Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss
Chapter 22: The Unruly Prince of Beijing vs. the Pretty and Sober Miss Bai Yueguang
"The gift still has to be given."
Wen Ling murmured.
"Then you should give yourself to me. This is the only gift I will accept."
Wen Ling's ears turned red again, and she couldn't continue the conversation that day.
Wen Ling glared at him and hung up the phone. Before she hung up, she seemed to hear him laugh.
Buried in the quilt, Wen Ling touched her face and found that it was not red.

Xie Qi Yan's birthday party was on Thursday. Wen Ling happened to have no classes in the afternoon, so she went back to the Wen family. Chen Zhiru found a stylist to style them. The dresses were still arranged by her, but when she was about to change into the dress, Xie Qi Yan brought a dress.
It was a gorgeous aqua blue. Wen Ling thought Chen Zhiru would be unhappy, since she clearly still had some prejudice against Xie Qiyan. However, she simply picked up the dress, took a look at it, and handed it to Wen Ling to put on.
"This dress suits you better than the one I chose."
Wen Wanwan, who was holding the purple dress prepared by Chen Zhiru, felt unbalanced again. The one in Wen Ling's hand was much more gorgeous than hers, including the one Chen Zhiru originally prepared for Wen Ling, which she thought was also more beautiful than the one in her hand.
Chen Zhiru absolutely did not favor one over the other when choosing dresses for the two sisters, it was just that each of them had a different temperament. Wen Wanwan never thought that wearing Wen Ling's dress would be a kind of imitation in some sense.
The Xie family has a manor that is specially used to hold banquets to entertain guests. Wen Ling was taken out of the car by Chen Zhiru. Standing in the huge courtyard, Wen Ling had a preliminary understanding of the Xie family's luxury.
Wen Wanwan also looked around curiously. During these days since returning to the Wen family, she has already adapted to the circle of wealthy families to a certain extent. The Wen family itself is a wealthy family that is beyond the reach of others. However, standing here now, her cognition is still refreshed.
The mother, daughter and her two daughters followed Wen Ming into the hall. In the center of the crowd, an old man with gray hair and elegant clothes was leaning on a cane. His rosy face showed that he was still in good health. On his right, Lin Su was standing on the side with Xie Qichuan's hand in his. Wen Ling recognized Xie Qichuan based on his memory.
To the left of the old man stood a girl whom Wen Ling did not recognize. Wen Ling followed Wen Ming to the side of the Xie family's old man and listened to the greetings of the elders. Wen Ling stood calmly beside Chen Zhiru.
However, Xie Qichuan and Lin Su looked at their younger brother's sweetheart from time to time.
Lin Su's eyes lit up and she leaned close to Xie Qichuan's ear.
"What a beautiful girl."
Xie Qichuan remained silent, but he was very curious about the girl who could subdue his own brother.
After saying hello, Wen Ming went to the men's place to discuss some business matters. Chen Zhiru took her two daughters to socialize. Jiang Wan broke away from her father and followed Wen Ling.
whispered.
"The Xie family truly deserves to be called a family with a deep and profound background. Look at those people sitting there with their glasses of wine. They are all bigwigs. If they just stomp their feet, the domestic business model will change accordingly."
Wen Ling followed her gaze and saw Wen Ming among them, smiling and looking very warm. This meant that the person he was chatting with was also a business tycoon. She also saw Han Xingzhi.
“Not only that, bigwigs from the political world are here too.”
Jiang Wan explained the banquet to Wen Ling bit by bit. The guests at the banquet were all big shots. Apart from the Xie family, no one else had the presence to invite them.
"The Xie family is truly generous. Look at the desserts they serve to their guests. They're all from Reno. You know how hard it is to order them, and they're limited each month. And look at the ones at this banquet. I've never seen so many."
Wen Ling nodded. Reno's desserts need to be reserved in advance, and it is not certain that they can be reserved.
Jiang Wan pulled Wen Ling aside and chatted. It was her first time attending the Xie family's banquet. The Jiang family's business had grown bigger and bigger in the past few years, and only this year were they qualified to squeeze into this top circle.
Wen Wanwan, who was on the other side of Chen Zhiru, was also listening to Jiang Wan's introduction. The more she listened, the more unbalanced she felt. So, is it possible that Wen Ling would marry into the Xie family in the future?
She could never raise her head in front of Wen Ling, right?
Wen Ling followed Chen Zhiru to meet many people, but never saw the protagonist of this banquet, Xie Qiyan.
Instead, a servant came down from the second floor and walked towards her.
"Miss Wen, the young master asks you to go to the second floor."
Wen Ling looked at Chen Zhiru and saw her nod, and Wen Ling responded.
The attendant saw Jiang Wan and continued.
"Miss Jiang can come with us. The second floor is where the young master entertains his friends. There are many recreational facilities there. I believe Miss Jiang will like them too."
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, and he took Wen Ling's hand again after letting go of it.
Wen Wanwan was a little unhappy when she saw that the servant did not invite her. Wasn't her social status higher than Jiang Wan's?
"Sister, can I go with you?"
Wen Wanwan tightened her grip on Chen Zhiru's hand and stared at Wen Ling.
The servant spoke before Wen Ling could.
"Sorry, our young master only invited Miss Wen Ling."
When these words were spoken, Jiang Wan was happy and Wen Wanwan was furious.
Since only Wen Ling was invited, what about Jiang Wan? This obvious difference in treatment made Wen Wanwan lose her smile. This was clearly a slap in her face.
Chen Zhiru clapped her hands.
"Okay, just stay with me."
There are not many banquets of this level, so she still hopes that Wen Wanwan will follow her to meet more people and truly integrate into this circle as soon as possible.
Wen Ling and Jiang Wan followed the servants to the second floor. As they walked up the stairs, Jiang Wan leaned close to Wen Ling's ear and smiled.
"Everyone who works at the Xie family is truly a shrewd person."
Wen Ling lowered her eyes and said nothing.
The second floor was a completely different scene from the first. It was filled with young faces, likely the sons of wealthy families. At a glance, some were playing cards, some were playing billiards, and some were playing video games. It was a true gathering of young people.
Not far away, Xie Qiyan, dressed in black casual clothes, was holding a wine glass, his arm lazily resting on the railing as he looked at the scene on the first floor.
Song Shi'an was also standing by with a wine glass in his hand, looking at the first floor and smiling.
"Thank you, Prince, for your generosity. Those high-ranking officials who are usually elusive are actually here."
Xie Qiyan's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the red wine in his mouth, not even bothering to open his eyelids, and sneered.
"It's all about the old man's face. Only interests can drive these people."
He has no interest in these people.
"Hey, Sister Wen Ling is here."
Hearing Wen Ling's name, Xie Qi Yan stood up straight and looked at Wen Ling.
The corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled freely.
He knew that this dress would look great on her, like a fairy who was detached from the mundane world, and would be totally out of place at this banquet filled with vulgar things like fame, fortune and money.
Xie Qiyan's gaze made Wen Ling feel uneasy, her steps unsteady. Her inner panic made her expression even more tense. She already had a noble and cold face, a cold and aloof one that made people afraid to approach her, and now she looked even colder.
Xie Qi Yan was amused and laughed out loud.
He was the only one who noticed Wen Ling's discomfort.
