Missing me?

Allure Magic Cruise Ship.

Nighttime, Bar Area.

"Hey handsome, one more drink, please!" Su Yanruo asked in her low delicate voice.

"S-sure…" The bartender replied with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Cute!

Su Yanruo thought. Her hands were itching to pinch and poke his lovely red cheeks but she managed to control herself. Leaning on the chair lazily, she played with the strand of her brown hair. Today, she was wearing a glittering golden body-hugging dress, with long sleeves. It was backless with small golden strings attached on the back in a loose criss-cross manner. In short, the dress was sexy and seductive, perfectly accentuating all of her curves.

Along with the beautiful golden dress, she was also wearing a golden mask on her face as this was the theme of this whole cruise ship. For these two days, you cannot show your face to anybody. You have to keep wearing your mask and make the whole atmosphere - mysterious and mystifying.

"Miss, your drink." The bartender said placing a drink in front of her.

"Thank you," she smiled seductively at him.

The bartender blushed even further.

Su Yanruo chuckled. Taking a sip of her drink, she glanced at her surrounding. The smoke twisted artistically, in the gloom, illuminated only by the speckled bar lights. Along the wall was every hue of amber liquid in their inverted bottles; with hundreds of conversations spoken in loud voices. Rock music was being played as the crowd immersed themselves in enjoying the music and having a great night.

She glanced at the people, at the places absentmindedly searching for her prey. It was his cruise, his party yet the prey that she was looking for was missing. She had no clue about how Ji Chenglang looked like. She only knew a few things about him.

First, he loved wearing white clothes. And second, he loved delicate beauties that always needed a savior. And today, her goal was to find out who this guy was and then pretend to be a damsel in distress in front of him to gain his attention and then kill him.

"What a dull party!" Su Yanruo muttered under her breath as she sipped her drink. Without Xia Ming on this mission with her, she was getting pretty bored. She was missing the constant voice in her ear telling her to stop flirting with cute guys, telling her to do this or that in the mission.

A small chuckle left her rosy pink lips remembering her sad face when she left her home. She remembered her whining like a baby because she didn't want to accompany her father in his work. She wondered how Xia Ming was passing her day with her great boring father.

"Missing me?"

Suddenly a voice came from her left side startling Su Yanruo. Her eyes widened when she recognized the owner of this voice and a small gasp left her lips. "You!! How?" she asked, turning her head to the left side and glancing at Xia Ming.

"Surprise! Surprise!" Xia Ming smiled widely. Finishing her drink in one big gulp, she ordered another one. "Hey cutie, one more drink…"

"Yes, Miss." the bartender replied with another big blush on his face. He quickly prepared another glass mocktail for her.

"Thank you, cutie," she said sipping her drink. For this party, she was wearing a mesh bodice bodycon black sexy dress reaching her thigh. And on her face was a black and gold lace mask made in a beautiful butterfly shape. In short, she was looking amazing.

"How did you get here?" Su Yanruo asked in surprise. She still couldn't believe Xia Ming was standing in front of her.

"By walking," Xia Ming replied in an obvious tone taking another sip of her drink.

SMACK!

Su Yanruo smacked her arm lightly. "Seriously! Stop messing."

Xia Ming laughed.

"I am sure my father won't let you come here. What did you do then?" she asked curiously. Realizing something, her eyes went wide. "Wait! Don't tell me that you escaped?"

"Or else?"

"Are you insane?" Su Yanruo glared at her.

"Nope," Xia Ming shrugged.

"Xia Ming, I am serious." Su Yanruo said in a low voice grabbing her arm. "You do know the consequence of you doing this, right?"

Xia Ming sighed. Placing a drink in Su Yanruo's hand, she said, "Here, drink this and calm down."

"Xia Ming -"

"Look, I know what I will face when we get home but just because of some punishments and my Bastard Uncle; I am not going let you do this mission alone. I am here for you," she explained. "So just chill and enjoy this boring party."

Su Yanruo's eyes welled up with tears. She smiled at her, "Thank you so much and I love you."

"Ewww….. Xiaoruo, I don't swing that way," Xia Ming joked.

SMACK!

"Shut up!" Su Yanruo laughed.

"So, where is our birthday birdie?" Xia Ming asked moving her gaze all around the room. All she could see were people dancing and some doing weird kissy kissy boo boo stuff in the corner but she couldn't see any person in white that could be Ji Chenglang in this whole room.

"I don't know." Su Yanruo shrugged. "Maybe, he will come tomorrow after all today is just his pre-birthday celebration."

"Maybe," Xia Ming nodded agreeing to her words.

Just as they were talking to each other, a young man wearing a maroon colored suit stood in front of Su Yanruo with a wretched smile on his face. Half of his face was covered with a simple silver mask but even without seeing his entire face, anybody could tell he was a big pervert. "Hey beautiful, let's dance," he said in his fake honeyed voice, grabbing Su Yanruo's wrist and pulling her towards the dance floor.

Su Yanruo glanced at the hand that was touching her and her eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc. If it was somewhere else, then she would have chopped off this man's hands for touching her. For some reason, the man felt a tremendous deadliest pressure on himself but soon it was all gone in a moment.

Strange! The man thought to himself.

"I am sorry. I don't want to dance," Su Yanruo rejected politely with a fragile smile on her face.

The man wasn't offended. Glancing at the delicate beauty in front of him, he licked his lips and gave her a perverted smile. "Baby doll, it's just one dance. Come!" he said pulling her hand and trying to drag her towards the dance floor but no matter how hard he tried to pull, Su Yanruo didn't move.
