Chen Xintong's match with Gu Ruoyun at the ball ended in Chen Xintong's complete defeat. Therefore, Chen Xintong felt too embarrassed to continue staying at the ball, so she could only use the excuse that her body wasn't feeling well and leave.
The party ended with a melodious piano piece.
With regards to Gu Ruoyun's brilliant performance at the royal ball, Li Dong expressed his satisfaction. After all, how much face would it take to get a celebrity to dance at a party organized by him?
The party tonight had really made him proud.
It was already late in the night. Gu Ruoyun was wearing a long dress as she left the reception area, and the manager drove her home.
Probably because it wasn't just to entertain the several chairmen at the party, but also to deal with that ambitious Chen Xintong, Gu Ruoyun felt exhausted, so she asked the manager to send her home.

It was the middle of the afternoon in Country H. The sun was warm and beautiful.
After a while, he arrived at the capital airport in China.
Just as she got off the plane and entered the house, An Ning saw a foreign man in a black suit walking towards her.
Jiang Jian shielded himself from An Ning and Tian Tian without leaving a trace, but An Ning still noticed his subconscious movement and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
A few men in black suits walked straight up to the trio and stopped in front of them. The man leading them saw An Ning and quickly confirmed her suspicions.
An Ning was somewhat puzzled, and looked at Jiang Jia Han with a puzzled expression. Could it be that Jiang Han had sent someone to pick up the plane?
However, An Ning saw the cold expression on Jiang Jia's face. She didn't seem to know these people, but she seemed to know where they came from, so she wasn't worried.
Tian Tian was obediently led by her parents. Her chubby little face was expressionless and somewhat aloof.
The man in the black suit stood before the three of them before bowing respectfully towards An Ning. With a different accent from the English spoken in Country F, he said, "You are Miss An, the daughter of the chairman, right?"
Although his accent was different from that of Country H, it was essentially English. Therefore, An Ning could understand it perfectly. Of course, this was not a problem for Jiang Jia and Tian Tian.
When An Ning heard this person's words, she was reminded of her mother. It was also because of An Ning's invitation that she had come to Country H. These people were probably the people that Mother An had sent to pick them up.
Towards the arrival of these people, An Ning's heart felt a hint of warmth. These few years, she had wanted to hide herself, and had only seen her mother a few times. She didn't expect that her mother would still treat her so well.
Seeing An Ning's actions, the man in black continued, "Hello, Miss An. I'm the Chairman's assistant. The Chairman sent me to pick you up. She has already arranged a place for you to stay."
An Ning did not expect An Xin to be so thoughtful. She was slightly surprised, but upon hearing the address, she did not immediately agree to leave with the rest. Instead, she asked, "Where is the residence that we arranged?"
The black clothed person probably did not expect An Ning to suddenly ask this question. Fortunately, he was an assistant who was with Mother An, so he quickly replied, "The chairman has some matters to take care of during this period of time, so he gave you guys an independent villa. The confidentiality is very strong, so you can rest assured, Miss An."
Hearing the black clothed man's words, An Ning felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Her mother had actually arranged for them to live in an independent villa so that they could live a free life.
"Alright." An Ning nodded at the man in black, then looked towards Jiang Jia and Tian Tian, seeing that they didn't say anything, her heart was at ease.
And so, An Ning and Jiang Xianhan took Tian Tian to the black-clothed man's car and left the airport.
The architecture of H Nation was very unique. Most of the buildings here were old. Even some of the new buildings had a retro style, giving off a feeling of time.
This was something that An Ning was very fond of.
As the car drove through this special city, An Ning silently admired it. Jiang Jia and Tian Tian had a tacit understanding not to disturb her, leaving her to think alone.
Soon, the car arrived at the destination.
It was a very beautiful castle, filled with a sense of time, surrounded by towering trees. An Ning fell in love with it almost instantly.
Just as they got out of the car, a middle-aged woman in a maid outfit came forward and respectfully welcomed the three of them. The assistant then arranged for people to carry the luggage for them.
An Ning and Jiang Jia Han led Tian Tian into the castle.
The decorations of the castle were unique, magnificent and elegant. One could tell from the details that the owner of this castle loved this castle.
The middle-aged woman led the three to the main hall and sat down. A fifty-something year old foreigner wearing a suit walked up to the three of them, respectfully bowed to An Ning, and greeted her in English, "Greetings, Miss An. I'm the butler of this castle. You can call me Jeffrey."
An Ning nodded slightly and replied in English, "Hello, Jeffrey."
After that, he introduced the two people beside him to the butler, Jeffrey, "This is my son, Tian Tian, that is Tian's father, Mister Jiang."
Housekeeper Jeffrey was a little surprised, he respectfully greeted Tian Tian and Jiang Xiushan, "Hello, young master Jiang."
Jeffrey, seeing how good-looking Tian Tian was, couldn't help but like this little guy a lot. Looking at Jiang Xuan, Jeffrey felt an inexplicable pressure from his body. It seemed that this Mister Jiang was not simple.
After they had met, Jeffrey continued, "Miss An will stay here for the time being. Someone will take you back to your room later."
Towards Jeffrey's arrangement, An Ning politely smiled and said, "Thank you."
"This is what I should do. I wonder, Miss An, what would young master and Mister Jiang like for dinner? " Jeffrey asked softly.
"Anything is fine." An Ning said. The three of them weren't picky with food, let alone the fact that they were only guests.
Hearing An Ning's words, Jeffrey's expression did not change at all and she continued, "Then I'll take the initiative to prepare some of the country's special cuisine for the three of you. Also, the chairman will be coming over later to have dinner with the three of you."
Jeffrey finished his sentence in one breath, then bowed politely and excused himself.
An Ning did not expect An Niu's mother to be here tonight. For a moment, she felt a little uneasy.
After a while, two maids came in and brought the three back to the bedroom that they had arranged beforehand.
The bedroom was very big, and it even had a balcony. From the balcony, one could see the entire castle's backyard, which was filled with flowers. It seemed to have been well tended.
