He called her countless times, each time met with the sound of a shutdown. Just now, he tried to contact her again, but still, there was no response.
However, it didn’t matter; he knew she would definitely be here today.
"Yan, you finally came, let’s go over there." Avoiding a few reporters’ questions, Ji Wei’s eyes anxiously searched the hall, and when she saw the person standing not far away, her eyes lit up, and she happily ran over, grabbing his arm.
"Ji Wei, you go wait for me over there first, I have something to do." Leng Yan discreetly withdrew his arm, his voice calm and indifferent.
"Alright, make sure you come back later." Ji Wei smiled, with reluctance and helplessness flashing in her eyes. When she followed his gaze, she couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased.
Tan Qing... Wen Nuan...
Seeing the two of them laughing happily, it surely must have irritated Leng Yan. Ha, this was exactly what she wanted to see most, and one of the reasons she brought Leng Yan here today.
The other reason was nothing more than her wanting Leng Yan to accompany her, to make Wen Nuan completely give up.
Leng Yan walked steadily step by step, yet his fingers could not help but clench.
He never knew she could laugh so heartily, like a vividly blooming sunflower. Even when she smiled at him, most of the time it was just a gentle smile, always cautious.
The only time she smiled the most beautifully was that day doing yoga; a glance back with a captivating smile caught him off guard and flustered.
However, even then, it didn’t compare to the unrestrained, genuine laughter she had now.
He liked this kind of smile, but seeing the man next to her, he felt such a smile was blinding.
And that alluring, pale beautiful back, was she planning to let another man touch it when dancing later?
"So, how about a dance?"
As the two chatted and laughed, beautiful and melodious music started playing, Tan Qing reached out his hand to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan hesitated for a moment, her body swayed by the music, finally unable to resist, she nodded and smiled, reaching out her hand to him. Yet in the next second, her hand was stopped by someone.
"Second Young Master?"
Tan Qing’s eyes were filled with not only confusion but also displeasure: "What is Second Young Master doing?"
Leng Yan was standing bizarrely and abruptly between the two.
Wen Nuan looked at Leng Yan, her delicate brows furrowing, and slightly turned her head not to look at him.
Wasn’t he supposed to be attending with Ji Wei? What was he doing here? Was he not worried that his Princess Ji would get jealous with him acting ?
"Young Master Tan, this is the male companion I mentioned today. You should know him, right?"
Ji Wei looked startled, quickly ran over, and said with a light laugh, "After all, you’re both distinguished young talents in the public eye."
"Of course, I know him, just didn’t expect the Second Young Master of the Leng Family would attend." Although Tan Qing was puzzled, as the host, he naturally had to be cordial and extended his hand to Leng Yan, "Welcome, Second Young Master."
"Young Master Tan is too kind." Leng Yan shook Tan Qing’s hand briefly and with a lip-curling smile said, "May I have the honor of a dance with this beautiful lady next to you?"
Wen Nuan’s fingers trembled slightly.
Leng Yan, what are you planning to do?
She stared at his face for a few seconds, slowly revealing a slight smile, apologetically looking at him, "Today, Miss Ji is your true partner, isn’t she, Young Master Leng? As for me, naturally, I should have the first dance with Young Master Tan."
Darn man, I’m not dancing with you!
"Then I’ll wait for the second dance." Leng Yan gritted his teeth and said good-naturedly.
"Alright, if Young Master Leng is not afraid that Miss Ji would get jealous, I’ll dance with you for the second song." Wen Nuan’s smile deepened, extending her hand to Tan Qing, "Young Master Tan, shall we begin?"
