"Don't be modest," Qin Yuheng's smile deepened, his eyes curved into a charming arc, "Opportunities always come to those who are prepared and know how to seize them."
He glanced meaningfully in Qin Yuzheng's direction, lowering his voice with a hint of intimacy that only the two of them could hear.
"My brother looks cold, but actually..." He paused deliberately, leaving room for imagination, and then considerately changed the subject.
"By the way, Miss Ruan looks stunning today. This champagne-colored dress really suits your temperament. Is it a high-end couture piece from L? Their theme this season is 'Morning Glow,' and you really bring out the charm in it."
He spoke eloquently, from the design concepts of haute couture brands, to the details of jewelry matching, to the impact of light and shadow on makeup, his erudition and taste revealed in his words.
His precise and unique insights into fashion instantly made the wealthy businessmen around Ruan Weiwei, who only knew how to spend money, look like unsophisticated people.
Ruan Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was overwhelmed by the feeling of being seriously appreciated and "understood" by this top nobleman. The look she gave Qin Yuheng was full of admiration and flattery.
"Second Young Master Qin really has... great taste!" She praised sincerely, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
"Just call me Yuheng." Qin Yuheng's smile became more gentle and harmless, his eyes as pure as the melting snow in early spring.
"The lighting here is a bit strong. Miss Ruan has such good skin, be careful not to get sunburned."
There was pure concern in his tone.
Ruan Weiwei felt a current running through her body from her shoulders, and her heart was beating like a drum.
This Second Young Master Qin…is not only of noble status and stunning beauty, but also incredibly gentle, considerate, and knowledgeable! Compared to the cold, unapproachable Qin Yuzheng, he's a world apart!
Almost instantly, she shifted her focus from Qin Yuzheng to the nobleman with the charming smile in front of her.
"Yu...Brother Yuheng, you are so considerate." She lowered her head shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
The smile in Qin Yuheng's eyes deepened, but that smile did not reach the deepest part of his eyes. A hint of cold mockery was like an undercurrent under the water, disappearing in an instant.
He leaned slightly to the side, subtly blocking some of the inquiring or jealous glances that might come towards Ruan Weiwei, creating a unique protective circle between the two of them.
"It's a piece of cake. The auction is about to start. Where is Miss Ruan?"
"Over there." Ruan Weiwei pointed to a relatively far back location, her tone somewhat lost.
"Oh?" Qin Yuheng raised his eyebrows, revealing a childish expression of dissatisfaction.
"How did the organizer arrange it? How could a beautiful lady like Miss Ruan sit so far back? The view is so bad."
He turned around and waved to a waiter not far away very naturally, with an elegant gesture and an unquestionable sense of command.
The waiter immediately came forward respectfully.
"Move Miss Ruan Weiwei's seat to the front, right at..." He glanced across the VIP area and pointed precisely at an empty seat that was neither too far nor too close to Qin Yuzheng's table, with an excellent view.
"There, just say I arranged it."
The waiter said without hesitation: "Yes, Second Young Master Qin."
Ruan Weiwei was stunned, the huge surprise made her almost speechless.
At such a top-level charity dinner, seating arrangement represents status.
With just one sentence, Qin Yuheng had elevated her from a marginal figure to the center of attention! This was truly a tremendous honor!
"This... I feel embarrassed. I'm so sorry to trouble you, Brother Yuheng!" She was so excited that her voice was a little distorted.
"It's a small matter." Qin Yuheng waved his hand, his smile still gentle, as if he was just giving a small gift.
"If I can help you see more clearly and take photos of your favorite collections, then this evening won't be a waste."
He leaned forward slightly, leaning close to her ear, and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, with a hint of subtle temptation, "Enjoy tonight, Miss Ruan. You deserve the best."
The warm breath brushed past her earlobe, and Ruan Weiwei trembled all over, her cheeks burning, and she felt dizzy.
She looked at Qin Yuheng's handsome face so close to her, and his affectionate eyes, and felt as if she had fallen into the most beautiful dream.
She instantly forgot about Qin Yuzheng and the aloof rulers. The gentle and considerate Qin Er Shao, who was so powerful and "special" to her, was the ultimate goal she had always dreamed of!
She was led to the new seat by the waiter in a daze, looking back every few steps, her eyes glued to Qin Yuheng, full of gratitude, admiration and undisguised love.
Qin Yuheng stood there, watching her leave, the warm smile on his face slowly faded.
He raised his hand and took a disinfectant wipe from the tray of the waiter next to him, slowly and carefully wiping every finger that had just brushed against Ruan Weiwei's shoulder and supported her wrist.
The movements were elegant, yet revealed a chilling disgust.
After wiping, he threw the wipes into the trash can accurately, as if he was throwing away some dirty garbage.
Then he turned around, put on that impeccable, gentle, courteous and perfect smile again on his face, and walked calmly towards the VIP seat where Qin Yuzheng was.
He sat down in the empty seat next to Qin Yuzheng, his posture relaxed but with a hint of dependence, completely different from the image of the noble young man who was in control of everything in front of Ruan Weiwei just now.
"Brother." He called out, his voice clear and with a hint of intimacy at the end.
Qin Yuzheng was looking down at the auction catalog in his hand. Upon hearing this, he just made an almost imperceptible "hmm" sound without looking up. It seemed that he had no interest in the wonderful performance that had just happened under his nose.
