Chapter 1663: Chapter 1663: Getting What Others Don’t Want
It seemed like the difference between the first major shareholder and the second was just a little, but the gap was far more than just a little bit.
Even Dan Hanxi was slightly stunned upon hearing him acknowledge the authenticity of the will.
With an expression of surprise, she gazed at Dan Hanjie who had just spoken, but could only see his back.
His hawk-like eyes, slightly narrowed, conveyed an indescribable complexity.
Dan Hanjie was never one to be concerned with others’ gazes; once he finished speaking, he went straight back to Qin Youxuan’s side, wrapping her in his arms and calmly savoring his drink.
Qin Youxuan playfully winked at him, clinking glasses occasionally.
The couple’s sweetness was enviable.
Meanwhile, Dan Hanxi, having easily achieved her goals on the podium, felt an unspeakable sensation instead.
It was like the thing you longed for and painstakingly pursued turned out to be something unwanted by others, hard to swallow.
The party soon revived its lively atmosphere.
Everyone attending the party had a purpose.
Even if they couldn’t win over advantageous business partners, they still needed to acquaint with potential customers.
Glasses clinked amidst the dazzling star-studded scene, making it extremely lively.
Rui Hui was still upset about knowing the unfinished matters and didn’t come with Diwu Zexuan, who left hurriedly after seeing Dan Hanxi.
Only a bored Qin Youxuan remained, sticking by Dan Hanjie’s side, watching him calmly converse with others who approached him and drink.
Soon, she began to feel sleepy.
Dan Hanjie couldn’t bear to see her forcing herself to stay awake; once he noticed something was off, he took her away.
The party was only halfway through when several important figures had already left the scene.
“I’m sorry, senior. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been late today.” Ye Mingmei looked at the man beside her, full of apology.
In a tight-fitting mermaid gown that accentuated her slender waist.
Her fair skin, paired with the pearly gown, made her even more graceful, exuding a quietness that came from within.
“Don’t say that. I was going to attend the Dan Family’s party to accompany you anyway. There’s no being delayed by you,” Jin Chenye smiled warmly and let Ye Mingmei take his arm as he stepped into the banquet hall.
His gentle gaze unconsciously searched for Qin Youxuan’s figure in the room, but upon failing to find her, a flash of disappointment passed, and he lowered his eyes.
It seemed they had indeed arrived late.
“Thirsty? Want something to drink? Champagne or red wine?” Jin Chenye gathered his thoughts and led Ye Mingmei towards the beverage area.
He picked up a glass of red wine, about to hand it to Ye Mingmei, but remembered something and put the glass down.
Taking her to the dessert section, he attentively picked out several pastries that weren’t too sweet for her.
“I remember you didn’t eat much for dinner; have some food to settle your stomach a bit before drinking so you don’t get a stomach ache.”
“Thank you, senior.” Ye Mingmei murmured her thanks, reaching out to take the plate from him, nibbling the pastries elegantly.
As she ate, she couldn’t help but observe the man beside her.
Jin Chenye was truly gentlemanly, quietly staying by her side, and when someone approached to talk to him, he handled it calmly, his gaze fixed on her.
This feeling of being valued and protected was really reassuring.
Ye Mingmei felt much better looking at him and quickly finished the plate of pastries, moving to his side.
