Chapter 1: Peach Blossom

In May, the rainy season arrives and the climate in Hong Kong is unpredictable.

Bian Yue sat in front of the dressing mirror and threw her cell phone on the table.

The phone screen was still on, and the text message displayed on it was from the popular female star Shi Anan.

Shi Anan's words were sharp and direct, full of gunpowder - "Miss Bian, go to the Picnic Bay Ferry Terminal, I want to talk to you face to face about Si Heng."

Li Siheng has been involved in many scandals over the past year, but this is the first time that Bian Yue has seen someone being such a blatant mistress.

It seems that her fiancé Li Siheng really dotes on her.

Picnic Bay is very close to the Tin Hau Temple, and Bian Yue thought that they could just meet and also pay their respects to Mazu, so she replied with a brief "OK" before putting down her phone.

At this moment, Bian Yue looked up at herself in the mirror. She had a skin as white as mutton-fat jade, almond eyes and red lips. She looked delicate and noble, with the beauty that could only be achieved by being slowly nurtured by silk and satin.

But it’s a pity that no matter how beautiful something is, you will get tired of it after looking at it for a long time.

Bian Yue stood up without any reluctance and walked down the winding retro staircase, but her eyes inadvertently looked towards the corner of the second floor.

Deep in the corridor on the second floor, a picture frame with intricately carved marble reliefs is inlaid on a dark-patterned velvet wall.

In the photo frame is the Li family portrait, and Bian Yue is the only outsider.

16-year-old Bian Yue lost both her parents. On the day she was adopted by the Li family, everyone took Bian Yue to the Li family ancestral hall to take this photo.

In the photo, the girl has sad little white flowers in her hair, looking timid and pitiful.

Next to her stood 18-year-old Li Siheng. The young man could wear a white shirt with great style. He was very sharp, elegant, handsome and full of vigor. His face was favored by God and was the dream lover of countless girls in Hong Kong.

The two of them were surrounded by a group of elders from the Li family.

At this point, the daughter of the Bian family became the princess of the Li family, and from then on, the years when Li Siheng loved her the most began.

Of course, publicity.

She has the capital to show off.

The housekeeper was downstairs. When he saw Bian Yue appear, he said politely, "Miss, are you going out? The young master will be back for lunch today. Would you like to wait for him?"

Bian Yue pushed her beautifully permed hair back and said with a smile: "Tell Li Siheng that I'm going out to clear the peach blossoms for him. Please ask him to have two more bowls of rice and eat and drink well."

The housekeeper held his breath and gathered his energy like a robot, and fetched an umbrella from the side, "It might rain outside."

Bian Yue thanked him, took it and walked out.

In the taxi, Bian Yue looked at Shi Anan's photo.

Bian Yue is considered to be acquainted with Shi Anan.

Bian Yue is the most famous investor and producer in the circle. Bian Yue's best friend Wen Jiao is a fan of Shi Anan. Miss Wen does things based on her happiness. Seeing that Shi Anan has a good temperament, she transferred money from Bian Yue's company account and invested in Shi Anan's play.

The name used was Wen Jiao, and the one who made a profit was Bian Yue.

In Wen Jiao's words: "Bian Yue, I want to support Shi An'an because I always feel that she looks like you."

Bian Yue planned to meet Shi Anan first and then tell Wen Jiao whether she looked like him or not.

"Miss, here we are."

The taxi stopped at the intersection of Picnic Bay. Bian Yue paid, got out and looked around.

The Picnic Bay, where a large number of ships were anchored, was calm. Bian Yue walked towards the most luxurious ship with more than ten floors in the center of the harbor as agreed.

The sun was high in the sky, shining on the glass of the cabin facing south to the sea.

When Bian Yue got out of the taxi, the sun was shining brightly, casting a shadow of the man against the glass. Through the glass, the silhouette of the man had perfect side profile lines, a tall figure, and a cold and noble temperament.

He had his head slightly lowered, as if looking around, but his shadow had the indifference peculiar to those in high positions, which was ingrained in their bones.

It's just too far away, it seems unreal.

Inside the private room, the man's friend spoke up, jokingly: "The old guys in the Shen family are usually more reserved than the others, but today they are all so anxious that they are looking for you like crazy. This is your welcoming banquet after returning home, and they dare not even move their chopsticks when you are not there."

The man didn't say anything until the slender figure disappeared from his sight, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to sit down.

There was no light in the room, and the man's eyes were drooping. He looked indifferent and distant. He spoke in a hoarse, absent-minded voice, "Hmm."

The friend spoke again, with more emphasis, "By the way, you have to come to the welcoming party I'm hosting for you!"

The man didn't say anything, as if he was in deep thought. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. The hand holding the cup was as white as jade, slender and beautiful, like a work of art.

In the same top cabin, the sound of violin is melodious, the sun shines in, and it is quiet and warm.

Bian Yue walked in and sat down by the window that Shi Anan had reserved in advance.

The best position in this cabin is not by the window, but the box facing the window.

There is only one private cabin on the ship. When you open the door, you will see the Jiangnan garden landscape and artificial hot spring.

The dining table is placed next to the water lilies, so you can enjoy the flowers while eating. If you turn off the lights, it will be a different kind of fun.

When Bian Yue was still a student, she often sat inside with Wen Jiao to study.

Wen Jiao's eyes would become sore whenever she read, so if she saw any young men who had just debuted in magazines and liked them, she would call them over and ask them to sing and dance with her.

Wen Jiao wanted those who wanted to sing to dance, and those who wanted to dance to do juggling. The male celebrities who had thousands of female fans all responded with smiles, for fear of offending them.

After a long time, Bian Yue felt bored and stopped participating.

In Hong Kong, there are so many rich people that you can trample several of them to death with one foot, and you can't book a private room just by having money.

Shi Anan’s identity is beyond his reach.

Moreover, today, the magnolia flower marked as idle on the door of the box is gone, so there must be an important person inside.

Bian Yue withdrew her gaze and looked at the sea outside the window.

The warm sunlight fell on her face, outlining extremely seductive light and shadow. Her temperament was delicate, and she was truly a living little princess.

The waitress not far away usually saw dignitaries. She only took a look at Bian Yue from a distance and her eyes lit up. She hurried over with a heavy menu inlaid with silk and gold thread.

The waitress bent down and asked enthusiastically, "What would you like to order, young lady?"

Bian Yue lowered her head, her black curly hair slightly scattered on her chest. She raised her water lily-like fingers slightly, opened the menu and ordered a few dishes at random, her voice soft: "These ones, no. Bring one portion of the others, and put them on the account of the pretty girl who will be here soon."

The waitress had seen a lot of storms and was only slightly stunned for a moment before she said, "Okay, wait a moment!"

After the waitress left, Bian Yue waited lazily, and soon saw a woman with an elegant temperament walking towards her with brisk steps.

"Excuse me, Miss Bian, I'm late!"

It was when An An became a big star.

Bian Yue looked at him without any expression - wearing too many luxury goods, too much is as bad as too little, he is a nouveau riche reborn.

Shi Anan sat down and also secretly observed Bian Yue - a silly girl with no taste and some pretty looks.
