Chapter 54: The Gentleness in His Eyes

The short black dress perfectly accentuated Yan Xiruo’s exquisite figure. The exposed skin was white and smooth, like a superior piece of jade. Her legs were long and straight. Ye Juemo was slightly distracted by her standing there in a graceful and quiet manner.

Seeing that Ye Juemo wasn’t saying anything, Yan Xiruo inexplicably felt a trace of nervousness in her heart. She was afraid that he would think she wasn’t good-looking.

“Master Jue, if this outfit isn’t good, I can get a new gown for Ms. Yan,” the salesgirl said carefully.

Ye Juemo stood up from the sofa and raised his hand casually. “Let’s go!”

After hesitating for a while, Yan Xiruo held on to Ye Juemo’s arm.

…

Yan Xiruo followed Ye Juemo to the entrance of the banquet hall. She was stunned and looked at the man with a cold profile in puzzlement. “Aren’t we going to eat something?”

Ye Juemo ignored Yan Xiruo and continued to walk ahead with her. When the bodyguard who had previously blocked Yan Xiruo from entering saw Ye Juemo, he bowed respectfully and gestured a “please” with his hands.

Yan Xiruo didn’t need to find Chu Keren now and naturally didn’t want to enter. If Lu Jingchen saw her with another man, she didn’t know if he would count both new and old hatred on her.

She had seen clearly Lu Jingchen’s character. It was alright if he was fooling around outside every day. However, once she did something wrong to him, he would be like a lunatic, losing all rationality.

“He has already left.” Seeing through Yan Xiruo’s thoughts, Ye Juemo let his cold and low voice travel over. “At this hour, only the banquet hall has something to eat.”

Yan Xiruo pulled her hand back from Ye Juemo’s arm. She smiled sweetly. “Ok, I’ll enter since he’s not in.” However, her intention for entering was to eat something and not to be his female companion. It wouldn’t be good if people misunderstood them.

Ye Juemo looked at the slender figure who walked forward after getting rid of him. A trace of soft helplessness was revealed in his deep eyes.

There were two long tables full of delicious food in the banquet hall. After Yan Xiruo filled her plate, she stood in a corner with the food.

As she ate, she swept her eyes lightly over the banquet hall.

Indeed, she didn’t see Lu Jingchen. However, she didn’t see Chu Keren either. Her gaze landed on Ye Juemo, who became everyone’s focal point once he entered. One of his hands was in his trousers’ pocket while the other was holding a glass of red wine. There were a few people in suits and leather shoes chatting with him. He looked noble and cold. Even if he didn’t do anything, he could charm a lot of girls at once.

Yan Xiruo noticed that ever since he entered, there’d been a few women dressed luxuriously who were casting their admiring eyes on him.

“Do you see that? Ye Shasha fancies that man.”

“Ye Shasha is ranked number one in the upper-class society. Not only is she beautiful, but her movements are also extremely noble and elegant. A lot of rich kids in our circle fantasize about having sex with her!”

“Yes. I heard that she’s always had a crush on that man.”

“That man looks so handsome and cool! However, he has a cold temperament. Only Ye Shasha would dare to strike up a conversation with him.”

When Yan Xiruo took some food again, she accidentally heard the chatter between the two women. She looked up and saw a woman wearing an off-shoulder fishtail skirt walking up to Ye Juemo.

Not only was Ye Shasha pretty, but her figure was also fantastic. Fishtail skirts had high requirements toward a woman’s hips and legs. When Ye Shasha wore it, she looked flawless.
