“Um… what… what’s going on?”
“Yin Heng and Qin Xiyuan???”
“Isn’t Yin Heng Yin Yuerong’s adopted son?”
Everyone was stupefied. No one expected Qin Xiyuan’s male companion today to be Yin Heng as the rumors about Qin Xiyuan and Si Yehan were burning furiously just several days ago.
What kind of plot development was this?
Nearly everyone reflexively turned to look at Si Yehan. It seemed like he was cheated on and abandoned by Eldest Miss.
When faced with everyone’s various odd gazes—astonished, sympathetic, etc.—Si Yehan remained frosty and snowy without any change in expression, as if he was in a different world.
A director standing next to him couldn’t help but strike up a conversation with Si Yehan. “Director Si, doesn’t Miss Qin like you? Why’s she with your brother? This is too much! But you don’t need to be too sad…”
The summit would convene tomorrow, so Si Yehan was swiftly mentally editing his proposed law one last time. He charitably extracted a trace of attention from that and glanced at the other director. “Sad?”
“Sigh, say no more! I get it, I get it! Don’t be too saddened!” The director expressed his understanding and didn’t pour any more salt on Si Yehan’s supposed wounds.
Regardless of who the man was, he wouldn’t feel good after having his woman stolen by his brother, especially a woman like this.
…
“Miss Qin, you’re here!”
“Goddess, you’re seriously too beautiful today!”
After Qin Xiyuan and Yin Heng entered the hall, everyone returned to their senses and greeted her, their probing gazes trailing to Yin Heng next to her.
At this moment, a director’s female companion who was close to Qin Xiyuan asked, “Yuanyuan, weren’t you with Director Si earlier? How come today…”
Qin Xiyuan glanced at Si Yehan and saw there wasn’t a ripple on his face or any of the jealousy and regret she wanted to see. Her expression darkened.
Qin Xiyuan’s voice wasn’t too loud or too quiet, but it was the perfect volume for everyone around her to hear her. “Director Si and I? Where did this rumor come from? Apologies, but Director Si and I aren’t familiar with each other, and we aren’t related in any capacity. I hope nobody will believe in these kinds of irresponsible words anymore.”
After saying that, Qin Xiyuan turned to Yin Heng next to her and sweetly said, “Let me introduce him to everyone—this is Yin Heng, my boyfriend!”
A gentle and doting expression immediately appeared on Yin Heng’s face. The series of shocked and jealous gazes following this announcement caused his vanity to be satisfied like never before.
After all these years, he finally completely defeated Si Yehan!!!
Qin Xiyuan actually straightforwardly denied she liked Si Yehan and directly announced her relationship with Yin Heng…
For a man, this was the same as slapping him in public.
When the socialite heard this, she looked embarrassed and hastily went along with what Qin Xiyuan said. “Oh, so it was all a rumor! Who would wildly spread something like this? It’s too disrespectful!”
She didn’t forget to add flatteringly, “So you’re dating Yin Heng right now, huh! You’re truly a handsome pair! You’re too matching!”
All the other people started congratulating the couple. The men who were previously admiring Si Yehan for being liked by Eldest Miss Qin all looked at Si Yehan in a schadenfreude manner.
Yin Yuerong slowly stopped next to Si Yehan. “How does it feel? If you express your regret now, perhaps it wouldn’t be too late for you to properly beg for Miss Qin’s forgiveness.”
Si Yehan looked aloof. “Why does Director Yin think my taste would be so bad that I’d take a liking to Qin Xiyuan?”
Yin Yuerong was nearly infuriated to death.
He was disdainful of the daughter of the Arbitration Council’s vice president but liked that wild girl. How could he say that so boldly?!
