Chapter 227 Who Does He Love to Be With?

Jiang Xing was the only new face at the banquet. She wasn't very familiar with Luo Beiqing either. Seeing Wen Yan chatting with Luo Beiqing, she consciously didn't approach.

"Miss, you look unfamiliar!"

Suddenly, a beautiful woman dressed smartly walked up to Jiang Xing with a glass of white wine. Her arm was linked with—

Jiang Xing looked up and met Lou Qi's gaze!

She calmly shifted her gaze to the woman. The other woman was a classic example of a striking beauty, wearing an expensive diamond necklace and exuding an air of wealth and elegance—a style completely different from hers.

"Hello." Jiang Xing replied simply, without introducing herself. Firstly, the other person might not really want to get to know her, and secondly, they were not from the same circle and probably wouldn't meet again.

The beauty was taken aback by Jiang Xing's indifferent attitude and became somewhat displeased. She sneered in a low voice, "He's just Wen Yan's pawn, what's there to be so arrogant about?"

Jiang Xing smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying.

So what if she's a pawn? Who among us doesn't want to get along with Wen Yan?

Jiang Xing was neither humble nor arrogant. Despite being the only unknown person among the guests at the banquet, he seemed to be no less than any of the young masters and ladies present.

Lou Qi looked at her, his back teeth unconsciously clenching.

"Young Master Lou, aren't you going to introduce her? I saw you glancing at this young lady several times just now," the beauty said to Lou Qi.

Lou Qi smiled enigmatically, his eyes brimming with a flirtatious air: "If you don't even recognize me, how could I not?"

The beauty raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied with the answer, and walked away arm in arm with Lou Qi.

Jiang Xing was quite satisfied with Lou Qi's reaction. He didn't look at them much and instead enjoyed admiring the antique oil paintings hanging around the hall.

As for Lou Qi, he can be with whomever he wants; it's none of her business.

However, despite the hall being quite large, Lou Qi kept appearing in Jiang Xing's field of vision from time to time!

One moment she was with a few young masters, the next with other young ladies, and finally she walked side by side with Gu Yanci toward Wen Yan.

"Don't you have to socialize anymore?" Wen Yan asked Gu Yanci.

Wen Yan and Luo Beiqing sat side by side on a double sofa. Since there was no room for Gu Yanci, he had to sit on the single sofa next to him.

"No need." He had just made a token appearance at the wine bar and didn't need to show up again.

Normally, Gu Yanci's social interactions are with the fathers of these second-generation heirs who hold power. The fact that he makes time to meet with them is already a great show of respect. These second-generation heirs can simply go home and say, "I had a drink with Gu Yanci today," and they will receive approval from their elders, who will assume that they have made good connections with Gu Yanci.

Lou Qi sat down on the other sofa without saying a word, sipping his champagne as if he were just casually keeping his good brother company.

Jiang Xing was walking towards Wen Yan when he saw Lou Qi sitting down. He paused for a moment, and the next second, he met Lou Qi's gaze unexpectedly.

She didn't go over to him as if she cared about him!

Jiang Xing hesitated briefly for half a second before continuing forward and handing the small wool blanket she had taken from the student's office to Luo Beiqing.

Luo Beiqing was sensitive to heat after becoming pregnant, so she wore a sundress today. However, the temperature in the banquet hall was set low, and she did feel a bit cold sitting there. But she was too lazy to ask someone for a blanket, and unexpectedly, Jiang Xing noticed it.

Luo Beiqing was both surprised and delighted. She thanked Jiang Xing and sincerely held him in higher regard.

Luo Beiqing recalled the rumors she had heard some time ago, glanced at Lou Qi, and happened to see Lou Qi casually glancing at Jiang Xing.

Luo Beiqing: Wow!
