Chapter 58: Birthday Banquet

  Wait... I suddenly thought of a very serious problem: "What identity should I use to attend his birthday party?"?

  Ming Ye smiled faintly: "You understand very quickly...... Hehe, as for your identity, don't you have a good excuse on your hand?" He said, pointing to the incense-patterned ring on my hand.

  My face turned green... No, no way... You want me to go in with this identity?!

  "He continued, 'The members of the Fragrance Department are all very welcome among the nobles because they not only have elegant manners that easily win girls' hearts but also a large number of them have high and noble status. However... if you don't want to use such an identity, you can also use another one...' He said this as he lightly lifted my chin: 'How about it, do you want to be my partner?'"

  Uh...... I... I'm speechless...?

  Kangetsu Yūko's birthday is this Saturday, which is the day after tomorrow. Because of the Kangetsu family's great influence in society, the elders of the Kangetsu household are particularly concerned about this birthday party. They not only sent invitations to famous people from all over the world, including some royal families (such as Prince Lette of Michero Land), but also included important figures from the underworld, and even opened up the hidden residence of the Kangetsu family as the venue for this birthday party.

  Of course, Min Ye, as the heir of one of the seven major families, also received the invitation. Similarly, Ya Se, Qi He Lan (Silver-haired boy), Artistic Building's Xun Hua Department Head - Kun Yue Xiao, and Xiaoyue Academy's Xiaoyue Feng all received this post.

  I naturally didn't receive it, because the support of the seven major families for our family has always been secretive. If I hadn't entered this college, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know what the seven major families are. Even if they were acting on my father's behalf, they wouldn't have made such a public display. So I should indeed consider which identity to use to enter.

  The Guan Yue family, having activated the seal on their ancestral land, would undoubtedly have strict checks in place for the esteemed guests attending the banquet. If one were to try and sneak in under some dubious pretext, they would most certainly be thrown out. Upon further consideration, it seems that only two identities, as mentioned by Min Ye, would be viable... The first identity: Xun Hua Bu's Niu Lang... As long as you dress like a noble gentleman and show them the ring, you can pass through unimpeded. The second identity is Min Ye's female companion... How infuriating! Can't there be any other options?!

  Why should I be stuck with Minyeo when anyone can go in as a partner? Then I'll just choose someone else. Hmph, even if I had to choose between Yase or the silver-haired kid, I still wouldn't choose Minyeo! Next month's Fung is fine too, that kid looks pretty good to me, how can he be better than this Minyeo guy!!!!

  Thinking of this, another new problem arises. You say that if it's as a female companion, then I must wear a dress, right? And most importantly, when the time comes and I run into acquaintances from the academy who see me in that getup, with my identity as someone's girlfriend, won't my true gender be exposed? Although I did play a princess during performances, it's different when it comes to reality... Ugh, this is complicated. At the birthday party, I'll have to think about how to avoid acquaintances, and also think about how to save mom, while also figuring out how to deal with that guy You Yu. I'm exhausted...

  The day passed in such worries, and the next morning came, I climbed out from the wall again. Min Ye was still elegantly sitting on the wall, smiling at me: "How is it? Have you thought it through? If so, with what identity, I'll take you to make your attire."

  I shot him a glance: "Even if I choose to go as a female companion, I don't have to find you! I can look for Yasser or Xiaoyue next month, or even the silver-haired kid. Anyway, the silver-haired kid will eventually find out my true gender, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

  "Ah, oh dear! If that's the case, then I'm too pitiful. I specially invited the number one fashion designer from Paris, France just for you!"

  This... this damn kid, is he so sure I'll go as his female companion?!
