As for Gu Siqing... Nie Beini looked at Gu Siqing's aloof and extraordinary appearance and dignified and elegant temperament, a hint of amazement and appreciation flashing in her eyes.
Yes, this icy beauty is also to her liking.
As for Qin Xiao...
Nie Beini glared at him fiercely.
Although still very annoyed, for the sake of her precious Yingying and this pretty older sister... "Hmph!"
Nie Beini finally gave a soft hum, raised her chin, and put on a reluctant expression.
"Just for Wanying and this beautiful lady's sake!"
She emphasized it, and as her gaze swept over Qin Xiao, she added another sentence.
"I'll make you bleed... this time, you scoundrel!"
They finally agreed.
Qin Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately showed a perfectly timed grateful smile on his face.
"Thank you for your patronage, Miss Nie. Please feel free to choose any place you like; I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Thus, this farce, which was triggered by an accidental "molestation," ultimately ended with an impending "apology banquet."
Qin Xiao resignedly continued to act as a mobile clothes rack, hanging a dazzling array of shopping bags, and followed behind three women with very different styles, but equally beautiful, as they left the top-tier shopping mall.
Half an hour later, in a private room at a Michelin three-star restaurant in Beijing, known for its privacy and top-notch Cantonese cuisine.
The exquisite bone china tableware gleamed softly under the warm yellow light, while the air was filled with the subtle aroma of tea and the delicious scent of food.
Four people sat down at the rectangular mahogany dining table.
Su Wanying and Gu Siqing sat on either side of Qin Xiao, while Nie Beini chose to sit opposite Su Wanying, as far away from Qin Xiao as possible.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Nie Beini was clearly still holding a grudge, glancing at Qin Xiao out of the corner of her eye every now and then, her disdain undisguised.
Gu Siqing remained aloof as always, only occasionally picking up her teacup to take a sip, her gaze calmly fixed on the table, lost in thought.
Su Wanying tried her best to play the role of a mood maker, serving food to Nie Beini and whispering a few words to Gu Siqing, attempting to break the slightly awkward situation.
"Benny, try this bird's nest soup. It's their signature dish, good for beauty and health."
Su Wanying scooped up a spoonful of crystal-clear bird's nest and handed it to Nie Beini's bowl.
"And Siqing, this lobster ball is also very good."
Nie Beini snorted, but didn't refuse Su Wanying's kindness and started eating in small bites, though her eyes still glared at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao, on the other hand, appeared calm and unhurried, leisurely sipping his tea as if he hadn't noticed the sharp look coming from the other side.
He was actually analyzing things rapidly in his mind.
Nie Beini's appearance disrupted his original plans, but also provided a new opportunity.
The Nie family controls diplomacy and wields considerable international influence, which is a key factor in their later confrontation with Ye Chen and the Dragon King Palace behind him.
However, this Miss Nie's personality... seems to be a bit more complicated than described in the information.
Her unusual possessiveness toward Su Wanying and her aversion to men are particularly interesting.
He picked up his teacup, his gaze seemingly unintentionally sweeping over Nie Beini.
With blonde hair and blue eyes, striking and defined features, and a hot and eye-catching figure, she exuded the unique passion and exuberance of Westerners. However, the arrogance and hostility between her brows at this moment added a touch of untamed wildness to her.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Nie Beini keenly caught his gaze and immediately retorted without hesitation.
