Mrs. Su and her entourage saw Su Ruiyi off at the airport. For this trip to the debutante ball, Mrs. Su had arranged a photography team, a styling team, and several assistants for Su Ruiyi.
Su Ruiyi held her phone, having called Ou Yunchen numerous times, but he hadn't answered any of her calls.
— Su Ruiyi's Message —
Su Ruiyi: "I've called you several times. Are you busy? I'm heading to Paris today, and I miss you so much. Please give me a call back when you see this."
— End of Su Ruiyi's Message —
Mrs. Su: "Yiyi, what are you doing? We're about to go through security. Can you perk up a bit?"
Su Ruiyi quickly put down her phone. Looking at the large group accompanying her, she felt even more flustered.
Mrs. Su: "Remember what I told you. You are a debutante now. Before you speak, you must remember what your teachers taught you. Be confident when facing the cameras."
Su Ruiyi: "I know."
Mrs. Su: "Also, on the plane, memorize Emmanuel's personal preferences again. You need to be engaging when you meet him!"
Su Ruiyi: "Then you can go in my place."
Mrs. Su: "You!!!"
Just as Mrs. Su was about to lose her temper, she remembered the cameras were still rolling. She quickly turned Su Ruiyi around, and the two of them spoke harshly to each other with their backs to the lens.
Mrs. Su: "Don't disgrace the Su family. The whole world will be watching!"
An assistant handed Su Ruiyi her passport and informed them that they could proceed through security.
Mrs. Su patted Su Ruiyi's shoulder from the outside. Facing the cameras, she looked at her daughter's retreating back with a loving gaze.
Being chosen to attend the debutante ball was an honor for the Su family. She could not afford to have any shortcomings from Su Ruiyi.
Photographer: "Alright, Miss Su, turn back and wave to your mother."
Su Ruiyi turned around with a reluctant smile and waved at Mrs. Su. The moment she turned back, the smile vanished from her face.
Meanwhile, Ou Yunchen had already boarded Maggie's private jet.
Maggie: "Luggage?"
Ou Yunchen: "We're not going on vacation. Why would I need luggage?"
Maggie: "Quick mission? I like it."
Maggie handed Ou Yunchen a tablet.
Maggie: "This is the hotel floor plan. The red dots indicate the temporary storage for the artificial heart. There will be rotating bodyguards outside the room. As for what's happening inside, we have no information."
Ou Yunchen zoomed in and out, meticulously studying the layout of the floor plan, memorizing every corridor and the distance between rooms.
Ou Yunchen: "Have you found out who Michelle plans to send to steal the heart?"
Maggie: "Not yet, but this is a list of potential hires. I've filtered it based on their recent availability."
Ou Yunchen scanned the names on the list, some familiar, others not. Anyone chosen by Michelle for such a critical task must be no ordinary person. Ou Yunchen needed to understand this adversary in case they had to face each other. Stealing the heart would undoubtedly be more difficult than destroying it, so could the 'errand boy' be more than one person? There were too many variables.
After the plane took off, Maggie offered Ou Yunchen a glass of champagne.
Ou Yunchen: "I won't be drinking, thank you."
Maggie: "It's been a long time since I've seen you so focused. The way you look down at things makes my heart flutter for you all over again."
As she spoke, Maggie downed her champagne and deliberately stumbled, aiming to sit on Ou Yunchen's lap.
Ou Yunchen grabbed Maggie's wrist, twisted it, and with a flick of his arm, another glass of champagne landed squarely on her chest.
Maggie: "You crazy maniac! This is Mirovan! I waited so long to get this!"
Ou Yunchen put down his documents, wrapped an arm around Maggie's waist, and whispered in her ear in a low, husky voice, "You're too noisy."
Maggie immediately dropped her wine glass, cupped Ou Yunchen's face, and kissed him passionately. This was the opportunity she had always dreamed of.
Ou Yunchen dragged Maggie by the waist, kissing her all the way to the bathroom door. Maggie felt even breathing was a waste of time! Just as she was impatiently anticipating devouring this man, Ou Yunchen tugged at his tie, pushed open the bathroom door, and with a strong shove, forced her inside.
With a bang, the bathroom door slammed shut. It was then that Maggie realized Ou Yunchen had played a trick on her! Not only had Ou Yunchen thrown her into the cramped bathroom, but he had also found a stick from the outside to firmly wedge the door shut.
Maggie: "Open the door! You psycho!!!"
Ou Yunchen: "Celebrate your mission's success in there early, old woman!!!"
Maggie: "Argh!!! Madman!!! Pervert!!!"
