The girl stepped closer and closer, her aura and stunning looks captivating everyone she passed.

  Like every man present, Yin Heng involuntarily tightened his grasp around his wine glass.

  Yin Heng watched as the girl approached him and he stepped forward, courteously raising his glass toward her. “Miss Yi, my name is Yin Heng. I’m Director Yin Yuerong’s son…”


  However, the girl treated Yin Heng like air and acted like she didn’t see or hear him.

  The other guests were naturally witnesses to Yin Heng being ignored and discussion ran rampant again.

  “Pft, he actually got ignored!”


  “That’s a man Miss Qin took a fancy to, but Yi Yunmo didn’t even look at him!”


  “Please! Miss Yi’s standards must be much higher than Miss Qin’s! What’s weird about that?!”


  The slightly embarrassed Yin Heng could only smile cordially and withdraw his cup, pretending not to care.

  As Qin Xiyuan listened to the chatter around her, her expression turned darker, and displeasure entered her eyes as she looked at Yin Heng.

  “What? You’re getting ideas?” Qin Xiyuan glanced at Yin Heng.

  Yin Heng was briefly startled before promptly shaking his head. He calmly replied, “Miss Qin, she’s President Yi’s daughter after all, so it’d be within my duty to toast to her. As for how she responds, that’s unrelated to me.”


  As a man, he was naturally more attracted by women like Yi Yunmo. However, Yi Yunmo towered after the heavens and she was someone he could gaze at but couldn’t touch.

  On the other hand, Qin Xiyuan was a sure shot already. There was no way he would offend Qin Xiyuan because of Yi Yunmo under these circumstances.

  “You’re rather good with your words.” Qin Xiyuan harrumphed.

  How could she be clueless about Yin Heng’s thoughts?!

  She was originally supposed to be the sole focus today and enjoy the coveting gazes of all the attending men.

  However, she never expected Yi Yunmo to drop from the sky or all the men circling her a second ago to all swarm toward Yi Yunmo instead

  Yin Heng was no exception…


  Many higher-ups of the Arbitration Council were itching to give Ye Wanwan a shot but no one dared to strike up a conversation with Yi Lingjun’s precious daughter.

  This kind of person was chilly like an ice block and looked down on every living being present. Conversing with her would be a masochistic act.

  “Ninth Brother… she should be Ninth Sister, right… Aside from identical twins, there can’t be two people who look exactly the same in this world,” Lin Que asked Si Yehan, confusion brimming on his face.

  Si Yehan’s gaze settled on the girl, but he remained silent.

  Si Yehan immensely venerated and admired the President of the Arbitration Council, Yi Lingjun, and didn’t think Yi Lingjun would lie and deceive everyone. However, his instincts told him that girl couldn’t possibly be some Yi Yunmo person…


  Hence, there could only be two explanations.

  Yi Lingjun previously mentioned that he became estranged and lost contact with his daughter, Yi Yunmo, many years ago. It was possible that Ye Wanwan employed some kind of method to fool Yi Lingjun and became Yi Yunmo.

  The other possibility was that President Yi Lingjun was truly deceiving every single one of them.

  However, why?

  After exchanging some conventional greetings with everyone, he immediately ran off to find his precious daughter.

  “Why were you talking for so long?!” Ye Wanwan grumbled bemoaningly.

  “Aren’t I here now? Good daughter, what is it? Do you finally need Father’s help for something?” Yi Lingjun asked with anticipation.

  Ye Wanwan bobbed her head eagerly. “I do! Hurry and introduce me to Si Yehan!”


  “I think you’re the one who has a split personality, right, good daughter…?”


  “Thank you, thank you! I’m merely surpassing the one who taught me.”


  Yi Lingjun: “…”


  …


  Chapter 2310 Control yourself, your persona can“t collapse!

  “Director Si!” Yi Lingjun shouted, breaking Si Yehan out of his contemplation.

  Si Yehan nodded lightly and walked toward Yi Lingjun, involuntarily glancing at the girl standing next to Yi Lingjun.

  “President,” Si Yehan greeted him.

  “Director Si, I will consider your earlier suggestion. Young people should be more courageous anyway, and it’s not a bad thing for you to develop ideas that are ahead of your time,” Yi Lingjun said with a smile.

  “Thank you for your support, President,” Si Yehan replied.

  “Oh right, let me introduce you—this is my daughter, Yi Yunmo.” Yi Lingjun pointed at Ye Wanwan next to him.

  When Yin Heng saw this scene, his brows locked together and a shadow enveloped his eyes. Why was President Yi introducing his daughter to Si Yehan?!

  He finally managed to gain Qin Xiyuan’s favor with great difficulty. If Si Yehan sank his claws into Yi Yunmo, everything would be wrecked.

  “Miss Yi.” Si Yehan looked at Ye Wanwan, his frosty face not revealing any change in emotions as though he was wearing a mask. His austere and unworldly aura permeated the air around him.

  Ye Wanwan merely glanced at Si Yehan and looked away without a single response.

  However, this was what played out in her mind:

  Ahhh! So handsome!!!

  Why is he dressed so nicely today? It’s not like I can strip him right now!

  No! Control yourself!

  Your persona can’t collapse!

  When Yin Heng, who was a little nervous moments ago, saw this, he inwardly sneered, derision and mockery brimming from his eyes. Yi Yunmo was haughty to the bone and considered everyone else beneath her, so how could she respond favorably to Si Yehan?

  Who cared about how capable or outstanding Si Yehan was? His taste was too pitiful and he just had to ruin everything because of a woman.

  Otherwise, he’d truly be at a loss if Si Yehan managed to attach himself to Qin Xiyuan.

  As for Yi Yunmo, her appearance was incredibly surprising, but she evidently didn’t have any intention of befriending any of the guests, so it wouldn’t impact anything.

  He would still stomp Si Yehan beneath his feet in the end!

  Yi Lingjun looked at Ye Wanwan and unwittingly chuckled. Her pretense was pretty on point. She was truly worthy of being his disciple and daughter, inheriting a pinch of his capabilities.

  At this moment, melodious music started playing, and the banquet formally began.

  “Miss Qin Xiyuan, may I invite you for a dance?”


  Soon, many young men from the Arbitration Council approached Qin Xiyuan with the desire to ask her for a dance.

  Although Qin Xiyuan came with Yin Heng, many people were unwilling to give up.

  As for Yi Yunmo, after the series of failures just now, nearly everyone gave up and was settling for second best.

  “No need. I have a dance partner already. Thank you,” Qin Xiyuan courteously rejected them with a faint smile on her face.

  “Miss Qin Xiyuan’s dance partner is naturally Yin Heng…”


  Everyone couldn’t help but look toward Qin Xiyuan and Yin Heng.

  The corners of Yin Heng’s lips turned up, his aura impressive. The couple attracted many people’s gazes.

  People watched as Yin Heng courteously extended his hand toward Qin Xiyuan.

  Upon seeing everyone’s attention focused on her again, Qin Xiyuan’s expression finally eased, and she gracefully placed her hand on Yin Heng’s hand.

  Qin Xiyuan had an elite education since she was young, so she was like a fish in the water at this kind of social function. She was fairly superb at the waltz and shared a rather tacitly matched dance with Yin Heng, winning a round of applause from the crowd.

  “They really are a handsome couple made in heaven!”
