Chapter 23
However, Li Qingchen and Han Yuying hadn't yet noticed that many people in the banquet hall were looking at them with very ambiguous expressions.
Li Nan held a glass of red wine, leaned against the corner, and had a wicked smile on his lips.
Young Master Wang walked over and raised his glass to him, saying, "Brother, this is a great spot!"
Li Nan smiled and clinked glasses with him, "So we have to reserve our spots first."
Mr. Wang glanced at Li Qingchen, who was basking in the limelight among the crowd, and clicked his tongue, "Your brother is just lucky."
Otherwise, given Li Qingchen's temper and naive personality, he would have been tormented by others long ago.
Li Nan swallowed the red wine in his mouth, his eyes deep and serious. "Who says it isn't?"
However, people can't always be so lucky.
Li Qingchen had no idea what kind of terrifying person he had offended!
The two men, both of whom disliked Li Qingchen, exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly, eagerly anticipating the show to come.
They didn't have to wait long when a commotion suddenly broke out at the door.
Who is it?
Madam Li, maintaining the airs of a noblewoman from a wealthy family, spoke with displeasure.
It's as if it's saying someone has no manners.
No one agreed with her; everyone looked toward the door.
Li Nan and Xiao Wang's eyes lit up: They're here!
When Qin Zhan led Wen Xin into the banquet hall, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Those who knew Wen Xin and those who didn't were all sizing her up.
Among them, Li Qingchen, Han Yuying, and Madam Li had the most vivid expressions.
The three of them could be said to be the people who looked down on Wen Xin the most in the past, and also the creators of her tragedy in her previous life.
"Wen Xin, what are you doing here?"
Li Qingchen's excited questioning echoed in the suddenly quiet banquet hall.
Shouldn't she be here?
What gives her the right?
In his memory, Wen Xin was always fragile and humble, with no temper and left to his whims, like many ordinary girls, thin and petty.
But now?
Before me, she wore an elegant red cheongsam, her skin as white as snow, her features exquisite, and she was incomparably beautiful. Every smile and frown exuded elegance, like a... princess.
How is that possible?
The feeling of losing control completely clouded Li Qingchen's already limited mind, and he glared at her fiercely.
Wen Xin glanced at the idiot male protagonist of the sadomasochistic novel with her beautiful eyes, her expression unchanging. She felt that the word "idiot" was written all over him.
If the Heavenly Dao hadn't blinded her soul fragments, how could she have abandoned Qin Zhan to like this idiot?
Feeling the man beside her tense like a bowstring, his suppressed anger about to explode, she ignored Li Qingchen, turned to look at him, and said in a soft voice with undisguised dependence, "Brother."
The dark, intense killing intent in Qin Zhan's eyes faded, and he asked her softly, "What's wrong?"
The girl obediently shook her head.
When Li Qingchen saw that she ignored him and was exchanging flirtatious glances with the man beside her, his face turned extremely ugly, like a husband who had caught his wife cheating on him.
He didn't see Han Yuying's stiff expression and walked straight towards Wen Xin.
"I'm calling you, didn't you hear me?"
Qin Zhan shielded Wen Xin behind him, his expression cold and fierce, his aura terrifying. "Get out!"
Li Qingchen was stunned by his icy killing intent, and his mind finally cleared up.
He frowned as he looked at Qin Zhan. "What is Young Master Qin doing?"
Even though Qin Zhan is a very important partner for him in the future, what's wrong with him getting entangled with his girlfriend right now?
Is this the behavior of the dignified heir of the Qin family?
Qin Zhan's cold gaze swept over Li Nan, who was watching the show from the side, "Drag your brainless brother away."
Li Nan: "..."
No, boss, I'm just a passerby watching the show, why are you giving me more screen time?
But how could he refuse when the big spender asked?
However, before he could even take a step...
Li Qingchen was publicly scolded for being brainless, and his face twisted with anger. "Qin Zhan, don't be so arrogant!"
Qin Zhan sneered, reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him to the ground. "Useless!"
"Ah Chen!"
Madam Li and Han Yuying rushed over to help Li Qingchen up, but dared not speak out against Qin Zhan.
They knew all too well how formidable this man was.
The Wen family also quickly stepped in to mediate.
Wen Xin helplessly pulled Qin Zhan, who was still about to hit someone, "Brother!"
The girl's soft voice made Qin Zhan stiffen. Meeting her clear, bright eyes, he pursed his thin lips and said, "He said I was arrogant. I just wanted to show him what real arrogance is."
If this were in Beijing, would Li Qingchen still think he could get back on his feet?
Everyone: "..."
So you hit someone and are now acting all wronged?
Wen Xin chuckled and scolded him, "Don't let irrelevant people delay Grandma Wen's charity auction."
Qin Zhan's eyes instantly lit up with an astonishing light.
Not only did she not blame him for hitting Li Qingchen, she also said that Li Qingchen was an unrelated person!
In fact, she meant that once they got to other places, he could beat up Li Qingchen at will?
Qin Zhan admitted that there was an element of gambling involved in him punching Li Qingchen.
Even though he believed she was truly willing to let go of the past, he wasn't sure if she still had feelings for Li Qingchen.
Qin Zhan was actually very afraid that once she saw Li Qingchen, her feelings for him would rekindle, and she would rush to his side again, abandoning him.
If she had just protected Li Qingchen...
Qin Zhan might really go crazy and tear Li Qingchen to shreds!
Fortunately, she was on his side.
Qin Zhan touched her fair and delicate face, "Okay, I'll do whatever Ah Xin says."
The onlookers: "..."
How can someone change their expression so quickly?
If I hadn't just witnessed the fierce intensity with which he beat Li Qingchen, and now looked at his gentle and tender demeanor, I would never have believed that this was the cunning, arrogant, and tyrannical Crown Prince of the Qin family.
The contrast is too great!
No wonder the elite circles in Beijing say that the girl raised in the Qin family is Qin's precious darling.
It truly lives up to its reputation!
However, they couldn't understand why Qin Dashao's darling would suddenly fall for Li Qingchen more than two years ago, and even follow him to H City, where she lived as a poor orphan for so long.
The flavor is a bit unusual!
Wen Xin: Uh...
Who understands the tragedy of being forced to be the female lead in a tragic novel?
But now it seems she's come to her senses!
Everyone looked at Li Qingchen and Madam Li with schadenfreude, wondering if they knew what they had missed.
Foolish, so foolish!
Li Qingchen and his wife were still completely bewildered, especially Li Qingchen, who glared at Wen Xin and said, "Do you know what you're saying?"
