The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1015: It’s Your Own Face

"That’s because Qingan has the ability, President Pei, Mr. Wei, please look after her in the future?"

President Pei and Mr. Wei smiled, clinked glasses with Shen Ji, and said, "You’re too kind, Young Master Shen."

Afterward, the four of them chatted casually, and the atmosphere was quite congenial.

Until President Zheng came over, she joined in the conversation for a while, and then the talk came to an end.

Ling Qingan watched their departing backs, then turned to Shen Ji beside her, "Senior, thank you."

Shen Ji paused, lowered his eyes to look at her, "Thank me for what?"

Ling Qingan sighed softly; she has never liked owing people favors.

But what just happened, she really ought to thank Shen Ji well.

In its current state, LG is unlikely to be appreciated by President Pei and Mr. Wei, let alone have the chance to chat and laugh with them. It was clearly his effort introducing them.

"You think President Pei and Mr. Wei gave you face because of me?" Shen Ji understood the expression on Ling Qingan’s face and laughed.

Ling Qingan said nothing.

Seeing this, Shen Ji sighed lightly, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

Hmm?

Ling Qingan looked up at him.

Shen Ji’s elegant face showed some helplessness, "President Pei and Mr. Wei admired your design and knew we knew each other, so they found me to help introduce you."

"So, it’s your own merit. I’m really just a middleman today."

Seeing him not admitting, Ling Qingan didn’t push and smiled, "No matter what, I still want to thank you, Senior. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have met President Pei and Mr. Wei today."

As she spoke, she set down the empty wine glass in her hand and picked up another glass of wine, raising it to Shen Ji.

"Senior, thank you," with those words, she intended to drink it all in one go.

But before the glass touched her lips, Shen Ji’s hand reached out to grasp her wrist, stopping her.

Raising her head, she heard his gentle voice slowly echoing, "Drink a little less, You’ve already had enough today."

The bar wasn’t far from the swimming pool, and behind the pool was a garden where many people gathered in groups, laughing and chatting.

The garden’s flowers were air-shipped by the hotel every day and managed by professionals, so even after a day of being exposed to the elements, they remained vibrantly beautiful and charming.

Just like the girl across the way.

In a corner of the garden, a man stood expressionlessly, dressed in a suit, tall and poised. The lighting sculpted his finely chiseled features and sharp jawline, similar to the striking aura emanating from him.

Many people’s gaze in the garden fell on the man. Aside from his unparalleled handsome looks, his noble elegance was enough to attract many.

The man held a glass of wine, and the cufflinks under the glass reflected a faint glow. His indistinct eyes looked past the garden and the crowd at the man’s hand holding the woman’s wrist.

The fingers on the glass tightened slightly, veins popped on the back of his hand, and the knuckles turned white.

The man’s unwavering gaze rested on the girl’s face, who only lightly raised her eyebrows without opposing, watching the man take the wine glass from her hand.

Afterward, the girl chuckled softly and shrugged indifferently at the man. Her brows curved slightly, her eyes gleaming with a myriad of sparkling lights, as if all the brilliance of the scene converged in her eyes.

So dazzlingly captivating.

Anger suppressed deep within stirred wildly when he saw the girl’s pure and radiant smile.

"Bang—"

Fury crashed through his veins as the wine glass shattered in response.

The man’s exquisite face abruptly vanished, replaced by a fierce and chilling darkness.

Those initially intending to approach were repelled by the man’s sudden grim look.

The shattered glass further kept everyone at a safe distance.

Ling Qingan watched as Shen Ji placed her wine glass on the nearby table and pushed a glass of plain water to her.

Looking at the water before her, she couldn’t help but laugh, "Senior, even if you’re afraid I’ll get drunk and act up, you wouldn’t have to give me plain water?"
