C16 How to Display the Highlight?

Qin Huan felt as though he had swallowed the fish ball along with Tang Xinran, prompting him to gulp down his saliva. "How much longer do we have to wait? If we rehearse too long, all the dishes will go cold!"

"Don't worry, I've already made the fish ball soup and kept it warm. The other dishes are prepped and ready to go. After our rehearsal, they'll only need about ten minutes to fry... Humph! And if your rehearsal isn't up to par, I won't bother cooking them at all!" Tang Xinran declared.

Qin Huan glanced at the array of ingredients lined up on the kitchen counter. For the first time ever, he obediently turned his attention to a book... the Slap Project Plan.

Tang Xinran hummed triumphantly, having won that small battle, and turned back to her culinary tasks, preparing the prawns...

After half an hour, with all the ingredients and seasonings prepped and the braised pork ribs simmering on low heat, Tang Xinran figured Qin Huan had read enough. She sliced up a fruit platter and set it on the living room coffee table. "Have some fruit to soothe your throat, then we can start rehearsing!"

Qin Huan admired the intricately arranged fruit platter, marveling at how Tang Xinran, such a delicate beauty, possessed such skillful hands.

Not typically a fruit eater, Qin Huan found himself enjoying several varieties, each tasting sweeter than any he'd had before. Perhaps it was because they had been so artfully prepared by such a sweet person.

Tang Xinran quickly grabbed the last slice of honeydew and popped it into her mouth. "That's enough, I just wanted you to moisten your throat. You've nearly finished them all! If you get thirsty during rehearsal, we'll just waste time cutting more... Come on, let's start with the entrance for this scene..."

She could pout, this woman! But Qin Huan found it endearing. He decided to indulge her, to make her happy.

Tang Xinran took Qin Huan by the arm and led him to the entrance of the living room. "We're simulating the arrival at the evil couple's engagement ceremony. Don't take this first scene lightly. The impression we make when we first appear is critical—it sets the stage for success!"

"Oh! So, what kind of presence do we need to project?"

"We need to embody two types of presence: one is of sheer opulence, and the other is of profound affection."

"How should I contribute to this?"

"You naturally possess a regal temperament and striking looks, which is precisely why I chose you. But beyond these subtle displays of luxury, we need tangible assets to underscore our opulent image..."

I've done my homework. The engagement ceremony for that despicable pair is set on the beach at a five-star seaside hotel in River City. They're flaunting their status by inviting me, their cousin, to the event.

Even if Jiang Lingyuan and I are exes and I'd rather not attend, as a member of the Tang family, I have every reason to be there!

Tang Ruoyun's insistence on my attendance at her engagement ceremony is just another attempt to humiliate me, to flaunt her triumph in contrast to my supposed downfall.

But on that day, I plan to shatter her smugness into dust..."

As she spoke, a gleam shone in Tang Xinran's eyes, "I've spent most of my savings to pull some strings and rent the grandest, most luxurious yacht in Capital Port. This yacht's splendor surpasses anything River City has to offer.

At Tang Ruoyun's wedding, we will arrive as guests in the most stunning and radiant Highlight, outshining her vanity. She's so obsessed with appearances, she'll be beside herself with envy..."
