You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 849

It was still early in the night, so the hall was still relatively empty.

Except for a few guests, there were just security guards and servants. The guards, although dressed in civilian clothes, had a certain aura that made it obvious that they weren't ordinary security guards.

The servants also were well-dressed, each of them standing upright and smiling politely.

The scene where Michelle fell into someone's arms attracted everyone's attention. Caroline whirled around in surprise and hurried to her side.

Selena's eyes widened when they landed on the person who caught Michelle.

"Holy crap, it's Count Nangong," she muttered under her breath.

Then she hurried to follow Caroline.

As soon as Michelle came to her senses, she stood up and bowed, apologizing profusely. As she lowered her head, she noticed a wrinkled dot on Vicente's otherwise perfect leather shoe. The wrinkle must've been caused by her stiletto heel.

She covered her mouth in horror. 'He must be in pain!' she thought.

"I'm so sorry!" Michelle apologized with lowered head.

When Vicente saw her face, she was stunned for a moment.

'Why is Mimi on C Island?

Am I daydreaming?'

"Don't worry about it, I'm fine. Raise your head." Vicente had always been gentle in other people's eyes. Her voice was soft and calm; she didn't blame Michelle at all.

Michelle raised her head and looked at Vicente apologetically. She didn't recognize Vicente since he looked so different from Berry now.

For the longest time, no one had found out that Vicente was actually a woman. So, naturally, a silly girl like Michelle didn't realize this, either.

Vicente let Michelle look her up and down.

"Count Nangong." Selena walked over gracefully and discretely stepped in front of Michelle, as though she was worried Vicente would find out her secret. She smiled charmingly and said, "I apologize on behalf of my friend. And please, allow me to pay for your shoes."

Caroline cautiously Michelle back and whispered to ask if she was okay. Michelle nodded in a daze and quietly eyed Vicente.

The more she looked at Vicente, the more familiar she looked.

'Selena called him Count Nangong.

Is he the Count Nangong who had a fake marriage with Nini?'

Perplexed, Michelle kept squinting at Vicente. Even though she knew it was impolite, she couldn't tear her eyes off the other person.

Nina had only mentioned a few things about the fake marriage, so Michelle had only ever heard of Vicente.

Both Van and Don called Vicente their daddy.

"Mimi," Caroline called out in a stern, low voice, subtly ordering her to stop staring at Vicente.

Michelle lowered her eyes obediently and hid behind the tall, slender Selena.

Only then did she realize that all the girls on C Island seemed to be very tall. Selena, albeit in high heels, was as tall as Vicente.

'Does that mean the men on C Island are short?

No, no, that can't be. Leon is tall. Even the men I saw along the way are all very tall, so Count Nangong must just be average height.'

Vicente glanced at Michelle. "It's alright; it's just a pair of shoes."

The servants, worried that this matter would end up in a dispute, walked over.

"Good evening, Count Nangong, Miss Selena and ladies from Xuan family. What can I do for you?"

The Yin family required every servant to be able to match the names of the guests with their faces. Thus, when the guests showed their invitations, the servants were secretly making mental notes of their names and faces.

When the servant called Michelle and Caroline ladies from Xuan family, the smile on Selena's face stiffened somewhat. If it weren't for her acting skills, it would've been difficult to conceal her nervousness.

Vicente's mother was a member of Xuan family.

Consequently, Vicente was a cousin of the young ladies of Xuan family.

The young ladies of the Xuan family had been staying abroad in the past and had only come back not long ago. Outsiders had no clue how they looked like. Vicente, on the other hand, knew.

Selena swallowed nervously. When Michelle bumped into Vicente, Selena hoped that the servants wouldn't reveal her identity.

However, things didn't go as she had hoped.

Vicente smiled. "Addie and Leda."
