She and Tan Qing were not like that. Why didn’t her mentor believe her despite all her explanations? Sometimes, she really wanted to reveal her married status.
The pink off-shoulder long dress had three roses casually arranged on the right side of the chest, and the long skirt trailing on the floor looked exceptionally beautiful. The most striking feature was the back’s hollow-out design, showcasing her elegant and fair back in a charming yet graceful manner.
Her long hair was casually tied up, and with a touch of makeup, the fatigue of last night disappeared without a trace, leaving her looking sweet and captivating.
"Beautiful lady, I want to have a dance with you later."
Wen Nuan had just stepped out with Lin Xue when an arm blocked her path. She recognized Tan Qing’s voice immediately.
Seeing Tan Qing’s handsome face with a smile that seemed both roguish and sincere, Wen Nuan broke into a smile: "Look behind you, there’s a long line of women waiting to dance with you. I better not compete with them, lest they want to eat me alive."
"They wouldn’t dare. You’re my female companion today."
Tan Qing blinked his narrow phoenix eyes and, after saying this with a smile, a delicate and smiling voice sounded behind them: "Young Master Tan, you’ve invited Assistant Wen as your date today, truly a perfect match."
Wen Nuan was just about to retort when a familiar voice made her frown, her smile gradually fading.
Ji Wei was walking over with a smile. The lake-blue evening gown accentuated her features and figure, making her more charming with every step. Her makeup was also done with elegance, exuding a queenly demeanor as she spoke and laughed.
"Ji Wei, as the spokesperson for MT, you’re late," Tan Qing joked, looking at Ji Wei and then glancing behind her. "Where’s your date? Didn’t you say you were bringing someone special?"
"He’s running late due to some matters, but he’ll definitely come. You both know him," Ji Wei said, glancing in Wen Nuan’s direction with a smile. "Oh, Assistant Wen knows him too."
Seeing Ji Wei smiling charmingly, Wen Nuan tightly gripped her wine glass. A sense of foreboding rose from deep within her heart.
The male companion Ji Wei mentioned...
Could it be Leng Yan?
Wen Nuan felt a sudden rush of blood. She bit her lip to calm herself and looked at Ji Wei with a smile:
"Oh, really? I haven’t spent much time in N City these years, and the people I know who are acquaintances of both Young Master Tan and Miss Ji are very few indeed. Miss Ji, could you tell me what my connection is with him, so I can guess who he is?"
Ji Wei was taken aback.
The relationship between Leng Yan and Wen Nuan was something she didn’t want others to know about. Especially Tan Qing. She actually hoped that either Tan Qing or Leng Ye would quickly win Wen Nuan over, clearing the way for her to be with Leng Yan.
After hesitating slightly, she smiled: "He’ll be here shortly, Assistant Wen, you’ll know when you see him."
Whose challenge was this supposed to be?
Ji Wei’s or Leng Yan’s?
Wen Nuan coldly laughed to herself, choosing to ignore her, and greeted her colleagues not far away. Her face displayed an enchanting smile, while her heart was filled with pain.
"Miss Ji is truly a master at outfit coordination. The lake-blue lace on your wrist is more elegant than any other accessory," Lin Xue’s eyes lit up as she complimented Ji Wei, who was holding a glass of red wine, with lake-blue lace fluttering on her other wrist.
Wen Nuan turned back. She saw the lake-blue lace on Ji Wei’s left wrist gently swaying with her wrist movements.
"I didn’t come up with this idea, even Designer Lin thinks it’s great? It seems my male companion has a really good taste."
Ji Wei laughed lightly, looking at her wrist: "He said my wrist looked a bit bare, so he went out of his way to leave important work behind and personally searched several stores for a scarf that matched the gown. I think it looks pretty nice, and I like it. By the way, he’ll be here shortly."
