Chapter 1180: 1266: Showing Off

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1266: Showing OffSu Xuan’s formal attire seemed to accentuate the crispness of the suit; it wasn’t the suit that adorned Su Xuan. In contrast, Qin Zhongshu’s figure wasn’t as perfect as Su Xuan’s, so it didn’t quite have that same effect.

Beside them, Xie Wanqing gazed at Su Xuan with a look filled with unabashed love. It was unmasked affection, as if this man was everything to her. Anyone could see the hint of happiness in Xie Wanqing’s expression.

Witnessing this scene made Qin Zhongshu even more uncomfortable, because the whole time, Xie Wanqing hadn’t even glanced his way. She was always, intentionally or unintentionally, focused on Su Xuan. That tenderness, that love truly enraged Qin Zhongshu.

Qin Zhongshu was not resigned to this. He really wasn’t. Why was he so unfortunate?

Actually, in Xie Wanqing’s eyes, she now found Su Xuan extremely handsome. Previously, she thought Qin Zhongshu was quite handsome, even her dream lover, but today when Qin Zhongshu stood opposite Su Xuan, Xie Wanqing suddenly realized Su Xuan exuded an unmatched aura. She felt quite amazed, to be honest, as she hadn’t expected Su Xuan, the master of trickery, to have such charisma. It’s no wonder someone like Shui Lingling easily fell for his appearance.

“I wonder what your name is, brother?” Despite disliking Su Xuan to the brim, Qin Zhongshu wouldn’t voice it, since they’d all grown up adults, and pretense remained ever pretentious.

Su Xuan offered a faint smile, shaking hands with Qin Zhongshu, appearing brotherly.

“Su Xuan!”

Su Xuan explained succinctly, and upon hearing this name, Qin Zhongshu felt it somewhat familiar, though it didn’t leave much impression. He was curious; he hadn’t heard of any rich second-generation named Su Xuan here, but this guy seemed charismatic. Could it be a case of looks without substance?

However, upon a first meeting, he naturally could not openly sniff it out.

“Hey, that guy was so handsome.”

“Yes, I’d love to take a picture with him.”

A few goddesses whispered, for the love of beauty is universal. It’s not just men who like beautiful women; women too enjoy handsome men, especially those like Su Xuan, who were handsome from every angle. He was incredibly eye-catching.

The focal point, a definite focal point. When Su Xuan and Xie Wanqing entered, they almost instantly became the center of attention. Many women began inquiring about Su Xuan’s name, while many men subtly observed Xie Wanqing.

Mo Xiangjun pursed his lips in fury. He did not anticipate ending up making wedding clothes for them; what on earth was happening.

At that moment, a knock sounded from outside. As the door opened, Xie Wanqing was slightly surprised—it was her parents.

“Dad, Mom…”

Seeing her parents arrive made Xie Wanqing truly happy, as he initially thought they wouldn’t come.

Xie Wanqing’s parents dressed rather plainly, appearing to be in work clothes.

“Hello, Uncle and Aunt. I’m Wanqing’s boyfriend.”

Su Xuan quickly introduced himself, thinking inwardly that darn it, weren’t they supposed not to come? They’ve seen me before; if they mention my roadside eating, I’ll be exposed.

Indeed, Xie Wanqing’s parents were first shocked upon seeing Su Xuan, feeling the man before them was truly good-looking. Next, they found him familiar. Was this not the young man who ate at their place roadside before? How had he become their daughter’s boyfriend?

The couple awkwardly smiled and nodded. Xie Wanqing’s father, Xie Dongjun, somewhat understood the reason; his daughter was keeping face, likely inviting friends to support her. Thinking of this, he felt somewhat guilty. He’d been too irresponsible back then; if he hadn’t gone bankrupt then, they wouldn’t be in this position today.

Next, everyone held a glass and chatted idly, although a peculiar phenomenon occurred at the scene. Su Xuan was surrounded by beautiful women, while Xie Wanqing was surrounded by handsome men, all actively approaching.

Xie Wanqing was fine with it, not really liking to talk to unfamiliar people. However, Su Xuan, seeing beauties, was eloquent, speaking amusingly, thus creating a scene akin to a concert, with crowds of beauties talking.

Qin Zhongshu and Mo Xiangjun, initially the protagonists, became the supporting roles, truly feeling uncomfortable.

The banquet began, with three tables arranged. Su Xuan, Xie Wanqing, their parents, and close family sat at one big table.

“Wanqing, don’t move, your hair is messy!”

Su Xuan tenderly helped Xie Wanqing gently arrange her unruly strands between her brow, his movements soft and graceful, which left many women imagining, if he did this for me, I would certainly be intoxicated.

At that moment, Xie Wanqing felt a wave of tenderness in his heart. Love, perhaps this was the taste of love. In that instant, he hoped that not everything was an act but was real. But could it truly be?

“Mr. Su, do you drink wine?”

Qin Zhongshu was most frustrated today. Originally, this was his home court. Qin Zhongshu appreciated the worship of thousands. His main aim was turning this into his personal show during the family banquet.

Qin Zhongshu liked nothing more than seeing people look at him with sparkling eyes full of admiration. He craved this feeling.

With so many little cousins at Mo Xiangjun’s home, he naturally planned to flirt with a few, thinking play with little sisters is the most exciting. Thus, he had prepared many programs to showcase himself today, but didn’t expect all to revolve around Su Xuan. Initially, a few were not around Su Xuan, but later hearing Su Xuan’s amusing talk, every one wanted to approach.

Qin Zhongshu was unwilling to accept defeat; he considered that losing like this would really be too humiliating.

“Haha, somewhat. I’ll have a drink.”

Su Xuan replied with a faint smile. Qin Zhongshu actively poured Su Xuan a cup of wine, then said.

“If you respect me, let’s drink it all.”

With that, he took the cup and drank it up in one go. Qin Zhongshu now didn’t know how to strike at Su Xuan, so he thought of besting Su Xuan at the bar, where he could save face.

Su Xuan smiled faintly and said.

“Brother-in-law, I truly respect you, and it’s heartfelt, but my wife won’t let me chug, so pardon me!”

Su Xuan said as he gently swirled the glass and took a sip gracefully. It remained elegance. Drinking so stylishly, in contrast, Qin Zhongshu’s chug from earlier seemed akin to a Martial World bug.
