Chapter 123 - You’re Very Handsome Tonight
Nan Yao stood not too far behind Zhuang Jingjing. She did not intend to step up and speak up for the manager. This manager was clearly a snob and it would be nice for Zhuang Jingjing to scare him a little and take him down a few pegs.
He would probably be scared of getting complaints after all the effort it took to get the position of Huangting’s manager!
However, the manager immediately waved to the security officers in the next second. The security officers moved forward immediately and grabbed Zhuang Jingjing and Yu Xiaoting before pushing them towards the entrance without a care.
Zhuang Jingjing was so afraid that she lost all the color on her face. She shouted at Nan Yao, “Yaoyao, I don’t want to be kicked out. Save me, quick…”
Nan Yao’s expression was already very dark. Her fingernails sunk into her palm. She walked to the manager and said with slight anger, “Manager, how can you treat my guests like this?”
It would be very embarrassing for her if Zhuang Jinging and Yu Xiaoting were kicked out!
The manager’s smile remained unchanged. “Miss Nan, this is the rule of Huangting. Miss Nan can bring your relatives and friends to another banquet venue if you’re unhappy.”
Nan Yao’s chest heaved up and down in anger.
It was very detestable for a mere manager to not show and regard towards the Nan family! Who did he think he was? Could he afford to offend them?
The manager stopped talking to Nan Yao. He walked to the number one ballroom and knocked on the door politely. Nan Yao saw that his expression was very respectful when he pushed the door and entered the ballroom. It was completely different from the snobbish manner he had when he spoke to Zhuang Jingjing and herself earlier.
He was just a stupid lackey who looked down on people!
Nan Yao forced back the urge to rush into the number one ballroom to see who was celebrating their birthday. She gritted her teeth as she returned to the number two ballroom.
…
Halfway through the meal, several people started to speak louder after drinking. “Miss Nan Yao, isn’t Stephen performing for the grand finale? Won’t you invite him out earlier? We can’t wait to see him!”
Nan Yao lost her appetite. Her expression darkened as her fingernails pressed painfully into her palms.
Nan Weiye already knew that Stephen was not invited by Bo Shaoxiu. His expression darkened when he heard someone mention Stephen. He felt as if he had lost all of his face.
He glared coldly at Nan Yao. His gaze was laced with hidden anger, as if he was saying that there would not be such a misunderstanding if it was not for her friends making a ruckus when they saw Stephen.
Nan Yao was so afraid that she started to tremble. Her tears started to well in her eyes and almost fell.
Bo Shaoxiu noticed Nan Yao looking a little odd. He grabbed her small hands and said to her softly, “It’s all a misunderstanding. It’ll be fine after we explain to everyone.”
However, Nan Yao knew that it was not just a misunderstanding. Nan Weiye, who was particularly sensitive about his reputation, would definitely put the blame of this incident on her.
“Shaoxiu, can people bully others because they’re rich and powerful? It’s my mother’s birthday today. The person in the number one ballroom also has their birthday today. Do you think they did it on purpose?”
…
Nan Yao had guessed correctly. Mu Sihan has definitely arranged everything in the number one ballroom on purpose.
He would give his little kitten everything she could not get in the Nan family.
There was delicious food, a high-class musical and a romantic atmosphere.
She was also accompanied by two extremely handsome men.
Nan Zhi felt like she was in a dream.
When the musical was ending, she turned her head slightly to look at the man sitting next to Xiaojie.
She did not know when he took off his suit jacket and vest. His tie was also loosened slightly as he leaned against the backrest of the chair lazily with his long legs crossed. His well-defined facial features appeared handsome and sexy under the lighting. He was swirling a glass of red wine with his fingers while he had a smirk on one side of his lips in a charming and devilish manner.
There was a strange and complicated feeling growing in Nan Zhi’s heart.
She really did not expect that this hot-tempered man would put so much effort into celebrating her birthday. Maybe it was because he made her happy tonight, but she observed him several times. It surprised even herself.
Apart from having a bad temper and being completely unpredictable, he ate exceptionally slowly in a elegant and noble manner. It was as if he was born into aristocracy.
“Miss Nan, this is the dessert…”
The waiter repeated himself twice, however, Nan Zhi continued to ignore him.
Nan Zhi felt a sharp pain in her calf suddenly. She was kicked impolitely by the man. The man, who had been looked at by her several times that night, shouted at her, “Why are you always looking at me? Do you believe that I’ll kiss you if you look one more time?”
Xiaojie was still engrossed by the musical and did not hear what Mu Sihan said clearly. However, Nan Zhi and the waiter heard it. Nan Xiaojie sent a glare to the shameless man in embarrassment. “There’s nothing much to see anyway. I’d merely found that you’re rather handsome tonight.”
Mu Sihan froze.
A few seconds later, he said with a strange expression, “Are you crazy? When am I not handsome?” With that said, he looked away from Nan Zhi first and never looked back.
Nan Zhi touched her nose in confusion. Was he being shy?
Impossible .
There was no way he was so pure and innocent, with his fierce and shameless self, right? Would he be shy with just a slight word of praise that he was handsome?
It must be her illusion!
