In the elite circle of socialites, a Charity gala event was scheduled in the evening and all the important personalities – business owners and some A-list celebrities were invited to attend. It was to be held at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Xue Jinxu prepared for the event beforehand. She asked Butler Lee to arrange for an evening gown for her. She excused herself that afternoon from work because she wanted to glam up for this event. She, as a beautiful lady, and still as the Big Miss of their family, likes to pamper herself up and dress up in parties.

She arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel around eight in the evening. The night was young and vibrant. One by one the socialites entered. She was wearing a black shimmering tube gown down to her feet with a slit on the side up to half of her right thigh. She exudes alluring energy that made all the guests turn their heads. She adorned her pale neck with a round necklace embedded with diamonds. Her jet-black hair was left down on her back. She stood up to her name as a goddess.

Instantly she was that talk of the crowd.

"Miss Xue of the Xue Shipping is stunning tonight as always!"

"Her dress suits her body well. No, she looks good at anything she wears!"

"Isn't that the COO of Xue Shipping? She's gorgeous tonight. She's rocking it."

"Oh my heart! My heart beats for the COO of Xue Shipping! She's a true Goddess!"

Some of the girls admire her while some envy her. As for the gentlemen, they cannot take their eyes of her.

Upon entering the venue, she immediately spotted her father who also attended the event. She went straight to greet her elder.

"Father, I did not know that you were also coming tonight. How have you been? I hope you are well."

"Xu-er my dearest daughter! You're here too! Come here I'll introduce you to my friends!" He was so excited because they do not usually see each other.

"Xu-er, you should go back home soon. Visit your Mother, she's missing you dearly. You have to think of your Mother no matter how busy you are."

"I understand, Father. I'll visit this Saturday."

"En-en. That's good! Butler Lee, immediately inform the Madame! What a filial daughter!"

"You go ahead now. Try to see if some gentleman captures your attention. Tell me immediately and I will discuss it with your Grampa. By the way you are very beautiful tonight, my princess!"

"Thank you Father. You too, please enjoy the night." She smiled sweetly, gave her old Father a quick peck on the cheek and left. She deliberately ignored that part in her Father's speech that pertains to picking a potential husband.

She traversed the ballroom. Every now and then she engaged into small talks with some business partners. They exchanged pleasantries.

But most of them also asked about her twin brother.

"Miss Xue, pardon my curiosity, but will the President attend tonight? I mean, you and your Father were here."

It was the Director who asked.

"Why are you looking for my brother? If there is something you need to tell him you can tell it to me or to Butler Lee. We can relay your message for you."

She wasn't smiling at all.

When talking about business with her employees or partners, she made it a point to wear a neutral poker face. That way they would think twice if they even had evil plans brewing. Her persona is not only strong and domineering. It is also intimidating and borderline scary.

It was not only the Director that asked about her brother's presence. There were others who followed suit as well. It was actually starting to annoy her. Because she was the one who was present. She even glammed up for this event.

'Should I or should I not?' She thought. She also thought of the last time she pretended to be her brother.

'Huh.' She sighed.

In the middle of the event there were also fine young men who tried to strike a conversation to her. She was courteous to all but the invisible line was starting to peak up.

She was getting pestered by them one by one. She cannot even focus on the program. She couldn't understand what the hosts were saying. Just because her potential suitors were trying to vie for her attention.

That did it. Pissed, she told Butler Lee to reserve a room for her and to do the arrangements.

After a while, she went to her hotel room and changed out of her clothes. She removed the makeup and donned the male business suit that Butler Lee prepared. She also wore a wig and leather shoes, and returned to the venue.

Butler Lee met 'him' by the entrance. 'He' entered first followed by Butler Lee.

All the ladies gasped in surprise. It was rare to see the Young Master of Xue Shipping. But during those times, he never disappoints. He's at the top of the list that women want to marry.

Father Xue saw 'him' too. His eyes almost popped out of its sockets. He almost had an attack.

Of course he knew that the real Xue Minhe could not be there.

Of course he knew who the person was.

The young master sensed the gaze of Father Xue. He directly went there.

Once seeing that 'he' was going towards his direction, Father Xue excused himself from his peers and also walked towards his child's direction. They met halfway and talked discreetly near a wall.

"Princess, what are you doing?" He said disapprovingly.

"Father, sorry I have to do this. You also know that I need to do this once in a while."

"Please don't call me princess while I'm him."

"I know brother will understand. I know you do too."

Father Xue was helpless. "I know."

"I will only stay for a short while. I'll leave soon." She said.

"Butler Lee, protect her at all cost." Father Xue was really worried whenever she pretends to be her twin brother. However he could only oblige.

Little did Xue Jinxu knew that among the crowd, there was one person who had paid too much attention on her, and had been watching her every move from the shadows.
