One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love
chapter-186

“Daddy…” Yichen suddenly rubbed his chest, his brows forming a deep crease. “My chest is a little stuffy.”

“What’s wrong?” There was a slight distress on Mu Yazhe’s face. “Why is your chest stuffy again?”

Yichen shook his head in confusion. Acting coy, he pouted and answered, “I don’t know. It’s just stuffy. Really stuffy and aching. It’s awful.”

He caressed his son’s small head. At that moment, there was another commotion at the entrance.

“Oh, god! How beautiful…”

A passionate crowd of media reporters subsequently congested the other end of the red carpet.

Yun Shishi, wearing an elegant and attractive smile, had her arm linked with Gu Xingze’s as they gracefully entered.

The moment they appeared in the spotlight, countless eyes, filled with surprise, jealousy, disdain, and doubt, cast on them from near and far.

People specifically laid their eyes on her eye-catching and glamorous gown and that dazzling ruby necklace on her collarbone.

Yun Shishi, in a luxurious red gown, was as beautiful as a stalk of fresh, tender rose. She was in possession of a delicate and lively face.

When she stood together with Gu Xingze, they were admittedly extremely compatible.

The man was all along a darling of the fashion industry; he had a tall frame and an attractive face. It did not matter which female star stood beside him; they always paled in comparison and had attention taken away from them.

However, Yun Shishi was different from the others, in that when she stood next to him, not only was she not overshadowed by his presence, she was even more outstanding, and media reporters whispered to one another in their excitement.

“I – I… I… I recognize her! Isn’t she the one who came with Gu Xingze?”

“Yes, yes! She’s Yun Shishi! I got a hold of her name a while ago. I heard that she’s a really talented rookie and that her acting is superb!”

“I heard that she’s the chosen female lead of Director Lin! You guys know about his eye for things. Tsk, tsk. He’s extremely stringent!”

“Since she managed to get Director Lin’s approval, she should not be underestimated!”

Astonishment and praise came crashing toward them like raging waves.

Yun Shishi felt a little overwhelmed, but her face maintained its charming smile. She coordinated with the media reporters’ requests to stop and stay and to link hands with Gu Xingze as they received a shower of flashes.

Mu Wanrou immediately caught sight of that vibrant red hue on her collarbone. Her eyes widened in shock. She clenched her fists tightly in disbelief and then gradually shifted her doubtful gaze onto Mu Yazhe.

She would not mistake that ruby necklace; that was his personal keepsake, and it was the only precious thing his mother had left behind for him.

When she saw that necklace in the past, it was kept securely in a dainty and delicate crystal case which he carried around with him, never once leaving his side.

She was not allowed to touch it.

Let alone others.

That necklace was priceless; its value could hardly be gauged.

And yet he had actually casually… given it to Yun Shishi?

Fake! That necklace was definitely fake – a good quality counterfeit! Otherwise… How was it possible?

Her complexion gradually lost its color. If the situation permitted it, she wanted to rush to her in large strides and shatter her bones into ashes!

The gala had yet to commence, but the atmosphere had reached its zenith because of Gu Xingze and Yun Shishi.

Glances were exchanged in the luxurious hall.

Yun Shishi did not even notice the hatred radiating from Mu Wanrou’s eyes.

With her in the limelight tonight, those crazy camera flashes constantly shone on her, and it was uncertain how many rolls of films were being used up to capture her beauty.
