As the man in M City whose word was law, Chi Jingxuan was the undeniable center of attention wherever he appeared.
By the time he had Qin Yuji in his arms, the surrounding area was already filled with incredulous shrieks, accompanied by the sounds of phone cameras snapping photos and recording videos.
When Chi Jingxuan glanced around with an unfazed expression, several men dressed in black descended as if from nowhere, ordering those around to delete everything they had captured, leaving nothing behind.
Managers from Golden Age hurried out, and some even made calls to inform the big boss.
Amidst the glitter of the grand foyer, there was a flurry of activity.
Yet Chi Jingxuan seemed oblivious to the undercurrents around him, his gaze fixed on the petite woman in his arms, “Let’s go back…”
Before the two of them even turned around, they heard the hesitant voice of Han Yifan from behind, “Rainy…”
How did she know Young Master Chi?
Was she being kept by Young Master Chi?
Or was there some other relationship?
When did they meet?
One question after another flooded his mind, but Han Yifan dared not ask them out loud.
Torn, he managed a smile and stepped forward, extending his hand for a handshake, “Young Master Chi, hello, I’m Han Yifan from the Han Group.”
Though the Han family could be considered wealthy in M City, they paled in comparison to the Chi family, and many sought in vain just for a chance to meet Chi Jingxuan.
Though the day had not started well, Han Yifan believed that with his social skills, turning danger into safety was not an issue.
If he had the chance to establish connections with the Chi family, then the future development of the Han Group would be boundless.
With these thoughts, any embarrassment he felt was dissipated, and his smile grew more sincere, “The Han and Qin families have been close for generations.
Rainy and I grew up together.
Although some of the things I said earlier were a bit harsh, it was all for her benefit.
I hope Young Master Chi won’t misunderstand…”
The little lady in his arms frowned impatiently, and Chi Jingxuan’s displeasure deepened as he glanced at Han Yifan, “For her own good?”
Han Yifan smiled and nodded, but Chi Jingxuan’s response left no room for saving face, “Does my woman need you to worry about her welfare?”
His woman?
With just one sentence from Chi Jingxuan, not only Han Yifan and Qin Yuyan but also everyone else in the hall were shocked into silence.
When it came to M City’s most eligible bachelors, if Chi Jingxuan was ranked second, no one dared to claim the first spot.
Yet for many years, not a single woman had been publicly acknowledged by either the Chi family or Chi Jingxuan himself, not even in the gossip columns of magazines.
Now, here was Qin Yuji, a woman of unclear status, making her first appearance and being claim by Chi Jingxuan as “his woman,” akin to dropping a torpedo into a tranquil lake.
One could be sure that by the end of the night, every magazine and weekly would be dominated by this news.
Han Yifan was left speechless by the rebuke, while Qin Yuyan next to him was nearly driven mad with jealousy.
Why?
Why did she manage to attract such a distinguished and handsome man as Young Master Chi simply by debasing herself in a nightclub, while she, in every way her inferior, couldn’t even nab a man who was a patch on hers?
“Sis, don’t be angry.
Come on, let’s go home, okay?”
Qin Yuyan stepped forward once more.
Sensing the impatience of the lady in his arms, Chi Jingxuan picked up Qin Yuji and headed outside.
Qin Yuyan, feigning a pitiful demeanor, was ignored as if she were mere air.
Just as she tried to follow, several men in black approached blocking their path.
Watching the man and woman disappear from view, Qin Yuyan’s face turned pale with fury.
