Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Four Women, One Drama
He only hoped that one day, the dazzling brilliance in those dark eyes would shine because of him, rather than the joy derived from teased encounters.
However, as things seemed now, the journey still appeared quite long, even seemingly endless, with no hope in sight.
Yet he still couldn’t understand why this woman disliked him so much.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianchen furrowed his brows, deeply realizing he couldn’t remain passive any longer. It was time to turn passive into active, and come up with some strategies to figure out this woman’s true intentions to treat accordingly.
With this thought in mind, he suddenly became filled with fighting spirit, and even the previous gloom around him disappeared in an instant. At this moment, he felt full of hope for the future.
Witnessing Zhao Tianchen’s change, Lan Xinxixi disapprovingly commented to her sister, "Xin Ru, how come you didn’t hold back?" Looking at that distorted face of Young Master Zhao, she felt the pain.
Lan Xinru was the type of person who wouldn’t pay heed to anyone when her temper flared. Her sidelong glance skimmed past her sister, sending an equally disdainful message, "As long as he stays far away when he sees me, I guarantee this won’t happen a second time."
Lan Xinxixi instantly gave up, waving her hand and saying, "Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything."
Clearly, these two were destined for each other, one willing to fight, the other willing to endure. What more could she say?
There’s a saying, everything others say is nonsense unless the person involved truly understands it themselves. Aren’t these two a prime example? As long as her stubborn sister fails to grasp Zhao Tianchen’s feelings, everything others say will be futile.
Without anyone nagging her, Lan Xinru became happy, and her goal for tonight wasn’t these people anyway, so there was no need to waste time with unrelated individuals. Her dark eyes scanned the room and quickly focused on the woman beside her brother Lin Mubai. She walked over, shot a sidelong glare at someone, and spoke with impatience in her voice, "Why are you guarding her so closely? None of us are going to do anything to your wife. Go, go, stay somewhere else; the person is mine now."
Lin Mubai, amidst everyone’s laughter, had a head full of black lines. If he hadn’t grown up with her and known she was definitely a woman, he would really think she was becoming a man. Just as the black lines on Lin Mubai’s head hadn’t disappeared, two more figures squeezed in beside him.
No need to think, it’s obvious who the other two figures are; other than Miss Lan and Miss Xi, who just announced her engagement, there wouldn’t be anyone else.
Immediately, Lan Luo came forward and put his arm around Young Master Lan’s shoulder, saying, "Mu Bai, smart men don’t argue with women at times like this." To ensure the party continued smoothly tonight, Lan Luo had to step up at this critical moment. Even if it meant getting in Lin Mubai’s line of fire, he accepted his fate.
Obviously, his contribution paid off somewhat, as Lin Mubai merely rolled his eyes at him without taking further action.
Suddenly, the sound of playing mahjong returned to the room, accompanied by women’s chatter.
Han Xiayang casually discarded a tile, looking at the scene of several women chatting and helplessly muttered, "It’s like four women putting on a show; us excellent men can only stand aside."
