Chapter 593: asking for a beating

Bai Yi listened to Bai Ye’s words, first with anger, then a thought struck him, and suddenly he felt that there was a hidden meaning behind Bai Ye’s words. He wasn’t a complete fool, so he asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you mean by that? Speak clearly!"

Bai Ye didn’t bother with him. Bai Yi was a good-for-nothing in his eyes, and he couldn’t care less to warn this person to be wary of Zhao Qiankun. He just looked at Bai Yi with a mockingly playful gaze, then continued drinking his wine. After downing his drink in one gulp, he casually placed the wine glass on a passing waiter’s tray and moved on to pick out more food.

Ever since he heard what Bai Ye had just said, Bai Yi’s heart had been in turmoil, and now he followed him, staring persistently and asking, "Bai Ye, tell me clearly, what exactly did you mean by what you just said? Don’t forget, you’re also part of the Bai Family! It won’t do you any good if something happens to me!"

Bai Ye found it ludicrous that Bai Yi had the nerve to say such a thing, and looking at him, he asked, "What if something happens to me, surely you would benefit quite a bit."

Hearing this, Bai Yi instantly felt somewhat guilty. He had always been jealous of Bai Ye since he was young, always worried that Bai Ye would steal what belonged to him. Therefore, the two of them never got along, and Bai Yi constantly had his entourage bully Bai Ye. As they grew older and he saw Bai Ye become more and more outstanding, he developed a strong sense of crisis. It was then that he started plotting to get rid of Bai Ye.

But the only real attempt was the demise trap planned with Qiu Yiming. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed, and Bai Ye had escaped! Thinking about this, Bai Yi suddenly felt dissatisfaction toward Qiu Yiming far away in Market. They had planned everything so well; how could it fail? Surely Qiu Yiming was too incompetent!

For a moment, Bai Yi couldn’t figure out whether Bai Ye’s words referred to this incident or something to do with the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps. Encountering Bai Ye’s piercing gaze, his heart panicked even more.

However, his face remained calm, and he even said, "I don’t understand what nonsense you’re talking about!" After speaking, he walked away quickly, not daring to stay any longer.

Bai Ye watched his somewhat stiff back, a very faint curve forming on his lips, seemingly amused.

Zhao Qiankun, after leaving with Cheng Lin, had been out of sight until he reappeared more than half an hour later, even wearing a different set of clothes; Cheng Lin, on the other hand, had not reappeared. Everyone glanced at Zhao Qiankun’s clearly different clothes and exchanged knowing looks with the person next to them. What Zhao Qiankun did just now was self-explanatory, and unless someone was a fool, it was evident to all present.

Many recalled Cheng Lin’s good looks and graceful figure, and couldn’t help but feel envious of Zhao Qiankun’s good fortune. If one overlooked Cheng Lin’s mind, she sure was a catch. But then again, although Cheng Lin was fine, she really couldn’t compare to a true beauty like Han Lingxi.

When Zhao Qiankun left before, Han Lingxi did not leave but stood in the circle of elite ladies, chatting with them as naturally as if she were the hostess here. Compared to her, Cheng Lin was not only less intelligent but also seemed far too petty.

As soon as Zhao Qiankun returned, Han Lingxi went up to him without showing a hint of jealousy, acting as though she was clueless about what he had done with Cheng Lin after leaving. She stood beside him, arm in arm, smiling brightly, looking even more like the hostess.

Zhao Qiankun always appreciated Han Lingxi’s sense of the bigger picture. Seeing her cleverly hooking onto his arm, he couldn’t help the rush of desire. He gazed at Han Lingxi’s fair arm, recalling its incredibly smooth touch, and his body, having been relieved, began to heat up once more.

Had it not been for the awareness that the setting was inappropriate, he would have been tempted to take care of Han Lingxi, the demoness seducing him, right then and there! Zhao Qiankun forcefully suppressed his body’s reaction, cleared his throat, and began to mingle in the hall with Han Lingxi, greeting people from various influential groups.

Han Lingxi observed Zhao Qiankun’s reaction, her eyes shifting as the corners of her mouth slowly lifted into a seductive and sexy smile. She was no fool; she knew well what had happened between Zhao Qiankun and Cheng Lin after he left. However, she didn’t even consider the foolish Cheng Lin a threat. That woman was simply too naive to qualify as her rival. It was better to keep her around to watch her struggle with other women, which was far more interesting!
