If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Qi Nan didn't care about anything else and started wandering around.

He went up to the waiter who was carrying the snacks and took a bite. He hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he treated it as a buffet.

He held a wine glass in his left hand and a black truffle foie gras in his right.

"Hmm, this tastes really good. As expected of a top-tier luxury family, even the chef's skills are so good. It feels like it's at least a five-star restaurant."

A person with side-swept bangs walked towards us.

"Hi, wanna be friends?"

Looking at the man in front of him, a complete stranger, Qi Nan chewed on his foie gras and mumbled, "Who are you?"

"I belong to the Wang family."

"The Wang family?"

Qi Nan thought to himself, "Even if you're from the Heavenly King's family, I still don't know you."

Despite thinking this way, he still politely extended his hand and said, "Hello, I'm from the Qi family."

"Oh, so you're from the Qi family."

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know him."

Qi Nan was utterly speechless. If you don't know someone, then don't pretend you've heard of them before.

"But I can sense that you are special."

"for example?"

"For example, being a glutton."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Where did this idiot come from? What does his gluttony have to do with him? He acts like he's eating from his own house.

"Being able to eat is a blessing, thank you for the compliment."

"Then you're very lucky."

Qi Nan had only one thought: to leave as soon as possible, since the disease was contagious.

"Haha, yeah, yeah, I'll be going now."

"No, I'm here to make friends with you, don't walk away so fast."

Spending too much time with someone with low intelligence will lower your own IQ, so Qi Nan didn't want to continue interacting with this mentally unstable man, mainly to protect his own intelligence.

"Sorry, making friends will only affect my cooking progress."

"Then I'll eat with you."

"You bastard, are you trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

The man scratched his head. "Everything here is unlimited. How can you expect to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

Holy crap, is this guy just a natural airhead?

What I mean is, I don't want to be friends with you.

Why?

"Because I want to be a lone wolf..."

"What a damn dog!" the man exclaimed enviously.

"That sounds really cool!"

This person is beyond saving. Qi Nan covered his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

"Then I'll be a lonely jackal too."

Why?

"Because they colluded."

Wow, beets.

You can apply for discharge directly.

"Okay, okay, what's your name?"

Qi Nan thought about it and figured that apart from being silly, he had no other ill intentions, so he agreed to his request.

The man was delighted upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "My name is Wang Qing, Wang as in Wang Qing, and Qing as in celebration."

"Wang Qing?"

Qi Nan recalled some information about him, but the original book only mentioned it briefly, saying that he was just a landlord's stupid son.

He then extended his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Qi Nan."

"Hello there."

...

Just as the two were talking, Shen Wanping came out of the inner room, holding Xia Ningqi's hand.

Upon seeing this, Xia Qinghe, who was still presiding over the overall situation and entertaining the guests, immediately began to enthusiastically introduce the guests.

"This is our Xia family's long-lost youngest daughter, surnamed Xia, named Ningqi. She is also the subject of today's business banquet, which is to let everyone get to know her and, incidentally, make friends with each other."

Xia Ningqi, wearing silver high heels, looked stunning in her gown that accentuated her figure. Her exquisite face immediately drew the attention of all the men present.

Besides applause, the audience was also buzzing with discussion.

"Is this the Xia family's youngest daughter who was lost when she was little? She looks far too authoritative, and she seems even more beautiful than her mother when she was young."

"That's called the student surpassing the master. Back then, Shen Wanping was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. Now it seems that her daughter can inherit her reputation."

"Who says otherwise? This is the first time I've ever seen such a refined and elegant woman. It seems that after today, quite a few people will come to the Xia family to propose marriage."

...

"Look, look!"

"What's wrong?"

A girl attending the banquet looked at her friend with a puzzled expression.

"Li Zhaonian seems to be attracted as well."

Upon hearing this, following the direction she pointed, a man in a sharp suit with slicked-back hair was staring intently at Xia Ningqi in the center of the hall.

"Didn't he say he wasn't interested in girls?"

"He's all about looks, isn't he? He's not gay, how could he not be interested in women?"

"That's true... After all, this Xia family's daughter seems extraordinary. If I were a man, I would definitely fall head over heels in love with her."

...

Wang Qing's eyes widened in astonishment.

"What a beautiful girl! This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful fairy."

"Stop drooling," Qi Nan teased with a hint of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing subconsciously wiped his mouth, then immediately asked, "Don't you find it amazing?"

"So-so."

After all, he had known Xia Ningqi for so long, what kind of person was she that he hadn't seen?

"Qi Nan, you'll never find a wife with such high standards."

"I'm not someone who only judges by appearance; inner beauty is true beauty."

Xia Ningqi is a tigress; although she looks incredibly deceptive, her heart is anything but beautiful.

Wang Qing looked at him with admiration, "Qi Nan, you're right, I want to learn from you."

In his heart, he could resist even this level of beauty, and Qi Nan's status was elevated infinitely.

In the center of the hall.

Xia Ningqi's gaze swept over everyone, looking around the entire area, as if searching for a certain figure.

The boys who were seen perked up a bit, until her gaze fell in the direction of Qi Nan.

Qi Nan's eyes met hers.

Suddenly I shuddered.

She's not my sister. There are so many people here, why are you looking at me the only one?

Pretending to be casual, Qi Nan coughed and then quietly looked away, avoiding eye contact with Xia Ningqi.

Noticing his avoidance, Xia Ningqi lowered her eyelids slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in her dark eyes.

Wang Qing, standing beside Qi Nan, tugged at the corner of Qi Nan's clothes.

"Qi Nan, Qi Nan, Xia Qianjin seemed to be looking in the opposite direction from us the whole time."

"He might have a crush on you."

"Really?"

Wang Qing straightened his hair and even stood up straighter than before.

Qi Nan was speechless.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to learn from me?"

"Actually, I feel that having good facial features isn't necessarily a bad thing, after all, there are always exceptions."
