Chapter 47 -47: Am I not a Man? Want to Test It?

Zhu Qianying was very clear that in a situation like this, as the party involved, the more panicked she was, the worse it would be.

After all, in the eyes of people like Yan, the situation he saw was akin to uncovering an illicit affair.

Therefore, the calmer she was, the stronger an aura of “the innocent will naturally prove their innocence” she could convey. Conversely, if she was the first to fall into disarray, even if Yan wasn’t initially skeptical, he might be misled by her.

Of course, clarifying her relationship with them would not be difficult if only Xing Bailun didn’t spoil things like he just did.

“Friends?” Yan quickly assessed the young men in front of him. “A gathering of the rich second-generation?”

The question itself was simple, but everyone in the room saw the skepticism and disdain hidden within.

The four men under suspicion were all between twenty-five and twenty-six years old. Among them, Xing Bailun was the oldest and held the most power within their families.

“Yan, apart from a gathering, what else does this look like?”

Other young masters were somewhat intimidated by Yan, except for Xing Bailun, who dared to dismissively question him.

Indeed, the situation in the VIP room was no more chaotic than those in other VIP rooms.

In fact, it appeared to be even more organized and clean.

On a long coffee table stood several bottles of wine and glasses, an ice bucket, two fruit platters, more than ten small dishes, several dice cups, poker cards spread across the table, and a sofa littered with everyone’s discarded coats and cushions. Nothing else suggesting any hints of ambiguous or inappropriate behavior could be found.

In response to Xing Bailun’s obvious taunt, Yan didn’t even bother replying. Instead, he turned his attention back to Zhu Qianying.

After he gave her a once-over, he said, “So, you have such affluent friends? I thought someone of your status would be avoided by the young masters and misses from other aristocratic families!”

Zhu Qianying suppressed her urge to kick him, pulling a smile onto her face.

“Indeed, someone like me managed to hobnob with the sons of some of the ten wealthiest tycoons, and even you, Yan. So are you saying that I’m impressive or that you lack discernment?”

Zhu Qianying would not hold back when provoked, especially when someone made her birth a matter of discussion.

So, the originally docile and polite Zhu Qianying suddenly lashed out due a single comment from Yan.

Everyone in the room, whether it was the three young masters, Qin Xiu, or even Xing Bailun, could not believe that Zhu Qianying dared to speak to Yan with that tone and irreverence.

Qin Xiu could not hide his astonishment and quickly interjected to mediate. After all, in the past half a month, he had realized the affection the Yan elders had for Zhu Qianying; making peace was inevitable to avoid being caught in the Yan family’s conflicts in the future.

However, before he could say anything, Yan stepped toward Zhu Qianying, forcing her to step back to avoid hitting him.

Both of them locked eyes; he advancing as she retreated until she had nowhere else to go, her back against the wall. Yan finally stopped a few centimeters away from her, looking down at her.

“Do you think that I’m blind?”

With a huff, Yan braced his hand against the wall, trapping Zhu Qianying within his arm; from outside, it looked like a domineering CEO cornering a helpless woman.

Zhu Qianying felt her ears ringing and her face shifting.

“So? Yan, being high and mighty as you are, why are you bothering with someone as lowly and despicable as me? What does it matter to you whether I’m here to have fun with friends or to fool around?”

After Zhu Qianying finished speaking, she turned her face to the wall and glanced meaningfully at Xing Bailun, “Aaron, you guys go ahead. Don’t let my problems bother you.”

Zhu Qianying was furious, or else she wouldn’t have publicly challenged Yan’s authority.

As expected, Yan’s face stiffened as he fixed a hard gaze on her, “Qin Xiu, close the door!”

His command was clear; without his consent, no one, not even a fly, could leave the room.

“Show some class, Yan, these innocent people have nothing to do with our issues. What kind of man are you?”

Zhu Qianying’s tone became harsher as she spoke. Right now, she just wanted to make it clear that Xing Bailun and the others weren’t involved. Everything else, she would slowly settle with this brute.

“Whether I’m a man or not, you’ll find out soon enough. Or do you want to find out right now?”

Obviously, Zhu Qianying’s provocation had no effect on Yan.

Zhu Qianying momentarily paused; why did she forget that he was an unpredictable man who didn’t play by the rules? Provocations weren’t always successful on him.

“So, are you scared?” Yan looked satisfied with his advantage, his tone was full of provocation and contempt.

Xing Bailun, who’d been observing and enduring from the side, saw Zhu Qianying now had the lower hand and couldn’t contain himself any longer. He rushed over to intervene, trying to pull Yan away.

“Ying Zi, don’t mind him. Let’s go!”

Yan’s face darkened and with a movement of his hand, easily swatted Xing Bailun’s attempt to interfere, and his voice suddenly dropped.

“Go? Mr. Xing, are we on the same page here? Zhu Qianying is my fiancée. Leave with you? Is that challenging my authority or trying to make a fool out of me?”

At Yan’s words, Zhu Qianying inwardly panicked.

Her eyes gave Xing Bailun a complicated look and she let out a sigh of helplessness.

Whether it was herself or Xing Bailun, they both struggled to keep their composure.

Looking forward, she only saw one way out.

That was to take a gamble and protect her friends with herself.

After all, the last barrier between her and Yan would have been broken sooner or later.

Moreover, if she and Yan were to have a substantial relationship, their relationship would finally be cemented rather than being in its current state where she was constantly worried about his mood swings.

Of course, in an ideal world, she would prefer to stay masked as long as possible. After all, her relationship with Yan was a deal, and it was best for both sides to fulfill their obligations.

However, the crisis at hand wasn’t about her safety, but the safety of her friends.

How much power Yan held in L City was unclear. Some say that even if the ten wealthiest tycoons joined forces, they wouldn’t even come close to Yan’s level of power.
