The lights interwove, and the melodious blues flowed gently, all the elite members of Bai city gathered in the Imperial City to attend the birthday banquet of the young master of Bai city, Shu Min Yan.
Moonlight sprinkled onto this open-air banquet hall, making it a lively spectacle. However, unnoticed in a corner were two adorable little children crouching.
"Bamboo, I'll keep a lookout. Later, when the crowd is distracted, you just need to climb into that gift box, okay?" Said a little boy, more delicate than a doll, with a tactician's demeanor.
A young girl sitting opposite him, identical in appearance, crinkled her little sparkling face, "Brother, do we really have to do this? Mommy has told us to avoid creating troubles."
"Hmph, this just proves what I've always told you - you're a real momma's girl!" The young boy let out a cold huff from his nostrils.
The little girl's eyebrows pinched together in hesitation, after a moment, she finally nodded, "Alright, Yan’er will do as told. But brother, please don’t call me Bamboo anymore."
"Got it, got it, little Bamboo." Zhu Yixuan said with casual placation, his gaze already focusing on the target of their plan.
A properly dressed man around thirty, holding a stemmed glass, and a woman leaning sweetly against his shoulder - such an enviable scene instantly ruined by the unexpected appearance of a child.
"Daddy, mommy told me to call you home for dinner! You've not come home to see baby and mommy for such a long time!" The child's teary big eyes glisten and her lips pouted, as she timidly clenched the man's clothes, pleading pitifully.
"Get lost, where did this brat come from, spouting nonsense!" The man tried to remove the soft hands, but before he could do so, the woman beside him slapped him across his face.
"You told me, the woman at your home was as useless as a barren hen, then explain this little brat!" The woman yanked the glass from the man's hands and splashed it onto his face.
Since their location wasn't far from the center, it quickly attracted everyone's attention.
For men like them, more or less, had an extramarital relationship, but it was an unspoken rule.
But on such occasions, they would always bring their legitimate partners, only not imagining someone would dare to bring the illicit one as well.
Moreover, to top it off, he was publicly exposed by his own son, which was extremely embarrassing.
Instantly, debates started. The man felt utterly humiliated, and his face didn't look good at all.
Zhu Yixuan glanced in a certain direction. Taking advantage of the diverted crowd's attention, Zhu Yanyan was hiding and had made her way to the gift box.
The gift box was the height of a normal adult, so for the petite Zhu Yanyan, it was like a towering existence.
She conveyed a message to Zhu Yixuan on the other side of the room with her eyes: Brother, it's too high. I can't scramble up.
"Useless girl!" recipients Zhu Yanyan's message, Zhu Yixuan immediately frowned.
Because they were twins, although they were far apart, Zhu Yanyan knew that her brother must be angry now.
She pouted her lips, her beautiful eyes instantly dimmed. After looking around, her eyes lit up.
She mustered all her strength, dragging over this small wooden ladder which happened to be placed where she was plotting with her brother.
With the help of the small wooden ladder, Zhu Yanyan finally managed to climb into the gift box.
However, what she did not know was that every move of hers was being watched by someone.
