OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 157 - XIAO JUN'S CHARM THAT MELTS WOMEN'S HEARTS
Hall decoration that is no less luxurious with out door decoration in the courtyard immediately made Grace's eyes stunned. He did not expect the preparation to welcome himself perfectly, even a woman as cute as himself was being treated so. Like living in a fairy tale, all the glamour is elegant
emanated from this moment. Xiao Jun was still embracing his hand towards the seat that had been provided.
“Welcome to our residence, enjoy your time miss.” Xiao Jun smiled and removed his hand from Grace's arm. He had delivered Li San's favorite lady in front of the seats that had been provided. In accordance with the level of standing, every seat in the hall had been named. Xiao Jun nodded slowly as a sign moved from before Grace, leaving the woman still locked her lips so amazed.
Kao Jing took up a position next to Grace, leaving an empty seat that Chen Kho had allotted. At the sight of that empty chair, Kao Jing realized her son had yet to complete this happy atmosphere.
“Thank you sister, you've been bothered to prepare this festive party for my son. This is the most spectacular reception we've ever seen. Ah, unfortunately my son does not seem to be present.” Kao Jing deliberately called Chen Kho to remind the host that there were still incomplete personnel before the party started.
Li San spread his gaze around the room and only realized his male nephew had not been seen. “Sorry Da Ge, I just realized Chen Kho is not here yet. Guards, find young master Chen Kho and send him here.”
Not even the bodyguard who was sent up from a standing position, Chen Kho showed his nose. “Chen Kho salutes uncle, father, sorry for my delay.” Chen Kho bowed respectfully alternately to Li San and Kao Jing.
Li San chuckled, “Alright, everything is complete here. Let's start the party.” Li San clapped his hands twice as a code for the entire show's fillers to prepare themselves. Chen Kho immediately occupied the seat between his father and younger brother.
“Hi, brother. You're getting handsome.” Grace immediately teased her brother and embraced him familiarly.
The whole room saw Grace's attitude that was considered too excessive and not in accordance with their cultural manners. Li San even scrunched his forehead, he did realize Grace was raised in an outside country but did not expect to adapt her culture.
Five female dancers in half-open Hanfu costumes greeted the entire hall before starting the action. Traditional music chants accompany the dance, the most prominent of the show is the agility of the prima donna in the middle position. His nimble, supple gestures and flirtatious gaze glanced at all the spectators until he focused on one person and continued to stare at him. Grace paid attention to the dancer, how seductive the woman was through body gestures. Grace's heart starts to heat up by
displeasure as the dancer tried to attract Xiao Jun's attention with a mischievous glance and a coquettish smile. Grace willingly does not blink watching the movements of the dancer, he is uncomfortable and reluctant to let other women try to seduce his prospective man.
“Jealous?” Tempted Chen Kho through a whisper. Grace's tense and hate-spreading expression was very obvious symbolizing her heart that was hot by the flames of jealousy. Looking at her sister's attitude, Chen Kho could realize that soon Grace's heart was melted by Xiao Jun's charm and it would be a bad thing if her sister's love clapped next door
hand. Just seeing a woman trying to get Xiao Jun's attention, Grace was already hot-hearted. Moreover, he knew the fact that Xiao Jun already had a lover and was forced to marry her, Chen Kho was sure his sister must be heartbroken.
Grace denied Chen Kho's allegations, in fact, she would not be willing to openly admit. “I'm just amazed her dance is good. Jealous what, brother can aja.”
Chen Kho chuckled, “Have not lied, you are not good at covering up feelings. But good, at least you're not disappointed, are you? He's not as bad as imagined, better see the guy directly than to have your brother steal his picture.”
and the dancers are retreating from before them. Now that there were no more obstacles in front, Grace looked at Xiao Jun unblinkingly even the gaze was realized by Xiao Jun. Grace reflex smiled a sweet smile but unfortunately Xiao Jun did not respond as sweetly. He only glanced at Grace with a cold gaze and then turned his attention by chatting with Liang Jia. At that instant Grace was somewhat disappointed but still trying to think positively, perhaps Xiao Jun was unaware of her smile.
The young servants entered serving dishes on their own tables. They sit facing each other but are separated by a large enough distance and blocked by the table. The banquet was deliberately held in the hall so that they can enjoy food and entertainment.
Li San looked at Grace, the girl was quite beautiful and charming. The tall slender body posture was in accordance with Xiao Jun who was indeed tall and sturdy. “Grace, from today stay with your cousin. Uncle hope you feel at home here and quickly familiar with Xiao Jun.”
Grace blushed at her uncle's expectations, however much she wished to get to know the man named Xiao Jun more closely. “Good Uncle, I'll try. Thank you.” replied Grace girang. Unfortunately, the modern call he calls Li San actually makes almost the entire room frown. Kao Jing shot a sharp glance at her daughter as the gesture Grace had just uttered was not in place, but Grace felt that what she said was common and did not feel guilty saying it.
Li San was silent for a moment, if not Grace who called him that way maybe his emotions had already played out. He tried to be more calm and understanding, at least for today. “Good. Then Xiao Jun and Grace no one would mind this matchmaking right?” the question was obviously a pleasantries matter, if allowed to be honest of course Xiao Jun would loudly call for rejection.
Liang Jia glanced at Xiao Jun, half anxious and hoping that Xiao Jun would still be able to play the advanced scenario.
“I don't mind, dad.” Said Xiao Jun steadily.
Xio Jun's loud reply flew half of Grace's heart, as if flowers were strewn around her. He seemed to float by that statement, “I am willing.” Said Grace no less steady.
Li San laughed happily, that answer was what he was looking forward to. “Good business don't delay long, I've seen good days. Your engagement will be held next week, do you have any objections?”
Silent for a moment, Li San, Liang Jia, Chen Kho, Grace as well as Yue Xin and Yue Xiao stared at Xiao Jun. Like the defendant who awaits the final decision of the judge who is still silent. Although this was only a question of setting, yet Li San remained tense and half regretted giving such a question, as if he still was
having the heart of letting Xiao Jun choose.
“As per father's will, please implemented.” Xiao Jun replied briefly.
Grace's smile instantly burst open, the man accepted it. In Grace's shadow, he would live a great love with Xiao Jun. That good decision made her feel like the luckiest woman in the world. “I'm willing.”
