Xu Xiaoyue said, "Although we were far away, you know I have 1.5 vision. I saw Xi Quan's expression clearly just now. It was like someone owed him a million dollars. His face was so black you could scrape off a layer of ash."
Although Xu Xiaoyue's words were a bit of an exaggeration, Ye Qing could tell from them that Xi Quan was probably unhappy.
Ye Qing didn't doubt Xu Xiaoyue's words, after all, Xu Xiaoyue had no reason to lie about this issue.
But Ye Qing was puzzled as to why Xi Quan was so angry.
"Let's go take a look," Xu Xiaoyue nudged Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was still a little worried about Xu Xiaoyue, but Xu Xiaoyue said, "I'm fine. There are so many people here, what could possibly happen? Besides, my manager is still over there."
As she spoke, Xu Xiaoyue pointed in the direction of her agent towards Ye Qing.
Xu Xiaoyue's agent noticed Xu Xiaoyue's gaze and stood up, walking towards her.
When Ye Qing saw Xu Xiaoyue's agent arrive, she went to find Xi Quan.
Previously, Ye Qing thought that Xi Quan was genuinely angry, but Xu Xiaoyue's words might be an exaggeration. However, now that she saw Xi Quan, Ye Qing realized that Xu Xiaoyue's words were not an exaggeration at all; Xi Quan's face was so black that you could scrape off a layer of ash.
As she took Xi Quan's arm, Ye Qing asked, "What's wrong?"
At the same time, Ye Qing could feel Xi Quan's displeasure more clearly, because the moment she took Xi Quan's arm, Xi Quan had the urge to shake her off.
Just as Xi Quan was about to shake him off, Ye Qing grabbed him tightly. Similarly, Xi Quan managed to control his emotions and didn't shake Ye Qing off.
Otherwise, this dinner party might have received even more attention, as a loving couple was arguing in public!
Although Ye Qing had asked Xi Quan what was wrong, Xi Quan hadn't said anything. Ye Qing patiently asked again, "What's wrong with you?"
After asking the question, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan and saw that he still didn't seem to want to answer. This time, Ye Qing didn't hold back and grabbed Xi Quan, who was about to leave. Her expression was a little more serious than before. Ye Qing raised her head slightly and looked at Xi Quan, who had stopped and turned to look at her: "Judging from your expression, you seem to be angry because of me. Since it's because of me, you should at least let me know why."
"Don't you know?" Xi Quan asked coolly.
Perhaps because it had been a long time since she had argued with Xi Quan, Ye Qing was angered by Xi Quan's question. Who was he talking to with that sarcastic tone?
However, this was a public place after all. If Ye Qing were to argue with Xi Quan here, he would certainly vent his anger, but it wouldn't look good on him either.
So Ye Qing tried her best to control her emotions and make her voice sound calm: "I just don't know why you're angry, that's why I asked you."
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing but still didn't answer. He turned his head away and stopped looking at Ye Qing. Then, in the instant he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, and Xi Quan became irritated again: "It's okay, if you don't know, just forget it."
Ye Qing was furious. What kind of attitude was that!
To be honest, even when I first came to Nancheng and had just gotten to know Xi Quan, the two of us often argued and bickered, but Xi Quan's attitude had never been this bad.
Although Ye Qing knew it was inappropriate to make a scene with Xi Quan in this setting, he didn't want to let it go.
What exactly does he mean by that?
Just as Ye Qing was about to explain things to Xi Quan, Chu Xun came over to them.
To be honest, Ye Qing was a little surprised to see Chu Xun in such a setting, but since they had met and there might be future collaborations, Ye Qing couldn't be negligent. So he quickly composed himself, smiled, and raised his glass to Chu Xun as he walked over.
Xi Quan, who was about to leave, saw Chu Xun coming. Although the cold aura emanating from him lowered the surrounding temperature even further, he stood still and no longer considered leaving.
Although Xi Quan felt even colder when he saw Ye Qing smiling at Chu Xun, he still put his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder, which looked extremely intimate to others.
Although Ye Qing didn't want to show affection with Xi Quan at all at this moment, she couldn't easily break free from him.
Because Xi Quan's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly gripping Ye Qing's shoulder, Ye Qing was a little annoyed. She was exchanging glances with Xi Quan and didn't greet Chu Xun immediately. However, Chu Xun didn't seem to mind. Since Ye Qing didn't speak, he decided to speak first and asked Ye Qing, "You seem very surprised?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "No, Mr. Chu, you are a celebrity. The magazine wants to increase its visibility and is looking for you to enhance their reputation."
Others might be pleased to hear this, but Chu Xun could tell that Ye Qing's words were just polite social niceties without any real emotion or sincerity.
Chu Xun's smile faded considerably. He said, "I specifically asked someone for the invitation to thank you."
These words surprised Ye Qing, but when he saw Chu Xun's gaze deliberately glancing at his clothes, Ye Qing suddenly understood.
He was wearing the Zhongshan suit designed by Ye Qing, which was very appropriate for this occasion.
As a designer, Ye Qing also had professional habits. She looked Chu Xun up and down and then said, "The size is just right for Mr. Chu."
So thank you.
Ye Qing felt Xi Quan's grip on her shoulders tighten. Belatedly realizing something, Ye Qing seemed to understand something. Now she only wanted to get rid of Chu Xun as soon as possible, so she said politely, "Mr. Chu, you're too kind. This is what we agreed on back then. Although we didn't sign a contract, I am very contract-abiding."
These words were mostly meant for Xi Quan to hear, but Xi Quan didn't seem particularly pleased. After remaining silent, Xi Quan spoke up directly: "Mr. Chu, please excuse me. There are some familiar friends over there. My wife and I will go and say hello."
Chu Xun nodded awkwardly.
Although Xi Quan's words were an excuse, he did exchange a few pleasantries with the person before leaving with Ye Qing.
"Because Chu Xun is angry? How could I possibly know why?" Ye Qing asked Xi Quan after the two left the banquet hall.
Xi Quan didn't want to talk about it earlier, but now that he heard Ye Qing ask him this, he got even angrier.
In Xi Quan's opinion, it was one thing that you didn't see Chu Xun earlier and didn't understand why, but now that you know it's because of Chu Xun, why are you still asking why?!
Xi Quan chuckled coldly.
Ye Qing intended to speak calmly and rationally with Xi Quan, but to her surprise, Xi Quan remained sarcastic and unfriendly. Ye Qing gave up on communicating with Xi Quan, shook off his arm, and strode away.
Xi Quan was surprised that Ye Qing left like this. After all, in Xi Quan's opinion, it was clearly Ye Qing's fault, yet she still threw a tantrum!
