Chapter 7: The Elite Circle’s Joke …

A worm?!  

Ye Bai stared at Xia Shihan in disbelief! In her eyes, he was nothing but a worm!

“Miss Xia, some words, once spoken, can’t be taken back.” Ye Bai’s gaze turned cold, his tone icy. He wasn’t some pushover like Lin Tai—those who crossed him paid the price!

“Do you really think this lapdog deserves you?” His words came from the heart. Regardless of the reason, in his eyes, Lin Tai was a useless simp, unworthy of Xia Shihan.

Only a prodigy like himself could match her.

“True, he doesn’t deserve her.” The sound of elegant high heels clicking on the floor echoed as Xiao Yuxuan approached slowly, a wine glass swaying lightly in her hand. Her gaze swept over the three of them.

“What’s Yuxuan planning to do?” The surrounding crowd watched as Xiao Yuxuan stepped toward the trio, all ready for a show.

Everyone knew Xiao Yuxuan and Xia Shihan were at odds, and by extension, she despised Lin Tai, the simp, just as much. She’d humiliated him publicly more than once before.

Now that Xiao Yuxuan had appeared, it was obvious she’d side with Ye Bai.

“The Lin family’s banquet is getting more entertaining by the minute.” What started as a clash between Lin Tai and Ye Bai now seemed poised to turn into a showdown between Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan.

Ye Bai’s eyes also locked onto Xiao Yuxuan.

He’d investigated her background too, intending to win her over. His original plan was to create an opportunity to meet her after the banquet and use his “charm playbook” to win her over. He hadn’t expected her to approach him today.

No need for deliberate effort—her rivalry with Xia Shihan was well-documented.

Their only common ground was their mutual disdain for Lin Tai, though Xia Shihan’s behavior was now an anomaly. But Xiao Yuxuan wouldn’t waver. She’d surely help him, giving him an excuse to get closer to her later.

As for Xia Shihan, he wasn’t worried. Once she learned his true identity, she’d cooperate, and he’d gradually win her over. Everything was going according to plan.

Lin Tai snapped out of his shock. Xia Shihan, this heroine, was unreliable now.

But no panic—Xiao Yuxuan, the second heroine, would surely side with Ye Bai. He pinned all his hopes on her.

Seeing the wine glass in Xiao Yuxuan’s hand, he knew it was meant to be splashed on him.

With that in mind, Lin Tai stepped forward, making it easier for her to reach him.

Come on, come on, splash me already!  

“Xia Shihan indeed doesn’t deserve Lin Tai.” Xiao Yuxuan stopped in front of Lin Tai, her red lips parting slightly. Her gaze, soft and intimate, fell on his face, as if he were her most precious treasure.

Xiao Yuxuan desperately wanted to hug him, but she knew now wasn’t the time.

“And he’s not someone you can insult.” Suddenly, she raised her glass, and the crimson wine splashed across Ye Bai’s handsome face.

Ye Bai never saw it coming. He’d let his guard down and didn’t dodge!

Only when the red wine dripped from his temple again did he realize he’d been splashed—by Xiao Yuxuan!

“What the hell is going on?” Forget Ye Bai—the surrounding rich heirs were the most shocked.

They knew Xiao Yuxuan’s temperament and could imagine her splashing wine. But she got the wrong target!

Shouldn’t it have been Lin Tai’s face?

Everyone knew Xiao Yuxuan despised Lin Tai, often arguing with him publicly and even resorting to physical confrontations.

Logically, she should’ve sided with Ye Bai.

Xia Shihan’s behavior had already shifted dramatically—why was Xiao Yuxuan’s acting strange too?

“Where are the bodyguards? How did such trash get in?” Xiao Yuxuan offered no explanation, instead calling for security.

Soon, several burly bodyguards surrounded the area.

“This man insulted our young master in public—how did you let him in?”

“Sir, please show your invitation.” Hearing someone dared insult their young master, the bodyguards glared at Ye Bai.

Though their young master had a poor reputation outside, he treated the Lin family’s staff well. No one could insult him!

“I …” Ye Bai hadn’t expected Xiao Yuxuan to call security.

“If you can’t produce an invitation, we have the right to suspect you’re a thief and take you to the police.” The bodyguards grabbed Ye Bai, restraining him.

“Wait! I’m a friend of Young Master Yan—he brought me in!” Ye Bai hurriedly explained. His visit to the Lin family banquet had two purposes: to get close to Xia Shihan and to make a name for himself in the capital’s elite circle.

But now, not only had he failed to rise, being thrown out would be a total disgrace.

“Young Master Yan?” The bodyguards looked toward a rich heir in the crowd.

“Hey, don’t look at me—I don’t know him!” Yan quickly waved his hands. Joking aside, with Xia Shihan and Xiao Yuxuan’s deadly stares on him, how could he admit it?

In utter bewilderment, Ye Bai was escorted out by the bodyguards and taken to the police station, effectively making a name for himself in the capital’s elite circle—though not the way he’d hoped.

Along with him, Lin Tai’s name also spread.

The once-laughingstock of the elite circle now had two goddesses backing him, each presenting him with a custom luxury watch tailored to his taste with evident care.

Xiao Yuxuan had also prepared a bespoke world-class watch for Lin Tai, perfectly suited to him and clearly chosen with thought.

Overnight, Lin Zhentian’s fatherly love touched the entire elite circle.

To ensure his son’s birthday was joyful, he spared no expense!
