Lan Yuer stamped her foot in anger, yet she was unable to do anything about Xia Yanxin.
She could only suppress her fury and leave sullenly.
Just as Xia Yanxin reached a corner, clapping sounds came from the opposite direction, and a man in a silver suit gradually emerged from the shadows.
“Indeed a woman of integrity, I like that!” Ye Huan’s face bore an extremely gentle smile.
Xia Yanxin’s expression shifted slightly, the encounter at the Heaven-Earth Gala had left a deep impression on her, and from the media, she also knew that because of the exposure, the cruise ship had been seized and related personnel had been punished.
In a sense, she had fiercely outsmarted Ye Huan, and someone like him was unlikely to let it go easily, so she needed to stay as far away from him as possible.
She turned to run, but he blocked her way with the swiftest speed, “I can save you from here!”
Those simple words made Xia Yanxin stop in her tracks, looking at him dubiously, “Are you sure you’re not going to kill me?”
Ye Huan shrugged, looking around, “This isn’t a good place to talk!”
Xia Yanxin nodded, as many servants were moving about…
Ten minutes later, she followed Ye Huan into a secluded room.
Previously at the Heaven-Earth Gala, she hadn’t had the chance to clearly see his face, but now, under the light and observing him from such a close distance, she realized that the man was quite handsome.
He possessed fine features, long eyebrows, and eyes, fair skin, and the silver suit added an extraordinarily charming and somewhat feminine aura to him.
Long Yutian’s handsomeness was domineering and bold, while Ye Huan’s was subtle and soft.
If he grew out his hair, he could compete with ancient beauties.
“Why do you run away upon seeing me?” Ye Huan wore an innocuous smile.
“Uh…
you know, at the Heaven-Earth Gala, you killed someone so casually, it was downright psychopathic.
If I didn’t run, that would mean there’s something wrong with my brain.”
Ye Huan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I’m afraid that’s not the case!
Although the Heaven-Earth Gala has been held for many years, I have never killed anyone!”
Xia Yanxin sneered, “I saw it with my own eyes, could it still be false?
You savagely beat a girl and threw her into the sea!”
“What you saw was merely an illusion.
That girl was a spy, infiltrating the cruise to create havoc.
As the legal representative of the cruise, I had to ensure the safety of the guests.
You see, we businessmen believe in ‘harmony brings wealth’, I wouldn’t casually trouble myself.” Ye Huan spoke earnestly.
Xia Yanxin shrugged, “The person is already dead, now you can say whatever you want.”
“So, if I let you see her alive again, will you believe me?”
Ye Huan looked sincerely earnest, and Xia Yanxin felt slightly swayed, “I caused you a great loss, are you really going to let me go?”
“That’s the real reason you’ve been avoiding me.
You feel guilty because you did something wrong, so you’ve been living in unease and fear, afraid of my retribution.
That’s why you dare not approach me.”
“You…
fine, you say you want to save me, what are your conditions?”
“The condition is…
from now on you’ll be employed by me, working for me!
You’re bold yet meticulous, bright and clever, and you’re fearless in the face of danger.
That’s exactly the kind of talent I, Ye Huan, am lacking.
I believe that my Ye Corporation can offer you much more generous terms than Midian Media ever could.”
“Don’t you still have that Mary?”
“Ha ha ha, once you join my company, I’ll have her work under you, at your disposal!
It’ll be the perfect chance for you to vent your anger.”
“Really?
And how do you plan on taking me out of here?”
Although Xia Yanxin didn’t fully trust Ye Huan’s words, at this moment, as long as she could be taken away, she was more than willing to take a stab at it.
“That’s my business, just come with me!” Ye Huan was full of confidence.
The party was in full swing.
Such galas were no more than gatherings of wealthy young masters seeking thrills, and every so often, Long Yutian would hold one.
However, today he was somewhat distracted…
The one who claimed to be the leader of the Youthful Jade Maiden Sect, Lan Yuer, was kneeling between his legs, seductively flaunting her charm…
“Young Master Long, do you find today’s dress pretty?” She intentionally pushed her chest out prominently, rubbing against his long legs, her heavily made-up face gently brushing against his particular parts, well aware of her seductive skills that few men could resist.
Long Yutian’s handsome face was shadowed with an unreadable expression, his deep eyes kept glancing in the direction of a certain room…
For some reason, at this moment, the slender figure of another woman suddenly crossed his mind.
Does this feel good?” Lan Yuer wound herself around his legs like a snake, her voice coquettishly pleasing him.
She was a clever woman.
She understood that pleasing Young Master Long could bring her benefits far more substantial than acting for a decade.
What’s more, Young Master Long was strikingly handsome, even better looking than the top international male models.
Even if he didn’t offer a penny, she was willing to throw herself at him.
Regrettably, at this moment, Young Master Long seemed distracted.
No matter how hard she tried, he was not in the mood.
“Monica, bring Mandara to me!”
Long Yutian could no longer tolerate Lan Yuer’s gaping red mouth and kicked her away with disgust, elegantly straightening out his high-end trousers that she had disarranged.
Amidst the laughter of the young elites, Lan Yuer got up very awkwardly, her dress torn open to reveal her bare flesh, which was extremely embarrassing.
Yet, she thought she had angered Young Master Long and stood to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Monica took a step forward, then stopped immediately, “Master, she has arrived!”
Long Yutian looked up, and there came a man and a woman walking toward them.
The man, clad in a silver-gray suit and black bow tie, was the elegant rich merchant’s son, Ye Huan, and the petite and dainty darling by his side was his Mandara, Xia Yanxin.
Xia Yanxin, arm in arm with Ye Huan, was all smiles, chatting away, her beaming face clearly reflecting her splendid mood.
A cloud of gloom quickly spread across Long Yutian’s handsome face.
He had never known she could look so beautiful when she smiled.
No, she had never smiled so happily in front of him.
And now, her radiant, beautiful smile was blossoming for another man.
Long Yutian could sit still no longer, a strong surge of rage boiling up within him.
