Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Overbearing Female CEO VS Commoner Xiao Baihua (13) Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Overbearing Female CEO VS Commoner Xiao Baihua (13) When Xia Ziqing saw Xia Wanjun, it was as if he had seen some fearsome beast, and he quickly glanced at Gu Shengyin before lowering his head and leaving.
This uncle of his held a transcendental position in the main Xia Family; even the lofty elders of the main family dared not breathe loudly in front of Fourth Master Xia, let alone a junior member of a collateral branch like him.
Indeed, not only Xia Ziqing, but everyone in the Xia Family treated Xia Wanjun with trembling fear. This god of slaughter didn’t have to answer for killing someone, so who would dare provoke him?
Long Tianruo raised her eyebrows in surprise, “So it is the famous Fourth Master of the Xia Family. Tianruo is extremely fortunate to discuss business personally with Fourth Master.”
Xia Ziqing referred to Xia Wanjun as fourth uncle, and in the entire Xia Family, only one person could be called Fourth Master.
It would be foolish to keep pretending to be confused.
Xia Wanjun smiled lightly, “I have always placed great importance on our cooperation with Long’s.”
Gu Shengyin suddenly felt cold and unconsciously rubbed her arms lightly with her fingers.
Xia Wanjun did not miss this detail, “Is Tianruo feeling cold?”
Gu Shengyin gave him a strange look. The man’s expression remained normal, as if calling her Tianruo didn’t feel the least bit abrupt to him.
In this manner, if she insisted on clarifying, it would only make her seem petty.
She nodded slightly, “It seems a bit cold.”
A hint of amusement appeared in Xia Wanjun’s eyes as he gestured to an attendant by his side and said a few words, and the attendant quickly bowed and left.
The two of them stood quietly in a corner, chatting sporadically, yet they didn’t feel awkward.
In the eyes of others, this interaction held significant meaning.
Everyone knew that Fourth Master Xia usually preferred silence and was extremely neat. His presence at such an event was already surprising, and now he was actually engaging in a lengthy conversation!
Those observing Long Tianruo gazed at her with profound meaning, worthy of being the foremost among the younger generation, even managing to handle a character like Fourth Master Xia.
There were also many who looked at them with suggestive eyes. It was undeniable that Xia Wanjun and Long Tianruo together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, seemed a perfect match.
Quite a few people pondered whether the famously indifferent Fourth Master had finally been moved by spring emotions this time.
The attendant returned quickly, draping a snow-white plush shawl over his arm.
Xia Wanjun personally took the shawl from his hand and draped it over Gu Shengyin.
As he draped the shawl on her from behind, it was as if he was encircling her entirely in his embrace.
His familiar scent enveloped Gu Shengyin in an instant, and she barely stopped herself from instinctively leaning back into his embrace.
Xia Wanjun, however, greatly enjoyed this sensation. As he wrapped his arms around Gu Shengyin’s shoulders from behind, a rush of impulse surged within him, urging him to tighten his arms and truly pull her into his embrace.
Ultimately, he resisted with tremendous willpower.
Reluctantly withdrawing his hands, he stepped back and returned to his previous position.
“Very beautiful,” he said, looking at Gu Shengyin with admiration.
His words were heartfelt. Long Tianruo, already striking and imposing, now adorned with the fur shawl, appeared even more luxurious.
“Thank you, Fourth Master,” Gu Shengyin gathered the cloak around her, feeling a wave of warmth spread through her body, and smiled.
Xia Wanjun kept another satisfied thought to himself: This way, those annoying gazes won’t always be fixed on you.
