"This is the main bidding scope of the Ye Group, along with the regulations..." Jin Chenye was with Ye Mingmei, carefully explaining the bidding examples to her, his speech unhurried, his gentle voice comforting.

At first, Ye Mingmei could listen attentively, but later on, the intense gaze following her from behind made her back tense, and she couldn’t focus.

Finally, she managed to glance back when Jin Chenye wasn’t paying attention.

Her eyes fell on Yu Xiuzhun not far away, and when she saw the woman standing next to him, her eyes tightened.

It was Yang Meilan.

The eldest miss of the Yang family who liked Yu Xiuzhun.

She hadn’t appeared for so long, Ye Mingmei thought they were no longer in touch.

The detestable man, pretending in front of her, yet scheming behind her back.

Typical of having one in the bowl, while eyeing the pot, despicable!

Ye Mingmei stomped her foot hard, but her sneakers did nothing to assertiveness.

Why did she listen to this vile man, abandoning her high heels? Ye Mingmei angrily glared in Yu Xiuzhun’s direction, almost rushing up to question him.

"Mingmei, what are you looking at so intently? I called you several times, and you didn’t respond." Jin Chenye walked to her side, looking at her in puzzlement.

Following Ye Mingmei’s gaze, he quickly saw Yu Xiuzhun standing in the wine area.

His eyes flickered slightly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"N-nothing." Ye Mingmei snapped out of it, secretly annoyed at herself for caring about Yu Xiuzhun’s matters, she turned her head guiltily, pulling Jin Chenye along, wanting to leave.

"..."

Jin Chenye lowered his eyes to her hand holding his, lightly pursing his thin lips without exposing her.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Yu Xiuzhun was striding toward them, ignoring Jin Chenye, his gaze directly on the uneasy-looking Ye Mingmei, "Are you tired and want to go back? I’ll take you home."

"Mr. Yu, the party has just begun, it’s too early to leave now. You haven’t attended such events for a long time, and this party is hosted by the Yang family. Let me introduce it to you properly."

Before Ye Mingmei could speak, Yang Meilan who was beside Yu Xiuzhun spoke first.

In her gaze at Yu Xiuzhun, there was an undisguised admiration.

Even though Yu Xiuzhun had rejected her and didn’t take her seriously, she couldn’t resist his charm in front of such an outstanding man.

Having found out that Yu Xiuzhun hadn’t attended parties recently, she tried everything but couldn’t find a way to approach him.

When the invitation to the bidding party was sent, the Yu family declined. Yang Meilan was disappointed for a long time, only to receive unexpected news of Yu Xiuzhun’s attendance. She didn’t even have time to touch up her makeup and rushed here immediately.

"No need, I’m not interested." Yu Xiuzhun coldly parted his lips, shooting Yang Meilan a sidelong glance, he pushed off her arm that was holding his, reached out to pull over Ye Mingmei, and walked toward the exit.

"If you have things to do, go attend to them. I don’t need your concern; the senior will see you off..."

"I like worrying about you!" Yu Xiuzhun interrupted Ye Mingmei’s refusal, more than anyone else delighted at her intent to leave, he would, without a second thought, immediately take her back to rest.

"Mr. Yu can’t even look after his own date, always eager to snatch someone else’s date under his care?" Jin Chenye stood behind, watching Yu Xiuzhun trying to forcibly take Ye Mingmei away, speaking with cold lips.

In his dark eyes, a deep hue swirled.
