Chapter 626: Chapter 626: No one has ever dared to give him the cold shoulder like this, Qiao Yun is the first Chapter 626: Chapter 626: No one has ever dared to give him the cold shoulder like this, Qiao Yun is the first Qin Yuan quietly sized up Li Hanzhou.

He had seen Li Hanzhou from a distance last time at the vacation resort, and Li Hanzhou seemed like a completely different person compared to that time.

In his heart, Qin Yuan assessed Li Hanzhou as a man not to be trifled with, too adept at hiding his emotions.

However, he quickly remembered something, and his gaze became somewhat dangerous.

What exactly was Li Hanzhou’s relationship with that person?

If that person was involved with Li Hanzhou, it might be difficult for him to make a move.

The group exchanged a few words, during which Qin Xuan’s gaze never left Li Hanzhou, even though Li Hanzhou continuously ignored her presence.

He didn’t like Qin Xuan, so why give her any false impressions?

As the group entered the banquet hall.

Qin Xuan turned to her mother and said, “Mom, didn’t you say that Grandpa Li wanted me to have an arranged marriage with Brother Han Zhou?”

“What’s the rush? Take it slow. What you need to do now is make him fall for you,” Mrs. Qin said, recalling Li Hanzhou’s attitude and feeling uncertain about the matter.

Nevertheless, this was her only chance, as an alliance with the Li Family would significantly elevate her status within the Qin Family.

“I like him, I want him,” Qin Xuan’s beautiful face contorted for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

“Then strive to make him like you too,” Mrs. Qin said gently.

“He will,” Qin Xuan asserted confidently.

Although she had only met Li Hanzhou once when she was a child, she had kept tabs on him over the years.

The more she watched him, the deeper she fell, increasingly convinced that only Li Hanzhou was worthy of her.

He was so outstanding, so powerful, so beyond reach.

When she heard from her mother that Grandfather Li had intended for her to meet Li Hanzhou, she knew her opportunity had arrived.

Knowing her daughter was measured in her approach, Mrs. Qin turned and instructed Qin Yuan, “You should also pay close attention to the ladies of status who are here today.”

Qin Yuan nonchalantly responded, causing an image to flash through his mind, somewhat itching his heart.

…

After Li Hanzhou entered the banquet hall, he separated from his parents.

He found a corner to sit in, and surveying the room, he felt rather bored not seeing Qiao Yun’s figure.

Just then, a scent of flowers approached him, causing him to knit his brows slightly as Qin Xuan’s figure landed in his pupils.

“Brother Han Zhou, are you bored?” Qin Xuan asked with a gentle and sweet smile. “How about I keep you company for a chat?”

Li Hanzhou, holding a wine glass elegantly, replied without mercy, “Who are you calling brother? I am not your brother.”

Qin Xuan smoothly changed her address, “Li Bro, you really don’t remember me anymore?”

Li Hanzhou replied curtly, “Do I need to remember you?”

Qin Xuan, educated in the West, lacked the subtlety of Easterners. If she liked someone, she pursued them; if she wanted something, she sought to obtain it.

Thus, after Li Hanzhou ignored her advances repeatedly, she couldn’t help but finally ask.

“Do you dislike me?”

Li Hanzhou responded nonchalantly, “Not particularly.”

Before Qin Xuan could rejoice, she heard him say, “But, I am not familiar with you.”

As a stranger, there was nothing to dislike.

It must be said that Li Hanzhou was indeed quite ruthless. If it were anyone else encountering Qin Xuan, they would at least be polite to her.

However, once he figured out Qin Xuan’s intentions to get close, he provided her with no opportunities.

“No worries, we just need more time together to become familiar,” Qin Xuan said undeterred by the setback, her smile still gentle, “Li Bro, I know your grandfather wants to find you a companion; maybe we could give it a try.”

Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, “You’re not suitable.”

Qin Xuan responded, “You haven’t even gotten to know me, how do you know I’m not suitable? If you’re willing, I could accompany you during this period, and I believe we’ll enjoy our time together.”

After she finished speaking, she anxiously and expectantly awaited Li Hanzhou’s response, knowing that beating around the bush with someone like Li Hanzhou was futile.

She decided to be bolder, thinking maybe Li Hanzhou would prefer this approach since no one dared to express their admiration to him so directly.

Just as Li Hanzhou was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of someone’s figure from the corner of his eye. When he looked over, the coldness in his eyes instantly turned into a tender caress.

Qin Xuan’s heart raced when she saw the gentleness in his eyes.

Was he about to agree?

In that moment, she was both excited and thrilled, unable to resist reaching out her hand trying to touch this man she had always regarded as unattainable.

But then, Li Hanzhou’s face suddenly turned grim.

Qin Xuan was startled and immediately realized something, following Li Hanzhou’s gaze.

Then she saw a young girl.

Li Hanzhou was looking at that girl.

Qin Xuan’s face turned pale instantly.

…

Qiao Yun came with the Lu family and Jingzhi. Zhanxing did not attend the party, as he had been to too many in the entertainment industry and was not interested in this one at all.

With his brother and parents around, he did not worry about his sister’s safety.

As soon as Qiao Yun entered, she attracted most people’s attention.

She was extremely beautiful.

So beautiful that she didn’t seem real.

She wore a blue gauze dress that matched her age, her cool demeanor tinged with a hint of playfulness.

She looked too aloof to approach easily.

When Qin Yuan saw Qiao Yun, he was initially surprised, then could not take his eyes off her once he saw her attire.

It was the first time he felt drawn to a girl like this.

She stood out so much compared to those women who threw themselves at him.

After the Lu family introduced Qiao Yun around, they let her find a seat and get some food.

Obediently, Qiao Yun found a spot to sit and had just sat down when someone came over to talk to her.

“Hello.”

Qiao Yun looked up at the person speaking. The man’s deep eyes were smiling, albeit with a hint of mischief.

“Let’s get acquainted, my last name is Qin, I’m Qin Yuan, the host of this party.”

Qin Yuan casually took a seat opposite Qiao Yun, his gaze resting on her expressionless face, feeling a tickle in his heart again.

“What’s your name?”

Upon hearing he was the host of the party, Qiao Yun’s voice was politely distant, “Qiao Yun.”

Her voice, just like her, carried a cool air that made Qin Yuan feel itchy with desire.

No one had dared to treat him with such indifference, and Qiao Yun was the first.

Initially, he was attracted by Qiao Yun’s looks, but now he was becoming interested in her as a person.

Qiao Yun furrowed her brow, her instincts making her dislike Qin Yuan, so she simply ignored him and focused on her food.

Observing her, Qin Yuan propped his chin and smiled, asking, “I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting Miss Qiao for a dance?”

Qiao Yun wanted to say, I don’t know you, but before she could speak,

a low and warning voice interrupted, “Sorry, she’s taken.”

Qiao Yun heard the familiar voice, her eyes brightened, and lifting her eyelids, she saw Li Hanzhou with a face that looked as if someone had murdered his entire family.

Qiao Yun: ??? What happened?
