Good Morning, Mister Dragon!

Some people were just born with an air of elegance. It was impossible for others to cultivate it no matter how hard they tried. Despite being far away from Long Sijue, who was clad in a well-ironed suit, she could feel the vigor of his aura. His gaze was confident and dignified, like that of a king’s. Like a slumbering cheetah, he was striking and elegant, yet there was a surge of powerful energy lurking beneath his poised exterior.

Long Sijue’s fiancée, Lan Qingcheng was by his side. She was wearing a long silk gown which was sapphire in colour. The V-shaped neckline of the gown revealed her alluring cleavage. Her jewelry, which was worth millions, as well as the exquisite makeup on her face made her glow from head to toe. She shone brightly like a star from the inside out.

When she stood next to Long Sijue, the two of them looked like Romeo and Juliet. They were truly a match made in heaven.

For some reason, Su Qianxun felt a pang in her chest at the sight of them. An unexplainable and unfamiliar feeling engulfed her. She could not understand why he had asked her to go there, given the occasion and the fact that his fiancée was present.

Long Sijue spotted her too. As their eyes met accidentally, the man furrowed his eyebrows slightly. There was a hint of displeasure in his sharp black eyes.

Su Qianxun’s breath froze. ‘Wasn’t he the one who asked me to come? Why is he unhappy to see me?’

Lan Qingcheng spotted Su Qianxun as well. When she saw the young woman’s shabby attire, a hint of mockery flashed past her eyes. She took the initiative to hold Long Sijue’s arm and pretended to be confused as she said, “Eh, isn’t that Miss Su? Is she here to attend the banquet too?”

Long Sijue had already taken out his cell phone by then. He dialed Su Qianxun’s number.

Lan Qingcheng turned to look at her cousin, Lan Yingying in the distance and gestured at her. Lan Yingying instantly got the message and walked towards Su Qianxun, dragging her two besties along.

More and more people were gathering around Su Qianxun to take a look at her. She felt incredibly embarrassed. When her phone rang, she was startled. She quickly took her cell phone out of her bag and answered the call.

“Hello, I…”

The moment Su Qianxun started speaking, Long Sijue interrupted her harshly, “Who gave you the permission to come here? Get out of this place immediately!”

The young woman’s breath froze. She looked at the finely-dressed ladies and young women around her who were staring at her like she was a circus monkey. She then looked at Long Sijue in the distance. When she saw the look of indifference on his face, she was overwhelmed with shame.

She could sense the annoyance in his voice. He sounded as if she was not welcomed there at all. ‘But he was the one who asked me to come over in the first place!’

Su Qianxun hung up, turned around and was about to leave, but Lan Yingying and the two young women beside her stood in Su Qianxun’s way.

“Qianxun, it’s really you. It’s been a while. Why are you leaving so soon? Since you’re already here, why don’t you hang out with us?” Lan Yingying held her by the arm with enthusiasm.

“I’ll pass. I have something else to attend to.” Su Qianxun tried to withdraw her arm, but Lan Yingying tightened her grip and refused to let Su Qianxun go.

“I say, Yingying, since when did you have such a shabby friend?”

Lan Yingying’s friends were staring at Su Qianxun in disdain.

“I know right? Why is she attending a banquet in such an attire? Does she think that she’s Cinderella? She probably watched too many Disney shows and is here to find a rich boyfriend.”

“Did the security guards do their jobs? Why did they even let her in? It’s such an insult to us classy people!”

After the young women started the commotion, the people around began to whisper among themselves as well. As it appeared, they seemed to think that Su Qianxun had snuck into the banquet hall through unsavory tactics to seduce rich men. Their remarks grew harsher and harsher.

“Don’t sprout nonsense. Even though Qianxun’s family has gone bankrupt, she is not someone without class.” Lan Yingying pretended that she was upset by her friends’ remarks as she defended Su Qianxun.

“Yingying, don’t be so naive. Young women these days are capable of many things. They’d do anything to end up in a rich man’s bed.”

“Right? Look at her face. She’s a total seductress. It only took me one glance to know that she’s up to no good!”

The people around them began to gossip and criticize Su Qianxun. Lan Yingying was incredibly happy to see that.

Long Sijue continued to converse with the people in front of him, as if he did not notice what was going on at the hall entrance at all. When Lan Qingcheng saw that, she smiled contentedly. ‘You would need to work a lot harder to snatch my man away from me!’
