Chapter 29
Ni Lan was completely unexpected that the woman in front of her was Li YaJu.
In her mind, Li YaJu was just a country bumpkin from poor family, who didn't know how to be a mistress, dress up, and was nothing in their circle of pampered noble ladies.
Privately, some even said that Li YaJu was deliberately arranged to marry An Yanyuan when she was young. After marrying into the An family, she had no status at all in the An family, just like a nanny.
Now at this moment, seeing Li YaJu's style, seeing her elegant and graceful appearance, seeing An Yanyuan actually prepared such a grand birthday banquet for her, thinking that no other woman in Qingcheng had ever had such treatment, Ni Lan was so jealous that her eyes turned green.
Not just her.
An Yanyuan's wife Liu Feng was the same.
She had always looked down on this Li YaJu all along.
She married into the An family not long ago, around the same time as when Li YaJu married in.
She never took Li YaJu seriously at all, opposed her everywhere, and even teamed up with her mother-in-law to embarrass her.
Li YaJu was also tolerant.
If it wasn't for An Yanyuan leaving all his family property to Li YaJu in the end, Li YaJu wouldn't have been able to hold her head high in the An family at all.
She had never expected that An Yanyuan would actually give such a birthday banquet to Li YaJu.
This birthday banquet, once spread out, should cause a sensation for Li YaJu in high society!
Especially,
after Li YaJu dressed up properly and looked so young and beautiful, her figure was still so well maintained.
The more she looked, the more jealous she felt.
Yet she had to restrain herself from showing it.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was watching the elegant dance between the two people.
Those who were jealous, admiring, or just watching the show.
Anyway, this birthday banquet was a hit in high society.
Her mother could finally hold her head high in the socialite circle.
An Nuan kept a smile as she watched her parents.
Beside her ear, she heard a familiar voice.
"I heard from Qin Jiang that you spent 30 million on a token of love for the girl you fancy..." It was Xiao Nanchen's voice, "I didn't expect you to like such a mature woman."
They were talking about the $30 million sapphire, now embedded in the crown on Li YaJu's head.
Qin Jiang, who was drinking champagne, spat it out directly.
The two people next to him seemed to be somewhat disgusted by Qin Jiang's behavior.
Qin Jiang quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and said gloatingly, "This is being stood up."
"Oh?" Xiao Nanchen had actually guessed it, he was just teasing on purpose.
"Isn't it obvious? Ye Jinghuai's affection was trampled on!" Qin Jiang turned his head and called the man next to him, "Right!"
Ye Jinghuai turned to look at Qin Jiang.
Then he just left.
"Hey..." Qin Jiang called him.
It was just a joke.
He got angry!
She had been influenced by this guy.
They were clearly just a nominal marriage.
Yet they were making things so ambiguous between them!
Ye Jinghuai's mouth curled up.
She could clearly feel his smile.
"I'll accept this reason." Ye Jinghuai said, his voice magnetic and melodious.
It really made people break out in goosebumps all over.
"Are you cold?" Ye Jinghuai asked.
An Nuan was startled.
It was because at this moment, Ye Jinghuai's hand was caressing her bare shoulders exposed by her dress.
The low-cut evening gown she wore tonight exposed her chest and above.
"Why am I so hot?" Without getting a reply from An Nuan, Ye Jinghuai said to himself.
As he spoke, he clearly licked An Nuan's petite earlobe again.
An Nuan gritted her teeth.
She pushed Ye Jinghuai hard.
Ye Jinghuai was pushed back by An Nuan by several steps.
Then he just looked at An Nuan with her red face and rapid breathing with appreciation.
"Can Young Master Ye be in heat anytime, anywhere?" An Nuan said through gritted teeth.
She should feel disgusted.
But instead...
He was indeed a master of love.
Ye Jinghuai's skills in flirting were simply impeccable.
It should be known.
She had lived two lifetimes, which added up to thirty-two years old.
And she was married.
Now she was actually seduced to the point of pounding heart by the twenty-five-year-old Ye Jinghuai.
She couldn't even remember when she last felt such a... throbbing in her heart.
Both her romance and marriage with Gu Yansheng in her previous life were just a long, steady process.
"No." Ye Jinghuai's mouth curled up, "It's just to tell Miss An what indecent is like."
"..." An Nuan was speechless.
She felt that this Ye Jinghuai man was very vengeful!
She took a deep breath and didn't want to get entangled with Ye Jinghuai.
After all, it was their home ground tonight, and she still had a lot to do and didn't want to waste time.
She got up and walked directly into the hall.
As she left, she heard that magnetic voice behind her again, "While my indecency is only aimed at Miss An."
