Chapter 46 - Womans Instinct (1/2)

”What's wrong with that 'no' ?” He Luo came in. ”Sorry I'm late,” he said to everyone there.

”No, you came at the right time. Come with me for a moment.” Ling Feng dragged He Luo instantly before he could properly greeting everyone. Wu Qin and Ling Huang were involved in a conversation that there was not a single word that she understood. Wu Yihan chatted with Ling Huansheng and only Xi Jian was left there.

Xi Jian wasn't interested in making small talk about business tonight. He leaned against the pillar behind him nonchalantly. ”At the very least, you use appropriate accessories in your head,” he said slowly as he swirled the contents of his glass.

Ling Yue turned to her right and left, but there was no one else around her but she who just stood still. 'Is he talking to me?' Ling Yue looked at him confused.

Xi Jian lifted his head. ”That's a good hairpin.”

Apparently she is the one he talked with. ”Just praise me, I'm beautiful, no need to praise the hairpin,” she reproached.

Xi Jian chuckled. ”You are indeed shameless.”

”I'm just stating facts,” she shrugged her shoulders, unconcerned.

Several pairs of eyes lurked at the two of them, looking for opportunities when they could sneak their sons and daughters between them.

”I didn't know that the Ling family still has a beautiful woman.” A man Ling Yue didn't recognize approached and reached out his hand. ”Miss Ling.”

”Hello...”

”You can call me Mr. Guo.” The man then extended his hand to Xi Jian. ”Mr. Xi.”

Xi Jian welcomed him reluctantly. ”Mr. Guo.” Xi Jian knew this man who was several years older than him. King Empire has done business with his company several times. Beyond his reputation as a reliable businessman, he is known as a playboy.

”So, how long have you been abroad Miss Ling?” Guo Yang exposes his whole body to Ling Yue.

”Well, a few years.” Ling Yue answered him politely.

”Oh, yes?” he laughed, clearly looking attractive in the eyes of others, but not in Ling Yue's eyes. She felt something was wrong with this person. ”Where do you live abroad? What is your real occupation?”

Xi Jian began to feel annoyed. It was clear as the star on the night sky this person was trying to hitting on Ling Yue.
