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

n

n

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!
