On the high-speed train, Ye Beichen had his bangs covering most of his eyebrows.

After changing into a suit, a stylist even did his hair.

With the suit on, he instantly transformed from an adolescent into a young master of a prestigious family!

Especially the indifference and coldness deep in Ye Beichen's eyes, which almost made Wei Yanran's heart skip a beat: "Ahem... Hello..."

The word "handsome" almost slipped out of her mouth.

"Are we going or not?"

Ye Beichen frowned.

Wei Yanran swallowed hard, nearly caught off guard.

She glared at Ye Beichen in embarrassment and anger: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The charity gala starts at six. We can arrive by five-thirty and still be on time."

"We still have over an hour. Just wait!"

She turned and fled back to her room, leaving Ye Beichen standing alone in the hall.

An hour later, Wei Yanran reappeared.

She had changed into an exquisite evening gown, exuding an extraordinary aura, like a movie star stepping out of the screen.

She descended the villa's spiral staircase.

Ye Beichen sat on the sofa, not even lifting his eyelids.

'This jerk, can't he see me?'

Wei Yanran was slightly annoyed: "Hey, what's your name?"

Up until now, she didn't know Ye Beichen's name.

"Does it matter?"

"Fine, I won't ask! Let's go!"

Wei Yanran felt a bit deflated and bored.

'He may be handsome, but he's so unappreciative! With such a personality, how can he survive in Dragon Capital? Just a pretty face,' Wei Yanran thought to herself, shaking her head.

The two got into the Rolls-Royce and headed to the charity gala.

Throughout the journey, Ye Beichen remained silent.

Wei Yanran began to doubt herself, thinking: 'Could this guy really be here to see Ye Mingyuan? Ye Mingyuan holds a high status, even higher than my father's in Dragon Capital. How could a kid from Jiangnan know Ye Mingyuan?'

Wei Yanran was puzzled.

By this time, the Rolls-Royce had arrived at the charity gala venue.

After getting out of the car, Wei Yanran warned, "Just find a place to stay put. Ye Mingyuan will show up eventually."

"Alright."

Ye Beichen replied crisply, finding an inconspicuous corner to sit.

Wei Yanran joined a group of young people from Dragon Capital and started chatting.

"Yanran, who's that?"

"He looks quite handsome. Did he come with you?"

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"Hehe, with your high standards, so many people in Dragon Capital pursue you, and you haven't agreed to any. How come you brought a guy to the gala today?"

The girls in Wei Yanran's circle teased with smiles.

They all had great temperaments, daughters of top families.

Either they were born into noble families, with parents holding high positions.

Or they came from prestigious families.

Not a single ordinary person among them!

Wei Yanran replied in annoyance, "I just met him today by chance. Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with him."

Meanwhile, several other young people turned their gaze towards Ye Beichen!

"Who is that guy, and why did he come with Miss Wei?"

"Yeah! He doesn't seem like he's from our circle!"

"Could he be a fresh face from the entertainment industry?"

"Why would Miss Wei like someone like that?"

"How can this guy compare to us, like Shaoyang?"

A few young people discussed, shaking their heads.

Their eyes landed on a young man sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine.

Qin Shaoyang.

From the third branch of the Qin family in Dragon Capital.

One of the four young masters of Dragon Capital!

It was well known that he was also one of the suitors of Wei Yanran in the Dragon Capital circle!

Wei Yanran was the young lady of the Wei family in Dragon Capital, deeply cherished by Old Master Wei.

How could an ordinary person tame this phoenix on a branch?

Wei Yanran had never been involved in any scandals, let alone had a boyfriend.

But today, bringing a young man to an important charity gala, who would believe there was nothing between them?

"Test him out."

Qin Shaoyang spoke coldly.

A young man named Zhou Zong smiled, "Shall I handle him?"

"Don't make too much of a scene."

Qin Shaoyang smiled, taking a sip of red wine.

"Don't worry about my work."

With Qin Shaoyang's approval, Zhou Zong felt confident.

Otherwise, at such a high-level charity gala, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

If he upset those big shots, even the Zhou family would suffer.

But with Qin Shaoyang's words, he felt assured!

Ye Beichen found the most secluded spot to sit, trying not to draw attention.

He just wanted to wait for Ye Mingyuan to appear!

'Every waiter here is almost a Heaven-Rank Martial Artist! The security at the door is disguised as Grandmaster martial artists! There are at least a dozen Grandmasters hidden in the shadows! Ordinary people have no idea there's even a military presence outside, solid as a rock. Is this Dragon Capital? At least thirty Grandmasters at a charity gala.'

Ye Beichen thought to himself.

Within five minutes of being there, he had pinpointed the positions of all the Martial Grandmasters.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"Tap, tap, tap."

The sound of leather shoes reached his ears.

Zhou Zong approached from a distance.

Ye Beichen frowned, trouble coming?

"It's Zhou Zong!"

Wei Yanran's group of friends also noticed Zhou Zong heading towards Ye Beichen.

"Yanran, Zhou Zong is not someone to mess with. Your little boyfriend is in trouble," one girl laughed.

Wei Yanran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she snorted softly, "He's got quite a temper. Let him suffer a bit here; it'll make his life easier in the future!"

She didn't believe Ye Beichen would dare to make a move here.

Although he was quite skilled.

By this time, Zhou Zong had already reached Ye Beichen.

Looking down from above!

He looked down at Ye Beichen, his tone arrogant: "Kid, what's your background? You have three seconds to report."

"Scram."

Ye Beichen said just one word.

Zhou Zong was furious, his voice cold: "What did you say?"

"Wow, is that really your little boyfriend? Are you just going to let him get bullied?" another girl exclaimed.

Wei Yanran rolled her eyes, "I told you, he's not my boyfriend."

"Oh, what about in the future?" a girl asked.

"In the future... hehe, depends on his performance," Wei Yanran paused, then suddenly chuckled.

"Huh?"

The girls were all taken aback.

They were indeed joking!

Teasing Wei Yanran.

Everyone could see that Wei Yanran couldn't possibly fancy Ye Beichen.

But no one expected Wei Yanran to respond like that.

While the girls were in a daze.

"Smack—!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

Zhou Zong flew out like a dead dog, crashing into several wine tables, landing on the ground.

His face swelled like a pig's head, eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth!

"Ah!"

Wei Yanran's friends, still discussing Ye Beichen, were startled by the sudden turn of events.

"What?"

Wei Yanran's pupils contracted, not expecting Ye Beichen to dare make a move here.

Qin Shaoyang's face darkened, staring intently at Ye Beichen!

He never imagined that a young man, seemingly out of nowhere, would dare to hit someone here?

"What's going on?"

"Why are they fighting?"

Some of the wealthy and prestigious figures from Dragon Capital, as well as top-tier celebrities, looked over in astonishment.

Ye Beichen also sensed that some of the martial artist waiters and hidden Grandmasters were converging towards him.
