Chapter 44 - Falling in Love is Like Playing a Court Battle

n
nShi Xi asked casually, “What are you doing here?”
n
nShe remembered that Tao Yuxuan had called earlier and said that it was Leng Qiankun’s welcoming banquet today.
n
nBut the main character was here.
n
nThen what was Tao Yuxuan welcoming?
n
nThe Northwest Wind?
n
n“I heard that you were here, so I came to look for you.” Leng Qiankun put one hand in his pocket and smiled. “Want to have a meal together?”
n
nShi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou with some embarrassment.
n
nXie Yunzhou said, “Mr. Leng, Shi Xi and I have an appointment.”
n
nHearing this, Leng Qiankun’s gaze fell on Xie Yunzhou again and asked, “Do you know each other?”
n
nXie Yunzhou chuckled. There was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes that had sunk into the abyss. “Of course we know each other.”
n
nLeng Qiankun had already left for a year, so he did not know what had happened in that year.
n
nHe had always thought that his love rival was Sheng Yan, but now there was another Xie Yunzhou?
n
n“Well, why don’t we eat together?” Shi Xi suggested.
n
nThe two of them said at the same time:
n
n“No!”
n
n“No!”
n
nTheir opinions were quite unanimous.
n
nShi Xi: “…”
n
nShe was only one person, so she couldn’t be divided into two halves!
n
n“Shi Xi and I made an appointment first.” Xie Yunzhou had always been strong-willed and wouldn’t give in.
n
n“Oh? Shi Xi Xi, is it because you agreed to have dinner with him that you’re not coming to my welcoming banquet?” Leng Qiankun laughed dangerously.
n
nShi Xi could not help but take a step back.
n
nLeng Qiankun was very handsome.
n
nHowever, his aura was cold, and people did not like to get close to him.
n
nXie Yunzhou took a step forward and stood in front of Shi Xi. His gaze was unperturbed. “Is there a problem?”
n
nLeng Qiankun sized up Xie Yunzhou. “This is between Shi Xi and me.”
n
nXie Yunzhou: “Her matter is my matter.”
n
nIf it were anyone else, Leng Qiankun would have already thrown a punch.
n
nBut the person in front of him was Xie Yunzhou, the eldest young master of the Xie family. He was not someone he could easily deal with.
n
n“Oh? You guys are so close?” Leng Qiankun’s smile deepened. “But I remember that Shi Xi’s fiancé is Sheng Yan.”
n
nHearing Sheng Yan’s name, Xie Yunzhou felt angry and irritated.
n
n“Well, Tao Yuxuan said that your welcoming banquet has been rescheduled to tomorrow. I’ll go and welcome you tomorrow.” Shi Xi stuck her head out and spoke to Leng Qiankun.
n
n“If Shi Xi Xi is free tomorrow, we’ll meet again tomorrow.” With a step, Leng Qiankun backed down.
n
nXie Yunzhou was expressionless.
n
nLeng Qiankun then said to Xie Yunzhou, “Young Master Xie, Shi Xi has an allergic constitution. Remember not to let her eat seafood.”
n
nThis action of showing off that he was more familiar with Shi Xi was very childish in Xie Yunzhou’s eyes.
n
nBut it also made him jealous.
n
n“She is already so old. She will remember it,” Xie Yunzhou retorted vaguely.
n
nHe would never like a brainless woman like Shi Xi!
n
nLeng Qiankun watched the two of them leave. He narrowed his eyes and dialed Tao Yuxuan’s number.
n
n“What’s wrong? Haven’t you seen Xi Xi?” Tao Yuxuan said, “I remember she’s staying in this hotel!”
n
n“I’ve seen her.” Leng Qiankun asked, “Are Shi Xi and Xie Yunzhou close?”
n
n“They know each other?” Tao Yuxuan was very surprised. After thinking for a while, she said with certainty, “They shouldn’t be very close. I’ve never heard Xi Xi mention it before!”
n
nLeng Qiankun chuckled. “They went to eat together.”
n
n“F*ck!” Tao Yuxuan was shocked.
n
nLeng Qiankun lowered his eyes and said, “I’m going to your place. Tell me everything that happened to Shi Xi after I left.”
n
nAfter saying that, he did not care whether Tao Yuxuan agreed or not and hung up the phone.
n
nTao Yuxuan looked at the disconnected phone and gritted her teeth.
n
nEach and every one of them fell in love like they were having a court battle!
