Chapter 11: Chapter 5 Social Butterfly
His grip was too strong, and Yun Yuwan couldn’t struggle free, forced to sit on his lap.
She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, her mind uneasy.
It was over, he must think she picked up bad habits in Europe, sitting on his lap because she was so casual with everyone.
She wanted to get off, her hand pressing on the armrest of the sofa beside him for leverage.
Wen Yangzhi looked at her unease, his long eyes indifferent, he countered, “You can sit on others’ laps, but you can’t sit on mine?”
His intention was brotherly, but she assud it was because they liked each other that their relationship was closer.
She was sowhat surprised, yet in his stern gaze, she coquettishly argued in a soft voice, “I never sit on other people’s laps…”
Wen Yangzhi was indifferent to her excuse and didn’t want to hear it.
Yun Yuwan was almost pressed on his knee; the feeling was uncomfortable.
He bumped his leg, causing Yun Yuwan to slide uncontrollably down, pressing against his upper body.
At this mont, all she wanted was to stand up.
She certainly had caused trouble.
Wen Yangzhi’s expression was distant as he restrained her with his hand, keeping a small distance between her and his upper body: “Don’t move.”
Yun Yuwan dared not move rashly, afraid to anger him, and hadn’t expected Wen Yangzhi to treat her this way.
Wen Yangzhi finally began to inquire about the necklace: “Why are you wearing this necklace today?”
Unconsciously, she touched the necklace on her neck, the erald sparkling coolly.
She was unaware that her appearance today was particularly striking, enhanced by the necklace from him.
Soone’s remark, “I have an ambitious and single brother.”
Gave her attire a justified origin.
Suddenly touching that necklace ant as a gift also had a perfectly reasonable explanation.
She was willing to touch his intended gift.
Yet, Yun Yuwan thought he was asking through the necklace, “Do you like ?”
Otherwise, why would she wear it so eagerly?
Looking at his stern eyes, a drunken sweetness blossod in Yun Yuwan’s heart—how he wanted to know if she liked him…
But if she admitted it, wouldn’t it seem too eager?
In a soft voice, she explained, “The necklace I initially wore today was deed inappropriate by my aunt, so she asked Uncle Deng to pick a suitable one from the jewelry room for . I didn’t expect it to be this one.”
Upon hearing the answer, he didn’t respond imdiately but pondered for a long while.
His eyes were like shallow grey Tahitian black pearls, neither intensely black nor white, an ambiguous grey area, impossible to discern his feelings.
“It wasn’t your choice to wear it?”
Yun Yuwan was just about to answer it wasn’t, but she suddenly realized—
If she extricated herself from the relationship, what if Wen Yangzhi thought she didn’t want to wear the necklace?
This necklace, so significant, was specially bid by him, and he intended to have her wear it publicly at the dinner event.
Always saying it wasn’t her choice to wear it, he who loved her so much, would certainly be upset, wouldn’t he?
She felt sowhat ashad, her doe eyes shyly and darkly looking at him: “I also wanted to wear it…”
Wen Yangzhi’s expression grew a bit colder.
Her face slightly flushed, Yun Yuwan asked him, “Does it look good on ?”
His face expressionless, he replied, “Very beautiful.”
Her heart blood.
Wen Yangzhi spoke blandly, “Get down.”
His gaze sliding past the necklace on her neck, his voice indifferent: “It’s yours.”
Yun Yuwan was sowhat taken aback yet blushing, her heart agitated, she couldn’t help but want to wag her tail at him.
Her liking him ant a prepaid gift from him.
Wen Yangzhi was so tender to her.
Does he like her that much?
She gingerly climbed off Wen Yangzhi.
Feeling lighter on his legs, Wen Yangzhi got up, his tall figure walked to the door, cautioning, “Before the dance ends tonight, do not leave this room.”
Yun Yuwan puzzled, “Why?”
The warm yellow light fell on his high nose and brow ridges, as cold as snow, seemingly uncaring, he lightly mocked, “Returning to Shanghai the second day and already becoming a social butterfly?”
Yun Yuwan still didn’t realize she had annoyed Wen Yangzhi: “No, that’s not it.”
Wen Yangzhi directly opened the door and left.
After he left, she suddenly ca to realize.
This necklace had originally been prepared for an important Wen family dinner.
Wearing this necklace at a small dance, did he think she wanted to show off?
Using his kindness to grab others’ attention.
That was it.
Yun Yuwan had an epiphany.
He must have been jealous and angry, otherwise he wouldn’t have accused her of wanting to be a social butterfly.
She had ssed things up again.
The atmosphere had been so good too.
She flopped down onto the sofa.
Jiang Jianqing was chatting with Assistant Zheng at the doorway, and when he saw Wen Yangzhi co out and even close the door, he grew curious about what had happened inside.
However, Wen Yangzhi interrupted his thoughts, “Let
borrow the room, don’t let her leave here until it’s over.”
Jiang Jianqing was sowhat surprised but thought nothing much of it, it was just a room after all, but…
“Of course, but my mom also wanted to introduce my brother to her—”
A single sentence from Wen Yangzhi left him with no room for argunt, “The person who made the mistake should be punished.”
Lightly spoken, yet irrefutable.
Jiang Jianqing shut his mouth.
Well, that was also true, she had taken such an expensive necklace without permission.
Yangzhi wasn’t her real brother and couldn’t physically or verbally reprimand her, rely not letting her out was already giving her face.
An arranged eting can happen anyti.
Assistant Zheng knew all too well that the clueless Miss Yun who had ddled with others’ belongings must have provoked the boss’s fury.
She followed Wen Yangzhi out.
As for Yun Yuwan, thinking about her wearing that necklace, she knew Wen Yangzhi must have been angry.
She obediently stayed inside for two hours.
She didn’t co out until the noise downstairs had quieted down.
When she ca out, Jiang Jianqing was approaching with a wine glass and so snacks, trying to comfort this frightened young lady, and greeted her graciously,
“Good evening.”
Yun Yuwan recognized him, the handso guy who frequently appeared beside Wen Yangzhi, “Hello.”
Jiang Jianqing smiled lightly, “I’m sorry I couldn’t introduce you to Yingyu, we’ll make sure you et next ti.”
She was puzzled, “Yingyu… who is that?”
He was surprised that she was unaware of the purpose of this dance.
The main character didn’t even know it was a matchmaking event.
And it was their first eting.
He changed the subject and avoided discussing it, smiling, “Actually, your brother left two hours ago, you could have co out imdiately, don’t be afraid of his anger.”
She hesitated, touching the necklace on her neck, “My brother probably thinks I wore it too ostentatiously, he told
to stay inside.”
Jiang Jianqing’s gaze landed on the necklace, “Did your brother say how to deal with the necklace afterward?”
“Deal with the necklace?” Yun Yuwan was a bit stunned, “My brother said it was a gift for .”
She was bewildered, seemingly completely unaware that the necklace was originally ant to be given to Zhou Xing.
Jiang Jianqing was surprised.
Yangzhi hadn’t ntioned it to her.
That ant Yangzhi actually hadn’t reprimanded her.
It turned out Yangzhi didn’t dislike his sister that much and even had a protective affection for her.
Such an important necklace, given away just like that.
Even though she had made a mistake.
This was far beyond Jiang Jianqing’s expectations.
This necklace was no trivial matter, and if a subordinate had made such a mistake, Yangzhi would likely have been furious.
A fifty million error, definitely not just settled by spending fifty million.
It might not even be recoverable, since the necklace was unique and Zhou Xing was such an important person, who was poached from the Swiss Bank by Yangzhi himself.
He thought Yangzhi had lectured Yun Yuwan thoroughly.
