Chapter 2315 - What if I do have that kind of intention?

When the higher-up saw Ye Wanwan’s gaze landing on his son and surprisingly not looking displeased, hope ignited in his heart, and he advertised his son with increased enthusiasm.

“Ah-Yang, hurry and introduce yourself to Miss Yi!” The higher-up shoved his son.

The youth named Ah-Yang had his lips tightly pursed and his complexion looked ghastly pale as he stood unmoving in his spot.

The higher-up turned anxious. “Why are you foolishly standing there?”

The youth pushed his father away. “Sorry, I have something to do. Please excuse me!”

“You…” The higher-up nearly stomped his feet in anger upon seeing his son dashing away.

He hastily turned to Ye Wanwan and apologized, “I’m truly sorry, Miss Yi. This child is a bit introverted and shy with strangers.”

Ye Wanwan casually replied, “He has quite the character.”

Someone who could remain this frank in the Independent State and especially within a circle like the Arbitration Council was truly a rare sight.

The higher-up didn’t know whether Ye Wanwan’s remark was a compliment or an insult, so he laughed it off and kept apologizing.

However, seeing that Miss Yi didn’t look angry and said his son had character, she probably was satisfied to some degree, right?

That punk was too impertinent, but the higher-up had plenty of methods to make him submit.

He just had to tie that punk up later and send him over to Miss Yi!

His term of office was nearing its end and he might be replaced next term. It would be difficult to ingratiate himself with President Yi, but if he could gain Yi Yunmo’s favor, he’d be able to rest easy.

Throughout the entire night, in order to ensure that Ye Wanwan didn’t have time to seek out Si Yehan, Yi Lingjun acted like a butterfly. He forcefully pulled her and fluttered all over the venue.

Ye Wanwan finally made it to the end of the banquet.

Luxurious cars filled the entrance of the venue and all the prominent figures and higher-ups began to leave.

Ye Wanwan looked around the crowd, but there were too many people, and she couldn’t find a trace of Si Yehan.

Ye Wanwan angrily glared at Yi Lingjun.

Yi Lingjun raised his brows. “Why are you glaring at me, huh? Look at how pitiful you are. He publicly rejected you earlier, alright?”

Ye Wanwan wasn’t irked by that and started gloating instead. “So what if he rejected me? My darling is seriously too handsome when he rejects me, alright?”

Yi Lingjun: “…”

Although he couldn’t stand watching his little disciple being utterly bewitched by and infatuated with a man, Si Yehan performed rather well tonight.

He actually declined such an alluring temptation. Yi Lingjun saw him in a new light.

They had to act out the whole play, so Yi Lingjun had arranged a place for Ye Wanwan to stay already. Ye Wanwan was waiting for a car to pick her up as she searched for Si Yehan.

In the night, she was merely standing there casually, but she was dazzling like the sun, making people unable to look away.

“Miss Yi…”

A man’s voice drifted from behind Ye Wanwan, and she reflexively looked behind her. Yin Heng was standing there.

When faced with people the girl didn’t care about, she didn’t seem to have the desire to utter a single word.

The ignored Yin Heng’s expression quickly returned to normal. He began: “Hello, Miss Yi, I didn’t have time to introduce myself earlier. I’m Yin Heng, Director Si’s adopted brother.”

At the sound of “Director Si’s adopted brother,” the girl finally spared him a glance.

Yin Heng apologized. “Miss Yi, my elder brother has a peculiar personality and is hard to get along with. If he offended you in any way earlier, please forgive him, Miss Yi!”

Yin Heng’s tone shifted, and he explained, “My elder brother has a fiancée already. I heard she’s very controlling and also has a disagreeable disposition, which is why my elder brother rejected your invitation—to avoid causing a misunderstanding.”

Yin Heng chuckled and added, “Heh, of course, my elder brother was overthinking too much. Why would you have that kind of intention toward my elder brother…”

Before Yin Heng could finish speaking, the girl nonchalantly glanced at him. “What if I said I did?”

Yin Heng: “…”
