319: He would be embarrassed of you

He would be embarrassed of you

Qin Yan said, "I went to the washroom but I bumped into someone outside and that delayed me for a while."

Xi Ting heard her say this and then frowned. He lowered his head and looked closely at her, "Who did you bump into? Was there a problem? Where were you hit?"

"No, no, I'm fine." He made her spin around as he looked intensely at her. Seeing that Qin Yan was indeed fine, he then relaxed.

Qin Yan said, "I told you I'm fine."

Xi Ting sighed in relief, "Don't get lost next time."

Qin Yan nodded.

Xi Ting thought about how he was so worried during the brief period she left. He always felt that something was bound to happen whenever she was out of his sight.

This kind of feeling was way too frustrating. He knew nothing should be able to happen here since the security was on tight alert and his men were stationed everywhere. However, he still didn't feel safe in his heart.

He really wanted to simply put his cookie in his pocket.

Just then, Nei Mianmian's voice could be heard.

"Qin Yan, where did you go? Ah Ting seemed to be very worried about you just now."

Qin Yan looked at the pretentious Nei Mianmian. This time, her attitude was exceptionally good. So good that it was suspicious.

Qin Yan said, "It's nothing. I was just out for a walk." She looked coldly at Nei Mianmian thinking that she was already avoiding her but Nei Mianmian actually still came right up to her. Seriously…

When Nei Mianmian saw Qin Yan's cold attitude, she laughed and said, "Don't tell me you're still angry about what happened previously? I'll apologize to you, Qin Yan. I was too impulsive. You should also know that I grew up spoiled and I'm used to being impulsive. You can ask Ah Ting if you don't believe me. He should know. We used to quarrel in the past too, but we would forget it after we were done arguing. Don't take it to heart, okay?"

Qin Yan looked at her. She made it seem like Qin Yan was being too petty by not saying that much.

Qin Yan said, "I don't think that an attempt to murder is a normal quarrel. For me, it's a big thing."

Nei Mianmian's face darkened hearing Qin Yan's reply. The latter was not giving any face to her.

Nei Mianmian however smiled, "I am really sorry for whatever I did, Qin Yan. I hope you can forgive me," She then gestured at both of them and said, "Come on, let's go take a seat over there."

But Xi Ting already rejected her immediately, "No thanks. You can go ahead. Qin Yan and I have something else to tend to."

Seeing as he rejected her so directly, Nei Mianmian's face hardened, "What's the matter?"

Xi Ting replied, "It's a matter between a couple. Do you really want to know the details?"

"…" Qin Yan immediately blushed. What nonsense was this Xi Ting talking about?

Nei Mianmian's face stiffened even further. A couple thing..Indeed, they were a couple. Anything they did was reasonable.

But when she thought about how Xi Ting would do such intimate things with that little slut, Qin Yan… When she thought about how perfect Xi Ting's embrace would be and how Qin Yan would be in that perfect embrace… Her heart was jealous to the core.

Xi Ting spoke and tugged Qin Yan, ignoring Nei Mianmian's horrid expression as they headed outwards.

Qin Yan looked at Xi Ting's face, feeling his protection over her. It made her heart warm.

Meanwhile, Nei Mianmian stared hatefully in their direction, angrily gritting her teeth.

He was not going to let Qin Yan be with her, so she had no way of executing her original plan.

*

After a while, Xi Ting got mingled with his business partners while Qin Yan took a walk on the yatch by herself. As she was curious about the yatch, she preferred exploring the yatch instead of accompanying Xi Ting in his business talks.

Many people went to the concert or other night activities. The breeze on the deck was cool and especially damp.

Qin Yan was still standing there when she heard Nei Mianmian walking over.

"What's wrong, Qin Yan? What are you doing out here alone?"

Qin Yan replied, "Miss Nei, I'm just taking a walk. What's the matter?"

"Eh? There's going to be a dance tonight and there's a segment for the dancing queen selection. Isn't Ah Ting taking you?"

Qin Yan had not heard of such a thing. She was filled with suspicion.

Nei Mianmian scoffed and said, "During the dance, after everybody has danced, someone will be chosen as the dancing queen. All girls will have a chance to be selected. Wasn't Ah Ting just there? Didn't he take you with him?"

"Oh," Qin Yan said. "Xi Ting is with his business partners and I am taking a walk, so I'm not sure."

Nei Mianmian replied, "Ha. Is that so? Then I must be mistaken. I guess that Ah Ting didn't want to take you so that he wouldn't get disgraced."

Qin Yan's expression changed slightly as she looked at Nei Mianmian, "Thanks for your reminder, Miss Nie. But there is no point in trying to sabotage my relationship. He didn't take me because I was not with him just now. Xi Ting doesn't care about his image."

Nei Mianmian grunted, "Don't be so sensitive. I was merely reminding you. How was I sabotaging you? Fine, I'm going to the dance first. I came out so suddenly. They must be all waiting for me."

Nei Mianmian arrogantly lifted her skirt and walked towards the dance. It was only at this moment that Qin Yan noticed Nei Mianmian wearing a shimmering silver-black gown. It was probably a retro-styled dance dress, which looked very appropriate.

Hearing Nei Mianmian, Qin Yan decided to go to the dance. She wanted to see how it looked like as it seemed as if many people cared about it.

Very soon, she was at the central ballroom. A retro-styled dance floor was already set up and the people inside seemed to be English aristocrats. They were dancing proper dances and looked extremely elegant.

Qin Yan didn't spot Xi Ting nor Nei Mianmian, but she heard people discussing beside her.

[I just saw Nei Mianmian walk past.]

[Who is her dance partner? How come I don't see him?]

[Who knows? I saw that she went straight in. Perhaps she went to find Young Master Xi?]

[Young Master Xi knows how to dance? That's impossible. I've never seen him dance.]

[Yes, Young Master Xi has always kept a low profile. I have indeed never seen him dance.]

[But that Nei Mianmian has been the dancing queen for three years in a row.]

[Is Nei Mianmian that good? Three-time dancing queen?]

[Yes, you've never seen Nei Mianmian dance. She is simply too professional. She is a rich man's daughter alright, learning all kinds of things since she was young. She's so good at dancing now and she is so pretty. So many young talents have extreme admiration for her. In any case, she is not nation's top socialite for nothing.]

[If she has Young Master Xi's help for this dance, then tonight's titles of dancing queen and king are going to be theirs.]

Qin Yan heard this discussion and her brows furrowed slightly. She wondered what kind of apology this was by the Nie family. It seemed that they had just thrown a party to show off their daughter's talent. This didn't seem like an apology at all.

She then looked inside, trying to find Xi Ting but to no avail. At this moment, someone inside exclaimed that Nei Mianmian was going to dance.

Qin Yan quickly looked over. Thankfully, Nei Mianmian's first dance partner was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man. He was tall, slim, and looked handsome too.

But he wasn't Xi Ting. Qin Yan watched as Nei Mianmian began to dance. Her steps were passionate and she looked like a beautiful fairy spinning on the dance floor. The people around all looked at her. Some even subconsciously stepped aside to give her more space.

Meanwhile, inside.

Xi Ting was discussing business related things with others. At this time, someone said, "Miss Nei is really not bad."

Xi Ting also looked at the people over there. He didn't care much and returned his gaze back to his discussing partner.0

Not long after, Nei Mianmian's first song ended. The crowd applauded and Nei Mianmian greeted everyone. She looked inside, smiled sultrily, and walked in.

"Ah Ting, what are you doing over here? You haven't attended this dance for so many years. Aren't you going to participate?" Nei Mianmian really wanted her first dance to be with Xi Ting, but she was afraid that he would reject her. Thus, she specifically went to find a dance partner for him to see how well-liked she was here.
