590: Chapter 579 590: Chapter 579 After hanging up the phone, Song Yun felt inexplicably nervous because, as he said, he didn’t know whether Ran Qiu would end up following him, or if Ran Qiu had already contacted people above him.
Song Yun had thought about using force to coerce Ran Qiu into luring out the person above him, but that would be a senseless waste of talent, which Song Yun disliked.
After dealing with the matters at hand, Song Yun was busy at the Shura Alliance for the entire day until Mao Shan called him in the evening to attend a banquet and he was able to leave.
When he got home, he found that the usually bustling living room was eerily silent today.
“Where are they?” Song Yun asked Li Shishi, who was sitting on the sofa looking at a document.
“They went shopping tonight.
I didn’t go because I had matters to deal with,” said Li Shishi with a smile.
“Well then, Shishi, are you free tonight?
Accompany me to a banquet hosted by Mao Shan’s grandfather,” said Song Yun.
“Sure,” Li Shishi nodded.
Song Yun bounded upstairs, took a quick shower, then picked out a set of clothes that didn’t look too much like something from a street stall.
After changing, he headed back downstairs.
“I think you need to get some tailor-made clothes,” Li Shishi said to Song Yun, seriously.
“I…
don’t know much about that,” Song Yun said, a bit embarrassed.
“I’ll take you to get it done tomorrow,” Li Shishi said.
“I’m going to change, too.”
Li Shishi was quick to change since she didn’t need to put on makeup.
When Li Shishi came back down, Song Yun’s heart stopped in that instant.
Li Shishi wore a light blue evening gown, the soft color complementing her fair skin, making her appear exceptionally gentle.
Invisibly amplified by her temperament, the gown had a bustier top embracing her not-so-small yet not large chest, making it look especially round.
It also fit her so well that only a little bit of cleavage was visible.
Li Shishi wore no jewelry around her neck because any adornment on a person as untainted by the mortal world and fairy-like as her would be like framing a beautiful landscape painting with a gilded frame—it would either steal the shine from the jewelry or degrade her aura by several levels.
The necklace on Li Shishi’s neck, a gift from Song Yun at an auction, made her even more dignified and elegant.
Her dress was floor-length, extending to the ankles and covering her nearly perfect legs, only hinting at them through the fabric, and she wore simple high-heeled shoes.
Li Shishi wasn’t the type to flaunt her figure.
Among the women at the villa, she was probably the most reserved.
Thus, the most skin revealed by her dress was the delicate collarbone and shoulders above the bustier, and Song Yun thought her collarbone was the most beautiful amongst all women he had seen.
He had never paid such close attention before, but today, gazing at her slender and sensual collarbone, Song Yun felt an urge to kneel before her in her pomegranate dress.
“Is it okay?” Li Shishi asked with a smile.
“Very nice, very nice!
Shishi, this outfit has completely enchanted me.
You must take responsibility for this!” Song Yun said earnestly.
“How should I take responsibility?” Li Shishi’s smile grew broader.
“Well, for example, we could find a secluded place to talk in detail about the material of your dress, or you could come to my room tonight to discuss life aspirations, future plans, and maybe even what we would name our kids,” Song Yun said bashfully.
“Get out of here,” Li Shishi said and, ignoring Song Yun, turned and walked towards the door.
“Hey, at least comfort me a little?
Otherwise, otherwise, say a few sweet words to cheer me up.
Ah, Shishi, really, don’t walk so fast.”
Song Yun couldn’t drive an ordinary car to the banquet tonight; although it didn’t matter to him, Li Shishi was in an evening gown.
Driving his hundred-thousand worth car might be seen as a waste of luxury.
So Song Yun directly took out the Audi A6 that Song Qingyan had specially requested for him.
The venue for Xu Hongxing’s evening banquet wasn’t in the city center of Sunan, but on a luxurious cruise ship.
Sunan had always been a famous port city, and to this day, many docks are still in use.
At that moment, on Dock No.
3, there was a very luxuriously decorated cruise ship, festooned with lights and faint music.
Outside the cruise ship, there were dozens of top-tier luxury cars.
You could see both familiar and unfamiliar luxury car brands.
At the entrance to the cruise ship, where the staircase began, a red carpet stretched out.
On occasion, some barrel-chested individuals passed by the carpet, and occasionally, a few armed individuals could be observed on the ship.
In this place, Song Yun’s Audi A6 didn’t stand out much.
Of course, there were many other Audi A6s here but the impressive number 15 plaque from Song Yun’s usual high-status identification felt unremarkable here.
The area was littered with privileged license plates, including WJ (military) plates.
The number of military and official plates was beyond count, and there were several number 15 and below provincial plates, including some from the system.
Song Yun even saw a number 3 plate, which belonged to a Feudal Governor.
Following the attendant’s direction, Song Yun parked the car and then walked down with Li Shishi onto the red carpet.
This was Song Yun’s first time walking on a red carpet.
He had seen many important figures and celebrities walk on red carpets on TV, but walking on one himself felt no different than walking on a regular floor.
At the boarding gate, Song Yun showed the invitation Xu Hongxing had given him.
Two middle-aged men, who didn’t quite look like soldiers but had thick fingers and bulging temples, suggesting they were trained fighters, stood guard.
After a brief check of the invitation, Song Yun was allowed to board.
Ascending the long staircase, Song Yun set foot on the deck of the luxurious cruise ship.
At that moment, there were already around a hundred people on the deck.
At one end, a small symphony orchestra was playing, while guests either held champagne flutes and chatted or stood aside, enjoying the seascape—it was a scene of harmony and jubilation.
Song Yun’s arrival didn’t cause much of a stir.
Everyone carried on with their affairs, and no one took much notice of Song Yun.
However, Li Shishi at his side instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the deck.
