Qin Cheng yu looked down at his own body.
He thought to himself that he indeed needed to become stronger—
only then could he better protect Nian Jin sui.
By the time Qin Cheng yu emerged from the fitting room in his formal
attire,
Nian Jin sui had already finished putting on his own tie and had even
picked one out for Qin Cheng yu.
Seeing Qin Cheng yu in a suit for the first time, Nian Jin sui’s eyes lit
up.
He couldn’t hold back his praise:
“Cheng yu, you look amazing! Suits really suit you; it fits perfectly.”
A hint of delight flickered in Qin Cheng yu’s eyes as he watched Nian Jin
sui approach him.
“What do you think of this tie? I feel like it matches your outfit quite
well.”
Qin Cheng yu replied without hesitation,
“It looks great.”
As long as Nian Jin sui picked it, it was bound to look great.
“Then wear it.”
Nian Jin sui handed him the tie.
“Do you know how to tie a tie?”
Qin Cheng yu thought for a moment.
Although he’d never tried, it shouldn’t be too hard.
But when he met Nian Jin sui’s gaze, an idea came to him.
He shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
The store assistant was just about to offer help when she felt a
sharp,
cold glance sweep over her, silencing her immediately.
“Then let me help you,”
Nian Jin sui said cheerfully.
“I used to have to wear suits for orchestra performances all the
time.
Tying a tie is no big deal for me.”
“Thank you, Jin sui,”
Qin Cheng yu lowered his head slightly, perfectly hiding the faint smile
that curled at the corners of his lips.
“Cheng yu, I never noticed how tall you are when I was in a wheelchair. Are
you over 1.9 meters?”
Nian Jin sui asked as he stood on tiptoe to adjust Qin Cheng yu’s tie and
collar.
“Probably not.”
Qin Cheng yu hadn’t measured his height in a long time and wasn’t entirely
sure.
“You’re already half a head taller than me.”
Nian Jin sui suddenly felt nostalgic for his old height of 1.88 meters;
now, he was under 1.8 meters.
“Jin sui, you’re perfect as you are now,”
Qin Cheng yu said seriously, gazing at Nian Jin sui’s delicate
features.
“Well, I don’t have much choice but to accept it… Okay, all done. Cheng yu,
we need to hurry; we still have to get our hair done.”
They quickly finished up, letting the assistant add cufflinks and a tie
clip,
then left the store with their changed outfits in tow.
After they left, one of the assistants couldn’t help but gossip.
“From what I overheard, this Second Young Master Qin seems pretty
pitiful.”
The assistant who had tried to help earlier retorted,
“Did you see the look he gave me earlier? It was terrifying! I don’t think
he’s someone who gets pushed around easily.”
The Imperial Capital Building
The Chu family’s celebration banquet was a grand affair, attended by
prominent figures in the business world.
However, Nian Jin sui immediately became the center of attention upon his
arrival.
After all, who wouldn’t be drawn to a beauty?
Nian Jin sui’s looks and charisma ensured he was the focus no matter where
he went.
In the past, Nian Jin sui favored cute, curly hairstyles.
Now, he preferred natural straight hair.
Tonight, he sported a side-parted, layered look that perfectly complemented
his silver-white suit, exuding elegance, sophistication, and effortless
charm.
Beside Nian Jin sui, Qin Cheng yu also garnered attention that should have
belonged to Nian Jin sui alone.
Qin Cheng yu, typically sporting a natural, tousled look reminiscent of a
college student,
had styled his hair to match his suit tonight.
Though unexpected, it suited him well.
With his sharp features and cool demeanor, rarely showing a
smile,
Qin Cheng yu’s formal look gave off the vibe of a domineering CEO.
While Nian Jin sui was a familiar figure in the Imperial Capital, known by
all,
Qin Cheng yu’s low profile meant that most attendees had no idea who he
was, sparking murmurs of curiosity.
“Who’s that beside Young Master Nian? I’ve never seen him before.”
“Me neither. He’s so elegant—could he be the son of some prominent family
who just returned to the country?”
Guests exchanged glances, but no one had a definitive answer.
“Jin sui, why did you bring him? Didn’t I say one invitation is for one
person only?”
Chu He jun approached with a glass of champagne and asked.
Nian Jin sui took the champagne and handed it to Qin Cheng yu before
replying,
“Do you think your little tricks can fool me? I don’t believe it!”
He wasn’t one to fall for such petty games.
Chu He jun grabbed another glass of champagne from a nearby tray and
offered it to Nian Jin sui.
“I wasn’t trying to trick you. I just didn’t want Ye Kang tagging along.
Try this champagne—it was specially flown in from France by Brother Ting for
the guests.”
Nian Jin sui took a sip.
He wasn’t much of a wine connoisseur, but he found it quite
pleasant.
He nodded.
“Not bad, pretty good.”
At that moment, the lights dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the
stage.
All eyes turned to the front.
Chu He ting stood under the spotlight, dressed in a tailored dark blue
suit.
Radiating charm and confidence, he smiled slightly—just enough to be
captivating without seeming excessive.
Standing in the spotlight, he appeared to be at the center of the
world.
He was the star of the celebration banquet—and perhaps the star of the
world itself.
But Nian Jin sui glanced at him briefly before looking away, uninterested
in Chu He ting’s clichéd opening remarks.
Qin Cheng yu, however, kept his gaze fixed on Chu He ting.
As an Alpha and the future heir of the Chu family,
Chu He ting was flawless in appearance, status, and capability.
It wasn’t hard to understand why Nian Jin sui might like him.
Alpha… heir…
Qin Cheng yu’s narrow eyes darkened as he seemed lost in thought.
Nian Jin sui watched Chu He ting descend the stage and begin mingling with
the guests.
At the same time, he received a notification from Xilü.
[Mission Alert: Please accompany Chu He ting and help him entertain
guests until he asks you to leave.]
Nian Jin sui hesitated.
“But he doesn’t need me by his side. If I stick to him, won’t that just
annoy him?”
[The host must remain enthusiastic and maintain the demeanor of Chu He
ting’s partner. This mission is a role-playing scenario and will be
graded. Please take it seriously.]
“Tch, I knew it. Another mission to raise Chu He ting’s dislike level.
Fine, I’ll go all out and wrap this up quickly.”
Nian Jin sui looked at Qin Cheng yu.
“Cheng yu, just enjoy yourself tonight. Eat, drink, or chat with someone.
We’ll go home together later.”
Not wanting Qin Cheng yu to witness the embarrassing task of
“enthusiastically sticking to someone uninterested,”
Nian Jin sui quickly made arrangements.
After giving his instructions, he walked off toward Chu He ting with
champagne in hand.
“Jin sui…”
Qin Cheng yu called out, but Nian Jin sui only raised his hand in
acknowledgment without turning back.
“He’s definitely off to find my brother. What a shameless move,”
Chu He jun muttered, casting a glance at Qin Cheng yu.
“I’m not babysitting you either. Suit yourself.”
