Chapter 75: Keep It Together

Chapter 75: Keep It Together

Downstairs, a long wheelbase Rolls Royce radiated a restrained and expensive glow in the setting sun, its body lines smooth and elegant.

Ye Xingchen, with steady steps, walked around to the other side of the car, gracefully and gentlemanly opening the rear door for Qin Wanwan.

Qin Wanwan moved with light steps and entered the car, followed by Ye Xingchen.

Everything looked so beautiful.

The car slowly started, and Gu Shengsheng watched it drive further and further away, her eyes full of disappointment and unwillingness.

Inside the car, Qin Wanwan looked at Ye Xingchen with a smile, asking, “Ye Total, this dress and jewelry you gave me, do they need to be returned afterward?”

Ye Xingchen slightly raised his head, his face with a hint of arrogance.

“Things that I, Ye Xingchen, give away, have never been returned.”

“Oh, Ye Total is so generous, then I won’t be polite!”

With that said, Qin Wanwan put away her smile and asked with a hint of worry, “Do you think tonight’s performance can make Lin Yu realize his feelings?”

Ye Xingchen’s brows furrowed instantly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, “It better, otherwise… this carefully arranged performance will be a complete waste.”

Looking at Ye Xingchen’s serious expression, Qin Wanwan couldn’t help but feel uneasy, silently praying in her heart that everything would go as Ye Xingchen wished.

At this time, Lin Yu arrived at the charity gala with Xia Meng.

Flashes of light flickered like stars, and the sound of shutters clicking was incessant.

Everyone’s attention focused on them, and for a time, there was much discussion:

“Is that Lin Total’s girlfriend? She’s quite pretty.”

“Do you know her?”

“Her? Don’t you know? She’s Xia Meng, the international chief psychological consultant.”

“They really are a perfect match!”

The people around were talking, their words full of envy and admiration.

Just then, a black Rolls Royce slowly stopped at the entrance of the banquet, once again attracting everyone’s attention.

The car door opened, and Ye Xingchen stepped out of the car with a straight posture. He was wearing a tailored black suit, like a nobleman in the dark night, exuding an innate noble temperament.

Then, he gracefully extended his hand, and Qin Wanwan put her hand in his and slowly got out of the car.

Her red evening dress was dazzling and eye-catching under the lights, and standing with Ye Xingchen, their presence was commanding.

A burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd:

“Wow! It’s Ye Xingchen, the Crown Prince of Jing City actually has a girlfriend too!”

“They really are good friends, even their public announcements are on the same day.”

“Ye Total has such good taste, his girlfriend’s temperament is so outstanding.”

The crowd whispered to each other, full of curiosity and enthusiasm for discussing these two perfect couples.

Sharp-eyed media reporters quickly stepped forward, surrounding Ye Xingchen and Qin Wanwan.

One of the reporters held a microphone and asked with enthusiasm, “Ye Total, hello! May I ask who this is?”

Ye Xingchen’s mouth slightly raised, his expression full of doting as he looked at Qin Wanwan, then facing the crowd, his voice was steady and powerful: “Hello everyone, she is my fiancée, Qin Wanwan.”

“Wow, fiancée!” The surrounding people exclaimed, and another reporter quickly followed up, “May I ask, do you have any plans to get married?”

Ye Xingchen answered without hesitation: “Of course.”

As soon as the crowd heard this, the scene exploded, with various exclamations and discussions intertwined.

Not far away, Lin Yu, hearing Ye Xingchen’s words, his originally smiling face instantly froze, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, and walked towards the banquet hall with Xia Meng.

Seeing Lin Yu walk away directly, such an indifferent performance made Ye Xingchen feel even worse, as if a fire was burning in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it.

He forced a smile at the reporters, “Sorry, we have to go in.” With that said, he led Qin Wanwan towards the hall.

Qin Wanwan noticed Ye Xingchen’s low mood and muttered softly, “Could it be that he’s really with that Xia Meng…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she looked up and secretly glanced at Ye Xingchen, only to see his brows tightly locked, his eyes full of loss and unwillingness, so she wisely closed her mouth.

After Lin Yu and Xia Meng entered the banquet hall, Lin Yu frowned slightly, deliberately lowering his voice, with a hint of helplessness and apology, he said to Xia Meng, “I may have to trouble you later, to pretend to be my girlfriend again.”

Xia Meng was slightly stunned, her beautiful eyes turned, a teasing look flashed in her eyes, and she softly asked, “You asked me to come today, did you only want me to pretend to be your girlfriend from the beginning?”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Yu’s face, and he quickly explained, “Xia Meng, it’s not what you think. I…”

Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, Xia Meng, with a gentle smile on her face, said understandingly, “It’s okay, I’m willing to help you. I can see that you’re in a difficult situation right now, I can still help with this little favor.”

A trace of gratitude flashed in Lin Yu’s eyes, and his tense expression eased a little.

“Xia Meng, thank you so much, I owe you a favor, feel free to ask me for anything in the future.”

Xia Meng winked playfully, “I’ll keep that in mind!” Saying that, she tightened her grip on Lin Yu’s arm, her posture intimate.

At this time, Ye Xingchen and Qin Wanwan entered the hall.

Ye Xingchen locked onto Lin Yu and Xia Meng at a glance, his eyes instantly became sharp, and his footsteps involuntarily paused.

Qin Wanwan noticed Ye Xingchen’s abnormality and followed his gaze, secretly pondering in her heart, this situation is becoming more and more delicate.

She gently tugged at Ye Xingchen’s sleeve and teased softly, “If you keep staring like that, he’s going to notice.”

Ye Xingchen retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and responded in a low voice, “I know, keep acting.”

Saying that, he put on that doting smile again, and led Qin Wanwan towards Lin Yu and Xia Meng.

Coincidentally, their seats were adjacent, and Ye Xingchen and Qin Wanwan sat down next to them.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Xingchen smiled and looked at Lin Yu, saying, “Yu, it’s really a coincidence tonight, I didn’t expect you to come to this banquet too.”

Lin Yu also smiled and responded, “It is quite a coincidence, but you, suddenly announcing to the media that you have a fiancée, really surprised everyone.”

At this time, Xia Meng deliberately behaved very intimately, reaching out and placing her hand on Lin Yu’s hand, her eyes full of affection.

Although Lin Yu felt a little resistance to this touch in his heart, he still endured it, held Xia Meng’s hand in return, and said softly, “Don’t be silly.”

This scene fell into Ye Xingchen’s eyes, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Xia Meng followed the trend and said, “Yu, let’s go to your house tonight.”

Although Lin Yu was surprised by Xia Meng’s sudden proposal, in order to continue the act, he went along with her words and said, “Okay!”

Xia Meng’s smile deepened, and she continued, “I have a surprise for you tonight.”

The laughter of the two reached Ye Xingchen’s ears, making him even angrier.

Qin Wanwan noticed Ye Xingchen’s emotional fluctuations, secretly grabbed his palm, then leaned close to Ye Xingchen’s ear and said softly, “You give me stay calm.”
