Chapter 284: Annoying Fly

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If not for the occasion and etiquette, Murong Qiao would have pushed Cheng Jie, who was standing in front of her, aside and told him not to bother her.

“Egan Winery’s precious sweet wine is famous for being like liquid gold.” Cheng Jie seemed to understand wine very well and said it logically.

However, Murong Qiao’s attention wasn’t on him at all, and she didn’t want to hear him talk about alcohol.

She glanced at Cheng Jie and then at Huo Xiuyuan, who was a few steps away.

Huo Xiuyuan was still smiling as he chatted happily with the young lady in front of him. His eyes and lips were filled with smiles, making people subconsciously feel that they were on good terms.

Perhaps sensing Murong Qiao’s impatience, Cheng Jie’s words changed.

He raised his hand as an invitation. “Sorry, 1 was too busy talking about wine just now. It’s almost time for the dance. Shall we dance later?”

His tone was extremely polite and even showcased Cheng Jie’s patience.

After all, in his memory, there was no woman he could not get.

“Sorry, there’s no need to dance. I still have something on,” Murong Qiao finally couldn’t help but say.

Naturally, she wasn’t interested in dancing. She rejected Cheng Jie’s invitation so bluntly that his eyes widened in disbelief.

In fact, if not for the fact that everyone was watching, Murong Qiao could have said even worse things to Cheng Jie.

Murong Qiao was anxious because Huo Xiuyuan was about to disappear from her sight.

She had been observing Huo Xiuyuan’s movements. Seeing that he had finished chatting and walked away, she couldn’t help but want to follow him, but Cheng Jie was blocking her way.

Cheng Jie’s face darkened. “You—”

He wanted to say that Murong Qiao didn’t know what was good for her, but when he thought of how much his father valued Murong Qiao, he swallowed his words.

“Please move aside.” Murong Qiao was also very annoyed.

Seeing that Huo Xiuyuan was about to escape her field of vision, Murong Qiao was furious and stared at Cheng Jie with her dark eyes, wishing she could skin him alive.

She remembered that this person used to like Luo Wanbai, didn’t he? Why didn’t he find a good woman, but he had to come to her to join in the fun?

Murong Qiao took a deep breath and decided that she couldn’t waste any more time with Cheng Jie. If she continued like this, it would be difficult for her to see Huo Xiuyuan again, let alone talk to him.

She frowned and planned to walk between Cheng Jie and the table. Although the space was a little small, it should be enough for her to go over.

“You!” Cheng Jie was furious.

He didn’t expect Murong Qiao to ignore his existence and walk straight ahead.

He didn’t expect Murong Qiao to ignore his existence and walk straight ahead.

He didn’t expect this woman to be so ungrateful. She actually dared to reject him twice.

Murong Qiao didn’t care about his reaction. After passing by Cheng Jie, she walked in the direction that Huo Xiuyuan had just left.

Cheng Jie was naturally unwilling to be shaken off like this. He was so angry that he was stunned for a moment before following Murong Qiao.

The two of them thus ran from the banquet hall to the entrance.

Murong Qiao looked around but couldn’t find Huo Xiuyuan. Her mood worsened.

“… You’re still following me?” She turned around and saw Cheng Jie following behind her.

This side was closer to the entrance of the banquet. At this moment, there was no one else but the two of them, so Murong Qiao was no longer so restrained.

Cheng Jie’s heart skipped a beat at Murong Qiao’s words. “I just sincerely want to invite Young Miss Murong to dance with me.”

Fortunately, he hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit. His rationality reminded himself, and he temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.

It wasn’t easy for him to be by her side. With such an excellent opportunity, Cheng Jie felt that he shouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity to gain Murong Qiao’s favor.

But he didn’t know what went wrong, and Murong Qiao’s obvious behavior made Cheng Jie very frustrated.

“I don’t want to dance,” Murong Qiao rejected coldly.

If she was annoyed with Cheng Jie at first, then his behavior this time had completely aroused Murong Qiao’s disgust for him.

In her eyes, Cheng Jie was at most a buzzing, annoying fly.

Murong Qiao’s obviously cold attitude and Cheng Jie’s dark expression fell into Luo Wanbai’s eyes.

From the moment Murong Qiao walked out of the main door to her conversation with Cheng Jie, she had seen everything clearly. Although she couldn’t hear what they were talking about, her complicated feelings couldn’t lessen at all.

She was here today to wait for Cheng Jie.

Luo Wanbai opened her mouth. “So it’s her.”

Seeing that Murong Qiao was Cheng Jie’s target, she felt that it was only natural. She had eavesdropped on the conversation between Cheng Jie and her father last time and knew that the Cheng family had high hopes for him.

But when she saw Cheng Jie fawning over another woman in front of her and treating her better, she naturally felt upset.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to find my friend.”

Murong Qiao suggested leaving as her last bit of patience was exhausted when she rejected Cheng Jie just now.

Cheng Jie knew that Murong Qiao was talking about An Nuo, but how could he let her go so easily?

His body was a step faster than his brain. Before he could speak, Cheng Jie reached out and grabbed Murong Qiao’s slender wrist with such force that it couldn’t be ignored.

He deliberately lowered his voice, trying to make her stay. “I’m sorry—”

Cheng Jie subconsciously didn’t want Murong Qiao to leave just like that, but he turned around and was about to say something when he saw Luo Wanbai standing not far away.

What was she doing here?

This surprise made Cheng Jie loosen his grip on Murong Qiao for a moment.

Murong Qiao’s face was cold and she didn’t want to talk nonsense with him. Hence, she took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and leave. After breaking free, she even shook her hand as if she had touched some trash.

Cheng Jie didn’t expect Murong Qiao to run away so quickly. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the other party had returned to the banquet.

Helpless, he could only turn his attention to Luo Wanbai.

“What are you doing here?” Cheng Jie walked out and asked.

He walked up to her in a few steps. His tone was far different from the gentleness he had with Murong Qiao just now. The toughness in his tone made Luo Wanbai want to cry.

Luo Wanbai pursed her lips. “I’m waiting for you.”

She could sense that Cheng Jie hadn’t been very attentive to her recently. It could even be said that he had neglected her.

Especially now that Cheng Jie had another woman by his side, she felt even more threatened.

Knowing that he was attending the banquet, she immediately thought that Cheng Jie would have another woman by his side. She couldn’t suppress the restlessness in her heart and came over to wait for him, but she didn’t expect to see the scene between him and Murong Qiao.

“Wait for me?” Cheng Jie frowned.

He had just been rejected by Murong Qiao and happened to have nowhere to vent the anger in his heart.

Luo Wanbai could tell that he was angry and wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth only to fall silent again. However, this made Cheng Jie even angrier.

Why did he think that Luo Wanbai was similar to Murong Qiao back then? How could he be blind enough to like her?

“Since you’ve seen it, let’s break up..”
