Jiang Yihuan walked towards Ye Qi, leaving Bai Lingshu, who couldn't understand the meaning of her words, standing there.
*
Back home, her older brother hadn't come home from get off work yet, so Ye Qi went into the e-sports room.
Ye Zhixi indicated that she would not be coming back tonight.
Just as Ye Qi was having a great time—no, arguing heatedly with the person opposite her, defending her only remaining biological mother…
Completely unaware of the slight chill behind them.
Just as Ye Qi was about to retort, she suddenly lost control of her body.
Ye Qi looked at her legs dangling in the air and quickly realized that she had been lifted up again.
Ye Jingyan sighed and pulled her out. "I have a dinner party later and can't come home for dinner. Your sister told me she won't be back tonight."
"Oh, take care, brother."
Ye Jingyan: "..."
"You must come with me."
"Why?"
"You're all alone at home, so you're probably just playing games and not eating."
Ye Qi, whose thoughts had been exposed:: "..."
Ye Jingyan tossed Ye Qi into the car and took her to a famous image styling studio for a makeover, where she chose a white floral fairy-themed dress.
Immediately afterwards, his older brother shoved him back into the car, and they rushed off to the dinner party.
The car was parked on the lawn outside, and Ye Qi took Ye Jingyan's arm and went inside.
Ye Jingyan handed over the invitation, and after the gatekeeper checked its authenticity, he respectfully welcomed them into the banquet hall.
As soon as I entered, the melodious sound of a piano drifted in, and the whispers of the guests filled the entire hall, while the air conditioning blew out cool air without restraint.
The hall was bustling with activity, brightly lit, and filled with extravagance, as people mingled and drank.
Well-dressed invitees are diligently expanding their influence in secret, while smartly dressed waiters carry trays and move about the lavish feast.
Ye Jingyan whispered to Ye Qi, "I'll take you to meet some of the Ye family's business partners first."
Ye Qi nodded obediently.
As soon as she took a step, Ye Qi keenly sensed that something was wrong.
She looked up and saw a slender waitress about to brush past them and walk away, but somehow she was about to fall right next to them.
Upon seeing someone fall, Ye Jingyan's expression turned pale, and she instinctively stepped back.
Ye Qi grabbed the other person's arm with her other hand and grabbed the tray with her other hand, thus preventing the cups and plates from becoming a mess.
The waiter, barely managing to regain his footing, realized he had almost caused trouble and quickly thanked Ye Qi in a low voice, "Thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have been finished..."
Her voice was beautiful, like the melodious song of a nightingale.
But Ye Qi caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that her older brother silently took a dozen steps back when he saw the waiter's face.
Ye Qi: "..."
She could understand him taking a step back.
Taking a dozen or so steps back, is it really necessary to go to such an extreme?
Ye Qi had no choice but to turn around and look at the waiter. Although the waiter had her head down, she could faintly smell the floral scent of the shower gel on her body.
You're welcome. Just be careful next time.
"Okay! I understand!"
The other party quickly composed themselves and left.
Looking at the waiter's figure and combining it with her brother's reaction, Ye Qi roughly deduced that the waiter was He Nian.
The moment He Nian came out, she noticed He Nian's walking pattern.
When He Nian fell, there were no obstacles blocking her way.
There was no instance of tripping over one's own foot with the left.
But before she fell, it was obvious that her steps were blocked by something, as if she didn't see the wall and accidentally bumped into it.
After He Nian walked away, Ye Jingyan returned to his sister's side and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, sis, I didn't mean to distance myself from you."
Seeing the apologetic look on her older brother's face, Ye Qi shook her head. "I know, you're not wearing a raincoat right now, you only have this suit."
Ye Jingyan: "..."
It's better not to say anything.
It only hurts more.
Ye Jingyan rubbed his temples, recalling the scene of Ye Qi shielding him just now, and couldn't help but sigh, "I prepared so much, but you were the most reliable."
The previous 7.0 version was no match for the hastily released 8.0 version with Ye Qi.
After Ye Jingyan led Ye Qi through the process, Ye Qi's mouth was practically frozen from smiling before it ended.
Ye Jingyan told her to go eat something first to fill her stomach and expand her social circle.
Ye Qi nodded expressionlessly.
As soon as her older brother left, she quietly slipped to He Nian's side and used her magic to conceal herself. She didn't become invisible, but she made it difficult for people to notice her, and they treated her as if she were invisible.
He Nian stood in the corner, put down the tray, and took a break while the supervisor wasn't around.
He Nian is very beautiful; she looks just like the pure and innocent campus belle from her university days.
The women around He Nian were different from her.
The woman had a mature and sexy look, with heavy smoky makeup, and her curvaceous figure made her even more beautiful.
He Nian said dejectedly, "I recognized the gentleman from earlier; I almost spilled it on him."
Ye Qi casually picked up a small cake from the table next to her, and then, with a self-righteous and secretive air, began eavesdropping.
Upon hearing this, the woman next to He Nian chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Isn't this a good thing? You've splashed water on him so many times. In a novel, a domineering CEO would have fired you long ago, but he didn't. Why is that?"
"That means he likes you!"
After hearing this, He Nian shook her head solemnly, seriously denying her friend's statement: "I can tell that Mr. Ye has no feelings for me. Who would like someone who constantly gets their clothes dirty?"
