Chapter 399 - 399 385 Affectionate Title (5)_1

Chapter 399: 385, Affectionate Title (5)_1 Chapter 399: 385, Affectionate Title (5)_1 Mo Xiao approached, and upon seeing him, Jian Qing was taken aback for a moment.

But when she remembered his other identity in M Country, clarity hit her.

She glanced casually at his coat, a faint smile playing at the corners of her eyes.

Was he still wearing it?

“It’s late and you only have a sweater on. What if you catch a cold?” Mo Xiao eyed Jian Qing’s attire, his brows furrowing.

In reality, her sweater was rather warm. Looking at the women at the party, they sacrificed warmth for fashion, clad only in thin dresses. The ones afraid of the cold could only wear an extra bolero. No one came close to wearing a sweater like Jian Qing.

Well, one kind of cold is the one your father think you have.

For example, Mo Xiao.

He glanced at Quan Jingwu with dissatisfaction and huffed, “Didn’t he tell you to put on more clothes before you left?”

Jian Qing smiled dismissively, “Our coats are in the car. It’s warm in here.

“Would you like something to eat?” Mo Xiao asked softly. His tender gaze stunned the onlookers.

Is this the An Zhe they knew?

“No need.” Jian Qing shook her head.

She had just eaten before coming out and was not hungry yet.

“Let’s sit over there.” Undeterred, Mo Xiao stood beside her.

Jian Qing looked up to see Han Yue waving at them.

Lola watched as Mo Xiao closely followed Jian Qing, a flicker of jealousy passed through her beautiful eyes.

She had known Mo Xiao for so long, but she had never seen him close to any woman. And the first time she witnessed it, it was with the woman she despised the most.

“Could you two be any less showy?” Quan Mingxuan commented on the couple’s matching outfits.

Jian Qing smirked, “Are we still not low-key enough?”

Unlike other prominent ladies dressed in evening gowns, she and Xiaojing weren’t in formal attire. Weren’t they being super low-key?

“Never mind, you guys can never be low-key.” Quan Mingxuan conceded.

As soon as Jian Qing sat down, Quan Jingwu and Mo Xiao took the spots next to her.

The expressions on Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan air suddenly became peculiar.

It was expected that Jingwu and Jian Qing would sit together, but why was An Zhe sitting next to Jian Qing as well?

Didn’t Jian Qing hate the An family? Why would she want to sit with An Zhe?

“Xie, that sofa is a bit small, why don’t you come and sit over here with me?” Lola, not able to be overlooked, gently suggested.

Mo Xiao replied, “No need.”

Only then did Jian Qing notice the others around them. Looking up, her mouth curled into a cold smile.

Small world?

Did she run into them so soon?

Her gaze fell on Lola’s fair cheeks and she raised an eyebrow.

Great recovery.

But, Xie?

Wasn’t this name a bit too intimate?

Having been humiliated repeatedly, tears welled up in Lola’s eyes. Sounding choked, she said, “Xie, why are you so indifferent to me? You weren’t like this before.”

She spoke hesitantly, and her final words were so suggestive that it made people wonder about her relationship with Mo Xiao.

Normally, Mo Xiao wouldn’t care about what she said. But things were different now, his precious daughter was watching.

He had just gained a bit of favor from her in these few days, he couldn’t afford to lose it because of this woman.

He looked at Lola with cold eyes and said, “We are not close, please call me Mo Family Head.”

As for Mo Xiao’s identity abroad, Han Yue and the others were somewhat aware, so they weren’t surprised.”

“But, but I used to call you that, and you agreed to it.” Lola said, looking even more wronged.

True, she intentionally mentioned those things. She could tell that Mo Xiao’s attitude towards that woman was different. and she wanted to demonstrate how close she and Mo Xiao used to be.

Mo Xiao could only be hers. No one else could even dream about him.

“Huh!”

A soft laugh echoed out, as Jian Qing watched Lola idly.

Seeing her scornful laugh, Lola was instantly infuriated but held back, constrained by the presence of Mo Xiao.

“How come this lady seems unfamiliar? I remember that our Durand Family didn’t invite you, right?”

That day, she’d dared to embarrass her in the shop; today, she would return her humiliation here.

“My fiancee and I are here together; do you have any objections?” Quan Jingwu broke his long silence, his voice cold.

Meeting those purple irises, Lola slightly retracted her pupils, feeling inexplicably afraid.

She knew this man. Those signature purple irises were rare. Before coming to Beijing, her father had repeatedly reminded her to be mindful of this man.

Quan Jingwu, the prince of Beijing holding the economic lifeline of the business industry. His actions could make the world’s economy shudder.

So that damned girl turned out to be his fiancee.

No wonder that girl could take out a purple gold card under M Country’s flagship last time. So, she was clinging onto a big backer.

“Of-Of course you can. For CEO Quan to personally attend, it’s an honor to the Durand Family.” Lola quickly changed her attitude, saying with a smile.

Quan Jingwu glanced at the woman next to him, completely ignoring her.

“Have some fruit juice.”

Mo Xiao picked up the fruit juice on the table and handed it to Jian Qing.

Watching this intimate scene, Lola clenched her fists.

Jian Qing sensed her anger and looked her directly in the eye as she raised a smile and accepted the fruit juice from Mo Xiao, giving him a smile in return.

“Thank you.”

Receiving his beloved daughter’s smile, Mo Xiao felt a healing sensation.

His thin lips curved up, revealing a rare smile.

Seeing this, Han Yue was even more stunned.

He had a feeling that something was not right between An Zhe and Jian Qing, but couldn’t quite place it.

Could it be that although Jian Qing disliked the An Family, she didn’t find her eldest uncle, An Zhe, objectionable?

“Xie!” Lola spoke again reluctantly.

Mo Xiao’s face instantly cooled, and he glanced at her impatiently. “If you have nothing else, don’t disturb us here.”

Disturbing his time with his daughter: unforgivable.

“Xie, you…”

Her words were once again interrupted by a cold voice.

“Xie?”

Jian Qing’s voice was soft. She looked at Mo Xiao indifferently with a hint of light in her eyes.

Such an intimate address was truly grating to the ears.

A hint of unease flickered in Mo Xiao’s cold eyes. He hastily explained, “Don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between us. She’s just a stranger.”

Seeing Mo Xiao so eager to explain to Jian Qing, Lola’s anger engulfed her.

He had dared to say he had nothing to do with her because of that damned girl! Did he not care about her feelings at all?

Jian Qing gave a light smile, “Did I say anything?”

Looking at her indifferent eyes, Mo Xiao was agitated. If he could, he wished he could strangle that idiotic woman, Lola.

If she caused him to lose his beloved daughter, he would definitely annihilate the Durand Family.

“Xie!”

Refusing to allow her to call him that, she insisted on addressing him like this.

How dare that damned girl flirt with her Xie while she still had a fiance! Absolutely shameless.

A vein popped on Mo Xiao’s forehead. He spat out one word coldly, “Scram!”

He didn’t leave her the slightest bit of dignity this time.

His voice was loud enough to draw the attention of those around them.

Feeling the eyes on her, Lola felt somewhat humiliated.

She stood up, shot a glare at Jian Qing, lifted her dress and ran off.
