Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766: Chapter 767: Means of Dealing with a Love Rival

During the banquet, Shangguan Yunli, who emerged from the crowd with a wine glass in hand, couldn’t help but take a sip of his drink as he watched the perfectly in-sync couple dancing in the ballroom, his peach-blossom eyes curving.

It looked like Tingshen had really fallen this time, he had never seen him look at anyone with such an intoxicated and focused gaze before.

He really didn’t understand why Ye Xian was so unmoved. Even for himself, were he pursued by such an outstanding man, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be tempted to sway.

Perhaps... Ye Xian was only angry and acting out because of his sudden intrusion earlier, purposefully uttering those harsh words to cover up his true feelings?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted Tingshen’s closeness without resistance and even accepted it gladly.

Mouths can lie, but bodies never do.

That was his mistake then.

Since he had ruined Tingshen’s opportunity, he ought to make up for it properly.

Create another chance?

An idea quickly formed in Shangguan Yunli’s mind.

As he put down his glass and turned around, he saw a woman behind him staring intently at the dance floor, her expression ugly.

"Miss Luo?"

Luo Yuwei came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Young Master Shangguan."

Shangguan Yunli followed her previous gaze for a moment and then turned back, catching the rapidly withdrawn brilliance in her eyes, a clear sign of barely concealed jealousy.

"Excuse me, I have something to attend to, I must take my leave."

Luo Yuwei gathered her skirt and turned to leave, but after just a few steps, she heard an idle voice from behind her, "Miss Luo is so clever, you should know that instead of focusing on someone who doesn’t belong to you, it’s better to look forward to a beautiful future, isn’t it?"

Luo Yuwei’s steps faltered, and her grip on her dress tightened ever so slightly.

After a long pause, she said nothing and simply walked away.

Someone who doesn’t belong to her?

But she had been there first, it was he who appeared out of nowhere, stealing what was rightfully hers, so why did everyone else want her to give up now...

"Young Master Lin."

In the southwest corner, Cary was going on and on complaining to Jiang Wanze and Lin Yan about Ye Xian when Pang Kai suddenly approached.

Cary: "Brother Jiang used to say that some people turn bad once they become famous, but I didn’t believe it. Now I do, and Ye Xian is a living example. He’s become arrogant and full of himself... Hey, Assistant Pang, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Pang Kai: "I’m here for Young Master Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan looked up in confusion.

"May I have a word with Young Master Lin in private?"

"Sure."

Before leading Lin Yan away, Pang Kai offered Cary a friendly ’warning’, "Master Xiao C, in the future, you’d better speak less ill of Ye Xian, especially in front of the CEO, never do that."

Cary: "Why?"

Pang Kai: "The CEO is protective of his people."

Cary: "..." Damn! Had Ye Xian’s relationship with the CEO gotten so good that even Pang Kai, his close confidant, knew about it?!

Pang Kai led Lin Yan over to a band that was set up on the western side of the dance platform. Lin Yan, puzzled by the piano placed before him, asked, "Assistant Pang, what is this about?"

Pang Kai smiled, "President Bo mentioned that he heard you play the piano exceptionally well at the Mid-Autumn gala, and he would like you to accompany his and Ye Xian’s dance with a piece entitled ’Blessing’."

As Lin Yan heard the name ’Blessing’, a fierce wave of emotion stirred deep within his eyes before slowly settling back to calm.
