Chương 63: Escort Zhuo
Though exhausted, Lily agreed to go out with Li Shanshan to celebrate the last day of her singlehood. Her friend had a point. Marriage is quite a big deal. Li Shanshan then happily called a few people to meet at Highlights - one of Hong Kong's most upscale club.
…
At Highlights.
Lily made a quick call to inform Zhuo Jingren about their night out. She also made sure to send him the address of the club that they were at.
"Asking for permission already? Hmmm… You aren't even officially married to him yet and you are already so submissive?" Lily looked up and Fernando's beautiful face came into view. The latter was leaning over and peeking at her screen.
"Please respect my privacy, thank you," she said, rolling her eyes at Fernando. Then, she spotted a tall girl beside her friend. "And she is?"
"My date for tonight," Fernando answered nonchalantly before making himself comfortable on the couch in their VIP booth. "Lily… this is Lily," he introduced his date before bursting into laughter. His antics only earned a raised eyebrow from Lily.
"Hi, I am Lila, pleased to meet you," the girl decided to introduce herself, holding out her hand.
"Pleased to meet you. Call me Lily." Lily shook Lila's hand.
Fernando had always fancied beautiful black women and Lila was no exception. She was tall and slim, and she had piercing almond eyes. Lily guessed that this girl might be a model.
"Now that everyone is here… I would like to announce a very big news!" Li Shanshan exclaimed. In addition to Fernando and Lila, Yang Mi and the two directors that Lily had brought from London, Mr. Beau and Miss O'Kelly were also invited.
"Our Lily… is getting married!" Li Shanshan squealed before she raised her glass of champagne to initiate a toast. Loud gasps could be heard before everyone followed Li Shanshan's lead and raised their glass of champagne. "To a happy marriage!"
Everyone immediately gave their congratulations to Lily. "So who is the lucky guy?" Fernando asked with a smile but the glint in his eyes revealed that he was far from being happy.
"Let's just call him Escort Zhuo," Li Shanshan butted in before downing another glass of champagne.
"Zhuo?" Fernando raised an eyebrow as he watched the glistening champagne in his hand. "As in Zhuo Capital?"
"Yes," Lily answered nonchalantly, making a nod at Yang Mi and her directors who were gesturing to her that they would be going to the dance floor. "Long story."
"Does he treat you well?" Fernando asked.
"So far...yes," she answered truthfully before sipping her own champagne. "He actually went looking for me after I disappeared seven years ago and he never gave up searching for me until he found me."
Fernando experienced complicated emotions after hearing what Lily said. "Do you want to dance?" Lily nodded and took his hand before walking out of their booth.
As they were making their way to the dance floor, Lily let her eyes roam around, appreciating the beauty of the club's interiors. Highlights was known for its sophistication. It was the people's choice for clubbing and holding celebrations. As they walked past a hall of mirrors, Lily turned to look at her reflection briefly and nodded in satisfaction.
Lily was currently wearing a short, fitted Louis Vuitton crepe dress in cream. It was V neck with a low-cut back. She paired it with a beige Christian Louboutin's strass platform shoes which made her feet look as if they were wrapped in diamonds. Her hair was in a French twist, with a few loose strands of hair fell that along the sides of her face, framing her face. Lily also opted for a dramatic eye shadow, intensifying her already beautiful golden eyes and a nude lipstick. The alcohol that Lily drunk also caused her cheeks to turned a little scarlet, making her even more attractive.
While Lily was looking classy and sexy, Fernando was also looking hot with his pink oxford and white chinos. He paired his outfit with white sneakers. While Fernando does not give off a strong aura that would stop you in your tracks, people still couldn't help but to eye the beautiful man who was leading a beautiful woman towards the dance floor.
When they arrived at the dance floor, Lily was immediately captivated by seductive lantern lighting that reminded her of the northern lights. There was an array of blues, gold, pinks and green, making the smoky dance floor more vibrant.
The walls of the club were made of inverted bottles filled with neon colored liquid. The light on the walls illuminated these bottles adding to the sophistication of the club.
"Ready?" Fernando asked, as a new tune played. The people on the dance floor were now changing their pace to match the current sexy tune that was playing in the background. This was not the first time that Fernando and Lily had danced together and so the two were already familiar with each other's moves.
Lily gave Fernando a smirk before kicking her right leg forward and landing on pointed toes. Lily then pivoted towards Fernando with grace and accuracy.
Fernando skillfully caught her in his arms before he asked, "Are you really sure about this marriage?" Then he used one hand to spin her around before reeling her back into his arms.

Chương 64: Kick Her Out of This Place
"I am." She smiled before circling around Fernando.
"Do you like him?" he asked, his gaze following her every move.
"I do." She smiled once again, swaying her hips in the process. Fernando did not say anything more as he began to groove to the music. As the song progressed, more people on the dance floor started paying attention to them and were looking at them with eyes full of admiration.
"If he ever…." He made a deliberate pause while spinning her around. "If he ever hurt you… just remember that I always have your back. Alright?"
"I will always remember that," Lily said gratefully. Fernando had always treated Lily like a sister. Perhaps it was because he once had a sister who had unfortunately passed away. When Lily entered his life, she reminded him so much of his sister and he couldn't help but to feel protective over her. Hence, it wasn't a surprise that Fernando would ask to speak to her privately to ask her more about Zhuo Jingren. But there were some thoughts that he had about Zhuo Jingren that he chose not to share with Lily.
Lily and Fernando's movements continued to be in sync with each other which caused the people on the dance floor to cheer enthusiastically for them. Their cheers gained the attention of the people from the VIP booths on the second floor that were overlooking the dance floor.
"Who is that woman?" asked Yuan Dehua. He was one of Xuan Hui's business partners and was not much older than Xuan Hui, in his thirties. "She does not look like a regular here," he added, eyeing the woman in question.
Xuan Hui turned his gaze to the dance floor and immediately frowned. "I don't know but she seems familiar." As the lighting in the club was dim and colored, it was hard for Xuan Hui to recognize Lily.
"Is she one of your previous women?" Yuan Dehua teased which incited laughter from the other men in the group.
"I am a changed man," Xuan Hui said, looking away from the dance floor. He turned his attention towards the investor that he was talking to. This investor, Xander Martin, was a known producer in Europe who was looking to invest in a film company. With the man's credentials, Xuan Hui thought that he would make a good partner in his endeavor to branch out into the European film market. Hence, he made sure to treat this potential investor well by bringing him to the best club in Hong Kong.
"So… I was planning to invest in this…"
"Aha! I know her! I remember that woman!" Yuan Dehua exclaimed, interrupting Xuan Hui. "That is Qin Jinghua!"
Everyone in the booth immediately turned their attention towards Lily who was happily dancing with Fernando. Most of the men in the group were good friends with Xuan Hui and so they knew about his past with Qin Jinghua. At this realization, everyone's gaze towards her changed. Their eyes that were full of appreciation earlier were now full of disdain.
"Why would she be here?" Xuan Hui asked while looking at Qin Jinghua.
"Who is that?" Mr. Martin asked in Chinese, his gaze was also glued to the woman that he also found somewhat familiar.
"Someone insignificant," Xuan Hui answered before asking one of his guards to inform the security of this club and have them chase Qin Jinghua out. Seeing a woman like her would only sting their eyes. He then turned his attention back to Mr. Martin.
"As I was saying…"
"I'm sorry Mr. Xuan but that woman is from Europe as well, correct?" he asked, suspicion written all over his face. Mr. Martin seemed to have caught a glimpse of Fernando Kim and the famous Director Li in the club. He thought he had seen them dancing with the woman who was identified as 'Qin Jinghua' and she happened to look a lot like the famous Lily Facci-Qin in London. To meet a woman in Hong Kong looking like Lily Facci-Qin could be a coincidence. But with Fernando Kim and Director Li present as well, this could only mean that the woman whom the group had identified as 'Qin Jinghua' was in fact Lily Facci-Qin and not some look alike.
Mr. Martin immediately wondered if these people knew the true identity of woman they were about to kick out in this club.
"Yes, she said that she had stayed in Europe for a few years. If you found her familiar, it could be that you have seen her in some gatherings or other clubs. That woman is someone who leeches off rich people and make use of them for her advantage," said Xia Leizhou, another one of Xuan Hui's business partners who recognized Lily answered. Mr. Martin instantly frowned.
'Leech? Don't they know who Lily is?'
"We should stop talking about this. Security will kick her and her companions out soon." Xuan Hui observed as one of his men approached a security personnel stationed near the dance floor. However, to his surprise, he saw the security personnel shaking his head and signaling that he would not kick Lily and her companions out.
"Let's not mind the woman and talk about business instead." Xuan Hui composed himself and smiled at Mr. Martin. "So.. as I was saying, I am planning to invest in this film with an international director. I am sure this will be a hit in the western market."
"Xuan Hui… your guard said that the security personnel refused to kick them out as they are VIP clients here," Xia Leizhou interrupted their conversation once again. Xia Leizhou really wanted to kick Qin Jinghua out of this club. To him, a woman like her was an embarrassment. "Xuan Hui, do you want to come with me? I will personally kick her out of this place," he said before he rose from his seat, his eyes full of unmasked disdain.
