Chapter 62 (1/2)
After Yan Tian and Liu Ruoxin left the car, a middle-aged man came over to them: ”Hahaha, Chairman Liu, we are graced by your presence. You've truly given I, Xue, face.”
”President Xue, your words are those of an outsider. How could I dare not to come at President Xue's invitation?” Liu Ruoxin seemed to have a good relations.h.i.+p with President Xue, not displaying a callous expression at all.
”Hahaha, dare I ask who this sir is?” President Xue at this time suddenly looked at Yan Tian on the side and asked.
At this moment, Yan Tian knew he should take to the stage as well, consequently not waiting for Liu Ruoxin to speak, he spoke voluntarily: ”Hehe, greetings President Xue. I've waited long for this day to meet President Xue. Today, I can see that sure enough your reputation precedes you. I'm Ruoxin's husband, Yan Tian. It'll be fine for you to just call me Yan Tian; calling me sir is too formal.”
Hearing Yan Tian's words, Liu Ruoxin resisted the urge to break into a smile with great difficulty from her side. He could truly blow his own horn, moreover saying he had been looking forward to meeting President Xue for a long time. She reckoned he didn't even know what to call President Xue. Fortunately, he didn't lose face for her.
”Hahaha, good, then I'll call you Little Tian. It's merely when did you and Ruoxin marry? How come I didn't know of it? Ruoxin, you shouldn’t have concealed it from me.” President Xue clapped Yan Tian's shoulder happily and asked quite curiously at the same time.
Once she heard President Xue's question, Liu Ruoxin was clearly hesitant, however, Yan Tian's mind was quick to react, since he had thought up of an answer earlier.
”Oh my, President Xue's words are incorrect. How could my Ruoxin not inform President Xue of such a grand matter? It's just that we wanted to ensure our relations.h.i.+p tis' all. We're preparing a time to be wed; when the time comes, I reckon we'll be sure to bleed out President Xue of his coffers.”
”Hahaha, well said, well said. I, Xue, shall await that day. Hehe, quickly, please come in.” Once President Xue heard Yan Tian, he laughed heartily, promptly letting the two of them walk in.
On the contrary, Liu Ruoxin responded quite politely and then took Yan Tian's arm and entered. At the same moment, Liu Ruoxin whispered lowly: ”His name is Xue Hai. His conduct is outstanding and is worthy of a.s.sociation. His Xue Family is the number one ranked family in Fengan City. Tonight's wine reception is hosted by the Xue Family.”
”Fengan City's number one family? That's pretty freaking awesome, however, it's not as awesome as your Liu Family, huehue.” Yan Tian chuckled once Liu Ruoxin finished speaking.
”Shut it. Don't mention my Liu Family.” Upon mentioning the Liu Family, Liu Ruoxin glared at Yan Tian briefly.
Yan Tian grinned, then said no more. As soon as they entered, Yan Tian saw quite a few acquaintances. He could see Zi Qi, Gao Chengwen, and the son of the munic.i.p.al secretary he had hit once inside. Furthermore, Huang Le was present as well, yet as for Flaming Ma, he actually wasn't here.
”Oh, why if it isn't Chairman Liu? Greetings and salutations.” Noticing that Liu Ruoxin had come in, a middle-aged woman came over.
Yan Tian didn't expect Liu Ruoxin's appearance would draw the disturbance of the crowd. Currently, he could see quite a few people had come over to converse with her. A great majority of them spoke of business matters and praised her. Additionally, some sons of officials came over to strike up a conversation as well.
Of course, many people were quite curious who the man was at Liu Ruoxin's side. How could she even be held in arm? It was unlikely she had found a boyfriend, no?
”Hehe, Chairman Liu, come now, this sir is?” The son of an official came over getting ready to strike up a conversation, but he spotted Yan Tian at the side.
”This is my husband, Yan Tian.” At this time, Liu Ruoxin was determined to use Yan Tian as a s.h.i.+eld, promptly embracing his arm tightly and said.
In Fengan City, Liu Ruoxin was publically acknowledged as the number one beauty. The number of her suitors naturally weren't small, since in the past, every time she come to these dinner parties, social gatherings, and so on, she would run across these sons of officials coming over to hit on her. This was her objective in bringing Yan Tian today; it was to completely make him act as her excuse.
”Oh! Chairman Liu, I heard from Chengwen yesterday say you had a boyfriend, but I hadn't believed it at first. So it seems you truly have once. Congratulations!” Just as Liu Ruoxin finished speaking, Gao Chengwen's father Gao Changle promptly congratulated her.
”Thank you!” Liu Ruoxin shyly lowered her head at once.
At the side, Yan Tian greeted the surrounding people from time to time. In any case, whatever Liu Ruoxin called them was what he called them. Regardless of whether he knew them or not, he greeted all of them as if he had been awaiting the day to meet them. It truly seemed like he meant it as such.
Soon, many people came to know Yan Tian was Liu Ruoxin's husband. Some of the enthusiastically came over to give their congratulations, while some glanced disdainfully at him.
Yan Tian sensed these shreds of resentment quite quickly. He could see that each and everyone of those sons of officials that were preparing to take advantage of tonight's wine reception to hit it off with Liu Ruoxin were staring fiercely at him at the moment, since within their minds, she was a G.o.ddess. As of now, their G.o.ddess had become the wife of another man; how could they not be angry?
In fact, they weren't angry, but instead looked at Yan Tian in jealousy and hatred. It had to be known in the past Liu Ruoxin had completely ignored anyone's efforts to hit it off with her. She would always say one or two things to deal with them, then head off. Thus, they were quite curious how he wooed her.
