …"
"Ah Xue!" Jun Xiqing waved her hand and asked, "Let me ask you, are you going to look for Doctor Sikong?"
"Of course."
"Do you like Doctor Sikong?"
"Of course."
"Doctor Sikong is going to be engaged to Princess Sara tonight. Are you going to snatch him back?"
Bai Xue finally understood. She looked at Jun Xiqing. "Qingqing, you want me to go snatch the wedding?"
"It's fine if you don't. Doctor Sikong will belong to Princess Sara!"
"No way!" Bai Xue's seductive eyes lit up. "Alright, I'll go snatch the wedding then!"
Jun Xiqing's red lips curved upwards, chuckling to herself.
…
Two hours later.
Jun Xiqing looked at Bai Xue in awe. "Ah Xue, oh my god, you're so beautiful tonight."
Bai Xue lifted her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
She had changed into a white lace evening gown. The pure and elegant gauze skirt outlined her perfect and exquisite figure. Her wavy hair was casually tied up with a phoenix hairpin. A few strands of hair hung by the side of her bright and beautiful face. She was so beautiful that it took one's breath away.
Bai Xue was a little dazed as she looked at herself. "Qingqing, I don't think it's appropriate for me to dress like this."
"Why is it inappropriate, Ah Xue?"
"Why do I feel like you're going to get married in this dress?"
Jun Xiqing nodded. "Ah Xue, that's right. We're going to snatch the bride tonight. Think about it, once you appear, you'll definitely steal all the limelight from Princess Sara. By then, Doctor Sikong will be stunned by you and all his attention will be on you. Won't we succeed then?"
Bai Xue felt like she had been brainwashed by Jun Xiqing. She felt more and more strange. Something was wrong?
Had Qingqing dug a trap for her to jump into?
Sensing Bai Xue's suspicious gaze on her, Jun Xiqing quickly smiled. "Ah Xue, we should go!"
…
Sikong Residence.
This birthday party was extremely extravagant and grand. All the upper-class and socialites were present and the place was filled with champagne and laughter.
Bai Xue and Jun Xiqing arrived in a luxurious car. They drove straight to the lawn of Sikong Residence without any obstructions.
"Ah Xue, we're here."
Bai Xue got out of the car and looked around. This was her first time at the Sikong Residence. It was a huge castle, majestic and beautiful.
But Bai Xue herself was of noble birth and had been in the royal family since she was young, so she appeared elegant and generous.
"Miss Bai, you're finally here. Our Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me." The butler of the Sikong Family came out to welcome her.
Bai Xue's lashes quivered. Sikong Heng was waiting for her?
It couldn't be. Wasn't Sikong Heng with Princess Sara? Why was he waiting for her?
"Butler, is your Young Master really going to get engaged tonight?"
Bai Xue asked worriedly, afraid that Jun Xiqing would confuse her.
The butler smiled and nodded. "Yes, our Young Master is going to get engaged to the most beautiful lady here tonight."
Bai Xue lifted her eyes. There was a glass door in front of her. The door was closed, but she could see the bright lights inside.
Sikong Heng was inside.
Bai Xue held Jun Xiqing's hand. "Qingqing, let's go in together."
Jun Xiqing took a step back, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Bai Xue. "Ah Xue, I won't be accompanying you in. Doctor Sikong is inside, you can go in by yourself." Bai Xue nodded.
Go in by herself?
Bai Xue's heart tightened. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"Ah Xue, don't be nervous. No one is forcing you now. Just think about it. Is Doctor Sikong worth it for you to take this step? Has he made you like him enough to be willing to take this step for him?
"If it's possible, Ah Xue, then take this step bravely. Don't look back, just be happy. You're about to start a new, exciting and sweet life."
Seeing the gentle smile on Jun Xiqing's face, Bai Xue took a deep breath.
Now, her mind was filled with Sikong Heng's refined and handsome face. Was he worth it?
If he was, then don't look back. Take this step bravely.
Bai Xue walked forward.
Jun Xiqing smiled.
The butler smiled as well. "Miss Bai, please follow me."
Arriving at the glass door, the butler reached out and pushed it open.
With a loud bang, the door opened.
Bai Xue walked in. She immediately saw Sikong Heng standing in the middle of the crowd. He was standing in the middle of the bright lights.
Tonight, Sikong Heng was dressed in a white shirt with a black blazer. He was tall and handsome, the dazzling lights shining on his shoulders, casting a golden glow over them. His thin lips curved upwards as he smiled at her.
Bai Xue froze. She scanned the crowd with her alluring eyes, and everyone's gazes landed on her. They were filled with shock, envy, and blessings.
Bai Xue saw many familiar faces. Her parents were here, standing together with Sikong's father and Madam Sikong. The parents of both families had tears of happiness in their eyes. Old Madam was sitting on a carved chair, looking at her with satisfaction. Fu Qinglun and Lin Shiyu, whom she had not seen for a long time, were beside her.
Princess Sara was there too. She looked at her with a sweet and kind expression, her eyes filled with blessings.
Everyone was smiling.
Bai Xue suddenly understood everything.
She had fallen into the trap.
Sikong Heng wasn't with Princess Sara at all. Qingqing was lying to her. This was a scam. Everyone knew it. She was the only one who was kept in the dark.
At this moment, Sikong Heng walked over. He slowly stretched out his fair hand. "Ah Xue, you can say that I'm lying to you. But I'm actually taking a gamble. I'm betting that you will definitely take this step and come to my side.
"Ah Xue, you've taken the first step. Leave the next 99 steps to me. Now you just need to tell me whether you're willing or not."
Bai Xue's clear eyes instantly welled up. This big liar, he had actually set a trap for her to fall into.
But Bai Xue curved her red lips and slowly stretched out her fair hand. "Doctor Sikong, yes. Ido."
