Xia Weiwei was furious. “Xia Yangyang, who are you to look down on me!”

She raised her hand to strike Xia Yangyang. For the entire night, she had been reining her frustration in and Xia Yangyang’s appearance had added oil to the flames.

Xia Yangyang grabbed Xia Weiwei’s hand agilely. “Xia Weiwei, don’t use force when you run out of words. Have you ever succeeded in hitting me before?”

Xia Weiwei was shaking due to anger. “You b*tch…”

“Miss Xia, you’re here.” A crisp, deep voice interrupted behind them.

Xia Yangyang and Xia Weiwei turned at the same time, and their eyes landed on Gu Qichen, who stood two feet away from them.

When did Gu Qichen arrive?

Xia Weiwei reacted in time and pulled her hand away. She spoke daintily, “Sister, what are you doing? My hand hurts.”

Xia Yangyang was speechless…

Gu Qichen had strolled towards them slowly.

His gaze landed on Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei’s heart was pounding excitedly as the man before her was the dream man of all women. When his gaze met hers, she felt dazed as though she had just entered a foggy dream. He was so noble and refined and out of reach from mortals. He was a man who was born for everyone to look up to.

“Young Master Gu…” Xia Weiwei had barely opened her mouth when her cheeks turned crimson.

She hadn’t thought that Gu Qichen would know her and that he would approach her. Delight and excitement streaked across her.

Gu Qichen stopped before the both of them and he had a faint, mysterious smile. His gaze was upon Xia Weiwei as he said, “Miss Xia, you look ravishing and stunning today. Do I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?”

Xia Weiwei only felt that happiness was too sudden. Gu Qichen was asking her for a dance? What did that mean?

Rumors were circulating rapidly that Gu Shengyuan’s birthday celebration was actually a matchmaking session for Gu Qichen in disguise. If Gu Qichen were to set his eyes on any lady and to lead her to the opening dance, it would be equivalent to him proclaiming his interest…

Now that Gu Qichen had invited her for a dance, did that mean that she had been chosen?

Thrill and excitement blossomed like bubbles inside of Xia Weiwei. She extended her hand eagerly and replied, “I’m willing! I’m willing!”

Gu Qichen smirked at her response before turning a second later. He held Xia Yangyang’s hand tenderly and even kissed the knuckles. “Miss Xia, please follow me.”

Xia Yangyang was startled as she had assumed that Gu Qichen was talking to Xia Weiwei. After all, his gaze had been peeled on Xia Weiwei all this time, without sparing a look at her.

Due to the abrupt plot twist, Xia Yangyang couldn’t react in time. She could only allow her stiff body to be led away from the balcony by Gu Qichen…

Xia Weiwei stood rooted to the ground in shock for several seconds. She clenched her fists angrily as she bit her lips. Waves of shame and humiliation washed over her.

Gu Qichen had chosen Xia Yangyang!

Gu Qichen had deliberately wanted her to have the wrong idea and when she had fallen for his trip, she would be humiliated?

Perhaps he had overheard their conversation and had been put off by her.

Blood was trickling from her lips and Xia Weiwei was trembling due to anger. This was all Xia Yangyang’s fault. She had always looked frail and nonchalant, as though she didn’t want anything in the world.

She must have seen Gu Qichen coming and had put on a show. She didn’t expect her to be so cunning!

At the thought of that, Xia Weiwei was bursting with hatred. She wanted to shred Xia Yangyang to pieces!
