A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Zac and Essie were both absent during Ivy's birthday party, but had all their gifts delivered to arrive on time.

Ivy however, was not disappointed at all. She didn't even seem to notice as she had been completely distracted by Hanson's attendance to her party.

Hanson was not interested in Ivy's party whatsoever. He attended simply thinking that Essie would be there. When he arrived there, he looked all over for her, but was told that Essie had other matters to attend. Hanson was completely disappointed and was left with a sullen expression. He had initially intended to leave right when he found out, but when he realized that forming a bond with Ivy might have some good use for him in the future, he reluctantly decided to stay.

This man was breathtaking, gentle and elegant. Subjectively, he looked even more stunning than he did on television. He seemed like a prince charming straight out of a fairytale. All the girls in the party were so excited that they nervously came up to greet him.

From the other corner of the room, there was a pair of beautiful round eyes observing and watching over him.

Hanson had caught the eyes of a woman with beauty beyond compare. She had a small oval face, delicate features and a honey toned skin that looked just like sunshine. Any person who was looking at her would think she was like a flower just about to bloom.

Her name was Christina Qin, and she was Leila's little sister. She developed a close relationship with the Rong family because of her sister and because she was Ivy's senior classmate. They had a healthy and close relationship and were fond of each other.

Hanson had apparently caught Christina's attention from watching him on television, and because of his graceful demeanor, she fell in love with him immediately. Hanson was right in front of her eyes at that moment and she could not miss her opportunity to get to know him.

However, she was clever enough not to join the other girls, as Hanson would surely not notice her amongst them.

Ivy came out of the make-up room and was shocked to find that her charming man was being invaded by countless girls. So she quickly rushed over to help him out of a ridiculous situation. She came up to them and said, "Today is my birthday and I had personally invited Hanson to this party. You girls cannot come over to harass him."

These words were a declaration of her possession of him, and all the girls proceeded to leave with sullen expressions.

She handed him a glass of champagne and said, "My friends are fans of yours so they might be a little over-excited to see you. I hope you don't mind."

"It's not a problem." Hanson shrugged. He didn't really care for such things. He took a sip of his champagne and asked her, "Does your cousin treat my junior well?"

"He treats her okay, but he has never treated any other woman as well as his wife," Ivy said with a little giggle, completely oblivious to Hanson's malicious expression. However, he didn't believe a single word that Ivy had just said. He knew Essie the most amongst anyone and she never had been a woman of vanity. Hanson was sure that Zac had forced her into leaving him.

"I thought she would be attending here today," he answered passively, pretending he didn't really care.

"She went out on a romantic date with my cousin. They think that going to a party is too crowded and noisy and wanted to spend time together alone." Ivy spoke with a big smile on her face, feeling happy about her cousin's relationship. She was unaware that Hanson was so angry that he clenched his teeth tightly. The hatred was spreading like a torrent wave from his heart.

Around this time, Christina walked towards the two and looked straight at Hanson. She smiled with a graceful ambience and said, "You must be Hanson. I have come across you in the show Beauty on Runway. I'm glad to see you here today."

"This is Christina, my senior schoolmate," Ivy cheerfully introduced.

"Hello," replied Hanson with a completely stoic expression.

Christina didn't think much about it. Since it was the first time they met, it would be natural for some people to feel a bit distant. She simply smiled gently and said, "Everyone is singing in the entertainment room upstairs. Would you like to join us?"
