“Qin Ge?”
“How is Senior Sister Huanhuan’s bastard brother being so intimate with Xiaojin?”
“Weren’t they just boss and employee?”
“Do a boss and an employee really need to walk pressed up against each other?”
Chen Yuan stared at the inseparably close Qin Ge and Lin Xiaojin, and a sudden, unprovoked fury surged in his chest.
If he didn’t know Lin Xiaojin, it might’ve been one thing.
If Lin Xiaojin hadn’t grown into such a graceful young woman, he wouldn’t have cared.
But the current Lin Xiaojin was stunning—beautiful enough that she didn’t lose out to any of his seven Senior Sisters.
And he and Lin Xiaojin had been childhood sweethearts, growing up together.
It was like a green lotus he had been waiting to bloom for years—only for someone else to pluck it the moment it ripened.
How could he not be furious?!
Just then, waves of amazed exclamations rose from the entrance of the villa.
Chen Yuan quickly turned his head to look.
With just one glance, he was dazzled by Jiang Yingxue as she stepped inside.
A wine-red, off-shoulder, floor-length gown.
Curves that were full and exquisite.
One bit more would be too much, one bit less would be too little.
Enchanting and elegant, in perfect golden proportion.
Compared to Jiang Yingxue, the crowd of socialites inside the villa looked like mass-produced, incomplete products Nüwa had casually tossed out when creating humanity.
While Jiang Yingxue was the finest masterpiece Nüwa had personally sculpted with utmost care!
“There’s actually such a breathtaking woman in this world!”
“Even Senior Sister Huanhuan falls short compared to her!”
“Only my beautiful master—who wears a veil all year round—could slightly surpass her in temperament!”
Looking at Jiang Yingxue’s appearance, Chen Yuan felt his mouth go dry.
His seven Senior Sisters on the mountain were beauties he could see but never touch.
Even after coming down the mountain, he didn’t dare to disturb them too much.
But Jiang Yingxue was different!
She was just an urban beauty from Yunhai City.
Even if he got involved with her, his master wouldn’t know—much less blame him!
Thinking this, Chen Yuan hurried forward and stopped in front of Jiang Yingxue, introducing himself proactively, “Miss Jiang, hello. I’m a bodyguard specially hired by the Mu Family. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“A bodyguard?”
“A mere bodyguard dares to act presumptuous in front of Miss Jiang?”
“…”
Some of the men at the banquet immediately mocked Chen Yuan with cold sarcasm.
Chen Yuan didn’t take it to heart.
In his eyes, these rich men were as fragile as ants.
He could crush them with a single finger.
He simply stared at Jiang Yingxue and smiled. “Miss Jiang, are you interested in Qin Ge?”
Qin Ge?
Originally, Jiang Yingxue had little interest and could even be said to be weighed down with worries. But when she heard Chen Yuan mention that name, she frowned and walked with him to the side.
She picked up a glass of champagne and took a light sip, then asked with knitted brows, “What do you know about Qin Ge?”
Chen Yuan sneered. “Miss Jiang, do you know that your boyfriend is actually a pervert?”
Since Qin Ge dared to put his hands on Chen Yuan’s childhood sweetheart, then Chen Yuan wouldn’t mind returning the favor.
If Qin Ge dared to steal his childhood sweetheart, then why couldn’t Chen Yuan pry open Qin Ge’s corner?
Jiang Yingxue frowned even harder. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile. “I’m not talking nonsense. I have proof. Just a few days ago, Qin Ge used a dining knife to cut off one of his younger brother’s palms in the Qin Family, and he also beat his younger sister until her leg bones suffered a comminuted fracture.”
“These are all facts. Even if the Qin Family didn’t deliberately publicize it, you can verify it anytime by asking any servant from the Qin Family.”
Jiang Yingxue looked at Chen Yuan unhappily. “Why are you telling me this?”
Chen Yuan smiled gently. “I’m only trying to tell Miss Jiang that Qin Ge is not a good match. You should break up as soon as possible. And while I’m at it, I’d like to make friends with you.”
Jiang Yingxue narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Her mind had already been tormented to exhaustion by the word “break up.”
And now Chen Yuan was still pouring oil on the fire.
Splash—!
Jiang Yingxue raised her hand and threw the entire contents of her glass onto Chen Yuan’s face, shouting angrily, “Whether I break up with Qin Ge or not, what does it have to do with you?!”
The banquet’s attention immediately swept toward them.
Everyone looked at Chen Yuan—the overreaching little bodyguard—with eyes full of mockery.
How proud was Jiang Yingxue?
The number one beauty of Yunhai City—how could she be that easy to pursue?
All these years, only Qin Ge had managed to win her over.
What kind of rotten fish crawled out from nowhere like Chen Yuan, thinking he could get a taste of her fragrance?
Chen Yuan wiped the champagne off his face, suppressing his raging fury as much as possible, and forced out a stiff smile. “Miss Jiang, I just want to be friends with you. Just normal friends.”
Splash—!
Jiang Yingxue lifted another glass of champagne and poured it over him again.
Her brows were tightly knitted.
For no reason, Qin Ge’s earlier words echoed in her mind—could there really be pure friendship between a man and a woman? The source of this chapter is g.com.
Gritting her teeth, she emphasized again to Chen Yuan, “Put away those filthy thoughts of yours. There’s no such thing as normal friendship between men and women. And look at what kind of trash you are?!”
“Disgustingly vile!”
After cursing Chen Yuan out, Jiang Yingxue lifted her snow-white neck proudly like a noble white swan, walked around him, and left without looking back.
Only Chen Yuan remained where he stood, teeth clenched tightly. Staring at Jiang Yingxue’s smooth, beautiful back, he squeezed his fist and swore silently, “Jiang Yingxue, I’ll make you regret it!”
…
Tsk!
Watching the show from a corner, Qin Ge was secretly amazed.
Jiang Yingxue might be terrible at being a person…
But she was truly talented at cursing.
Beautifully done!
Qin Ge turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaojin, who was also peeking along with him, and said with amusement, “Your childhood neighbor has guts. He actually dared to hit on Jiang Yingxue in public.”
“Could it be because I stole his childhood sweetheart, so he’s trying to get revenge by deliberately prying at the corner?”
A group of young heirs from powerful Magic city families chimed in from behind, “CEO Qin makes perfect sense.”
“That little bodyguard didn’t even piss into a mirror to see what he looks like.”
“Someone like him dares to pry at CEO Qin’s corner?”
The people watching along with Qin Ge were the direct heirs of several prominent Magic city families.
Their families had spent a fortune gathering bits of information about Qin Ge, so they hurriedly arranged for these heirs to attend the cocktail banquet and build connections with him.
Qin Ge said with a straight face, “Strictly speaking, Jiang Yingxue and I already broke up. She doesn’t count as my corner anymore.”
The Magic city heirs nodded one after another. “CEO Qin is right.”
“Jiang Yingxue isn’t worthy of you anyway.”
“Only a fairy like Miss Lin can be a perfect match for CEO Qin.”
Lin Xiaojin didn’t know who these shameless flatterers really were. She only blushed and refuted them, “That’s not true! I’m just CEO Qin’s female companion.”
Qin Ge held Lin Xiaojin’s small hand. “But the first time you’re my female companion, someone’s already trying to snatch you away from me. In the future, I’ll have to keep a tighter hold on you.”
Lin Xiaojin’s face burned red.
With so many people present, she didn’t struggle free.
She was afraid it would embarrass CEO Qin.
But inside, she sighed.
After watching everything from start to finish with CEO Qin, how could Lin Xiaojin not understand Chen Yuan’s intentions?
She wasn’t stupid.
In fact, she was quite smart.
With clear disappointment, she muttered, “I haven’t seen Chen Yuan for many years. I really didn’t expect him to become like this.”
