Chapter 2: Pure? I don’t think so
The man had deep eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and superior bone structure, without a single flaw to be found.
His narrow, cold, and sharp gaze fell on Cen Wan's face in the middle of the room.
He only stayed there for a second before looking away.
As if she was an irrelevant stranger.
Ji Yuanchen quickly asked, "Brother Yi, did I wake you up?"
Shen Yixiao sat up, his long legs casually stretched out under his dark trousers, and said unhappily, "I didn't fall asleep!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Cen Wan came back to her senses and realized that she had subconsciously clenched her fingers, and a slight pain came from the palm of her hand.
She had never thought that she would see Shen Yixiao again in such a situation. Her brain seemed to become dull, and she moved her lips, but could not utter a word.
Everyone else turned their attention to Shen Yixiao and started to make jokes and talk to him.
"Master Xiao has been partying every night, so why is he here to catch up on some sleep?"
"I heard that the innocent little flower who has become popular recently is chasing after Master Xiao? I look so pitiful, but Master Xiao is really not moved at all?"
Shen Yixiao put his arms on the sofa, looking carefree, and said nonchalantly: "Pure? I don't think so."
"Shit! I thought I had a chance!"
Ji Yuanchen scoffed at him: "Even if Brother Yi doesn't like it, it's not your turn!"
"Fuck! Ji Yuanchen, at least give me some face."
Amidst laughter and scolding, everyone started joking about everything, regardless of the content.
Only Cen Wan stood quietly in the middle of the room, being ignored by everyone.
A boy with dyed red hair noticed she was still there and said, "Beautiful girl, are you still here? But it's a pity, Mr. Qin is the dream of thousands of girls now, you have to queue up!"
He looked at Cen Wan, and suddenly his eyes turned: "Why don't you take a look at me?"
Cen Wan finally found a moment to speak. She looked at Qin Yanxiu with a serious expression, "Mr. Qin, I really don't mean anything else. There really is something I need in that collection you bought. Can you part with it? We can discuss the terms."
Before Qin Yanxiu could speak, Shen Yixiao said coldly, "Can anyone enter this room now?"
"Who brought her here?"
The tone was obviously unhappy.
Ji Yuanchen quickly explained: "Brother Yi, I brought her here. She said she wanted to find A Yan, and I thought she knew A Yan!"
"If you believe what others say, will you be sold out one day and have to help them count the money?"
Shen Yixiao raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at Cen Wan with a cold and indifferent look, with a hint of sarcasm: "You dare to bring a woman of unknown origin here casually."
Ji Yuanchen was bewildered. He had never said anything when other people brought women to parties before. Why was he so angry today?
Is it because of waking up in a bad mood?
Cen Wan's heart sank. She didn't know whether he really didn't recognize her or simply wanted to embarrass her.
But even if you recognize him, as a qualified ex, you should treat him as a stranger.
It’s just that my chest feels like it’s filled with a sponge that’s soaked up water, expanding little by little. My heart feels stuffy and blocked, and I can hardly breathe.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment, and everyone looked at each other.
Red Hair looked at Cen Wan with a look of regret on his face: "Beauty, our Master Xiao is unhappy. You should leave now. We can meet alone later."
"Chen..." Cen Wan only managed a single syllable before pausing, her sanity returning. She pursed her lips and spoke softly, "I'm so sorry to bother you."
She looked at Qin Yanxiu again: "Mr. Qin, I just want to buy the stone from you. Can you consider it?"
Qin Yanxiu keenly sensed a hint of something unusual in the air. His gaze flickered between Shen Yixiao and Cen Wan, finally settling on Cen Wan's face. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered something.
He smiled at Cen Wan and said, "If you want me to think about it, fine."
Cen Wan didn't say anything, she knew there was a second half to the sentence.
Qin Yanxiu nodded his chin towards the wine on the table: "After you finish that glass, I'll think about it."
On the table stood a glass filled with the strongest kind of wine.
Cen Wan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table.
In the transparent glass, the amber liquid ripples slightly and sways on the wall of the glass, and the spicy and pungent smell of alcohol enters the nose.
In the corner, Shen Yixiao was still sitting lazily, not even glancing at her.
Cen Wan raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yanxiu: "Mr. Qin, this glass of wine is my sincerity."
After saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, cleanly and neatly.
She is no longer the teetotaler she once was. The man who once held her in his arms will no longer protect her.
But, she brought this upon herself.
The spicy liquid choked her and made her cough. She bent down, her face suddenly turned red, and physiological tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
Qin Yanxiu looked at Shen Yixiao. He lowered his eyes, with an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Quite pretentious.
Qin Yanxiu reached out and patted the sofa beside him: "Come and sit down."
Cen Wan hesitated for a few seconds, glanced at Shen Yixiao beside her, gritted her teeth, and sat down.
Ji Yuanchen looked at Qin Yanxiu, then at Shen Yixiao. Even though he was slow-witted, he could sense something unusual in the atmosphere.
Brother Yi obviously doesn't like this woman, but A Yan keeps her.
I don't understand.
Cen Wan sat upright on the sofa, but her whole body was tense and uncomfortable. She could clearly feel the gaze from the side of her falling on her, which was extremely oppressive.
She moved her fingertips slightly and spoke to Qin Yanxiu: "Young Master Qin..."
Qin Yanxiu: "Are you really here to discuss business with me? You're not my fan, or are you trying to find another way?"
Cen Wan: "I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry, so I don't know much about you."
Qin Yanxiu raised his eyebrows: "Your attitude when asking for help is really unique."
"I……"
As Cen Wan was about to speak, Qin Yanxiu raised his hand and interrupted her.
"In this match today, our Brother Yi is the most important. If you can make him happy today, I will consider what you said."
Cen Wan froze, and subconsciously looked at Shen Yixiao.
He still looked carefree and relaxed, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was sharp, cold, and even mocking.
Cen Wan's heart suddenly sank. The mixed feeling made her chest feel sore and uncomfortable, and she felt a sharp pain.
Can she still make him happy?
It would probably just disgust him more.
Let’s just forget it.
However, she had already met Qin Yanxiu, and this was the only step left.
She can't act on impulse.
She took a deep breath, slowly stood up, picked up the wine beside her, and walked step by step to Shen Yixiao.
