"Your pave diamond necklace isn’t bad either." Shen Cheng commented politely on Mo Qingxin’s necklace, which was impossible to ignore.
Ye Zi sat across from the few people, quietly observing them as if she was an outsider. Qin Jin was tilting his face, taking interest in her confusion. When the exchange between Shen Cheng and Mo Qingxin concluded, he suddenly wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
His face was very close to hers, merely a finger’s breadth away, and they could even feel each other’s breath.
Ye Zi was startled by Qin Jin’s proximity, and her instinct was to pull away.
But Qin Jin didn’t give her the chance and held her tight, introducing her to Mo Qingxin, "Ye Zi, my girlfriend."
He said it very naturally, with a carefree attitude and tone that suggested he wasn’t joking.
Ye Zi was completely dumbfounded upon hearing him introduce her like that, her mouth slightly agape, at a loss for words.
"Hmm, well matched," Shen Cheng remarked casually, evaluating the pair clinging to each other.
Hearing her say that, Ye Zi became flustered, "No, no, beautiful, I am not..."
"Not prepared to visit my house today? That’s fine, we can reschedule." Qin Jin smirked devilishly, deliberately misconstruing her words.
"You mean actually visiting my house today would be okay?" Qin Jin continued to tease her.
"..." Left speechless by him, Ye Zi could only sulk and pout, "I’m not talking to you!"
Tch, he liked her feisty attitude!
Only then did Qin Jin stop teasing her and leaned back on the sofa, "That’s pretty much the situation. The more we interact in the future, the more familiar we’ll become. Plus, Miss Mo has already settled in Imperial City 19, getting to know someone is just a matter of speaking up."
Mo Qingxin gently brushed her hair beside her ear, her every movement exuded nobility and elegance.
Her chestnut curls, shiny and smooth, were clearly well-maintained.
"After all, being new in town, cash can’t compare to connections. I’ll have to trouble Second Young Master Qin and Mr. Shi more in the future. If you want top-notch wine, feel free to take it from my place. Having too much pocket change, I don’t mind spending some."
Qin Jin was well aware of what top-notch wine cost, "You sure seem to have quite a bit of ’pocket change’."
Just as Mo Qingxin was about to speak, someone approached Qin Jin to ask if he wanted to add another song, otherwise the next one would be the last.
Qin Jin checked the time, "It’s getting late, no need to add more."
"Yes, Second Master."
Mo Qingxin glanced at her designer watch with a hint of regret, "Seems like I’ll have to come earlier next time."
Seeing Shi Yu and Shen Cheng stand up to leave, she also got up, "It’s not early anymore, I should head out too."
Qin Jin had intended to dance with Ye Zi at the end of the party, but the situation had now changed, and disregarding everyone seemed inappropriate.
"You’ve been drinking, do you need me to arrange a driver for you?" He stood up and tossed a pack of cigarettes to Shi Yu.
Shen Cheng turned her head away, seemingly a bit upset that Shi Yu had smoked too much that evening.
Seeing her reaction, Shi Yu threw the pack of cigarettes back to Qin Jin, "It’s just a bit of alcohol, no one dares to check."
Qin Jin was not surprised, too lazy to say more, he turned to Mo Qingxin, "Does Miss Mo’s driver know when to come pick you up?"
