Chapter 449 Interest (3)

Chapter 449 Interest (3)　　Watching Nan Xin's face turned pale while Nan Hua was still as calm as ever, the corner of Long Qian Xing's lips tugged to form a smile.

"Song Chuan, do you think this time it's a genuine smile or the devil smile?"

"I think the latter one." Song Chuan had seen Long Qian Xing scare many others with that smile of his, so he was more inclined in believing that it was naturally a smile that was filled with schemes behind it.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Song Chuan, do you want me to retract my gifts for your marriage?" Long Qian Xing turned his head and looked at Song Chuan with a scowl.

Song Chuan's face turned pale. "It's a genuine smile. Of course, Young Commander Long is a very kind person and will not treat others unfairly."

He had just gotten married a few months ago and Long Qian Xing sent some gifts for him to help him stabilize his status in the Capital City. If those were taken, he didn't know what he would explain to his wife.

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to go against Long Qian Xing in the future at all.

This man basically held the rein for them to follow him all the time.

Long Qian Xing scoffed then lowered his gaze to drink the tea. He could faintly sense several people were staring in his direction even though he was not entirely sure who it was as he didn't remember all of their names.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's voice rang out once more. "Wow, I didn't expect the little missy from Shangguan Family to be staring at you. Tsk, tsk, she's acting like a pure little lotus, but her attention is clearly on you."

Among the three of them, Lin Yuan was clearly the most sensitive towards women's gaze and action. He had spent most of his time in Red District to expand his business, so he was also familiar with these women's little tricks.

"Hmm?" Long Qian Xing swept his gaze across the hall once before turning his attention back to his tea. It was as if the best attraction in the world was this ordinary cup of tea.

Song Chuan's lips curled up to form a sneer. "There are too many people who will want to target you, Qian Xing. Even though you already have an engagement with Young Miss Nan, the position as your concubines will be quite attractive."

Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows. He had no interest of taking a concubine because he had seen how having relationship with several people at once could destroy someone. If there was someone who tried to get close to him, he would kick them later on without even paying any attention to those women.

He had no time to care about them either.

"Do you want me to deal with her?" Lin Yuan asked with a grin. It was easy peasy for him to deal with a small concubine. His network had expanded greatly over the past three years that he had many connections.

Long Qian Xing passed a look at Lin Yuan. "You can just focus on the matter of your business rather than minding about me."

"I'm just worried that my friend will be eaten alive by a witch." Lin Yuan was speechless.

"She won't be able to do anything to me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Long Qian Xing had even played his cunning and ruthless sister around his finger. This concubine daughter might be smart, but Long Qian Xing knew that she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

He would just wait to see what she had in store.

"Oh right, did your father return this time?"

"He's still busy." Long Qian Xing didn't care that much. His father didn't spend much time in the residence that Long Qian Xing's relationship with his father was naturally strained. Based on the memory of the original Long Qian Xing, he spent most of his time alone during his childhood to study or training.

His mother died when he was still very young.

His grandmother was busy to maintain the residence that her interaction with the young Long Qian Xing was very lacking.

His father only came home very occasionally.

His older sister used him to gain their father's attention and eventually bore hatred after some several failures. She even went as far as wishing for his death.

'Come to think about it, I haven't heard her do anything lately.' Long Qian Xing sipped the tea while his mind was wandering around. Despite doing that, he was still consciously paying attention to those who were watching him from a distance away.

Song Chuan glanced at Long Qian Xing as he knew that it would be impossible for them to talk more. "I'll move to another table. Thank you for giving me your time, Young Commander Long."

Lin Yuan followed suit, acting as if they were unfamiliar with each other.

Of course, Long Qian Xing only nodded. His nonchalant yet polite attitude was very common for those who had seen him from time to time.

…

Back to Nan Hua.

Nan Hua noticed that Shangguan Mi was staring at her fiancé from time to time, trying to attract his attention. However, even after the two men near Long Qian Xing left, Long Qian Xing still didn't even glance in her direction.

The young girl was a big vexed, but she calmed herself down.

At this moment, Nan Hua felt a bit uncomfortable deep in her heart for a moment. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly, wondering what this unfamiliar feeling was. It only came for a fleeting moment, but Nan Hua could sense it clearly.

"As you can see, she's very troublesome." Shangguan Die sighed.

"Do you come here to tell this to me?" Nan Hua asked.

"Mhm, I'm just telling you that I'm going to help her out a bit." Shangguan Die put down the teacup. "I hope that you wouldn't mind. Don't worry, I'll figure out a method to clean up the mess afterwards."

Nan Hua stared at Shangguan Die with her black obsidian eyes. It was hard to guess what she was thinking within her clear gaze.
