Chapter 17 Fifth Outfit
The charity dinner hosted by the Qiu family attracts countless famous and wealthy families to attend every year. The rich and powerful regard receiving the dinner invitation as a symbol of status, and those from slightly lower-class families are all trying their best to squeeze in and want to use this opportunity to make more connections.
This dinner was like a gathering of the wealthy in Beijing, and naturally, the wealthy young men and women were also present. Therefore, the charity dinner also had another nickname, "Beijing Circle Blind Date."
Of course, in the beginning, the beautiful and exquisite Omegas all came for the young masters who were held in the palm of their hands by the Fu and Qiu families. However, later on, Fu Yuan basically stopped showing up, so they turned their targets to the Alphas of other families.
The most favored Alphas among the Omegas were, besides Zhao Kuo, the crown prince of the Zhao Group, and Xu Ancheng, the next heir to the Xu Group. While the Xu family couldn't match the Zhao family, they had assets abroad, and Xu Ancheng was easier to get along with than Zhao Kuo.
At today's dinner, the Omega young masters and young ladies were looking forward to the arrival of Zhao Kuo who had returned and Xu Ancheng who was absent last time. However, they did not expect that these two chosen ones did not even look at them and surrounded Fu Su.
Everyone in the Beijing circle knows that Fu Su is an illegitimate child.
His Omega father was well-versed in tactics and had forced the first wife to death to succeed him. It was unknown what other means he had used to obtain a portion of the Fu family's shares and, with the support of Old Master Fu, he was able to rival the current head of the Fu family, Fu Yuan.
An exquisite Omega rolled his eyes at Fu Su. "Mistresses are really different. They're thicker-skinned than a city wall. They forced someone's son to death, and yet they dared to come to the Qiu family's charity dinner."
The companion beside him tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Stop talking. Even if he's an illegitimate child, the Fu family's equity is real. I heard from my father that he might be able to take the top position in the future."
Another companion sighed, "But honestly, he's really beautiful, and that cool aura is truly alluring. Didn't you see that all the other Alphas were looking at him? They just didn't dare approach because of those two. He's a real charmer."
Omega gritted his teeth. He couldn't refute this. Fu Su's appearance was indeed one in a million.
But he felt extremely aggrieved, and thought, someone please come, no matter who it is, to kill the arrogance of this illegitimate child!
It was at this time that Ji Xia walked into the banquet hall holding Chen Xi's arm. Although he did not know what the Omega was praying in his heart, he could truly feel the countless gazes cast at him.
He asked in a low voice, somewhat awkwardly: "Doctor Chen, why are they all looking at me?"
Chen Xi said with a smile in his voice: "Because you are too dazzling."
Ji Xia thought it wasn't because he was too dazzling, it was all thanks to the system. He had given keywords like "charity dinner, mermaid," and the system had picked out this modified mermaid outfit for him. The cufflinks and tie clip were both adorably shell-shaped.
Xu Ancheng was desperately trying to compete with Zhao Kuo for the best position next to Fu Su, but Zhao Kuo was too domineering and he always lost. This time, Zhao Kuo used the topic of investment to attract Fu Su's attention. Since it was an area he knew little about, he could not get a word in and could only stand aside as a foil.
Zhao Kuo gave him a mocking look.
Xu Ancheng was furious but helpless.
He gulped down a glass of champagne, his eyes casually glancing at something, his heart agitated, and he immediately turned back. When he saw the Omega in the sky blue dress, his pupils suddenly trembled, and the sound of his heart beating violently rang in his ears.
The young Omega stood in the light refracted by the crystal, sparkling.
His hair is slightly long and looks very soft. When his small face, which is the size of a palm, turns to a certain angle, his beautiful eyes appear a light blue, full of romantic and dreamy colors.
She wore a dark blue gemstone earring on her right ear, which sparkled brightly under the refraction of the light.
The sky blue dress made his skin look even whiter and more translucent, and the smooth tailoring made his legs look straight and slender.
No matter from which angle you look at it, it is so exquisite that it looks like a little prince who walked out of the dream of the top painter.
The Omega seemed to notice his gaze, turned his head and looked over, arching his eyebrows as he looked into his eyes.
At this moment, Xu Ancheng stopped breathing.
He felt that he was too narrow-minded before. He built a fish pond hoping to get the mermaid of his dreams from it, but he ignored the fact that mermaids come from the sea.
All he could do was offer his love, give everything, and wait.
The mermaid waiting for him was moved by him and was willing to give up the vast ocean, transform her beautiful fish tail into human legs, and come to his side.
He seemed to be a lucky guy, getting what he wanted without paying anything, because he saw the Omega boy walking towards him with a glass of wine.
It was his first time attending such a banquet and leaving Chen Xi, so Ji Xia felt a little trembling when walking, but in order to achieve his goal, he tried hard to overcome his nervousness.
He stopped beside Xu Ancheng, smiled politely, and said, "Mr. Xu, what a coincidence, we meet again."
When the Omega approached, Xu Ancheng felt a burst of cool water vapor, which added a touch of color to his imagination.
He was already certain in his heart that the person in front of him was the little mermaid prince who had transformed into a human for him.
He said obsessively: "Baby, this is destiny."
Ji Xia: …………
The look in Xu Ancheng's eyes and the tone of his voice made him feel uncomfortable, but he still went ahead and explained his purpose. "I want to talk to you about that piece of land. Are you free now?"
Xu Ancheng said excitedly: "When I'm free. Of course, my time is yours, baby."
Fu Su was talking to Zhao Kuo about the investment project, but he noticed that Zhao Kuo gradually became absent-minded, looking to the side from time to time.
He finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned his gaze away condescendingly.
When he saw Ji Xia and Xu Ancheng chatting and looking very happy, he frowned, raised his hand and made a stop gesture, signaling Zhao Kuo not to speak first, and called out "Ancheng".
Xu Ancheng turned to look at him, but he didn't seem to be rushing over like he had before. Fu Su was slightly dissatisfied and said, "I want to drink Bordeaux sweet white wine, but they don't have it here."
After removing the mermaid filter, Xu Ancheng didn't have much feeling towards Fu Su. He spread his hands and said, "That's a pity."
After saying this, he ignored Fu Su, a completely different person from before. He turned back and said to Ji Xia, "As long as you want, that piece of land will of course belong to the Fu family. But, honey, I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you. Three days, three days of dating, and I will sign a contract with the Fu family."
Fu Su was already upset at being ignored, and now hearing Xu Ancheng's words, he was even more furious. He raised his voice, almost losing his composure, and said in a rebuke tone, "Ancheng, you clearly promised to give me that piece of land."
Xu Ancheng looked at him indifferently. "I was going to give it to my mermaid prince, but you are no longer one."
The exquisite Omega who had been standing aside and watching the fun saw Fu Su being humiliated. His arrogance disappeared in anger, and he let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Fu Su was handsome and had been pampered since childhood. With the exception of Fu Yuan, no Alpha disliked him. This was the first time he had been rejected by an Alpha and even ridiculed.
This was something his proud self-esteem absolutely could not tolerate.
His cold eyes were tinged with anger. He looked at Ji Xia, sneered, and said disdainfully, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You rely on your resemblance to me to flirt with other women everywhere."
Ji Xia originally had a good impression of Fu Su. The mermaid costume was really stunning.
But after hearing the tone and content of his words, her favorability dropped to zero. Ji Xia frowned angrily and retorted, "I'm discussing business with Mr. Xu, don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Kuo chimed in. "Talking business dressed like this?! What kind of business are we talking about?"
Fu Su sneered, "When you used pheromones to seduce Chen Chaofei and ruined his reputation, were you also talking about business?"
Xu Ancheng looked at Ji Xia with a hint of suspicion when he heard this. The incident with Chen Chaofei happened in his bar, but Fu Yuan had wiped the veil from his account, leaving him completely unaware of the matter. Several versions of the story were circulating in the community, and it was unclear whether they were true or not, but each one involved an Omega.
A sad look appeared on his face as he asked, "Xia Xia, is it true that you used pheromones to seduce Chen Chaofei?"
Chen Xi had been keeping an eye on Ji Xia's movements. After what happened last time, he didn't dare to be careless at all.
Realizing that something was not right with Ji Xia, and that Fu Su was also involved, his face turned ugly. Just as he was about to go over to help Ji Xia, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
He turned his head cautiously and met a pair of dark eyes. He was so frightened that he almost threw the glass in his hand.
Ji Xia didn't understand why Fu Su, such a beautiful person, could say such a confusing thing. He was infuriated by the words of the three people in front of him. The angrier he got, the more speechless he became. After holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered three words. "You're talking nonsense."
You can't blame him for having a limited vocabulary. The truth is, Ji Xia has been either working or on the way to work since he was a child. He rarely communicates with others, so naturally he is not as sharp-tongued as Fu Su.
Fu Su scoffed: "Did you use pheromones to seduce Chen Chaofei? I can tell by looking at the bite marks on your glands."
Zhao Kuo's lips curled up into a playful smile, and he agreed, "Go to the rest area over there and let me check it out. If there are no bite marks, you're innocent. If you don't dare, you must be guilty."
Xu Ancheng remained silent. Although an Omega's hair could hide the gland, some of it would always be exposed when he turned his head. He had just noticed that there were bite marks on Ji Xia's gland.
There was a look of disgust in his eyes.
Even if an Omega didn't expose his glands in public, just saying this was already very impolite. However, at this moment, the people present did not feel offended.
Their eyes were aggressive, some with hidden excitement, some with disdainful sarcasm. They stared at Ji Xia like wolves staring at prey that couldn't escape.
Ji Xia felt a chill down his spine from their looks. He simply couldn't handle such a situation. More and more gazes were cast at him, and Ji Xia felt as if he was surrounded by them, feeling suffocated.
He felt fear in his heart and took two steps back unconsciously. He was not paying attention and accidentally bumped into the chest of the person behind him.
