Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Reminding You Not to Waste Your Efforts in Vain Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Reminding You Not to Waste Your Efforts in Vain “If you don’t feel well, let me know.” After seeing her nod in agreement, Dan Hanjie scoops her up in a princess hug and walks straightforwardly out of the villa.
“Mr. Jie, everything is arranged.” Yao arrives at the venue first, respectfully leading the way.
“Who is attending today’s event?” Qin Youxuan’s clear feline eyes start scanning their surroundings.
The beautifully decorated venue and the luxurious crystal chandelier in the hall emit a dazzling glow, illuminating the space as if it were daylight.
The red carpet runs from the entrance all the way to the dining area.
The flowers and ribbons on both sides are arranged to be very striking.
The auction area, the highlight of tonight’s banquet, is at the very back.
“Sure enough, this is Ye Mingmei’s style. It’s incredibly over the top. The Ye Family’s charity banquet is so extravagant, I wonder if it will be laughed at.” Qin Youxuan’s comment slips out after observing.
“The attendees are all prominent figures, and as it’s a charity banquet, even many legislators have been invited. Their attendance depends on the face of the Ye Family.”
Dan Hanjie wraps his arm around her waist, transferring most of her weight onto himself.
When they reach the refreshments area, he pours her a glass of juice.
“This again.” Qin Youxuan gazes longingly at the champagne within arm’s reach but reluctantly accepts the glass of juice he has chosen for her.
As she watches him pick up a glass of red wine, she pouts a little, revealing her dissatisfaction.
Before she could voice her complaint, she spots two people approaching from not too far away, and her nerves tighten.
Sensing the sudden change in Dan Hanjie’s demeanor, Qin Youxuan reaches out to hold his hand, looking at Dan Rong and Dan Hanxi, who are heading straight towards them.
Both of them are wearing white suits, which subdue their malevolent fronts a bit, making them look like a piteously loving father and son.
“Everyone has arrived.” Dan Rong’s stern face emanates an intimidating aura as he paused in front of Dan Hanjie, casually dropping a question.
Dan Hanjie’s eyes narrow sinisterly, but he doesn’t respond.
He doesn’t even utter a word of acknowledgement to his father, as if Dan Rong isn’t even worthy of his attention.
Reading his demeanor, Dan Rong’s face quickly darkens.
“Yes, uncle, after you, please.” Sensing the tension, Qin Youxuan comes to the rescue, turning aside to allow a passage.
Dan Rong mood lifts a little, he doesn’t say much and strides away.
Whereas, Dan Hanxi, seeing that Qin Youxuan actually accompanied Dan Hanjie to the banquet, a trace of malice flashes in his soft eyes as he pauses next to her.
“It seems you didn’t take my words to heart?”
“Lies have no place in the face of facts, so don’t waste your time. I am not scared.” Qin Youxuan turns her back on him, not giving him a single glance and moves closer to Dan Hanjie, her arm interlocking with his.
She dislikes Dan Hanxi, with an indescribable wariness.
She always feels he hides too much, she can see nothing through him.
After the two of them disappear, Qin Youxuan quickly steps in front of Dan Hanjie, worriedly observing him, fearing Dan Rong had upset him.
Meeting his clear and calm gaze, Qin Youxuan’s lips part slightly, in a bit of shock.
“You can’t stand for too long, let’s go in.” Dan Hanjie sets his wine glass down on a server’s tray with a wave of his hand, and someone steps forward to pick it up.
He takes Qin Youxuan’s hand, strides forward, and heads into the auction.
Because they are father and son, their seats are very close to Dan Rong’s.
Only one empty seat separates them.
It was presumably reserved for Dan Yi, but he has not attended today.
Ever since they arrived at the auction, Qin Youxuan noticed a gaze following her like a thorn in her back.
