"Hello, Xiao Jin, my na is Bai Yiran." Bai Yiran took the initiative to greet Xiao Jin. Having been married to Leng Yichen for so long, Bai Yiran was already quite comfortable in such situations.
Xiao Jin wasn’t shy either and nodded generously at Bai Yiran, "My full na is Fang Jin, how about I just call you Yiran from now on?"
"Sure." Bai Yiran smiled sweetly and gently, while Xiao Jin’s face lost a bit of color.
"Let the girls chat together, and we’ll go over there to discuss the upcoming tripartite cooperation with Old Xu and the others," Chairman Liu spoke up. Discussions on cooperation were always inevitable at such receptions.
As the leader of Huai International, Leng Yichen had no choice but to participate in such discussions. He was worried that taking Bai Yiran over might bore her.
"Are you okay with it?" Leng Yichen asked Bai Yiran gently, concern filling his eyes.
"Hmm, it’s fine, Xiao Jin will accompany ." Bai Yiran smiled as she looked at Xiao Jin. The elders hoped for a harmonious relationship between the two of them, so even for appearances, Bai Yiran would give the elders this face.
Upon hearing Bai Yiran ntion her na, Xiao Jin snapped back to reality and smiled, "Right, right! I’ve got it! Today is my ho turf, I’ll definitely take good care of Yiran."
Bai Yiran smiled at Xiao Jin, "Hear that? I’m fine, you go ahead."
"Okay." Leng Yichen kissed Bai Yiran on the cheek before letting go of her hand that he had been holding all along.
Chairman Liu imdiately teased, "I say Old Leng, your son and daughter-in-law are really lovey-dovey!"
Leng Liewei smirked, "Then you haven’t seen these two at ho; even I, an old guy, can’t stand it!"
The two old fellows joked as they walked ahead, with Leng Yichen and Chairman Liu’s son following behind.
Xiao Liu looked back at Bai Yiran and said to Leng Yichen, "Mr. Leng, your wife is really beautiful!"
Originally, Xiao Liu intended to complint Bai Yiran’s beauty to flatter Leng Yichen, but he was imdiately silenced by a stern glare from Leng Yichen, not daring to say another word about Bai Yiran.
Xiao Jin looked towards the direction where the n had left, then turned to Bai Yiran, her tone filled with envy. "I must say, Mr. Leng really pampers you."
Bai Yiran smiled, "You’re newly married, how co you’re envying us already."
Xiao Jin’s eyes darkened as she looked at the back of her own husband, then turned to Bai Yiran, "Let’s go sit over there, I’ll introduce you to so sisters."
Xiao Jin wasn’t exactly a daughter from a prestigious family; she married into the Liu family due to family constraints. Chairman Liu and Xiao Jin’s father were old friends, and he liked Xiao Jin, forcing his son to marry her. Two young people without love being forced together in a marriage likely wouldn’t be happy.
These were things Bai Yiran learned later. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have said those words to Xiao Jin, nor would she have incurred Xiao Jin’s jealousy because of that single sentence.
Although what followed was just a little episode at the reception.
Xiao Jin linked arms with Bai Yiran and headed to the round table in the center of the reception, which had food suitable for won, and was surrounded entirely by ladies.
Xiao Jin coquettishly wanted to introduce Bai Yiran to everyone, "This is..."
Before Xiao Jin could finish her sentence, a lady who recognized Bai Yiran already stepped forward to greet her, "Isn’t this Mr. Leng’s wife? It’s been ages since we last t!"
"Long ti no see, how have you all been?"
Xiao Jin had only recently married into the Liu family and had not previously appeared in these circles of ladies. Having been married for quite so ti, Bai Yiran often appeared among these ladies, even if not close, she was still recognized.
Xiao Jin seed a bit awkward, her face not looking too good.
