Codename:Phoenix 219 Half Lies

"I haven't answered the madam's question yet, uncle. Why did we leave them all of a sudden?" There was worry in Europa's voice.

"That is okay. Also, it is not good to become friends with them." w.a.n.g Yuvin answered nonchalantly.

"Why is that, uncle? They did not do us any wrong… Also, they seemed nice people." Sadness drained through the mask Europa was wearing.

"Hmmm… Yes, they seemed nice people. But we can never be sure unless we knew them long enough to figure out their true nature." w.a.n.g Yuvin explained calmly.

"But didn't Grandfather say be nice to everyone even if they are not nice to you?" Europa said with a strong inquisitive look in her eyes.

"Yes, he did. Hmm… How about we talk about that after the party? We can't keep our guests waiting, can we?" w.a.n.g Yuvin did his best to steer their conversation away from the earlier event.

"Okay, Uncle! Let's talk about it later. Also, let us invite mama to come with us."

"That's a good girl." w.a.n.g Yuvin said as he held one of Europa's hands and continued to walk towards table 3.

Since the occupants of table 3 were decent professional celebrities who cared only for their careers and sponsors, w.a.n.g Yuvin and Europa did not have any issues except when a female celebrity dressed in a telength red tube gown paired with a columbina mask painted in gold and adorned with red jewels suddenly asked,

"Please pardon me for not minding my own business, but I cannot help but wonder why did a high-end hotel such as Oriental Europa let a newbie star in their commercial?"

"The answer is highly confidential. I am afraid I cannot simply disclose the information to an outsider. Please excuse us." w.a.n.g Yuvin politely answered with firmness. He and Europa then left table 3 to head to the next table.

"An outsider huh? Interesting." The celebrity murmured under her breath as she removed her columbina mask, revealing a face bearing a slight resemblance with Kiang Leilei's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gos.h.!.+ The young master of Oriental Europa is approaching us!" The blonde female celebrity blurted out in excitement when finally, the man she was eyeing ever since the party started was walking straight towards their spot. To her it seemed like w.a.n.g Yuvin was a mysterious prince walking in slow motion.

"Err… But who's the little girl?" One of the female celebrities instantly noticed Europa soon as the uncle and niece duo was near table 3.

"His daughter, maybe?" Murmured the other teen celebrity.

"Aww… So, he is taken already." Said the other.

"Shhh! Quiet! Here they come!"

The chatter of the female celebrities quickly died down as soon as w.a.n.g Yuvin and Europa arrived in their spot. However, they cannot stop themselves from giggling. Especially when they noticed that the young master of Oriental Europa was devilishly handsome up close even with the venetian mask on. Even the celebrity who was eyeing Rentao earlier seemed to be attracted to w.a.n.g Yuvin now.

"Good evening, ladies." With a generous smile on his lips, w.a.n.g Yuvin greeted the occupants of table 4.

"I hope you are enjoying the party!" Europa

"Good evening, Master w.a.n.g!" The female celebrities replied in unison.

"Yes, young miss! We are having a blast!" The blonde replied, giggling like a little girl in front of w.a.n.g Yuvin.

"H-having a blast?" Europa looked at w.a.n.g Yuvin and lightly tugged his hand that was holding hers.

"What does she mean, uncle?" Europa asked, worried evident in her eyes.

"She means that they are having so much fun." w.a.n.g Yuvin replied as he squeezed Europa's little hand with tenderness.

"Oh! I am having a blast too!" Europa's eyes brightened as she looked at the celebrities and imitated the blonde lady's words.

"Then, if that is the case, since they are already enjoying themselves, maybe we should not bother them any longer." w.a.n.g Yuvin said, hinting that he will leave the area soon.

"But it would be more fun if the owners of the hotel will join us!" The blonde lady seemed getting bolder by the second.

"Actually, we would love to join every table to get to know our guests more. But due to some limitations we can only greet them for a short while. Well, you can visit us here whenever you have a free time. I am always around." w.a.n.g Yuvin had to let some half lies slipped out his lips.

"That's great, Master w.a.n.g!" The blonde celebrity seemed very satisfied with w.a.n.g Yuvin's respond.

"Hmmm… Since the Master of the hotel invited us back, will you personally show us around the hotel?" The celebrity who was drawn to Rentao earlier asked.

"Of course, if I my schedule permits though. Anyway, my niece and I need to go. We still have lots of tables to visit." w.a.n.g Yuvin said. Then he quickly turned his back on them, not wanting to entertain anymore questions from the female celebrities who seemed wanted to openly flirt with him.

Soon when they were near the next table, w.a.n.g Yuvin let out a loud sigh of relief. Thank heavens! They were able to escape the lair (table 3) of daring female celebrities. Though he was not doing anything wrong, other people might misinterpret his actions. He then roamed his eyes around the vastness of the banquet hall, hoping to finally see a glimpse of Kiang Leilei. Unfortunately, none of the guests matched the person he was longing to see.

'Maybe she did not attend because she still thinks I am a bad guy.' w.a.n.g Yuvin thought to himself as a profound sadness and disappointment flashed fast in his eyes. But he was quick to dismiss his gloomy thoughts and went to face the remaining guests with a handsome smile. Unknowing that ever since Europa and him strode away from the group of the female celebrities, a pair of eyes burning with anger was locked unto him.
