Tang Keyi also had an unexpected person approach him.
"Miss, you are truly beautiful. I'm William. May I ask your name?"
Tang Keyi looked at the smiling William before him, feeling a wave of
surprise.
He hadn't expected the Chu family to have invited even William.
[Fine, he came. But he actually dares to hit on a 'beauty'!]
[Just shows he's a playboy. Can't even be loyal. What right does he have to
like Qin Zhiyan!]
Suppressing his anger, Tang Keyi replied softly
"Hello, my name is Tang Ketian."
Unlike the transparent Tang Keyi, William, who had been observing from
the side, had only been suspicious before.
But now, the barely concealed hostility in Tang Keyi's eyes confirmed the
identity of this beauty for William.
After all, they had never met before, and he considered himself handsome
and charming.
How could a woman have such inexplicable anger towards him?
[Cross-dressing, huh?]
[This is extremely interesting.]
"Miss Tang, you are truly the most beautiful woman I have ever
seen,"
William said, coming from abroad, he was always direct with his compliments.
"Thank you,"
Tang Keyi said politely on the surface, while thinking,
You playboy, get the hell away from me!
William paid no mind to Tang Keyi's coldness and continued,
"Speaking of which, the most handsome man I've ever seen is named Tang Keyi.
Do you know him? Actually, you two look somewhat alike."
Tang Keyi almost cursed out loud.
Although I am indeed good-looking,
shouldn't the person you find most handsome in your heart be Qin
Zhiyan?
What a playboy!
Tang Keyi nodded, pretending to be calm.
"He's my cousin."
"I see,"
William said, generous with his praise.
"You siblings are both beautiful."
Playboy, you have some taste at least.
"I wonder if I have the honor of being your dance partner?"
William pushed his luck further.
Tang Keyi smiled, thinking, In your dreams.
At that moment, Han Qiuqiu, having timed it perfectly, returned.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tang is already my dance partner."
William turned around. Somewhat surprised, and gave Han Qiuqiu a quick
once-over.
[I thought this little assistant was deeply in love with Qin Zhiyan. Who
would have thought that while Qin Zhiyan isn't at the banquet, he would
change his identity and hook up with another man?]
[It seems even Qin Zhiyan can misjudge people.]
"Is that so? My apologies for being presumptuous,"
William said, withdrawing with gentlemanly grace.
Han Qiuqiu winked at Tang Keyi and asked,
"Does this count as a heroic rescue of a beauty?"
"It was just a trip to the restroom. Why did it take so long?"
Tang Keyi complained.
"Don't ask. Ran into something disgusting,"
Han Qiuqiu said, motioning with his chin towards the direction William left.
"Who was that? Never seen him before."
"He's the William I told you about."
"The one who likes Qin Zhiyan?"
Han Qiuqiu said.
"Why does it seem like he was more interested in you?"
"That's why I said he's a playboy! He saw how good-looking I am and
wanted to hit on me."
Han Qiuqiu was about to discuss this further with Tang Keyi when another
person approached.
It was Li Mingxing.
"Li Mingxing, I'm not in a good mood right now. Don't provoke me,"
Han Qiuqiu spoke first.
"Han Qiuqiu, I'm not here to argue with you. Isn't Tang Keyi
here?"
Li Mingxing glanced at Tang Keyi a couple of times before losing interest and
looking away.
Clearly, he hadn't recognized him.
"No, he's busy. So he asked me to bring his distant cousin along to have
some fun,"
Han Qiuqiu maintained the same story.
"Others might not know, but I do. I heard Chu Minmin didn't invite Tang
Keyi at all. Her intentions are clear to us, so let's just say it straight,
okay?"
"If you know, then why ask!"
Han Qiuqiu snapped irritably.
"I thought, given his personality, he would have come to give Chu Minmin
a warning. I didn't expect him to have changed his nature!"
"Hah! As if you understand Tang Keyi so well,"
Han Qiuqiu rolled his eyes, thinking,
He actually hit the mark. He did change his nature—the 'nature' being
gender.
"I just came to remind you. Although I don't know Chu Minmin,
I've heard she's very scheming. If Qin Zhiyan comes, you have to help Tang
Keyi keep an eye out.
Otherwise, if Chu Minmin snatches Qin Zhiyan away, Tang Keyi won't even have a
place to cry!"
"You would be this kind-hearted?"
Han Qiuqiu looked at Li Mingxing with suspicion.
