Translator: 549690339
“Feiyan, don’t cry now…” Huang Xiaolong casually picked up a cocktail from the table next to him, took a big gulp as if he was very thirsty, then chuckled. “Feiyan, do you rember the promise we made… when we… um…”
“Pff… were you talking about sleeping together?” Cui Feiyan reined in her emotions, smiling at him.
“Um… Feiyan… promises made in pinky swears can never change, not for a hundred years.” Huang Xiaolong brazenly said, “Right, right, right, sleep, just sleep…”
“That could be arranged,” Cui Feiyan replied, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “But we’re only allowed to sleep, no funny business allowed.”
“Ah ?got it! I’ll spoon you to sleep, and that’s it.” Huang Xiaolong made a harmless face.
“Like hell I’d believe you.” Cui Feiyan rolled her eyes at Huang Xiaolong, then burst into a sweet smile. She whispered, “Once I finish these tasks… I… I’ll find you…”
In truth, Cui Feiyan was deeply in love with Huang Xiaolong. No matter what he asked of her at this mont – even if it was sothing most unreasonable – she would willingly accommodate him, showering him with adoration.
“Little Long…” Lin Jing walked over, holding up a tall glass. “I had no idea the star of tonight’s gathering would be you. It just goes to show, gold can’t help but glitter. Congratulations on your astronomical earnings today.”
“Sister Jing, it’s simply good luck on my part,” Huang Xiaolong replied, his face beaming.
“Miss Cui, you certainly have good taste,” Lin Jing said, giving Cui Feiyan a aningful look. “A truly unique one, indeed.”
“Thank you for your complints, Miss Lin,” Cui Feiyan responded gracefully, clearly delighted.
Just as they were speaking—
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Applause rang out.
A booming male voice echoed through the hall, calling for silence.
Everyone turned toward the source of the voice, surprised to see it was Lin Zicong.
The leading figure among the Binhai quartet, Lin Zicong.
All eyes in the room turned to him, and gradually the chatter subsided.
“Sister Jing… I think your brother has sothing to announce,” Huang Xiaolong casually said, his smile not betraying any emotion.
Lin Zicong had overstepped his bounds before, threatening Huang Xiaolong to break up with Cui Feiyan, even treating her as a commodity on offer to Gao Tianxiang
Frankly speaking, this had crossed Huang Xiaolong’s line.
If it hadn’t been for Lin Jing’s kindness to Huang Xiaolong, he would have put Lin Zicong in his place long ago, not stopping until he was helpless!
“Little Long, you’re upset with Zicong.” Lin Jing smiled gently. “My little brother has been spoiled since childhood… and has beco sowhat arrogant. Actually, for his benefit, experiencing so hardship and setback might do him good.”
“Oh? Sister Jing, what do you an?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.
“Hehe ?I’m not going to cover for Zicong anymore…” Lin Jing chuckled. “There are always bigger fish and higher skies, it’s ti for him to understand that. Little Long, all I ask is that you don’t overdo it…”
“Hehe, Sister Jing, you’re so open-minded… Don’t worry, I know just what to do.” Huang Xiaolong looked even more excited.
At this mont, Lin Zicong raised his head, speaking loudly. “Tonight’s banquet was hosted by the four major families of Binhai. I’m very grateful to everyone here for coming. I, Lin Zicong, have spent most of my youth training in the military camp and have rarely had the chance to co back to Binhai. Now that I’m back, there’s sothing I would like to announce. It’s a joyous occasion and I hope everyone here can share in my happiness…”
As he finished speaking, Lin Zicong clapped his hands.
A young girl slowly appeared from the side entrance of the banquet hall.
She was dressed in a black V-neck low-cut evening dress, her skin was fair and delicate, her figure tall, her eyebrows lightly drew, and her aura extraordinary.
Her lightly made-up face was breathtaking, appearing rather aloof, and even impatient. The black evening gown made her appear even more distant and inaccessible.
There were many elegant and beautiful won present at the banquet, but when this young girl appeared, the others couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority.
Objectively speaking, among the other won at the banquet, those who could compete with this girl were probably only Lin Jing, Cui Feiyan, Shu Qinghan, and a sparse few others!
This girl was none other than—Sun Wei!
The princess of the Sun Family!
Sun Wei – the rose among the thorns!
Following behind the young lady was Sun Feng.
As Sun Wei entered the banquet hall, her eyes didn’t rest on Lin Zicong. Instead, they searched the room as if looking for soone.
Lin Zicong looked at Sun Wei with an adoring gaze, as if looking at his woman. “Ladies and gentlen, I have an announcent to make… Perhaps you are not aware, Weiwei is actually my fiancée.”
Whisperings echoed through the crowd.
With that statent, the entire hall was astounded.
It turns out, Lin Zicong, the fad number one among Binhai’s elite, actually has a fiancée! And she is none other than the well-circled Sun Wei!
Without a doubt, Sun Wei is a captivating young lady, and she is also reputed to have notable martial arts skills.
With her exceptional background, she makes an ideal match with Lin Zicong. A true ‘perfect pair’!
This combination truly incites envy in others.
Moreover, this union effectively signifies a political alliance, uniting two powerful families.
This announces the alliance of the Lin and Sun families.
In fact, unions amongst Binhai’s four major clans are not uncommon.
“Ah, Young Master Lin and Miss Sun Wei are surely a heavenly match.”
“Only a hero like Young Master Lin is worthy of a princess-like girl like Sun Wei.”
“Miss Sun Wei is not only beautiful but also bold in nature. She is indeed the jewel of Sun’s family. Only a person like Young Master Lin has the substance to take Miss Sun Wei as his wife.”
Unexpectedly!
At this mont, Sun Wei’s eyes turned ice-cold, and frost fell sharply across her beautiful face.
“Lin Zicong, you’ve gone too far!” Sun Wei’s face held a hint of anger. “You called here to announce sothing, but it is this?! When, pray tell, did I beco your fiancée? It was just an offhand comnt made by my grandfather and yours…and you…you took it seriously! I Sun Wei have absolutely nothing to do with you! Stop spouting nonsense!”
With these words, the whole hall was stunned…
Everyone present had been prepared to offer their congratulations, but they never expected Sun Wei to outright deny the statent in such a critical mont.
This denial was nothing less than a slap in the face for the grand Lin Zicong!
Sun Wei was indeed aggrieved, she had hardly seen Lin Zicong since they were children and never had any feelings for him.
Though Lin Zicong was powerful, in Sun Wei’s eyes, he was limited in his greatness.
Moreover, at this mont, a formidable figure was already etched in Sun Wei’s heart.
‘Tch…compared to him, Lin Zicong is nothing more than trash!’
Sun Wei puckered her lips, but her eyes continued to search the hall.
Of course, she was looking for— Huang Xiaolong!
The reason she attended this banquet today was because— Huang Xiaolong was coming!
The reason she changed into a grand evening dress today was because— Huang Xiaolong was coming!
The reason she painstakingly put on makeup and made herself look beautiful today was because— Huang Xiaolong was coming!
Huang Xiaolong, where are you?
