131 The Glittering Blue Dress

The lady took out a glittering blue dress from the box, it came with a matching blue high heeled shoes.

The ladies in the room including Xin Yong who hadn\'t seen the dress all gaped in awe.

"Isn\'t it amazing!! "

Liling screamed happily as she rushed over and took the dress from the lady.

"Xin Yong, come over and put it on, I bet it\'s your size!. "

Liling immediately went over to her side and gave her the dress, obliging her to wear it immediately.

Everyone watched expectantly as Xin Yong put on the dress, a lady helped her with the zippers while the others waited for the outcome.

The dress was short, Jin Yue loved short wears. Her boobs were covered for the most part, though her cleavages were out in the sun.

The dress was low at the back, thus exposing a good portion of her white back.

"You look amazing!! "

A lady finally said, breaking the silence. That was when Liling realized she had been lost admiring her friend.

"This doesn\'t seem like a birthday party at all, who agrees with me... "

Liling said amdst chuckles.

"More like a marriage proposal! "

A lady said immediately after her, others echoed in agreement.

"Liling! "

Xin Yong screamed in embarrassment. If the women in the room watched her in awe, then what about Jin Yue...

At the thought of him, a blush crept up on her face. She couldn\'t wait to see his expression when he saw her.

She turned to admire herself in the mirror.

The dress was fitting, and given her nice figure, it fitted perfectly on her body.

"Alright, quickly, quickly, put on your shoes, time to parry! "

"Liling, you are so excited, hope I\'m not missing anything here!"

Liling who was walking to the shoes stopped midway, she instinctively turned to look at Xin Yong.

"Haha, can\'t I be happy for your birthday?, besides, this is a very grand birthday party, and Jin Yue invited his circle of friends whom he\'ll surely introduce you to.

They are going to see his stunning queen today, isn\'t that worth being excited for? Haha"

Xin Yong rolled her eyes at her as a lady helped her with her shoes, after which she checked herself again in the mirror but before she could take a good look, Liling had dragged her away.

When they were almost downstairs, two women, obviously attendants, came towards them.

Xin Yong watched them approach, a bit confused.

"Alright Xin Yong, I need to wear something nice, I\'m the girlfriend\'s BFF, I won\'t be walking around with you on these!"

Liling pointed at what she was wearing and they both burst out laughing. That was when Xin Yong realized that she had been on shorts and a Mickey Mouse top.

"Alright, don\'t be late!"

Xin Yong screamed after Liling who was already running back upstairs.

...

To say that she wasn\'t scared would be bluffing, but she immediately got hold of herself.

Liling wouldn\'t go to that extent just to hurt her and...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! "

Xin Yong was kicked out of her thoughts as her eyes were forced close by a blinding light.

It took her some time to flutter them open.

Her eyes met a magnificent hall with her name written everywhere... no, it was... it was

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET that was written everywhere!!

\'Jin Yue!!\'

It took her a while to realize that people were standing in front of her, their faces beaming with smiles.

The surprising thing of all was that she didn\'t know anyone of them, so where did they all come from?

Out of utter embarrassment, Xin Yong could only smile sheepishly as she held the corners of her dress.

"Oh my! she\'s really beautiful! "

"Where has she been all these time? why haven\'t we seen her even once?!, Jin Yue had been hiding her away right?"

The ladies whispered among themselves as they walked Xin Yong to her well decorated seat.

Many of them wanted to be on her good side, so they came around, smiling and engaging in one discussion or the other.

The hall was very large and people were scattered everywhere discussing among themselves, while others where sipping from wine glasses served by the waiters.

Most of them were giving her weird gazes, which made her a bit uncomfortable.

Although Xin Yong was grateful, she didn\'t like this much of exposure and given that she was surrounded by strangers and Jin Yue was nowhere to be found, she started feeling sick.

The music in the hall was a bit loud which made it worse since she couldn\'t hear what the ladies were saying, she could only nod in agreement to anything they said.

"Alright, alright, we can see the birthday girl here, so I think it\'s time to cut the cake and let the party begin! "

The MC who Xin Yong was just seeing for the first time screamed over the microphone and the people in the hall screamed after him.

Xin Yong searched around the room for Jin Yue asked the women pulled her up.

\'Was she going to cut her cake by herself?\'
