Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack

Chapter 8

[ I feel moved...I'm a bit afraid. ZiXi ge, can I hold such high hopes? –XunMi]

—————

Based on what she's read, the Qin family situation was dangerous. After all, there were the Fei and Luo families. With the three families maintaining their current power status, trying to move up would be difficult.

But if they had Tan ZiXi's support, then things would be more convenient. Even though the air between the two of them was a bit ambiguous, XunMi had still made this decision.

Tan Zixi's hand clutching his champagne glass froze for a moment, as he looked at XunMi with a gaze more blindingly bright than the starry sky of night. "Alright, bring your drafted documents and come find me."

His original intention was to help her. Now that she had taken the initiative and asked, he was delighted. Could this mean that she trusts him, and wants to turn to him for help? His heart was beaming.

No, he must quickly have Kevin prepare information regarding all of Qin family's properties, industries, and projects so that he can help her draw up the most suitable proposals.

Kevin, currently walking amongst guests, suddenly sneezed. I keep having an ominous feeling.

"Mr. Kevin, are you alright?" The Fei family head worriedly asked.

Kevin shook his head: "No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Thanks for elder's care. Where were we? Oh right! Your son...." The two then entered in another round of mutual flattery, while attempting to stealthily gain useful information from each other.

Even though she had been about 90% sure that Tan ZiXi wouldn't refuse her proposal, XunMi was still a little touched by his response. "ZiXi ge..." she murmured softly, fully aware of her heart beating.

Her heart seems to be a bit of a mess. She unconsciously frowned, then sighed. Forget it, we'll think about it when we get there. Let's first get this mission done.

Tan ZiXi seemed a bit confused as he looked at XunMi, as if waiting for her to continue her words. XunMi laughed, "I just feel that ZiXi ge is kind, very good." Good to the point that she's developed a bit of affections, just don't know if this is a good thing or...

"I'm only good to you." Tan ZiXi's lips moved before his brain did. His gaze remained fixated on XunMi, a complex mixture of awkwardness, nervousness, and anticipation.

XunMi stepped forward, very lightly hugged Tan ZiXi, then swiftly let go. She rapidly blinked up at him before mischievously saying, "ZiXi ge, please sit. I'm going over there for a second." She then turned and slipped away, only leaving behind a fire red view of her back that, under the illuminating light, made her dress appear to sparkle, causing numerous guests' heartstrings to tug in the process. The image also evoked a harsh feeling of loneliness and bleakness, her proud stature more beautiful and stubborn than a plum blossom standing upright amidst a blanket of snow.

"Little Zhen (referring to Luo Zhen), I think this Eldest Miss isn't like what the rumors say she is."

Fei ZhenZhi held a wine glass, tilting the wine slightly while scrutinizing the girl in the red gown blending into the crowd. His originally carefree face also exposed a sense of seriousness, the expression in his eyes difficult to decipher.

Luo Zhen placed his empty wine glass onto a worker's tray, picked up a glass of orange juice, and headed towards the balcony. No matter what Eldest Miss Qin was like, he wasn't going to probe into the situation. Now that she's gained the interest of that person, would there even be room for anyone else? Rather than suffer grief and pain later on, it's better to avoid her from the start.
