Qin Yue noticed the burning gaze following her closely.
So what?
Unimportant trash.
No need to pay attention.
She followed the waiter into the private room.
The bustling private room fell silent instantly, and everyone stared at the extraordinary and refined person who had just arrived, their eyes flashing with the same kind of amazement.
Her clear, bright eyes looked over.
Some people are addicted to beauty.
"Yueyue, you're finally here!" The girl in the black skirt was the first to react, rushing towards Qin Yue and hugging her tightly.
Qin Yue took a half step back, barely managing to steady herself.
She embraced her friend Zhou Jiahe, and their eyes met those of the young man in the dimly lit corner.
The younger brother, as expected of a rising star with millions of fans, is undeniably handsome. When he looks at me with longing eyes, he truly resembles a little wolfhound who has tucked his claws away, as described in books.
This young man had multiple encounters with the female lead, and his admiration turned into affection. Later, he was saved by the female lead and became her devoted admirer.
Qin Xu hurriedly put away his phone.
Get up.
No longer the carefree and unrestrained person she was in front of others, she stood there awkwardly.
He concealed the emotions in his eyes, his voice gentle and his tone cautious: "Sister."
"Long time no see." She nodded slightly to her younger brother, her tone soft yet distant.
His attitude was far less familiar than his attitude towards Zhou Jiahe.
Qin Xu's heart sank, feeling an indescribable discomfort.
It wasn't like this before.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always put herself first, and he has always been her most beloved younger brother.
Over the past four years, he has regretted more than once that he should have confessed his feelings to her earlier.
She wouldn't go abroad to avoid me.
Their relationship would never have turned out this way.
"Qin Xu, are you serious? Before Sister Yue came, you checked your phone eight times a minute, and you couldn't sit still like you had sores on your butt. Now that you've seen Sister Yue, what's wrong? You can't even speak properly."
There were more than a dozen men and women present.
Some of them were on good terms with me before, and others I could only name.
They knew Qin Xu was a sister-obsessed person.
She was unaware of Qin Xu's feelings for her.
That's why they can make fun of each other without restraint.
Qin Xu panicked. He would always remember the shocked and bewildered look on her face when he confessed his feelings to her, as if he had said something outrageous, and she gave him the cold shoulder for the first time.
She said he was still young and didn't understand what love was; she only saw him as a younger brother.
He felt hurt and ran out of the house with red eyes.
A week can easily pass by when you're away from home.
When I returned home, I heard that she was going abroad.
He tried to persuade them to stay, but to no avail.
He was a sensitive person and feared she might overthink things and leave again, so he sternly rebuked the people who were egging him on: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Just then, the door to the private room opened and closed.
The jeering crowd quieted down considerably upon seeing who it was.
His gaze was surprised.
Didn't this person leave? How come they're back?
Xiao Jingchen glanced at Qin Yue without making a sound.
Out of respect for his status, everyone stood up to offer him a seat.
He made no attempt to be polite and took the seat reserved for Qin Yue.
The group exchanged glances, a fleeting awkwardness in their eyes.
Qin Xu began to regret his loose tongue.
The welcome banquet for Sister Yue felt like Qi Jingchen's show.
Xiao Jingchen.
His current name is Qi Jingchen.
He is the lost young master of the Qi family.
He was found two years ago and parachuted into the Wing Hang Group.
With his unique vision and swift methods, he gained a foothold in the Qi family.
At a young age, he already has a net worth of billions and is a well-known figure among the younger generation. Many people greet him politely as President Qi or Young Master Qi.
He was different from those rich kids who just lived off others.
We're not from the same world.
They had almost no personal relationship.
When we met, we exchanged a few polite words.
Today, when Qin Xu saw Qi Jingchen in the lobby, he remembered that the Qin family and the Qi family had business dealings, so he politely asked if they wanted to sit down together. To his surprise, the man actually nodded.
Qin Xu composed himself and introduced her identity to Qi Jingchen.
The man's gaze was fixed on Qin Yue, and he said slowly in a deep voice, "Miss Qin and I are old acquaintances."
An old acquaintance?
How could they possibly have any connection?
Amidst the shocked and puzzled gazes of the crowd, Qin Yue smiled calmly and said, "We met once many years ago, I never expected Mr. Xiao to still remember."
What was once an unforgettable experience became, in her words, a casual remark about a fleeting encounter.
She is still as ruthless as ever.
The man, who had finally managed to calm himself down, was ignited by a single sentence. His hands, resting on his knees, tightened, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his thin lips were pressed into a thin line.
Xiao?
Not many people know that Qi Jingchen's original surname was Xiao.
My sister calls him Mr. Xiao, so they must have known each other before she went abroad.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were off, Qin Yue asked in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Jiahe lowered her voice to explain Qi Jingchen's identity to her.
In a few words, he explained that this person was the heir of the Qi family.
Qi Jingchen appeared indifferent, but his body did stiffen.
She broke up with him because he was a poor guy.
Have you ever felt even a hint of regret?
She smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Qi. The rich young master who had been away from home has returned. If this were made into a TV series, it would have to be at least seventy or eighty episodes. Don't you think so?"
Everyone: "..."
As far as I remember, Sister Yue was very particular about the occasion when she spoke.
Seeing Qi Jingchen's expression change, he quickly laughed it off and changed the subject.
