Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 113: Unable to defeat the childhood sweetheart who fell from the sky (3)

A wedding anniversary banquet is being held in the century-old castle.

The banquet was decorated lavishly and extravagantly, with guests toasting each other and chatting happily.

The party had already begun when there was another noise at the door.

Mu Zhou's heart moved when he saw the person coming. He put down the champagne and walked to his aunt, waiting obediently.

But after a moment, a tall man came over and expressed his blessing to the host of the banquet.

The man has a straight nose and deep eye sockets, and his profile alone exudes a charming aura.

He did not dress as formally as the other guests, but wore only a thin black shirt and trousers, a low-key style.

The man stood straight and had perfect etiquette, looking like a true gentleman. However, when he occasionally raised his eyes, one could sense a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

A kind of contempt for everyone.

Aunt whispered a few words to Mu Zhou.

"This man is Xie Chuanyan, a Chinese national and the current president of the Chamber of Commerce. He's involved in various industries and has enormous influence, so he shouldn't be provoked. He's already showing respect by coming to Bella and her husband's party."

Mu Zhou nodded and listened.

No wonder he was so calm despite being so late, and the host still greeted him warmly.

I'm just sorry, aunt, she has to provoke this man.

*

The aunt brought Mu Zhou to Xie Chuanyan and exchanged a few simple greetings.

"Hello, Mr. Xie. I'm Emilia from the Suohui Group. Thank you for your help with the robbery of our company's goods a while ago."

Aunt Mu Zhou runs a trading company. Half a month ago, a batch of goods was robbed at the port. The thief was a well-known mafia. Being targeted, she could only accept her bad luck.

But the value of that batch of goods was too high, so my aunt had to bite the bullet and go through several rounds of transactions to get the goods with Xie Chuanyan. In the end, the mafia returned the goods for Xie Chuanyan's sake.

My aunt was very grateful for this and drank three cups in a row regardless of what Xie Chuanyan said.

Xie Chuanyan seemed a little nonchalant about his aunt's thanks. He just took a sip of the champagne, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, obviously not taking it seriously.

Mu Zhou didn't say a word the whole time. He stood obediently behind his aunt, but his peach blossom eyes were staring straight at Xie Chuanyan.

Xie Chuanyan noticed her gaze and looked towards her.

Mu Zhou immediately dodged in panic, looked around, and finally lowered his head to turn a ring on his little finger.

After a few seconds, she quietly looked up again, only to find that the other person was still looking at her.

She seemed to be frightened, her eyes widened a little, then she looked away stiffly, pretending nothing had happened.

Xie Chuanyan looked at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be making eight hundred fake moves in one second, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked her up and down.

It is obvious that the little girl is a typical daughter of a wealthy family. She is well-behaved, sensible, ladylike, and also very timid.

It's also boring.

He looked away indifferently.

Mu Zhou didn't care, but after he looked away, he boldly turned his gaze back to him.

Xie Chuanyan lowered his eyes and looked at the wine glass in his hand, but he also noticed the little girl's bold gaze.

He curled the corners of his lips, his dark eyes dim and unclear.

After Mu Zhou left his aunt, he looked at Xu Linlang who was not far away.

Xu Linlang did not go to find Xie Chuanyan immediately, but wandered around for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to walk towards him with her skirt lifted.

"Uncle?"

Actually, Xu Linlang and Xie Chuanyan were not very familiar with each other. It was just that one of her classmates was Xie Chuanyan's nephew. She had met Xie Chuanyan several times at gatherings, and she followed her classmates in calling him "uncle".

Although she called him uncle, the man was actually only four years older than her. However, if she didn't call him uncle and just called him Mr. Xie, it would seem too distant.

Moreover, Xu Linlang always felt that the title of "uncle" was inexplicably ambiguous, so she kept calling him that.

This time she came here specially from China, just because she heard that Xie Chuanyan might show up, so she came to try her luck.

Yes, from the first time she saw Xie Chuanyan, she was full of intentions towards this man.

Hearing her voice, Xie Chuanyan raised his eyes and nodded indifferently and politely, which made her heart beat even more.

He really still remembered her.

Xie Chuanyan held a wine glass in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket, leaning casually on the back of a high chair, as if he was not attending a high-end banquet, but having a drink in his own living room.

His every move was full of charm, which made Xu Linlang's heart beat faster. She suppressed her shyness and took a bold step forward:

"Uncle, can I invite you to the dance later?"

She had inquired before and knew that Xie Chuanyan was eccentric and arrogant, and he disliked shy and docile girls the most.

She heard from Xie Chuanyan's nephew Xie Shuo that a local boss wanted to use his favor to introduce his daughter to him, but he said bluntly that obedient girls were not his cup of tea.

That's why she took the courage to invite him.

She held her breath and waited. She had practiced the expression on her face thousands of times, and even the curve of her eyes was the most perfect shape.

She was confident that her expression at this moment was bold and beautiful, making it hard to refuse.

Hearing her invitation, Xie Chuanyan put down his wine glass, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked good-tempered, but the words he said were as cold as an arrow:

"No."

Xu Linlang's smile froze, as if she had never expected him to refuse, but she still smiled generously:

"Well, I hope I can have the chance to invite my uncle to dance with me next time."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Mu Zhou, who witnessed the whole process, leaned his elbows on the bar, his cheeks supported by his palms, showing a bit of distress.

Xie Chuanyan glanced at her calmly, revealing a hint of inquiry in her sighing expression.

A moment later, he saw the little girl standing in front of him.

"Mr. Xie, may I invite you to dance with me for the first dance?"

"I just rejected someone, I'm sure you heard it."

Mu Zhou felt a little embarrassed that he was caught eavesdropping, but he still said:

"Rejecting others doesn't necessarily mean rejecting me..."

"I reject."

Xie Chuanyan ruthlessly blocked Mu Zhou's next words.

Mu Zhou was stunned, his plum-colored lips moved slightly, and finally he clenched his teeth. The shame and anger in his eyes were obvious, but they still did not leave.

"Then Mr. Xie, how can I invite you to dance?"

Xie Chuanyan narrowed his eyes, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

He could feel that the little girl was different from the women who had surrounded him in the past.

She had no feelings of admiration for him. There was no emotion in her eyes, only a stubborn pretense of calmness.

He opened his lips slightly:

"Miss, is this the first time we meet today?"

The seemingly casual tone lurks a hint of danger.

Xie Chuanyan did suspect that her motives were not pure.

But to say that such a person who could see into her heart at a glance was sent by the rival to get close to him, then the rival was looking down on him too much.
