When the higher-up saw Ye Wanwan’s gaze landing on his son and surprisingly not looking displeased, hope ignited in his heart, and he advertised his son with increased enthusiasm .
“Ah-Yang, hurry and introduce yourself to Miss Yi!” The higher-up shoved his son .
The youth named Ah-Yang had his lips tightly pursed and his complexion looked ghastly pale as he stood unmoving in his spot .
The higher-up turned anxious . “Why are you foolishly standing there?”
The youth pushed his father away . “Sorry, I have something to do . Please excuse me!”
“You…” The higher-up nearly stomped his feet in anger upon seeing his son dashing away .
He hastily turned to Ye Wanwan and apologized, “I’m truly sorry, Miss Yi . This child is a bit introverted and shy with strangers . ”
Ye Wanwan casually replied, “He has quite the character . ”
Someone who could remain this frank in the Independent State and especially within a circle like the Arbitration Council was truly a rare sight .
The higher-up didn’t know whether Ye Wanwan’s remark was a compliment or an insult, so he laughed it off and kept apologizing .
However, seeing that Miss Yi didn’t look angry and said his son had character, she probably was satisfied to some degree, right?
That punk was too impertinent, but the higher-up had plenty of methods to make him submit .
He just had to tie that punk up later and send him over to Miss Yi!
His term of office was nearing its end and he might be replaced next term . It would be difficult to ingratiate himself with President Yi, but if he could gain Yi Yunmo’s favor, he’d be able to rest easy .
Throughout the entire night, in order to ensure that Ye Wanwan didn’t have time to seek out Si Yehan, Yi Lingjun acted like a butterfly . He forcefully pulled her and fluttered all over the venue .
Ye Wanwan finally made it to the end of the banquet .
Luxurious cars filled the entrance of the venue and all the prominent figures and higher-ups began to leave .
Ye Wanwan looked around the crowd, but there were too many people, and she couldn’t find a trace of Si Yehan .
Ye Wanwan angrily glared at Yi Lingjun .
Yi Lingjun raised his brows . “Why are you glaring at me, huh? Look at how pitiful you are . He publicly rejected you earlier, alright?”
Ye Wanwan wasn’t irked by that and started gloating instead . “So what if he rejected me? My darling is seriously too handsome when he rejects me, alright?”
Yi Lingjun: “…”
Although he couldn’t stand watching his little disciple being utterly bewitched by and infatuated with a man, Si Yehan performed rather well tonight .
He actually declined such an alluring temptation . Yi Lingjun saw him in a new light .
They had to act out the whole play, so Yi Lingjun had arranged a place for Ye Wanwan to stay already . Ye Wanwan was waiting for a car to pick her up as she searched for Si Yehan .
In the night, she was merely standing there casually, but she was dazzling like the sun, making people unable to look away .
“Miss Yi…”
A man’s voice drifted from behind Ye Wanwan, and she reflexively looked behind her . Yin Heng was standing there .
When faced with people the girl didn’t care about, she didn’t seem to have the desire to utter a single word .
The ignored Yin Heng’s expression quickly returned to normal . He began: “Hello, Miss Yi, I didn’t have time to introduce myself earlier . I’m Yin Heng, Director Si’s adopted brother . ”
At the sound of “Director Si’s adopted brother,” the girl finally spared him a glance .
Yin Heng apologized . “Miss Yi, my elder brother has a peculiar personality and is hard to get along with . If he offended you in any way earlier, please forgive him, Miss Yi!”
Yin Heng’s tone shifted, and he explained, “My elder brother has a fiancée already . I heard she’s very controlling and also has a disagreeable disposition, which is why my elder brother rejected your invitation—to avoid causing a misunderstanding . ”
Yin Heng chuckled and added, “Heh, of course, my elder brother was overthinking too much . Why would you have that kind of intention toward my elder brother…”
Before Yin Heng could finish speaking, the girl nonchalantly glanced at him . “What if I said I did?”
Yin Heng: “…”
