Chapter 943: Secretly Kept a Little Vault
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was hard to say, things like money were safer kept in one’s own pocket.
For her, she had never told Yu Yuehan about the little vault she secretly kept. If she were to make a fortune from her investments in the future, she could even make him her kept man.
She would be a peasant who turned her life around to become a landlord!
Wouldn’t that be a beautiful feeling…
But, seeing how Zheng Yan’s mind was completely at ease about it, she could not possibly make her suspect her own father.
Perhaps, she was being overly sensitive.
“Right, earlier when I told you about the siblings who lived next to us when I was young and often made me jealous, it was Tan Bengbeng and her brother.” Zheng Yan remarked.
“Who?” Nian Xiaomu was stunned.
“Tan Bengbeng and her brother! The adults of the Tan family always seemed to be busy. When I was young, I saw those siblings playing together. Honestly, Tan Bengbeng looks nothing like her brother. But, their characters are absolutely the same. They’re both awfully quiet. They sat together in the courtyard, not to play, but rested against each other’s backs while they read. Occasionally, when Tan Bengbeng had a runny nose, her brother would even help her to wipe it. It was then that I realized that they were two children. After all, an adult would wipe her runny nose herself.”
Zheng Yan sighed as she recalled this.
“…”
Nian Xiaomu wanted to probe further about Tan Bengbeng’s childhood, but the car had already arrived at the hotel.
Yu Yuehan had endured them for the whole journey so, seeing that they had arrived at the hotel, he could no longer hold it in and simply separated the two women who had stuck together all this time.
“The party is to be held in the ballroom on the first floor. We’ll go back to our room to change first.” With that, Yu Yuehan dragged her into the lift and simply closed the lift door.
Zheng Yan did not have the chance to even follow them into the lift.
“Zheng Yan’s a woman, why are you getting jealous of her?” Nian Xiaomu chuckled as she leaned against the wall inside the lift and reached out her finger to poke his handsome-looking face.
Her mischievous finger was instantly grabbed hold of by him.
He darted her a glance and replied, “For a woman who actually said, ‘Why are you so adorable? I’m about to fall for you any moment.’ to my fiancée, I think she’s even scarier than a man.”
“…”
Yu Yuehan went on. “Throughout the whole journey just now, your hands were locked with hers and you never gave me a single glance. Don’t you know that?”
“…”
If she were to clarify now that she was just sympathetic towards what happened to Zheng Yan, it wouldn’t be too late right?
Very obviously, that person did not believe in her clarification.
And successfully listed Zheng Yan as a danger to him!
–
Later on, in the ballroom.
The atmosphere was much lighter than the conference that was previously held.
It was the chance for those virtuous daughters of rich families to make their appearance.
The guests of the party were raising toasts to one another, and it was truly a bustling scene.
After changing into her gown, Nian Xiaomu followed Yu Yuehan downstairs.
At the entrance of the ballroom, they ran into many business partners, and Yu Yuehan was instantly amongst the center of a crowd.
Nian Xiaomu, on the other hand, disliked such social activities, and obediently stood beside him as an empty vessel, turning her head around occasionally to see if Zheng Yan was nearby.
They had arranged to come down together, but why was she nowhere to be seen?
“Let’s go in first. ” Yu Yuehan remarked lightly after gazing at Nian Xiaomu briefly, seemingly having sensed her boredom.
Once his words were spoken, he ignored the other people before him and took her into the ballroom.
It so happened that the party was starting.
Nian Xiaomu had just picked up a glass of champagne when a commotion suddenly started at the other entrance of the ballroom.
“Mo Qian’s here.” Yu Yuehan reminded her softly by her ear.
She abruptly raised her head and at the very end of her gaze, was Mo Qian’s imposing figure. After brushing past countless people, he was heading towards her with every step he took!
When she looked over at him, Mo Qian coincidentally had his head raised as well!
