Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Mr. Yi, Have You Seen My Husband?

“You too, Miss Ji. You are so much prettier in real life than on television or in photos. You are glowing, unlike other female celebrities who cake themselves with makeup. Some of them make me think that all of their photos were photoshopped. They don’t look good in real life at all.” Xiao Si stood up and shook her hand. He glanced at Zhong Yi casually.

Zhong Yi wanted to vomit blood. Why did they have to drag Yu Shengyou and herself into this?

The corner of Luo Sang’s lips curved into a smile. She was chuckling on the inside. The two of them had used the opportunity to throw shade at the other two at the same table. She realized that she was only a bit player in tonight’s show, even though she was the one with grievances and old scores to settle. The people around her were so fired up. Zhong Yi had probably offended too many people in the past.

“Miss Ji, you’re mistaken. He’s not my boyfriend. He’s Xiao Si, my boyfriend’s good buddy,” Luo Sang explained gently.

“Laugh to death?” Ji Nuanyi was stunned, but she quickly realized that she was being rude and nodded. “Oh yeah? I’m sorry, your name is quite special and interesting.”

Xiao Si’s smiling face froze, and he said, “Xiao means ‘charismatic,’ and Si means ‘brave and uninhibited.'”

Ji Nuanyi nodded. “My name is Ji Nuanyi. I’ll be sitting beside you tonight, Mr. Xiao.”

“Do you want to change seats with me, since you are friends with Luo Sang?” Xiao Si offered.

“Thank you, then.” Ji Nuanyi accepted his kind gesture.

The moment they took their seats, Yi Jingxi appeared, looking grim. His face was as pale as snow. Luo Sang felt something stuck in her throat. What had Nian Junting done?

Yi Jingxi was always enigmatic and hard to figure out. She was always infuriated whenever she bumped into him. It was rare to see him so livid.

Yi Jingxi took his seat and stared at Luo Sang with fury.

She felt uncomfortable and irritated, so she said, “Mr. Yi, have you seen my husband? He went to the men’s room as well.”

Yi Jingxi was hopping mad. He was just about to say something when Luo Sang suddenly cast her gaze somewhere behind him. She was smiling ear to ear at Nian Junting, who was walking suavely with his hands in his pockets.

He frowned when he caught sight of the stranger sitting beside Luo Sang. “Why did you change your seat, Xiao Si? Who is this woman?”

“This is Ji Nuanyi. I was telling you about her,” Luo Sang explained hastily. “I didn’t expect to bump into her here. Miss Ji, this is my boyfriend, Nian Junting.”

“Hello, Mr. Nian,” Ji Nuanyi said politely. She noticed how wary he was with strangers and decided to address him more formally.

“Hmm.” Nian Junting nodded at her in acknowledgment. Look, his woman was introducing him as her boyfriend.

“What did you say to Yi Jingxi in the men’s room?” Luo Sang whispered curiously.

“It’s a secret between men.”

“…”

The charity event started promptly at eight o’clock. It was an auction of donated items, and the proceeds would go to a foundation for children with leukemia. The first item was a landscape painting by a modern contemporary artist. It wasn’t a historical collectible, so the bid started off at $10,000.

At $30,000, Nian Junting suddenly raised his hand. “One hundred thousand dollars.”

The host was shocked, as the painting was overpriced even at $30,000. “One hundred thousand dollars by Mr. Nian, what a generous man!”
