Chapter 37: Gentleman

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Can I have the honor of having this dance with you, milady?” A hand suddenly appeared in front of her. It was obvious from just one look that it was well-groomed. Yun Xiangxiang raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.

He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His short haircut was stylish. He had handsome features and looked elegant. He had the noble air of an English gentleman. The azure tuxedo he wore was obviously bespoke. The watch he was wearing was at least double the worth of Fang Nanyuan’s!

“Sorry, I don’t really know how to dance.” Yun Xiangxiang unequivocally rejected him.

Who knew which family this young master belonged to. She didn’t want to have anything to do with the people of this level.

The man was refined. He did not show any expression of displeasure even though he was rejected. He took a glass of champagne with his hand that was now taken back. “That’s a shame, then I can only treat this beautiful lady to a glass of drink.”

This wouldn’t be easy to refuse. Yun Xiangxiang took a glass of champagne and toasted him politely before taking a sip.

“My name is Jiang Zexun.” He said his name naturally.

A person with the surname Jiang that could come here. His Mandarin still had the Hong Kong accent even though it was quite standard. Obviously he belonged to the only big Jiang Family in Hong Kong. Yun Xiangxiang made note of this information while she smiled, “Yun Xiangxiang.”

Jiang Zexun furrowed his brow and was silent for a while.

“Young Sir Jiang, you don’t need to think so much. I am not some socialite. There won’t be anything about my family background appearing in your memory.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to dismiss Jiang Zexun just yet. She already saw a lot of people throwing their gaze at her. There would still be other people trying to hit on her if Jiang Zexun left.

Well, it was her being so beautiful that caused all this to happen.

At least Jiang Zexun felt like a courteous man. He was gentlemanly and mild-mannered.

“Sorry,” Jiang Zexun said gently, “I think out of habit.”

“I understand.” Yun Xiangxiang laughed.

Jiang Zexun noticed that the beautiful lady in front of him didn’t have the awkwardness and bashfulness of a little girl, even though she was obviously so young. The way she talked and acted didn’t seem callow. She also acted with grace when she said that she wasn’t a socialite. She stayed polite and distant even when she knew his identity. He felt that this was special and charismatic. That was why he wanted to converse with her.

Yun Xiangxiang’s cultural heritage was absolutely rich thanks to the host body’s background. When the experience of her past life as Hua Xiangrong was added to that, it wasn’t hard talking to Jiang Zexun.

However, Yun Xiangxiang felt that he was being accommodating to her. Among ten young noblemen, half of them were top students; the other half were geniuses. They would have sailed the ocean of society for a thousand times when they were twenty-seven or twenty-eight. They would have basically seen everything and every kind of person.

“Sister Xiangxiang!” Qin Lang the little saviour lunged at her when Yun Xiangxiang almost couldn’t continue the conversation.

Yun Xiangxiang scooped him up immediately. She frowned when she noticed that no one was following him, “How come you are alone?”

The little devil was just trying to say something when he saw Jiang Zexun and his expression changed. He tried to pull Yun Xiangxiang and nudged her aside, “Sister Xiang, I want to go to the restroom. Please accompany me.”

“Little Lang, I’ll go with you.” Jiang Zexun looked at Yun Xiangxiang before speaking.

“I am not a beauty. You’re wasting your time accompanying me.” Qin Lang imposed a large figure even if his literal figure wasn’t.

Yun Xiangxiang was dumbfounded. She did not expect the little guy to blurt out these words.

Qin Lang tried his best to pull Yun Xiangxiang outside without giving a chance for Jiang Zexun to open his mouth again. Yun Xiangxiang could only follow his momentum. She turned her head around and gestured to Song Meng and Li Xiangling to tell them to wait for her here.

“Sister Xiangxiang, that third son of Jiang is an absolute playboy. He changes girlfriends faster than he changes his clothes. Please don’t talk to him from now on.” The little guy said to Yun Xiangxiang sternly after he dragged her out of the great hall to the walkway.

This little guy that tried to be an adult amused Yun Xiangxiang. She bent down and patted Qin Lang’s head, “Okay, I’ll remember that.”

Qin Lang relaxed his face upon hearing this. He dragged Yun Xiangxiang forward and actually arrived at a restroom. He walked in there alone while asking Yun Xiangxiang to wait for him outside.

“I’ll also go to the restroom. Wait for me here if you came out first.”

They entered the men’s and ladies’ restroom respectively after settling things with Qin Lang. Yun Xiangxiang picked the innermost cubicle.

She had a habit of picking the innermost cubicle or sink whenever she washed her hands or used the restroom.

A loud crash came from outside when she turned the doorknob and was just getting out. A French sentence was mixed within the apology made in Mandarin.

She didn’t hear it completely due to the distance. However, she did catch some keywords: Tonight, kill, K.

Her legs turned to lead all of a sudden. It became hard to even breathe. The one who spoke did not enter. He probably told this to another person. Yun Xiangxiang guessed that the both of them maybe passed by the restroom by coincidence. The voice wouldn’t grow weaker any other way.

She didn’t dare step out of the restroom. Murder was a horrifying thought for her. Especially in an event where celebrities congregated. Could they even escape if they caused a ruckus?

Or perhaps they didn’t plan to leave here alive. However, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to become collateral damage. She swore that she would stay away from these events after this night.

“Sister Xiangxiang?” Qin Lang called out to her from outside. Yun Xiangxiang stabilised her emotions before going out.

She immediately took Qin Lang and left hurriedly. She got to somewhere she felt safe before asking, “Ah Lang, did you hear anyone talking when you were in the restroom?”

“Yeah, but I didn’t hear it clearly.” Qin Lang also heard voices near the door. It seemed like the janitor bumped into a guest. He heard voices of apology.

“Ah Lang, no matter who you meet later, do not tell them that you went to the first floor’s restroom if they asked where you went.” There were only two kinds of people that would dare pull this kind of stunt in this kind of place. One would be desperados, and the other would most probably be a mole.

Qin Lang nodded seriously.

Yun Xiangxiang took a deep breath before bringing Qin Lang into the great hall with a relaxed expression. She searched the hall quickly. It was fortunate that Han Jing and the people from the Qin Family noticed Qin Lang’s disappearance. They guessed that he was looking for her, so they brought some family members and stood by Song Meng’s side.

Yun Xiangxiang took Qin Lang and walked over to where Han Jing and the others were without any delay. She handed Qin Lang over to Han Jing, “Sister Jing, I need to talk to you.”

Han Jing was curious as she had not seen Yun Xiangxiang looking this grim before. Nonetheless, she still took the three of them to a bedroom on the second floor. She had a resting space all to herself. Yun Xiangxiang closed the door and checked the resting space once she entered.

“What happened?” Han Jing was growing concerned.

Yun Xiangxiang confirmed that there wasn’t anything wrong before dragging Han Jing to the centre and whispered what she heard earlier to her.

Han Jing felt incredulous. In any case, she was the eldest daughter-in-law for a powerful family for a decade. She did hear about stories like these even if she did not experience it.
