(A/N: Sooo.... I was looking over my other messy stories as my internet was being bipolar and I was thinking about continuing one along with this one, but the updates would be slower... I'll post an 'Author's Note' to ask your opinion of which one... or any if I should even do it.)

The place where the party was held at was an extravagant high classed hotel. Many higher ups including the elusive Zhang Yuren attended the event. Kuai Weimin has arrived early already and was conversing with some of the other senior executives and board members of either company.

Even the lower leveled staff members were invited, but they strictly kept their distance from the more infamous board member and senior executives.

As the event was going on, a black luxury car pulled in. Two dashing figures got out of the car and leisurely walked into the hall. Many stopped and stared, unable to tear their eyes away.

Fu Xinyi had arrived not to long ago and had been searching for Xie Ying. Tonight was her chance and if he didn't attend, she wouldn't have another good chance like this again. She had worn her most expensive dress, a scarlet halter mermaid red dress. Her hourglass figure was vulgarly outlined, her hair was curled and put into a bun that was loosely put up. She left a couple wisp of hair that adorned the side of her face, with two shining dangling diamond earrings, a black diamond necklace that looked more like a collar, and her lips were tinted with a reddish coral shade.

She had begun to be impatient as she continued to search for him. Just as she was about to give up, her eyes caught onto his flawless figure.

Xie Ying had his hair slightly parted and pushed back partially. With a faint curve of his lips, it was enough to make her legs swoon. Her hands clenched in expectancy at what was going to happen tonight.

She observed his movements and waited for him to break away from his current group as he was surrounded by the high leveled executives.

Xie Ying had a little bit of trouble with Lin Xiu as someone didn't want to let go of him in the car. Like he was his most prized possession and was afraid of losing it, his arm seemed to be resolute to stay in place and not move an inch over. It took Xie Ying a good ten minutes to appease the unhappy Lin Xiu before he released his hold.

After getting inside, Kuai Weimin and Zhang Yuren spotted him and walked over to greet their 'aunt'. He courteously greeted all who walked up to him, as he made Fu Xinyi wait.

Thirty minutes later, he estimated that her patience had probably waned thinly. He pardoned himself and walked away, but before he left he whispered in Lin Xiu's ear, "I'll see you tonight."

His lips brushed faintly against Lin Xiu's cheek. The man's eyes stared intently at Xie Ying's departing figure. Although he didn't have any sexual innuendos, Lin Xiu had gotten turned on.

Bao Bao caught the slight bulge and quickly turned his head away. Ahhh.... is he experiencing his first rut?!!! Why is he so... so damn concupiscent? Bao Bao decided to make himself scarce until his host needed him. Because he had used his vessel's passive skill, he would have to wait three days until he could physically interact with anything in this world.

Xie Ying made his way to a inconspicuous corner of the venue. Ya Xiao finally saw her chance to chat with her idol and came to chatter with him. They only talked for a brief moment before someone strutted her way over and rudely interrupted their talk.

She had two cups of champagne in her hands, she handed Xie Ying the cup on the right, "Here you go Ying. You must be thirsty after talking so much."

Xie Ying took the cup, and thanked her mockingly which her tiny mind couldn't digest as she was too focused on the cup in his hand. Ya Xiao was upset that she couldn't converse with Xie Ying any longer, she and many of the others utterly despised Fu Xinyi to the core. She had wanted to fire Fu Xinyi a long time ago as she had done the bare minimum amount of work.

But because she hasn't technically slacked off or failed any of her assessments, Ya Xiao couldn't lay a hand on her. Not wanting to be in the same area or breathe the same air that had been contaminated by her, Ya Xiao excused herself.

She gave a dry laugh, "Haha. Ying dage, I just saw someone that I haven't seen in a while, I'll see you around."

Xie Ying nodded, "En."

As she walked past Fu Xinyi, their gazes met and sparks flew between them. Ya Xiao didn't hide her dislike and contempt and Fu Xinyi hadn't hide her smugness or haughtiness. They were like water and fire, unable to withstand each other.

Ya Xiao had been blocking her every advanced in the office. She felt her brain cells die every time she had to talk with Fu Xinyi. Hopefully by now her brain cells could sustain until she was gone.

Fu Xinyi snorted. That's right. F*ck off.

She turned and looked Xie Ying sweetly. Xie Ying had noticed the tension and friction between the two, but he chose not to say anything. After all tonight would be her last night, and she would end herself by her own hands.

They made small talks with each other as they sipped on the champagne in their hands. She stared at him mirthfully, while he eyed her condescendingly.

Half an hour later, Fu Xinyi's face was flushed. Her eyes were watery and her body felt achingly hot. She put a hand to her temple, "Nnn... Ying, I don't feel so well..."

She blinked her eyes, her vision was growing hazy. This wasn't supposed to take effect yet... Did I add too much? She rubbed her temple as she pursued her lip.

Xie Ying tilted his head, acting as if he didn't know what was going on, "Is everything okay?"

Fu Xinyi couldn't quite make out his face but trusted that he had fallen into her trap. She slouched her shoulder and bit onto her lips pitifully, "Ying... My head hurts. Can you help me find a place so that I could rest for a bit?"

Xie Ying agreed, he was only guiding her to her own stupid trap. He turned and waved over a waiter. After asking for the nearest empty room, Xie Ying led her over to it. Before touching her he put on gloves as a countermeasure not to get any of her body fluids on him. Fu Xinyi was too preoccupied to even notice that he didn't want to touch her bare flesh.
