Chapter 263-264

Chapter 263: She Was Afraid She Would Succumb to the Urge to Kill Him if She Got Too Close ... Among the guests he’d invited, there wasn’t anyone of her age, so she must have been brought here by her parents. Han Yaotian sped up and stopped in front of her. He didn’t want to intimidate her, so he simply smiled and asked, “Whose daughter are you?” After he found out which family she was from, he could pay more attention to them during the banquet. Yun Xi raised her eyes and gazed at this lustful man who was trying to use his charm to seduce a young girl, and she sneered to herself. Compared to men like Mu Feichi or Chen Yichen, Han Yaotian’s appearance could only be regarded as ordinary. 　 　 Mu Feichi was authoritative and vigorous, much more handsome than Han Yaotian, as well as much more capable in every way. A man like Mu Feichi definitely had the means to make women go crazy for him. And Chen Yichen...? As well as his handsome appearance, there was a world of difference between Chen Yichen and Han Yaotian in terms of their cultivation and manners. Where in the world did Han Yaotian get enough confidence to believe that a young girl would be charmed by him? Of course, that wasn’t quite right either, because in her last life she had been the idiot who had been charmed by his gentleness. However, now in this life, after she had met high-quality elite men like Mu Feichi and Chen Yichen, she really could no longer stomach a mediocre man like him. “Mr. Han, is this your way of showing hospitality?” Stepping back, Yun Xi kept a safe distance from him, because she was afraid she would succumb to the urge to kill him if she got too close. No one could imagine how she was restraining herself at this moment. After hearing her answer, Han Yaotian felt a little bit stunned. Realizing that he had been too intrusive, he chuckled awkwardly as he apologized. “I’m sorry, I was being too intrusive. I just wanted to know whose daughter you are. None of the guests I invited were of your age.” He’d only invited his business partners on this collaboration project, as well as some investors and heads of companies interested in collaborating with them. For such a banquet, guests either brought their daughters, female secretaries, mistresses, or beautiful female companions. He was surprised that such a unique girl would appear here. He felt like a hunter who had encountered a rare prey. How could he possibly give up such a good opportunity? “The person who wants to work with you isn’t me. Mr. Han, do you have some ulterior motive for trying to flirt with me?” “...” Having his inner thoughts exposed so directly, Han Yaotian was dumbfounded and didn’t know how to react. It was the first time he’d ever met a young girl who could render him so speechless. The young girl’s dignified temperament and self-assurance made it impossible for him to associate her with those arrogant and brainless heiresses. Too bored to talk nonsense with him any further, Yun Xi turned and walked toward the banquet hall. Unwilling to give up so easily, Han Yaotian followed her. Yun Xi handed over the invitation and stepped into the banquet hall. Then she glanced around at all the guests. Because of her late arrival, the originally noisy banquet hall suddenly quieted down. They sized her up, judged her, then started to admire her... The men appeared mesmerized, and, when the women saw her dress, they all regarded her with eyes full of envy, desire, and resentment. She was wearing one of Ling Jing’s designs. Any woman with even a little bit of taste would be able to tell that right away. Among the crowd, Chen Yichen was talking to a group of investors standing around him. When the banquet hall became quiet, he turned his head. When he unexpectedly saw Yun Xi appear here, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Glancing at her, he was astonished by her sublime appearance. She looked like a piece of uncut jade. The dazzling light emitted after polishing the stone would definitely blind everyone’s eyes. Putting aside his glass of wine, he walked quickly through the crowd toward her. Mu Feichi stood by the window, and, with cold eyes, he gazed at the girl who had astonished the crowd as soon as she’d entered the scene. There was someone tailing behind her, Han Yaotian. ............. ..................................... .......................... Chapter 264: Insufferably Itchy Inside ... In fact, today, when he’d seen her getting dressed, he’d had only one thought, and that was to give up attending the banquet tonight. 　 　 He really didn’t want to bring his little rascal before so many people, let alone make them lust for her. He just wanted her all to himself. 　 　 Arousing quizzical glances from many curious guests around him, Chen Yichen quickly walked toward Yun Xi with a look of surprise on his face. 　 　 Yun Xi was about to walk over to Mu Feichi when Chen Yichen suddenly walked over. 　 　 “Yun Xi, what are you doing here?” 　 　 “Eldest son...” Yun Xi stopped. Suppressing her turmoil of emotions, she smiled. 　 　 “I came with Young Marshal Mu as his female companion. Well, to pay off my debt.” 　 　 This was what Mu Feichi had said in the car, probably because he was worried that she would fret over paying back the favor she owed him. 　 　 He had simply found an excuse she could not refute or refuse, and that was to be his female companion for the event. 　 　 Chen Yichen smiled. He couldn’t help but laugh at the endearing way she explained it to him. 　 　 “What debt do you owe him? Do you want me to help?” 　 　 “A humane debt. So I don’t need your help.” 　 　 Yun Xi waved her hand. Then she heard footsteps approaching from behind her. She frowned slightly when she heard Han Yaotian’s voice. 　 　 “Director Chen!” 　 　 “Here comes the nuisance.” 　 　 Upon seeing that her face fell when she heard Han Yaotian’s voice, Chen Yichen knew that her unhappy expression meant that something was wrong. 　 　 He looked straight at Han Yaotian, who was walking toward him, and greeted him aloofly, “Director Han!” 　 　 Han Yaotian had followed her the entire way, but he had never expected that this young girl was the guest of Chen Yichen. 　 　 “I’ve been wondering why I haven’t seen Director Han for such a long time. Where have you been?” 　 　 “I went out to smoke a cigarette.” Han Yaotian glanced at the fresh-faced girl standing behind Chen Yichen. 　 　 “Director Chen, this is...” 　 　 “This is the guest I invited here today, my friend, Yun Xi.” 　 　 “Yun Xi...” Han Yaotian narrowed his eyes slightly. 　 　 It suddenly occurred to him that this was the name of the girl that had appeared in the investigation report about Han Wanling being sent to the police station. 　 　 To be precise, this girl had sent that idiot Han Wanling to the police station. 　 　 He definitely didn’t expect this girl to have been able to deal with Han Wanling so cleverly at such a young age. 　 　 Speaking of which, he should thank her. 　 　 If she hadn’t blown things out of proportion, he wouldn’t be able to be sitting in the position of Director today. 　 　 It would also have been even more impossible for him to be in charge of this project. 　 　 Once this project was over, the Vice President of the Han Group or even the President of the Board of Directors would be at his fingertips. 　 　 “So it turns out that the young lady is from the Yun family. It’s an honor to meet you.” 　 　 Han Yaotian politely extended his hand toward Yun Xi, but Yun Xi didn’t even look at it. 　 　 Chen Yichen read her thoughts and saw she wasn’t willing to let Han Yaotian make physical contact with her, so he grabbed two glasses of champagne from the tray of a waiter who was passing. 　 　 He stuffed one glass into Han Yaotian’s extended hand and the other glass he handed to Yun Xi. 　 　 “Thank you!” Yun Xi glanced at Han Yaotian’s awkward smile and didn’t change her expression, while inside she was jeering. 　 　 Since he had some sense of cultivation, Han Yaotian didn’t embarrass her despite the awkwardness of the situation. 　 Holding the wine glass, he looked at Yun Xi meaningfully. 　 　 He was quite fascinated by this young girl who seemed so disdainful of him despite the fact that it was their first meeting. 　 　 “Yun Xi, this is Director Han of the Han Group, my business partner and the one holding the banquet.” 　 　 “I know.” Yun Xi nodded, not seeming to take Han Yaotian seriously at all. 　 　 Han Yaotian found her discourteous apathy toward him somewhat unbearable. 　 　 It made him feel insufferably itchy inside... 　 　 Men could always keenly perceive what was going on with other men. 　 　 Han Yaotian’s bold gaze at Yun Xi displeased Chen Yichen. 　 　 He extended his hand and wrapped it around Yun Xi’s shoulder. “Mr. Han, you should go and greet your guests while I introduce Yun Xi to some other people.”
