Chapter 11: Birthday Party

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sky River Hotel was a very famous hotel in Jianghai City and a month’s booking in advance was needed to hold a birthday or banquet there. While Ye Qingxue booked for the rotating restaurant on the eleventh floor, it was up to the hotel to decide which floor to give her.

The eleventh floor was made entirely from glass and one could see the colorful lighting and crystal clear decorations from the outside. It also looked like a giant crystal palace that resembled a giant mushroom. The bottom of the building would be its stem and the giant crystal on top was the cap.

Each floor had its own unique decorations and as each storey increased, so would the status of the person the floor was accommodating. Although Sky River Hotel was open to the public, the average person would not be able to reserve the eleventh floor by lack of monetary power.

The Sky River Hotel’s decoration was very well thought out. The first to third floor would be the living rooms and its decoration was very elegant. The beer and coffee provided there was free and many rich people liked the environment here as they would often sit there to read magazines or newspapers. There were also people who came here specifically to make new friends.

The fourth floor was a banquet hall, the most average banquet hall in the building. Despite the word average being used here, its decoration was still extremely luxurious.

The guest rooms were located on the fifth floor to the ninth floor. The prices for these rooms were not cheap, ranging between 998 to 9998 RMB. Furthermore, the vibe given off by each room was different and there were all types of services to go along.

The gym was located on the tenth floor and was often filled with people.

Xia Tian’s attire was rather casual, and this made him stand out as he entered the place together with the others who were in suits and decent clothing. Hence, Xia Tian was relatively underdressed.

Although the security personnel and service staff found Xia Tian’s attire rather off-putting, they did not stop him from entering. After all, one would need to pay to reach their desired floors. The only exceptions were the fourth and eleventh floor but there were many security personnel there. If they discovered an uninvited guest, they would immediately kick him or her out of the venue.

Ye Qingxue was very happy that day as it was her twentieth birthday. Her mother had reserved the entire Sky River Hotel’s eleventh floor in order to throw her a birthday party. She had invited her good friends, and naturally, there were those who had gatecrashed her party. There were also a few of her mother’s business partner’s sons and daughters.

“Qingxue, this is a perfume from Chanel. Happy birthday.”

“Here’s an LV handbag. Happy birthday.”

“This is a pair of high heels from CL. Happy birthday dear.”

Ye Qingxue’s friends presented her their gifts one after another. Naturally, there were some normal gifts as well as there were a few poor people that were attending the same class as her. The gifts they had given to her were less than a few hundred dollars but Ye Qingxue was still happy and thankful to everyone.

Ye Qingxue was in a white full-dress that day. She was like an angel that had descended down into the mortal realm. Her purity attracted everyone’s attention and not a single man was spared. Even the girls were looking at her with envy, jealousy, and some even thought that she was way beyond their reach.

The number of people with gifts started growing but Ye Qingxue remained sincere and thankful to everyone. However, she seemed to be out of the zone as dozens of men had already confessed their love to her.

However, her soul did not seem to be here at all, as if she were waiting for someone to appear.

“Ms Ye, your beauty is truly off the charts. Can you please consider my love one more time?” A second-generation rich youngster walked towards her elegantly as he confessed sincerely.

Many people watched enviously as this rich young master confessed his love in such a straightforward fashion.

“She’s so beautiful. I’m willing to give up ten years of my life just to be her boyfriend.”

“Stop daydreaming. A girl like her is way out of our league. Look at those second-generation rich kids, the competition is already incredibly intense among them.

“Look who’s here.”

The crowd shifted their attention to the entrance. A man in a suit and leather shoes with a graceful air about him walked towards her. He had a big bouquet of roses in his hand and everyone gasped when they saw him.

“He’s Wang Nianlin, one of the four princes of Jianghai. He’s a third-year student at Jianghai University and the vice president of Jianghai University Student Council.”

“It’s really him. He’s the Ye Qingxue number-one-fan. I heard that he has been pursuing Ye Qingxue ever since she enrolled into Jianghai University.”

“I wonder what he’s getting up to this time.”

The second-generation rich youngsters and the sons of the high-ranking officers stared at Wang Nianlin in jealousy. Although Wang Nianlin was also a second-generation rich youngster himself, his father was the founder of a publicly listed company and it was a family business.

One could say that he was a man of great power in Jianghai City and many would please him no matter what if they had the chance.

Wang Nianlin walked rather firmly as every step he took was filled with confidence. However, a woman in casual clothing entered and the attention she attracted was far more than him. This woman did not put on any make-up at all but her beauty was certainly on par with Ye Qingxue. While Ye Qingxue gave off a pure and fantastic vibe, this girl was oozing with simplicity and natural beauty.

“Qingxue, it looks like I’m not late. This is a writing brush made by my father.” The girl was not lady-like at all as she strode past Wang Nianlin.

Although Wang Nianlin was incredibly unhappy, he could not do a thing to this girl.

“Looks like luck is on our side today. We’re able to meet the two most beautiful girls in Jianghai University. Even she has appeared.”

“Ye Qingxue is ranked number four and this girl is just one rank lower than her. If it wasn’t for her strong, intimidating personality, her ranking might just be higher than Ye Qingxue.”

“It’s her. The president of Jianghai University Student Council, Huo Wennu. I’ve never heard of someone having Huo as the surname before.”

The crowd plunged into discussion with the appearance of Huo Wennu 1 . Huo Wennu and Ye Qingxue were best of friends at Jianghai University and it was only natural that the former would attend the latter’s birthday party. The crowd knew that Ye Qingxue was an elegant girl and her writing brush would be the best in the entire university. Hence, Huo Wennu decided to gift her one.

“It’s from the Qing Dynasty. Sister Wen, you didn’t steal this out from your house, did you?” Ye Qingxue was shocked as she looked at the writing brush in her hand. How could she not know the origin of this writing brush?

Huo Wennu had unexpectedly gifted her a writing brush as her birthday present. Wang Nianlin’s expression changed the instant he saw Huo Wennu’s birthday present. He believed that he was able to throw everyone off when he took out his present but Huo Wennu had presented her such an amazing gift.

“Don’t worry about it. My father’s items are also my items.” Huo Wennu smiled softly as she patted Ye Qingxue’s shoulder.

“Thank you, Sister Huo.” Although she adored everyone’s presents regardless of their value, she did not truly desire any of them. However, this writing brush was different. It was similar to the number one fan obtaining a signed jersey.

Wang Nianlin walked towards Ye Qingxue despite her show having been stolen away by Huo Wennu. After all, Huo Wennu was ultimately still just a woman.

The bouquet of roses in his hand had a lot of story behind it.

The second-generation rich youngster left the place on his own accord after noticing Wang Nianlin. Although his family was rich, he was nothing more than a pebble in the eyes of the Wang Family.

Bingxin looked at the entrance and shook her head at Ye Qingxue when she did not see anyone there.

Huo Wennu looked at Bingxin in confusion but she did not ask further. The crowd then turned their attention back to Wang Nianlin, as if he was the male lead of the night. Wang Nianlin strode to Ye Qinxue and knelt down before Ye Qingxue. “Qingxue, happy birthday.”

“Thank you.” Ye Qingxue put on a gentle smile as she accepted the bouquet of roses. Although the roses signified another meaning, she had no reason to not accept it since Wang Nianlin had wished her a happy birthday.

It was then Wang Nianlin took out a box from the bouquet of roses. Everyone knew the main show was about to begin when they saw the box. Wang Nianlin had purposely hidden the box among the roses as he was afraid of Ye Qingxue rejecting this very box.

Since Ye Qingxue had accepted the flowers, it was proof that she had accepted the box as well.

Wang Nianlin opened the box gently as a shining diamond ring was presented to the audience. It was only then everyone understood that Wang Nianlin was going down that path. The flower was a decoy and the diamond ring was the actual gift. Ye Qingxue would certainly reject the gift if he were to gift Ye Qingxue the diamond ring directly.

Regardless, the symbol of a diamond ring was obviously implied. If Ye Qingxue were to accept the diamond ring, it meant that she had accepted Wang Nianlin’s pursuit.

“Qingxue, I’ve always loved you. I really hope you can accept my love.” Wang Nianlin placed the ring back into the flower as it showed that Ye Qingxue had to accept this ring.

“Master Wang is truly Master Wang. He’s amazing. He had even gone after a girl in such a way that we’d never thought of at all.”

“Sigh, it looks like our chances are gone since Master Wang has shown his cards.”

“That’s right. Let’s not hope that you’ll succeed in getting a girl away from Master Wang. I think we should help Master Wang instead. We might be able to befriend a person like Master Wang if we do.”

The group of second-generation rich youngsters and youngsters from high-authority families discussed among themselves. Perhaps they still stood a chance if Wang Nianlin did not appear as their families were of equal standing. However, their chances had reduced to null the instant Wang Nianlin appeared.

They were but pebbles in the presence of Wang Nianlin.

“I’m sorry I’m late, Qingxue. Happy birthday.” A voice came from the entrance of the party as everyone shifted their attention to the origin of this voice.

Ye Qingxue was ecstatic. Although Bingxin was rather upset about it, she let out a sigh of relief. Huo Wennu started analyzing the man at the entrance the instant they saw the two girls’ expressions.
