Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Are You Still Dreaming?
"Zhang Yaqing and Zhang Wudao of the Zhang Family are here to offer a toast to everyone from the Luo Family," a womanâs voice announced. "May we come in?"
Chen Xiao instantly recognized Zhang Yaqingâs voice.
Luo Chenggong was thrilled. "Miss Zhang is here!" The others immediately grew serious, preparing to receive the siblings from the Zhang Family.
A few seconds later, the Zhang siblings pushed the door open and entered. Zhang Yaqing wore a black, form-fitting dress with a plunging V-neck that revealed a hint of her stunning cleavage. Her slim, elegant figure, combined with a sensual and enchanting aura, instantly made Qin Yan and Xiao Hanâs eyes widen in awe.
A stunner! An absolute goddess!
If a cool beauty like Luo Qingli could maximally arouse a manâs desire to conquer, then a woman like Zhang Yaqing could ignite his passion in an instant.
When Zhang Yaqingâs gaze swept over him, Xiao Han felt a tingling sensation all overâan ecstatic thrill. He immediately straightened his back and stared straight ahead, feigning a serious demeanor.
Luo Linlin gritted her teeth, annoyed.
What a fox spirit!
She had seen the way Xiao Han looked at both Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing. Although she was deeply unhappy about it, she didnât dare say a word.
"Miss Zhang, you honor us with your presence! Please forgive us for not giving you a proper welcome!" Luo Chenggong and the others looked utterly flattered as they hurried forward to greet her humbly.
Only Luo Qingli remained where she was, simply rising to her feet as a gesture. Though she hadnât interacted much with Zhang Yaqing, they were known as the Twin Beauties of Yuncheng City, equals in looks and grace. Despite their few meetings, Luo Qingli could always sense a hidden animosity from Zhang Yaqing; she even suspected that Zhang Yaqing was behind the delayed final payment from the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce. Today, however, Zhang Yaqingâs gaze held a strange, inexplicable kindness.
Could it really be because of Xiao Han?
When Xiao Han noticed her looking his way, he was instantly filled with confidence. Being noticed by such a peerless beauty was an indescribable pleasure. He coughed lightly and said, "Miss Zhang, right? Youâre being far too courteous. Although I have a distinguished background, receiving such high regard from you on my first visit is truly flattering.
"Surely, you must have already investigated my identity, Miss Zhang? Allow me to introduce myself again: I am Xiao Han of the Xiao Family from Jinling, one of this yearâs Ten Outstanding Youths of Jinling!"
With that, he struck a gentlemanly pose and walked forward gracefully, wine glass in hand, ready to clink glasses with Zhang Yaqing. His movements were imbued with what he believed to be dashing and debonair flair.
"Xiao... Xiao who?" Zhang Yaqing asked, a look of confusion on her face. "Sir, do I know you?"
Xiao Hanâs expression faltered. "Miss Zhang, you must be joking... I heard that not just anyone can enter this premier private room. If you hadnât investigated my identity, how could you have let us in?"
"Exactly!" Luo Linlin laughed along. "Miss Zhang, I know you donât want us to know youâre deliberately trying to win over my boyfriend, but you donât have to pretend you donât know him, do you? You just said you were coming up to offer us a toast."
"I opened the premier room to win *you* over?" Zhang Yaqing was rendered speechless by their baseless confidence.
Xiao Han smiled faintly. "Miss Zhang, thereâs no need to..."
Before he could finish, Zhang Yaqing cut him off coldly. "Who knows you?
"Who the hell do you think you are, to be worthy of the Zhang Family opening the premier private room for you?
"Me, trying to win you over?
"Are you still dreaming?"
The merciless ridicule struck Xiao Han like a series of harsh slaps across the face. His expression turned livid, and he froze on the spot, utterly stunned.
