Chapter 56 - President Du's Birthday Party (9)

The nearer she was to the garden, the louder was the music. When she finally arrived at the wooden door leading to the garden, the attendants pulled the door open for her and when she stepped out, she noticed that it was livelier than before.

The live band was playing the songs from one of her favorite bands, Lady Antebellum.

She leaned against one of the white column and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the song. The cool breeze coupled with the music relaxed her as she went through Ghost's plan in her head.

When the song ended and the singer announced that they would be taking 15 minutes break, Kai Xin opened her eyes and saw a lot of people were staring at her and whispering among themselves.

Everyone was strung up by the earlier performance and when they saw the stranger who managed to beat Song Qiao, they were unable to stop themselves from staring and debating about his identity.

From the corner of her eyes, Kai Xin noticed Rin and Naomi were standing near her, and Rin had her phone pointed at her while Naomi was trying to stop her. Those two were oblivious to the fact that Kai Xin had noticed them as they bickered with each other.

Kai Xin strode over to them. She smiled at the frame and joked, "You have to pay for a photo, missy."

She was only joking but Rin took her seriously. She continued to take photos as she said, "Name your amount."

"I'm sorry about this, Young Master K. I've spoil her too much." Naomi apologized and grabbed the phone away from Rin before continuing, "Rin likes to collect photos of cute guys."

"Just call me K, but...", Kai Xin drawled on her words, grinned and leaned back against the wall and with her arms folded, she teased the older Nakamura, "I'm cute?"

Her words turned Naomi into a red mess as the latter stuttered, "i-i don't mean it that way. Wait! No! You are cute! No! I mean!"

Naomi groaned and buried her face into her palms as she tried to hide herself from everyone. It was embarrassing! She rarely gets flustered but Kai Xin made her nervous!

Kai Xin laughed gently and pulled Naomi's hands away. Looking at the woman in front of her, Kai Xin continued to tease her, "You would make someone a great wife someday."

Naomi was unable to meet Kai Xin in the eyes and she averted her glance as she mumbled, "I-i'm sorry…"

"I was just teasing you." Kai Xin grinned.

Naomi was about to say something but Rin interrupted before her sister can embarrassed herself again, "When are you giving my sister her dance?"

Kai Xin shook her head at the impatient girl. "Shortly."

Old Mo went to the stage and he clapped his hands thrice into the microphone. Everyone stopped their conversation and turned to him.

"Excuse me, everyone! It is getting late now and I'm sure everyone has been waiting for this."

As he was talking, the maids and attendants came out in two lines and took the chairs and standing tables away as they cleared the area for the next agenda.

Once they were done, Old Mo continued, "I'm sure you were all waiting for the last event of the night. So, without further ado, to the ladies who came today, please gather around."

All the ladies went to the front. Of course, this included Naomi and Rin who knew what was going on. Kai Xin was a little confused as she watched the ladies of various ages moved up front.

Old Mo smiled as he continued, "As you might know, every year, our Old Madam Du would put out a special gift. Well, this year, our dear Old Madam Du here decided to put out our very own President Du as THE gift."

The audiences laughed at the fact that Old Madam Du would 'pimp' her son out. DX had protested over this but his mother had decided on this and she would not budge at all.

Old Mo continued, "So, for one lucky lady tonight, you would be able to dance the first dance with President Du!"

A young man shouted, "It's OK ladies! Even if you can't get President Du, you still have us!"

The crowd laughed at his antics and some even cheered for him. Even Old Madam Du laughed gently at the bunch of people standing under the stage. They were all children of people with high status. While some of them were from the nouveau riche, most of them came from really prestigious background.

Old Mo went on once the laughter died down, "So, my dearest young ladies...If you want to get a chance to dance with our President Du, you have to do your best!"

"Wait!"
