From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 570: Mutual Jealousy (4)

Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head and fixed his eyes on Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling’s expression was very serious. She let go of his hand. However, her other hand was still latched onto his arm.

Although Jian Yiling’s hands appeared small and soft, she had quite a lot of strength in them.

She firmly held onto Zhai Yunsheng’s arm. It was as though she was worried that Zhai Yunsheng would run away from her.

After a while, Zhai Yunsheng finally reacted. He began to laugh.

He tried to use his hand to cover his smile. However, that only made his smile even more obvious.

His smile became more and more unrestrained.

Jian Yiling was rather confused. She raised her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng.

Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan also stared at Zhai Yunsheng...

After laughing for a while, Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yiling: “Let’s go.”

Zhai Yunsheng gestured for Jian Yiling to leave with him.

However, Jian Yiling did not understand Zhai Yunsheng’s words.

Ahh... Sure enough, her brain did not work very well when it came to these kinds of things.

Zhai Yunsheng took a look at her confused face before he said: “Well, aren’t you my female companion? Shouldn’t you come along with me?”

Jian Yiling paused for a moment. It seemed as though that made sense.

However, she was still wondering why she reacted like that just now.

Despite that, she left the lounge room with Zhai Yunsheng.

However, when they exited the lounge room, Jian Yiling began to feel embarrassed. There were a lot of people outside.

As she tried to let go of Zhai Yunsheng, he suddenly pulled at her hand.

The smile was still there on Zhai Yunsheng’s face.

He lowered his head and whispered in Jian Yiling’s ear: “You can’t get out of this. Miss Yufan said that she was going to be my female companion for tonight. As you shooed away my female companion, shouldn’t you compensate for my loss?”

“I guess...” Jian Yiling replied in a small voice. She did not have much confidence as she said this.

Ahhh, impulsiveness was the devil.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng’s smile intensified.

Then, he glanced at Jian Yiling’s neck: “Don’t hide the jade pendant.”

Jian Yiling was wearing the jade pendant given by Zhai Yunsheng.

Typically, Jian Yiling would hide the pendant in her clothes. Today, she hid the jade pendant in her evening dress.

It was reasonable for Jian Yiling to hide the pendant when she was wearing casual clothes.

However, she must show the pendant today.

And thus, Zhai Yunsheng adjusted the pendant for Jian Yiling. He made sure that the pendant could be seen on her fair neck.

The black rope and nearly transparent jade pendant complemented Jian Yiling’s outfit today.

Furthermore, it looked nice with Zhai Yunsheng’s suit as well.

Qin Yufan remained in the lounge room. Her expression was not very happy. As there were no outsiders in the room, a slither of hurt appeared on her face.

She knew that she lost. She lost completely.

This was the first time that she saw Zhai Yunsheng smile in that way.

That smile was filled with love and happiness. That smile was from the bottom of his heart.

It was something that she wanted in the past.

However, he gave it all to Jian Yiling.

And thus, she lost. However, the reason for her defeat had nothing to do with Jian Yiling. She knew him well before he knew Jian Yiling. However, she still failed to get him to like her.

Despite this, she was still jealous of Jian Yiling. Only Jian Yiling would receive his full attention and affection.

Yet, it was only jealousy.

Qin Yufan glanced at Qin Chuan. She noticed that he was looking in the direction of the door. Qin Chuan had an anxious expression on his face: “Hm? Are you upset? Then why did you not do anything?”

“Why didn’t you do anything?” Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.

“I’ve tried everything already.”

“Well, I don’t like her in that way. I’m just worried about her,” Qin Chuan explained.

“Stop lying to yourself. Be true to yourself. Anyone can see that you treat her differently,” Qin Yufan said. It was as though she could read his heart.

Then, Qin Yufan also left the lounge room.

After Qin Yufan left, Qin Chuan stayed in the room for a long time. He did not move at all.

Qin Yufan’s words were still echoing in his ears.
