Chapter 3139 - 3139 Nonsense
3139 Nonsense
In the previous incarnation, Chu Jianan and Leng Yuqi schemed against her. In this incarnation, she had ended her engagement with Chu Jianan long ago, so the tragedy shouldn’t happen again.
Even if it happened again, as a cultivator, she could easily get rid of the effect of the drug, but her abilities as a cultivator weren’t fully back to normal and she couldn’t do anything about it. In fact, she didn’t cultivate diligently.
She was too busy dealing with other things and could only cultivate in the morning, so she barely got her abilities as a cultivator back.
She merely made a little progress.
Not only Chu Jianan and the others were attracted by Leng Xiaoyao, many other guests at the party were too. There were men and women. Some complimented her, while some were jealous.
Someone wanted to strike up a conversation with Leng Xiaoyao, but Ling Tianqi and the other young men were with her, so he didn’t come. However, he couldn’t stop glancing at her and even tried attracting their attention.
“I guess they are mainly staring at Xiaoyao,” Ling Tianqi said. He said that, not only because he thought Leng Xiaoyao was more beautiful, but because those men were indeed glancing at Leng Xiaoyao.
“Of course, our boss is too attractive to be ignored! They must be staring at Xiaoyao!” Xiong Manxin said proudly, as if she was being complimented.
Normally, girls were unhappy when other people compliment another girl, but Xiong Manxin and the other girls didn’t have that temperament. After all, Leng Xiaoyao was undeniably outstanding.
“Right, Xiaoyao is the focus of people’s attention wherever she goes,” An Chenmeng agreed, also feeling proud of Leng Xiaoyao.
“If you weren’t here, I bet those rich boys would have come over to strike up a conversation with Xiaoyao,” Wu Minmin said.
Ling Tianqi suddenly realized that they shouldn’t be here, so he asked, “You’re right. Do you need us to leave for a while, so that they can come over?”
Ling Tianqi was serious, because they came to parties like this in order to form a relationship with other rich people or someone suitable for them.
“No need. I actually need you to stop them from coming. I have no interest in them,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She came to this party for Li Mochen, so she wasn’t interested in other men.
An Chenmeng and the other girls didn’t care who they could meet, so they were unwilling to spend time with strangers.
“Most guests come to parties in order to build a relationship with more people, but you have no interest in doing that,” Pei Heran commented with a smile. However, precisely because of that, he thought Leng Xiaoyao was different and was attracted to her.
“Not everyone comes to parties for that purpose. I just came for fun. How about you? Why did you come here?” asked Leng Xiaoyao.
“Um, we don’t know. We just had nothing else to do and our families wanted us to come,” Pei Heran said. He honestly had no idea why he came to this party. Perhaps it was his habit. He was used to the events held among high society. Whenever there was an important event, he would be present as long as he had time.
As they chatted, two young and sexy girls in their early twenties walked over. In front of them, they greeted the guys. “Been a while, Mr. Ling, Mr. Pei, and Mr. Feng.”
“Miss Yang, Miss Pan, been a while!” Ling Tianqi and the other guys replied, but they kept a polite distance from them.
“Mr. Ling, I thought Xia Han was with you, but she’s absent!” Miss Pan said. When she mentioned Xia Han, she glanced at Leng Xiaoyao and the other girls. Obviously, she said that to them.
Leng Xiaoyao felt it was funny, because Miss Pan must have misunderstood their relationship with Ling Tianqi.
“Miss Pan, why do you think Miss Xia should be with me? We’re not so familiar. Please don’t cause misunderstandings.” Ling Tianqi was displeased and sounded annoyed. It couldn’t be more obvious that he disliked being connected with Xia Han.
Miss Pan was embarrassed. “Am I wrong? I saw you being close to Xia Han, so I thought you two are very close.”
“Miss Pan, when did you see me being close to Miss Xia? Don’t spread rumors. I don’t want other people to misunderstand. I care about my reputation very much. If it’s not true, I don’t want to be gossiped about.” Ling Tianqi said.
He was annoyed that Miss Pan connected him with Xia Han because he disliked Xia Han.
Xia Han admired him, which wasn’t wrong, but she was too calculating and pretentious. She always pretended to fall or encounter trouble and tried to lean on him, which disgusted him.
“W-Well, I just saw you two standing together and chatting every time there is a party,” Miss Pan said. When she said that, she didn’t sound confident at all because she knew she was lying. She simply said that to make other people think Xia Han had a close relationship with Ling Tiqnqi.
Unexpectedly, Ling Tianqi embarrassed her publicly by saying that he wasn’t close to Xia Han at all. It seemed he was reluctant to be connected with Xia Han.
Was his girlfriend among these girls? Was Ling Tianqi afraid that his girlfriend would be mad?
If his girlfriend was among the girls, who would it be?
Was it the girl in a black gown?
Miss Pan turned to observe Leng Xiaoyao.
Leng Xiaoyao was too smart to miss that. She knew what Miss Pan was thinking, so she slightly frowned.
She didn’t want to cause misunderstandings either, but she couldn’t say anything when Miss Pan hadn’t said anything. Otherwise, she would seem too self-centered and it might cause even more misunderstandings.
“I talk with countless people at a party. Do I have a close relationship with every one of them? Shouldn’t I exchange greetings and chat with those familiar faces?” Ling Tianqi questioned.
