After Sleeping With My Childhood Friend's Best Friends

CHAPTER 58- BANQUET

As Lu Wang Chen had expected, it was clear that she had been hurt so many times, and it was apparent that the hurt would only get deeper one time after the other. Yet, Xiang Yi Mo still hadn’t given up on Qin Chu.

For example—

During the two days, she was resting at home, and she received an invitation to a banquet held by a family in a few days.

In the past, whenever Xiang Yi Mo attended these parties, she would follow her parents or accompany Qin Chu, who never had a female companion beside her.

Now, she heard the three men in the family telling her that Qin Chu would bring Qi Yan as his female companion to this dinner party.

Xiang Yi Mo visibly froze and couldn’t hide the sadness and struggle at the bottom of her peach blossom eyes. “How outrageous, Elder Brother Chu….”

In this circle, everyone was well aware of Xiang Yi Mo’s status as the young madam handpicked by the Qin family, and everyone almost treated Xiang Yi Mo as the future young madam of the Qin family.

So, wasn’t it a blatant embarrassment to her that Qin Chu intended to bring Qi Yan to a high society dinner party?

Even so, Xiang Yi Mo would still attend.

If Xiang Yi Mo were to attend, Jing Qian, Lu Wang Chen and Ji Heng Yu would not stop her, and they would also go.

Because the three people, who usually didn’t even want to mention the word Qin Chu in front of Xiang Yi Mo, were now telling Xiang Yi Mo this news about Qin Chu?

Heh. What kind of good intentions did they have? They were just scheming how to speed up the process of Xiang Yi Mo giving up on Qin Chu.

On the day of the banquet, Xiang Yi Mo wore a scarlet dress that made her skin even paler and brighter. Her dress was cascading and slightly puffed up like a flower bud. The dress was decorated with diamonds in a staggered pattern, like a rose with dripping morning dew.

She appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

She was magnificently beautiful with a quiet and relaxed stance.

She was originally an eye-catcher. However, she was also accompanied by Jing Qian, Lu Wang Chen and Ji Heng Yu, who were all exceptional at everything from their looks to their family backgrounds to their abilities.

At that moment, the people around Xiang Yi Mo were even more eye-catching.

This was even more striking than Qin Chu, who had entered with a woman they had never seen before, not many minutes ago.

Although some of them knew that the young lady of the Xiang family had grown up under the watchful eyes of that few, Miss Xiang had not crossed paths with any of the other three except for Qin Chu on past occasions.

They had also wondered for a while if they either weren’t actually that familiar at all or had grown apart…

So now, at first glance, they were pretty surprised to see them together like this. It made them curious and thought-provoking.

On the contrary, Qin Chu was not surprised by this.

He knew that Xiang Yi Mo would show up but was afraid that Xiang Yi Mo would approach him and stir trouble for him or cause trouble for Qi Yan in front of everyone. Hence, he asked Jing Qian and the three of them to watch Xiang Yi Mo at the party and help him hinder her.

It was true that he had asked them to do so, but it was exactly what they wanted, and they all stood by Xiang Yi Mo’s side.

As Qin Chu looked at them, he felt that the scene over there was somewhat unsightly, and a hint of discomfort inexplicably swept past his heart.

The feeling that something important that belonged to him was going to be lost intensified.

Qin Chu’s hand holding the glass of wine paused, and his gaze unconsciously fell on Xiang Yi Mo as he was lost in his thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yan tightened her grip on the man’s arm and called out to him, “Qin Chu, what’s wrong?”

This voice brought Qin Chu back to his senses and averted his gaze to look at Qi Yan. He said, “Nothing.”
