Chapter 320: 320, Donât Challenge My Bottom Line (1)_1 Chapter 320: 320, Donât Challenge My Bottom Line (1)_1 âGrandpa, everyone is here. You should greet them now,â Han Yue quickly changed the subject to avoid being scolded by his grandfather again.
Old Han saw through his grandsonâs intentions, snorted in recognition, and deciding not to lecture him, considering itâs a birthday banquet.
Next, Old Han took the stage and offered some politeness, and then the banquet officially began.
Tonightâs banquet was meticulously planned by Han Yue, and naturally, he made sure it was quite entertaining.
Not long after the banquet started, waltz music filled the Banquet Hall.
The lights suddenly changed, the luxurious crystal chandeliers refracting glorious colors, eliminating the dimness in the center of the dance floor.
This part of the evening was routine for those present.
The heirs of the aristocratic families invited the socialites to dance. Although many rich young men looked towards Jian Qing, none dared invite her to dance.
They werenât stupid, with the powerful and influential Quan Jingwu present, they didnât want to court death.
Almost none thought of inviting Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing to dance, but Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue were indeed the prime targets of many socialites.
Unluckily, they were unresponsive to their admirersâ advances.
Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue unhesitatingly rejected round after round of socialites, clinking their glasses and drinking together.
âWhatâs the matter? Arenât you playing the field tonight?â Quan Mingxuan teased, finishing the wine in his glass, looking at the man next to him.
âMy grandpa is watching.â Han Yue shrugged, commenting.
If he got too close to any of the socialites, his grandpa might arrange a match for him.
Marriage, such matters, he would rather not deal with for now.
He didnât want to be tied down by marriage.
Quan Mingxuan laughed knowingly.
Rare to see Han Yue afraid of something.
Han Yue was disgruntled at his gloating.
With a sly look in his expressive eyes, he reached for a rose on the table and extended it towards Quan Mingxuan, âAxuan, how about I dance with you?â
His magnetically charming voice made Quan Mingxuanâs skin crawl.
âSpeak normally.â
Where did this sudden impulse come from?
Han Yueâs smile deepened, âArenât I speaking normally?â
Damn it.
He just couldnât take it anymore.
Quan Mingxuanâs lip twitched as he raised his hand and smacked the back of Han Yueâs head dismissively.
Han Yue cradled his head, resuming his usual tone.
âQuan Mingxuan, are you asking for a beating?â
Yes, he was finally back to normal.
Satisfied, Quan Mingxuan withdrew his hand and calmly responded, âItâs more normal for you to act like this.â
Han Yue was annoyed and tossed the rose in his hand towards Mingxuan.
âDamn you, use this flower for your funeral.â
Hearing this, Mingxuan was not agitated. He picked up the rose and threw it on the table.
âNo need, you keep it and enjoy it slowly.â
Han Yue looked around and asked, âWhereâs Jingwu?â
âHeâs gone to find his wife,â Quan Mingxuan answered.
Han Yue acknowledged with a sound, his eyes catching sight of something, a playful smile spread across his lips.
âAxuan, letâs go over there and see.â
âSee what?â Mingxuan asked.
Han Yue replied, âOf course, to watch the drama unfold.â
Then, he pointed towards a figure dressed in white not too far away.
Following Han Yueâs gaze, Mingxuan saw Chu Yihen.
The direction he was heading, was towards Jian Qing.
Could it be that he still hadnât had his fill of being beaten up by Jian Qing back in J City?
âLetâs go, thereâs definitely going to be a good show.â
Before he could respond, Han Yue was already pulling him toward where the figure was.
Meanwhile, Jian Qing was enjoying her dessert while occasionally answering some of Quan Yifeiâs questions.
âXirou, why arenât you dancing?â
Quan Yifei tilted her head to look at Song Xirou and asked.
As long as she was there, she and Jian Qing couldnât really talk about other things.
Song Xirouâs face displayed a shy smile as she replied, âMy boyfriend doesnât like me dancing with other men.â
Quan Yifei chuckled and turned her gaze towards Jian Qing.
âJian Qing, youâre on your third one. Arenât you getting sick of it?â
Although she also liked desserts, after eating two small cakes sheâd already started to feel nauseous. But Jian Qing was now on her third.
Jian Qing put down her fork, picked up a glass of juice from the side, and took a sip.
âItâs fine.â
âJian Qing!â
A gentle and warm voice sounded nearby, elegant and exquisite like a spring rain in March.
Quan Yifei turned her head, surprised to see Chu Yihen.
Chu Yihen! What was he doing here?
After a glance at Chu Yihen, Song Xirou shifted her gaze to Jian Qing. A hint of disdain flitted across her eyes, mixed with a trace of jealousy.
On one hand, she was hooking up with Jingwu, and on the other, she was also flirting with Chu Yihen.
Jian Qing, you really know your game.
Jian Qing lowered her gaze. Her fork was picking at the dessert on her plate, but she didnât eat a bite.
She was utterly indifferent to Chu Yihenâs arrival.
Chu Yihenâs eyes reflected the figure of Jian Qing. Seeing how coldly she treated him, the smile in his eyes gradually froze.
He took a step forward, his gaze dropping to her, âJian Qing, I think we should continue our unfinished conversation from last time.â
Upon hearing this, Yifei faltered, her gaze questioning Jian Qing.
Unfinished conversation?
When did Jian Qing and Chu Yihen become acquainted?
Jian Qing put down her fork, stood up, and looked at him with indifference. âI think I made myself clear last time. Also, we are not close. Please address me as Miss Jian. Thank you.â
Chu Yihen hated seeing her look at him with those impartial eyes, like he was a stranger. It made him want to pull her into his arms even more.
âSweetheart!â
The manâs husky voice echoed, and warmth filled Jian Qingâs eyes.
Such contrasting treatment, in Chu Yihenâs eyes, was exceedingly ironic.
Jian Qing had no interest in his thoughts and bypassed him, intending to leave.
Chu Yihenâs handsome face turned cold, and suddenly, he reached out to grab her wrist.
He was fast, but someone else was faster.
Despite wearing high heels, Jian Qingâs movements were swift and agile.
With a light tap of her toes, she retreated, avoiding his hand.
Just as she steadied herself, her back came into contact with a manâs robust chest.
His cool fragrance filled her nostrils, and Jian Qingâs lips curved up slightly as she leaned into him.
Quan Jingwuâs strong arm wrapped around her waist, his gaze frosting over as he looked at Chu Yihen.
âChu Yihen, donât test my patience.â
