Zhu Li watched as Jiang Li walked into the wide luxurious hall filled with people dressed in gem-studded and sparkling dresses, gowns, and suits.Music of unparalleled charm and cla.s.s reverberated throughout the place, capturing the ears and calming every wandering mind.
So many scents and perfumes lingered in the air, mixing with each other and creating a web of sometimes pleasant but most of the times heavy fragrances haunting every present guest in the area.
She saw the man she had always been chasing for in the last life sporting an annoyed expression, yet as the most handsome person in the campus, and probably in the whole city, he nevertheless appeared lesser good-looking.
The faint creases in between his regal eyebrows did not diminish his charm and appeal one bit.
To be honest, even that frowning expression light up an unknown fire within her heart.
The woman couldn"t help but hate herself for feeling this way despite what she and her family went through in her last life.
She soundlessly breathed in and out.
From afar, several ladies around their age could be seen gawking and staring at him intently as though he was naked in their predator-like eyes.
It was just so laughable, considering the fact that the person himself knows none of their silly sinful thoughts.

"Jiang Li..."
She batted her eyelashes once, holding her champagne flute nearer to her lips.
She raised her chin a bit before taking a sip of the wine.
Its taste was quite sweet, with lots of juicy acidities to keep it lively and fresh.
However, Zhu Li found it lacking in bitterness or any other stronger taste. She wondered why she was craving for something like that.
"... In the past life, he married the fiancee arranged for him by his parents. A divorce came around for him a few years after, but by then, I remember that my family" company had long been crushed by the Chengs, precisely two years after I graduated..."
The woman mingled with the womenfolk on the right side of the venue, her heart so melancholic despite the smile on her lips and eyes.
"Oh, my dear Li"er, come here."
Her mother, the madam of the Zhus, called her out.
When she saw who was the one standing across her mother, she politely walked over even though deep inside, she badly wanted to rip the person apart and toss his body parts to the sharks in the ocean.
"It"s my pleasure to become your acquaintance, Miss Zhu. I am Cheng Yijun of the Longfeng Group of Companies."
"Cheng Corporation, in other words," she inwardly sneered.
The woman received the madam"s signal and smiled to hide the frost in her eyes, "The pleasure is mine, Mr. Cheng. You are very popular in the whole country."
"You are so polite, Miss Zhu. I wonder if I can invite you to dance?"
Happiness flickered in her glamorous mother"s face, and words of envies and flatteries flew into her ears.
Zhu Li was a known beauty in the upper society and thus it was no wonder that the playboy of the Chengs extended a dance invitation to her.
How many women had fallen for this simple trick of him, she wondered.
"Then, shall we dance?"
A slight smile graced Zhu Li"s lips, yet when she was extending her own to the man, she abruptly and teasingly stopped.
Placing her other hand on her forehead, she said,
"Wait. I-I"m sorry, I suddenly felt dizzy. I don"t think I will be able to match Mr. Cheng if we go to the dance floor now."
Hesitation and regret appeared on the man"s face.
One glance at that expression, and she knew the person must have already imagined something beyond this place together with her.
As he had always been doing with the countless women he bedded then tossed away before.
