Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qin Jiayao had returned to the country for a while. The purpose of this banquet wasn’t just to welcome her back to C City. The main reason was that Qin Jiayao had been abroad for a long time, and Father Qin hoped that she could take this opportunity to make some friends.

Lin Mingzhuo and Qin Yuanyi were golf buddies, and when Father Qin extended the invitation, Mr. Lin thought that Lin Gantang might not have reliable friends and urged her to attend so that she could potentially become friends with Qin Jiayao.

The Qin family had a political background, with Qin Yuanzhong being the eldest son holding a position of authority. Qin Jiayao’s father, Qin Yuanyi, was the second son. Although Qin Yuanyi didn’t pursue a political career and instead engaged in business, the bond between the two brothers was strong.

Given the Qin family’s influential background, many esteemed guests attended the banquet, seizing the rare opportunity.

As the Qin family’s patriarch cherished tranquility, the banquet wasn’t hosted at their residence. Instead, they opted for a standalone villa in the suburbs, a considerable distance away.

The villa had numerous rooms, allowing guests the option to stay overnight if they found it inconvenient to return home.

After Lin Gantang set out, Mr. Lin was just beginning to relish the tranquility when his phone lit up.

Glancing at it, he thought that this determined child was making quite an effort. It was the first time he was calling after all.

Mr. Lin answered.

“Gantang, you’ve found a boyfriend so quickly? Can’t you consider me? Are you going to Qin Jiayao’s banquet today? I’ll come to you.” There was a lot of commotion on the other end of the line, indicating the presence of a group of people.

“Are you looking for her?” Mr. Lin responded leisurely. “She’s already left.”

Le Yu’s voice went silent for a while before he asked, “Who is this?”

“I’m Gantang’s father.”

“Did she forget her phone?”

“No, this is my phone number.” Mr. Lin kindly disclosed the blunt truth.

Le Yu was at a loss.

So he had been chatting with Uncle Lin this whole time? Realizing this possibility, he experienced instant social mortification. “I’m sorry for bothering you, Uncle Lin. Goodbye!”

The banquet had already commenced. Wen Yanqing arrived a bit late due to work commitments.

Lin Gantang appeared at the banquet wearing a misty blue dress, her arm entwined with his, drawing the attention of the entire gathering.

As the guests recognized Wen Yanqing, they approached him to exchange greetings.

Today, Qin Jiayao donned a black fishtail gown. With her refined looks and erudite background, she exuded an air of elegance and intelligence, radiating both sobriety and independence. Her elegant and intellectual demeanor made her the object of admiration for many men in C City.

When she spotted the CEO of Shengfang approaching, she apologized to the person she was conversing with and personally stepped forward to welcome him.

“Mr. Wen, Miss Lin,” Qin Jiayao greeted them.

“Long time no see.” Lin Gantang smiled.

“Long time no see. You’ve changed a lot. You’ve become more beautiful.” Qin Jiayao praised.

“Thank you.”

After exchanging a few more words, Qin Jiayao politely said, “Please feel at ease. Mrs. Gan has arrived. I’ll go greet her.”

Most of the attendees were young people who knew each other, allowing conversations to flow naturally without the rigidity associated with a formal business banquet.

Wen Yanqing escorted Lin Gantang to get some drinks.

Lin Gantang handed him a glass of champagne.

Wen Yanqing raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you the one who told me not to drink?”

“As long as you remember.” Lin Gantang linked her arm with his, playfully placed the champagne glass in his hand, and smiled radiantly. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water. “It’s okay to have a little, but don’t overdo it. Alcohol isn’t good for your health.”

“Alright.” Wen Yanqing agreed amiably.

A few guests nearby discreetly cast glances in their direction.

Bei Bei’s excitement was evident. “Look, they’re holding hands. Lin Gantang’s boyfriend must be Wen Yanqing!”

Xu Bingxi lamented and said, “I knew that the man in her Moments with the watch seemed familiar! I only remembered when I saw him in person!”
