Chapter 586: Chapter 586 Reunion_1

Xia Qingtian had recently been busy preparing for her company’s public listing, keeping her alert and attentive.

Such a significant event, she was of course not deaf to the buzz.

However, she had always imagined that Zhu Wei, who managed to woo a wealthy woman and inherit her billion-dollar estate, would be a stunningly handsome man.

At the very least, he should not be far behind the likes of Bo Jingyan or Huo Qilin.

But to her surprise, he turned out to be quite ordinary-looking, even slightly greasy appearing.

That’s why she hadn’t immediately associated him with the Zhu Wei from the rumors.

Xia Qingtian was surprised, but it wasn’t her place to comment on Zhu Wei’s appearance.

After all, everyone has their own tastes; perhaps the heiress had a certain preference for Zhu Wei, or he may have special charismatic traits unknown to her.

With these thoughts, Xia Qingtian prepared to look away.

But then, perhaps her gaze was a little too intense, Zhu Wei looked her way, and their eyes met in the air.

She was caught off guard for a moment, but quickly recovered.

Out of courtesy, she nodded at Zhu Wei in acknowledgment of his presence.

Yet Zhu Wei’s eyes immediately lit up, and he extricated himself from the crowd surrounding him, walking briskly toward her directon.

Upon reaching her, he handed Xia Qingtian a business card, saying, "Hello, I’m Zhu Wei from Dafu Group..."

It’s only right to accept kindness with kindness, so Xia Qingtian took a card from her handbag and handed it to him, introducing herself as well, "Hello, I’m Xia Qingtian from Star Entertainment."

"Pleased to meet you." Zhu Wei extended his hand towards her.

Xia Qingtian reached out and shook his hand, saying, "Me too."

After the usual pleasantries, she wanted to retract her hand, but Zhu Wei held on tight, without any intention of letting go, keeping his eyes glued to her.

She felt really uncomfortable under his gaze.

She furrowed her brows and reminded him, "Mr. Zhu, could you please let go of my hand?"

As she spoke, she tried discreetly to pull her hand away.

Zhu Wei, noting her slight blush from exerting effort, his interest piqued, surprisingly loosened his grip right when she tried harder to wrench her hand free.

Xia Qingtian was caught off guard and stumbled several steps backward due to the momentum.

"Oh Miss Xia, be careful." Zhu Wei’s eyes betrayed a smug grin, yet his words were full of feigned concern. He took two steps forward, ready to steady her with a hug.

Yet, Xia Qingtian managed to quickly grab hold of a table nearby that held champagne glasses, steadying herself in the nick of time.

Seeing Zhu Wei’s outstretching hand, she didn’t hesitate to slap it away.

"Don’t touch me!" She frowned, unable to hide the distaste in her voice.

However, Zhu Wei didn’t appear offended but explained with a smile, "Miss Xia, I just saw that you were about to fall, I only wanted to assist you. Please don’t misunderstand."

As he spoke, his gaze was undeniably admiring as it traveled over Xia Qingtian.

Beautiful! Truly beautiful!

Not just her face, but her figure as well.

Despite living abroad for many years, he still preferred native women.

Further, he did not expect that women in the mainland had such high standards. At his first business party back in his country, he had already encountered a stunning beauty – exactly his type!

And she even owned an entertainment company.

If the boss was this gorgeous, the actresses in the company couldn’t be far off.

Xia Qingtian was unaware of Zhu Wei’s thoughts, but his scrutiny made her feel as though she was being preyed upon by a venomous snake.

She broke out in chills all over.

Her impression of Zhu Wei was decidedly unfavorable to say the least, and she had no intentions of engaging further with him.

"Mr. Zhu, I apologize, but I have an urgent phone call to attend to. I must excuse myself." Without waiting for him to respond, she hastily excused herself from the situation.

She departed from the banquet hall and headed outside.

Just as she was leaving, the banquet hall doors opened once again and Bo Jingyan strode in, with Shi Qian trailing closely behind him.

"Brother Jingyan, don’t walk so fast, wait for me." Shi Qian, holding her skirt, struggled to keep up.

Bo Jingyan ahead did not slow down nor show any intention of accommodating her, instead, he turned around with an expressionless face and said coldly, "Keep up if you can, if not, go back."

Having said that, he paid no attention to Shi Qian. He entered the banquet hall, ignoring the people who were trying to introduce themselves and seek potential collaborations. Instead, his eyes rapidly scanned over the crowd.

The banquet hall was teeming with people, but even so, by just spotting the back of someone walking away, he managed to find the person he was looking for -

Xia Qingtian!

Bo Jingyan initially had no intention of attending today’s business banquet.

In the business world today, he was an influential figure, with no need to oblige himself to socialize. However, upon hearing that the organizers had also sent invites to Xia Qingtian, he had changed his mind.

Actually, when he had decided to come, he was not sure whether Xia Qingtian would definitely attend.

But since there was a fifty percent chance Xia Qingtian would attend,

Bo Jingyan was willing to take the gamble.

Lately, Shi Qian and his mother had been keeping a close watch on him, leaving him with no opportunity to seek out Xia Qingtian. Yet today, there was finally an opportunity for legitimate contact with her.

Now that the opportunity had come, he would not let it slip past in any case.

Luckily, fortune favored him, as Xia Qingtian did attend. She even stood out so much that he found her at first glance.

Bo Jingyan looked back and saw that Shi Qian had fallen behind, currently searching for him.

But with so many people in the banquet hall and her petite stature, she was blocked in the middle of the crowd and wouldn’t find him right away.

Thus, without any hesitation, he set off in the direction Xia Qingtian had gone.

He happened to see her limping to an outdoor viewing platform and sitting down by a stone table, her face tight with discomfort as she bent over to rub her ankle.

However, because of the dress she was wearing, her movements seemed quite difficult.

Annoyed, she kicked off her high heels and with her delicately beautiful face inflamed, she looked like a puffed up puffer fish.

Seeing Xia Qingtian like this, a soft smile flickered in Bo Jingyan’s deep eyes. At the same time, feelings of longing washed over him like a tidal wave, becoming relentless and unmanageable.

He picked up the discarded shoe and walked over to her. His voice, laden with gentleness, asked, "What happened? Why so angry?"
