In the banquet hall, well-dressed men and women were toasting each other.
Su Yiran also came. Unlike the other two roommates who were dressed casually, he tucked his white shirt into his trousers, outlining his slender waist, and wore a simple suit jacket on the outside.
The people at the banquet could see his student spirit at a glance, and he couldn't hide it. He couldn't be given a full set of high-end suits like An Xing, so he could only try his best to highlight his youthfulness when dressing up.
This outfit was not impolite, and the waiters and other guests who passed by did not show contempt for Su Yiran. Some people even smiled slightly to show their friendliness after meeting his eyes.
Su Yiran took a glass of champagne from the waiter, shook it in his hand, and looked at Zhou Bin and Chen Fang with a condescending look in his eyes. These two people came to attend a banquet of the upper class, but they didn't even know how to dress properly and socialize with others. It was really rude.
——If Zhou Bin and Chen Fang knew that Su Yiran was thinking these things when he looked at them, they would probably roll their eyes and quickly move away. At the same time, they must sigh that it is really impossible to have deep friendships with different values, and each will think that the other is mentally retarded.
Su Yiran didn't waste time on his two roommates, and turned around to slowly walk around the hall. Because of his delicate and gentle appearance, he smiled at everyone he saw, so even if Su Yiran got close to someone, no one would chase him away.
"…That's the real young master of the An family. I heard his name is An Rong, a top student at S University."
"He's a finance major, but he's more like an An family member than the previous young master."
"Ha, the previous young master was more like a member of the Shen family, playing with art... Now that the real young master is back, I don't know how the An family plans to deal with the fake young master."
"Needless to say, he will definitely go back to his parents' place."
"It seems that both his biological parents are gone. I heard from a friend that the An family is planning to adopt that fake young master as their adopted son!"
Su Yiran, who was pretending to look at his phone but actually eavesdropping, tightened his hands, and the jealousy in his heart burned like a flame.
Even though he had heard from An Hao that the An family intended to adopt An Xing as their son, when he actually heard others discussing this matter, Su Yiran still felt the dark jealousy gnawing at his heart like an ant.
Why is An Xing so lucky? Even if he is not a member of the An family, he can be adopted by the An family because of a mistaken baby!
"Oh, so what? This adopted son has no legal effect at all!"
Those who gathered together to chat whispered.
"Besides, this real young master grew up in a poor family. As the saying goes, children of poor families grow up early. Could he be as stupid as the fake young master and tolerate the fake one being adopted as the An family's son, threatening his position?"
These people didn't really think Ning Rong was excellent, or that An Xing was not up to the standard, they just wanted the An family to be in chaos. After all, in the business world, only when one family falls can others rush in to share the profits.
It was difficult to continue the conversation. The few people exchanged glances and saw the same look of anticipation in each other's eyes.
Now that the An family has recognized the real young master, I'm afraid chaos is not far away!
Su Yiran also saw the looks in those people's eyes, but he was not as optimistic as them. He had met An Rong before, and he knew how good this real young master was to An Xing.
Moreover, although he was unwilling to admit it, Su Yiran also knew that An Xing... knew how to please others and how to please others. He could really confuse the real young master and let that person be his backer. Su Yiran was not in a good mood, and his eyes wandered around the hall, trying to find An Xing's figure.
He wanted to see what kind of situation An Xing was in in the An family now.
*
Ballroom corner.
"Brother Shen?"
An Xing called out tentatively, a little confused.
Why did Fei Si, and his brother Chen, freeze up immediately after hearing him say that he wanted to cancel the engagement?
Did he bring it up too early and disrupt Brother Shen's arrangements? An Xing thought anxiously.
At this moment, Lu Tianchen felt numb all over.
He is not stupid, and stupid people cannot be presidents. It's just that he has never exercised his love IQ, so he is too unfamiliar with it. Almost the moment he heard what the little fool said, Lu Tianchen understood.
——The little fool was not slow, he just didn’t receive his signal at all.
That vague feeling of uneasiness was not because of his premonition being wrong, nor was it the unreality that his years of anticipation were about to come true, but rather it was a real, ominous premonition.
Unable to hear his answer, the young man opened his almond-shaped eyes wide, with a little temper and grievance in his light brown eyes. Lu Tianchen was so angry that he almost laughed.
This little idiot made him happy for so many days in vain. He clearly didn't understand his feelings, but he could still act like a spoiled child so confidently. Where did he get the confidence from...
Oh, it's all his fault, the man thought expressionlessly.
How could he bear to hang up and beat the little idiot he liked even if he wanted to?
"It's okay. I'm just... a little surprised."
An Xing tilted her head, feeling that the man's words were popping out one by one, or squeezed out from the roots of teeth.
"You never mentioned it before. I just didn't expect that you would suddenly bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement."
As a boss, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. You have to find the pit where you fell. Lu Tianchen quickly became strong, and even asked back calmly, trying to figure out why the little fool gave him such a big "surprise" on such a day.
An Xing didn't know why, but he just felt relieved. He raised his head and confidently expressed his thoughts.
"Because if you want to arrange a marriage, Brother Chen, I am not the heir of the An family, so I am not a qualified marriage partner. If we still arrange a marriage, it will cost you a lot of money, so you need to cancel the engagement!"
Oh, little idiot, this logic makes sense... No way!
"When did I say I wanted to get married?"
The man didn't have a gloomy face, but An Xing could feel that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.
He blinked blankly and spoke even quieter.
"No, isn't it? Then, then why didn't you mention the engagement for a while? Isn't it because our family affairs are not settled yet and it's not easy to bring it up? I thought, Brother Chen, you wanted to cancel the engagement after our family affairs are settled..."
Oh, this matter is his fault, Lu Tianchen thought expressionlessly, and it makes a lot of sense.
He was silent for a while, thinking that he couldn't be misled by the little fool's logic. This little fool's focus was always on marriage, and he had to defeat magic with magic.
"So have you ever thought about this," the man stared at the boy, "If I am a marriage alliance, why did I choose you?"
"."
An Xing felt offended and couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and look up with confidence.
"Of course it's because we have a good relationship! If I were to find someone for a marriage alliance, it would definitely be you, Brother Chen!"
Lu Tianchen: ...Lu Tianchen: "Have you ever thought that I want to get engaged to you because I like you?"
He was too stupid to think that this little idiot could figure it out on his own and come to his senses - that was impossible. He really had to play it straight.
Look, isn't the effect good now? The little fool's eyes are wide open.
"I don't need to sacrifice my marriage to secure my position as heir. I want to be engaged to you because I like you, want to be with you forever, and want to make the commitment of marriage with you."
"Besides, I only want to be with you, no one else, and I can't change to anyone else."
The man was tall and straight, a head taller than An Xing. Whenever he approached to talk, he would always bow his head slightly, and would always take the initiative to bow his head to approach. The lights in the banquet hall were very bright, and the man's eyelashes cast a small shadow on his lower eyelid.
It makes those eyes look even deeper and darker.
The young man tilted his head back, his almond-shaped eyes widened as he stared blankly at the man. He was so shocked that he couldn't believe it, and his mind was a mess.
An Xing had never thought of this possibility, never thought that Lu Tianchen was... in love with him.
Who is Lu Tianchen? He is the nightmare of the entire Tangcheng Young Master Circle! No one of his generation can match Lu Tianchen's excellence, and all of them are suppressed.
As for An Xing himself, it's not that he is belittling himself, but apart from his artistic talent, he has neither a business acumen nor a stunning beauty. Now he has even lost his status as the only son of the An family.
It’s not that Lu Tianchen should fall in love with a fairy, but...it should be an outstanding talent who can stand on equal footing with Lu Tianchen, right?
Besides, he and Lu Tianchen grew up together, and men have never expressed this kind of love. So, how could he know that Brother Chen's love for him...actually wanted to have a relationship!
There was no need for the man to say anything more. The boy's psychological activities were already very rich, and they were all displayed through the window of his soul.
Lu Tianchen: ...
You are worthy of being the one who can shirk responsibility so righteously, you little fool.
The man sighed, and at this moment he finally understood that he had overestimated the boy's love IQ... and perhaps also overestimated his own.
Lu Tianchen opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw the boy in front of him finally react. His fur slowly stood up and he looked at him warily with his ears trembling. He felt a little helpless and a little amused, and at the same time realized something.
In fact, he shouldn't have hesitated for so long. Just like now, even if he said it, it wouldn't matter.
In fact, if he didn't speak out, An Xing would never realize his feelings. If he did, there would still be a chance of rescue.
As for not even being able to be friends after the confession... Well, if the little fool dares to hide from him, he will threaten the little fool with the cat with flower arms, the man thought viciously.
"Stars, come quickly!"
An Xing was startled, turned around, and saw An Zhaoming waving at him from a distance. Ning Rong was standing behind An Zhaoming, looking at him with a bit of doubt.
It turned out that An Zhaoming had already announced Ning Rong's identity and started to take the boys to recognize people. The family had discussed in advance that in order to prevent An Xing from being looked down upon in the future, he would also follow this step.
Lu Tianchen saw the young man in front of him look at him a few times, then slowly moved backwards, and after reaching what he thought was a safe distance, he ran towards An Zhaoming and An Rong.
Looking at the boy's cowardly back, Lu Tianchen felt inexplicably amused and relieved. He pulled the corners of his mouth, raised his head and drank a glass of champagne, then put the empty glass on the table and slowly walked towards the crowd.
An Zhaoming was chatting with others in front. An Rong took a step back, looked at the absent-minded boy for a few times, and lowered his voice.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"ah?"
"What did Lu Tianchen say to you?"
The boy frowned, thinking that Lu Tianchen was very ignorant! This was an important day for the little fool. What on earth did he say to destroy the little fool's remaining IQ?
"..."
The boy was in a daze for a while, then slowly, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a silly smile. On his fair and delicate face, a pink cloud gradually appeared, looking like delicious cotton candy, and the sweet taste shone from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Brother, Brother Chen just said that he likes me!"
An Rong: ...
