CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 61: TO WEAR BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES

"Let me see, let me see." Lin Huai Shu also came over.

He looked down, then looked carefully, and suddenly said, "Damn! That’s really the little sister-in-law. The guy next to her is Wei Jiye, right?"

Chu Zhengran glanced at Gu Yanjing’s cold expression and asked, "Who is Wei Jiye?"

"Head of the music department at Xi Mei Media," Lin Huai Shu said, "This guy is impressive, definitely a musical genius. Because of him, the music department at Xi Mei Media is rolling in money."

Mentioning money, Lin Huai Shu’s tone was full of envy.

Xi Mei Media’s major artist training is divided into two parts.

One is the music department, and the other is the film and television department.

Without mentioning anything else about the film department, just Qin Xia alone can sustain the whole company.

The music department has Wei Jiye.

Whether it’s singing, dancing, groups, solo singers, or composition rights, it’s almost all supported by Wei Jiye.

Moreover, this music department was set up specifically for Wei Jiye.

"A top-tier among top-tiers. The popularity, the traffic, the fame," Lin Huai Shu introduced, "He has a good reputation, but he speaks very little and is quite aloof. Never leeches onto anyone."

Gu Yanjing looked silently below, but everyone could feel the chill around him getting heavier.

"Originally, Wei Jiye applied to Lin Entertainment. Back then, Xi Mei Media didn’t even exist," Lin Huai Shu lamented, "But, the HR department idiots just brushed off his resume. I’ve lost so much profit over these years. Without him, Xi Mei Media wouldn’t have been able to compare with Lin Entertainment so quickly. But how did the little sister-in-law know him, they seem quite familiar. I’ve met Wei Jiye a few times, and I’ve never seen him so familiar with anyone."

Gu Yanjing rubbed his hand at his side.

He watched Qiao Yuxian laugh and chat with that person.

From his angle, it looked like their hands were almost touching.

...

Downstairs

Both Qiao Yuxian and Wei Jiye sat on single sofas, but the single sofas were close together.

They had their hands out, discussing... Xiao Liuren.

The discussion involved relationships.

Wei Jiye gently said, "Same palaces mean there’s a third person. Same earth and human palaces refer to the hexagram master liking two people..."

Qiao Yuxian held out her fingers, listening intently.

Seeing her this attentive, a smile flashed through Wei Jiye’s eyes, he lowered his gaze and continued talking to her.

He occasionally pointed at her fingers from a slight distance.

"What are you two talking about? So engrossed." Qin Xia came back, holding a glass of wine and a glass of juice, "Didn’t know if you wanted any, didn’t bring one for you."

Wei Jiye politely smiled and said, "I don’t drink."

Qin Xia gave the juice to Qiao Yuxian, and placed her own glass of wine aside, "What are you two doing?"

"Reading hexagrams," Qiao Yuxian said, "All done?"

"Yeah," Qin Xia said, "Just an interview. I came over once it was quiet. It’ll get crowded soon. What hexagram are you reading? Let me see something about my love life, see if I can have any peach blossoms this year."

As she spoke, she extended her hand in front of the two of them.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her hand and said carelessly, "Your love life is quite rough. Zigzagging, zigzagging, zigzag and more zags."

Wei Jiye chuckled.

Qin Xia said, "...... What nonsense! The fortune teller said I have the fate to marry into a wealthy family, and that I’m going to..."

She didn’t finish her sentence as she heard footsteps approaching.

The three of them turned their heads to look.

The man approaching was in an expensive suit, tall and strikingly beautiful.

But his aura... it felt like a dark cloud pressed against them.

Wei Jiye sensed the hostility from the man and was the first to stand up.

Qin Xia frowned slightly and also stood up.

Only Qiao Yuxian remained seated on the sofa, watching Gu Yanjing approach step by step, she slowly moved to let Qin Xia and Wei Jiye cover her somewhat.

She truly hadn’t planned on coming.

It was just because she wanted to wear something pretty.

Gu Yanjing stopped in front of Qin Xia and Wei Jiye, his gaze fell on Qiao Yuxian’s exposed shoulder.

The shoulder shape was beautiful, petite, fair, and smooth. Sleek but not fragile, just right in every way.

Under the black straps, it appeared both sexy and eye-catching.

Noticing his gaze, Wei Jiye shifted to fully block Qiao Yuxian behind him.

Gu Yanjing couldn’t see her anymore, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Gu, is there something you need?" Qin Xia asked with a smile.

She’d met Gu Yanjing before, but this was the first time talking to him.

Unsure what upset this big shot, judging by the situation, it seemed there would be a tough battle tonight.

Listening to Qin Xia address him, Wei Jiye paused obscurely.

He hadn’t expected to meet someone like Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing glanced at Qin Xia, then shifted his gaze to Wei Jiye.

Wei Jiye bore his icy presence, sensing the direct hostility toward himself.

The three stood there, and time seemed to pause, even the music from the venue faded into the background.

No one spoke.

Qiao Yuxian shifted again, aligning a path, intending to run.

But this intention seemed to be noticed.

Though blocked, Gu Yanjing couldn’t see her, but at the moment she intended to run, he spoke up: "Qiao Yuxian."

The voice was chilly, as if an ice spike pierced one’s heart.

Qin Xia gasped, and Wei Jiye frown slightly, his hand clenched at his side.

Qiao Yuxian jolted, her little shoulder twitching.

Perhaps all were intimidated by Gu Yanjing.

After a couple of seconds, Qin Xia and Wei Jiye snapped back, then both turned to look at Qiao Yuxian, staring at her.

Both faces filled with confusion.

With no one blocking her anymore, Qiao Yuxian looked at them, then tentatively lifted her eyes to Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing’s expression was the same as usual, but the intensity was somewhat scorching.

She looked at him, fluttered her eyelashes twice, then revealed an adorable smile, saying, "Mr. Gu, you’re here too. What a coincidence."

Qin Xia stared at her more intensely, determined to get an explanation.

Wei Jiye stood on the other side, glanced at Qiao Yuxian’s expression, then lowered his gaze, stepping back a bit.

Qiao Yuxian’s hair was pinned back with a claw clip, leaving a strand behind her ear curled. A long silver tassel hung from the claw clip.

Her face lightly made up, enhancing her already alluring features with an extra touch of enchantment.

Her collarbones, shoulders, all stunningly beautiful.

Her whole demeanor was languid, gentle yet elegantly seductive.

Yet there she sat, smiling obediently at Gu Yanjing.

Teasingly captivating.

Gu Yanjing’s fingertips twitched, but in the end, he couldn’t bear to be harsh with her.

After watching her for a while, he took off his suit jacket, approached, and draped it over her.

He even carefully adjusted the jacket, covering her thoroughly.

With the proximity, Qiao Yuxian caught a whiff of Gu Yanjing’s scent. She looked up at him, seeing he seemed unanger, and began, "I didn’t want to wear this outfit."

Gu Yanjing watched her, his expression slightly severe.

Qiao Yuxian pouted, her voice somewhat smaller, "It doesn’t look good when covered. I came to wear pretty clothes."

Gu Yanjing watched her a while longer, stubbornly adjusting her jacket again, saying, "Got it."

Qiao Yuxian: "???

Got it? Got what?

And Qin Xia stood to the side, watching Gu Yanjing’s series of actions, her brain seemed to shut down without reacting.

Who is she?

Where is she?

What did she just witness?
