"Shaoqing, what are you looking at?" Anya raised her voice a little, a hint of displeasure in her voice.
Pei Shaoqing came back to his senses and looked away quickly. He said in an indifferent tone, "Oh, it's nothing. I saw the deputy chief of the Meng Family."
"The deputy chief of Monta?" Anjou cast another glance in that direction.
Although she wasn't close with Xiao Jingyi, she knew that there was such a famous person in Meng Tower. Available... The corner of her lips curled up as she stared at Pei Shaoqing, "I think the one you were paying attention to wasn't him, but the person beside him, An Xiashan?"
Pei Shaoqing, whose worry had been exposed, showed a trace of anger on his face and retorted, "How could that be? What are you thinking?"
Anjou glared at him and said nothing.
To speak of the upper class circle, it was because they were too tired. One had to stand up straight and sit properly. He could not show any anger on his face, much less a hearty laugh. He could only wear a faint smile, gentle and peaceful. Even eating, drinking, etc all had to be slow. What did they call it?
Elegant! Elegance? Hehe … An Qian inwardly laughed coldly to herself. To put it bluntly, it was just a bunch of mortals wearing beautiful clothes and putting on an act.
The one who was truly graceful, of course, was the man beside her.
He was so spotless and handsome that no one in the world could match him.
For some reason, An Qian was secretly delighted in her heart. She then smiled.
Xiao Jingyi asked her: "What are you laughing about?"
An Qian's face reddened. Thinking back to her little thoughts just now, she hurriedly replied, "It's nothing."
Xiao Jingyi carefully asked: "Do you not like this kind of situation?"
"Ugh …" "I'm fine."
"Hur hur, I can tell." Xiao Jingyi didn't refute her words and only lightly said: "Actually, I don't really like it either."
There was even a trace of helplessness in his words.
Eh? What was going on? Normally, he would look like he was able to prop up the heavens and stand on the ground. Why did he suddenly reveal a sorrowful expression today? Before she could ask, someone from the crowd called to her.
"Shallow …" As she turned her head, Anya pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it's really you. Qian Chao, why are you here?"
This sounded really uncomfortable. What do you mean, why are you here? Could it be that she wasn't worthy of being here?
"Hello, my name is Xiao Jingyi. Qian Chao is my companion today." Xiao Jingyi explained as he helped her get out of her predicament.
An Qian gave him a grateful glance, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
However, when Pei Shaoqing saw that expression, he felt embarrassed. It was because this expression was something that only he had seen in the past. At the end of the day, his heart was truly uncomfortable.
Anya's expression remained free and easy. She spoke with surprise in her voice, "Ya, so you're the renowned vice-president of Meng Ta. Haha, Director Xiao, hello, it's our first time meeting each other."
After saying that, she gracefully extended her hand towards Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi also had a reserved expression. With a faint smile on his face, he reached out his hand and lightly shook it as he said: "I don't deserve it."
The Vice-President of Meng Tower, Xiao Jingyi? How did he end up in a relationship with An Qian? No wonder An Qing's attitude towards him had greatly changed, and could that sapphire necklace be …
Pei Shaoqing held back his displeasure and stretched out his hand to greet Xiao Jingyi, "Director Xiao, hello. I am Pei Shaoqing."
Xiao Jingyi also casually greeted him and then doubtfully asked Miss An, "Miss An, this is …"
A smile blossomed on her face as she shyly put her hand on Pei Shaoqing's wrist. She said sweetly, "This is my fiancé."
"Oh, congratulations in advance."
"Thank you."
These two people chatted nonchalantly, but An Qian felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. Pei Shaoqing's gaze had been fixed on her the entire time.
His eyes contained contempt, inquiry, ridicule, disdain, regret, and unwillingness. He had everything he needed.
Why was he looking at her with a look as if she had betrayed him?
Unknowingly, his palms began to sweat. Why was she so uneasy in her heart? She hadn't done anything wrong. Besides, shouldn't he be the one feeling uneasy? He was clearly the one who took the lead. Just who gave him the right to throw her into the arms of a beautiful woman while accusing her of being disloyal?
"Qian Qian, what happened to you?" Xiao Jingyi carefully discovered that An Qian's expression wasn't very good.
"Ugh …" "It's nothing. I might be a little tired." It was exhaustion.
Xiao Jingyi nodded and said: "I'll accompany you to rest for a while."
"Yes." An Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
"Goodbye." Xiao Jingyi nodded to the two beside him and helped An Xiashuang away.
The silhouette had already walked far away. An Ying stared coldly at Pei Shaoqing and said, "He has already walked far away. What are you still looking at?"
Pei Shaoqing was lost in thought and explained: "He is your sister after all. I just want to see if Xiao Jingyi is good or bad."
"What a generous man you are."
Pei Shaoqing sighed, "You're thinking too much."
"I'm warning you, the next time you meet her, stop staring at her like you've never seen a woman in your life. "Useless!"
"Hey, you …"
Just as Pei Shaoqing was about to say something, Anya snorted and turned around to leave.
Pei Shaoqing cast another deep glance in the direction that An Shiqing had left. But in the end, he still managed to keep up with the footsteps of the beautiful woman.
Xiao Jingyi was truly attentive. He brought An Qian away from the crowd and brought her out onto the balcony. Separated by a thick curtain, most of the elegant music in the room had also been covered. Coupled with the endless starry sky and the cool breeze blowing by, it was a different story.
"Who were those two people just now?" Xiao Jingyi asked.
An Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, Big Brother Xiao is also clear about this. There is no need for you to ask any further."
Xiao Jingyi blinked his eyes and then said: "I know, that woman is your elder sister."
An Qian lightly nodded her head. "It's just that …" "She is the daughter of An family, and I am only a fake."
Although the girl's pretty face didn't show any emotions, the tone of her voice already told him that she was feeling lonely.
"Sometimes, a real product might not be more valuable than a fake one."
"Hmm?" An Qian looked at him.
Xiao Jingyi smiled and said: "Miss An seems to be very familiar with this kind of situation. As a lady of a noble family, there are times when you really need to deal with these interactions. But she gives me a feeling of familiarity that I am not as transparent and sincere as she is before. "
An Qian's lips curled into a smile as her mood improved by quite a bit. "Thank you."
"As for that man just now …" She should probably be a shallow ex-boyfriend. "
An Qian's eyes suddenly widened!
