The next day was the banquet hosted by the Ye family.

Many prominent figures were in attendance.

I had already put on makeup early and was taken to the Ye residence by Ye Jingyan.

Adhering to the professional attitude of not causing trouble for the main sponsor, Mr. Jin, I dared not say a word more after the last sentence.

I just held a glass in the corner, sipping on soda.

"You're the one Jingyan ge keeps outside, right?"

A soft and sweet voice sounded above my head. I looked up at the woman in front of me and didn't reply.

The woman wasn't angry, just looking down at me.

"Quite pretty, Jingyan ge has always had a good eye for picking flowers."

"Your necklace is the latest from House L, did Jingyan ge buy it for you?"

I smiled generously, "Yes, it's very beautiful. Jingyan cares a lot about me."

At her words, she smiled somewhat disdainfully.

"Designed by my sister, naturally beautiful."

"However, you won't be happy for long because my sister is about to return to the country. Everyone in this circle knows that Jingyan ge has never forgotten my sister all these years. When she comes back, they will get married."

"As for you."

"I advise you to set your position straight early on, don't have any unwarranted fantasies. Jingyan ge is just playing with you."

Instead of being warned by her, I smiled, "Since your sister and Ye Jingyan are so deeply in love, why is Ye Jingyan still looking for me?"

"You don't understand!" She sneered, "My sister is busy with work and can't stay by Jingyan ge's side for long. Men, they all love to play. My sister tolerates Jingyan ge!"

I rolled my eyes and nodded perfunctorily, "Mm-hmm, sure, sure."

She stormed off in a huff.

Before leaving, she gave me a business card.

Qiao Ru, the sister of renowned jewelry designer Qiao Yun.

On the way back, I jokingly asked Ye Jingyan, "Ye Jingyan, you shouldn't lack women around you, so why did you agree to my deal?"

Back then, my anorexia was so severe that I couldn't eat for days. For the sake of my life, I approached Ye Jingyan and proposed that as long as he could cook for me, I would do anything for him.

Without a second thought, Ye Jingyan made me his secret mistress.

But I was curious, how could someone so rich, powerful, and good-looking be lacking women?

Ye Jingyan just glanced at me indifferently, "Because you're pretty, okay?"

... Well, I couldn't argue with that.

I smiled pleasingly, "I'm still hungry, how about some braised pork belly for supper?"

"You look like braised pork belly." Despite saying that, he still went straight to the kitchen as soon as he got home.
