Chapter 225 Poaching
The entire hall was resplendent. Everyone was chatting with a glass of wine in hand. The moment Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao entered, the hall became silent. Everyone was stunned to see the two of them.
The man had a tall and straight figure. He was so handsome and bewitching. His aura was as powerful as an ancient emperor. The woman was devastatingly beautiful like the legendary elven princess. She was noble and elegant. The two of them were a match made in heaven.
After a moment of silence, everyone finally came back to their senses. They had never seen such a match, such a beautiful couple. They were simply like the princess and prince in fairy tales. The crowd could not help but discuss among themselves.
“This man looks so fine as the poem describes, ‘The beauty in the noble is as good as jade, while the handsome young man is unmatched in the world’.”
“That’s right, he is simply the legendary prince.”
“The woman is also very beautiful. Just like the poem from the Eastern Empire says, when she turns around, her smile charms all the living beings.”
“That’s right, both of them look like the princess and the prince in the fairy tale.”
Merlin was also shocked just now, but now that she came back to her senses, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her face. Nevertheless, she kept a sweet smile on her face as she gracefully walked over. With red wine in her hands, she handed a glass to Xi Chenxiao and said,
“Chairman Xi, welcome. Who is this?”
Xi Chenxiao looked coldly at Merlin and did not take the wine glass from her. Instead, he nodded and pulled Su Jin closer by her waist. He said calmly,
“Miss Merlin, this is my wife.”
When Merlin heard this, her expression changed instantly. Then, she handed the wine glass to Su Jin with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. How could she let someone snatch away the man that she liked? She said with a smile,
“Chairman Xi, there’s a rule here. Latecomers have to drink three glasses in a row.”
As she said this, Merlin gave Xi Chenxiao a flirtatious look. Her fiery red lips curved into a smile as she brushed her long, blonde wavy hair. She seduced Xi Chenxiao in front of the public. Her eyes were full of pride as she said,
“I’ve heard that you’re not good at drinking, shall I ask your Madam to drink it then?”
Then, she took a glance elsewhere to hide the jealousy in her eyes. After all, Chairman Xi was such an outstanding man. How could he be matched with such an ordinary girl? To Merlin, she was the only match for Xi Chenxiao. Su Jin felt speechless, she took over the glass of wine. Did she offend this woman? Why did she became the woman’s rival upon arrival? Suddenly, she recalled that Xi Shi mentioned about this woman who was fond of Xi Chenxiao. Was the reason why this woman was trying to pick fight with her?
“I’m sorry, she doesn’t drink either.”
As he said this, Xi Chenxiao took the wine glass from Su Jin’s hand and placed it on the table. Merlin felt Xi Chenxiao’s cold attitude. She became irritated but she faked a smile and asked,
“Really? Then what do you say, Madam?”
Yesterday, she heard it from Xi Chenxiao’s assistant, Xi Shi that this little girl in front was just an ordinary student who was a mute. Moreover, this girl seemed to be a little piece of trash. How could this girl be with the noble Chairman Xi?
Just as Su Jin was about to speak, Xi Chenxiao shook Su Jin’s hand and signaled her not to speak. He would handle everything. Xi Chenxiao did not want Su Jin to get harmed, so he said coldly,
“Miss Merlin, I’m here for business.”
When Merlin heard this, she realized that it was inappropriate to keep them at the entrance of the hall. Soon, she had a new plan in mind. She smiled apologetically and said,
“I’m so sorry, it’s my bad. Chairman Xi, Mrs Xi, please come this way.”
Xi Chenxiao nodded. He put his arm around Su Jin’s waist and followed Merlin. Merlin brought them to the guest seats and smiled at Su Jin,
“Miss Su, please enjoy yourself with the refreshment here. I have some business discussion with Chairman Xi. You might not understand even if you come along. You’d be bored if you join us too, right?”
