“Master Sheng,” Qin Yufan cried out. Her voice was excited and happy as she said this. “I thought that you wouldn’t come today.”

Zhai Yunsheng’s temper had always been eccentric. When faced with an invitation, whether or not he would go would entirely depend on his mood.

Even if it was the Qin family that invited him, he wouldn’t necessarily be bothered to go.

Qin Yufan was looking forward to the possibility of seeing Zhai Yunsheng at the banquet today. She hadn’t expected him to actually come.

And thus, she was really happy to see him.

Zhai Yunsheng took a look at Qin Yufan. His lips curled up a little and his smile had a hint of contempt and disdain.

Then, he turned around and found a seat. He didn’t reply to Qin Yufan.

Typically, Zhai Yunsheng’s behavior would be considered quite rude. Everyone else at the banquet watched the interaction between Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Yufan with fear and trepidation.

However, the Qin family was used to it already. Furthermore, Qin Yufan didn’t think that there was anything rude about Zhai Yunsheng’s behavior.

Qin Yufan was not discouraged by Zhai Yunsheng’s behavior. She continued to take the initiative to talk to Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, how long do you plan to stay in Hengyuan City?”

Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes. However, he didn’t turn his head to look at Qin Yufan. “Miss Qin, are you sure that you don’t need to accompany your brother? This banquet was hosted for his sake.”

The smile on Qin Yufan’s face did not dim. However, the light in her eyes dimmed considerably.

“Yeah, the banquet was hosted for his sake. However, he can handle everyone else. He doesn’t need my help.”

Qin Yufan did not call Qin Chuan ‘brother’. Although she accompanied Qin Chuan to the banquet today, it seemed as though in her heart, she didn’t really acknowledge Qin Chuan’s identity yet.

Following this, Qin Yufan invited Zhai Yunsheng to dance: “Master Sheng, would you like to dance together on the dance floor?”

Zhai Yunsheng snorted before he said: “Shouldn’t a guy invite a girl to these kinds of things?”

This was indeed true. However, Qin Yufan knew that it was impossible for Zhai Yunsheng to take the initiative to ask a girl to dance.

And thus, she had taken the initiative to ask him.

She didn’t mind initiating these kinds of things.

QIn Yufan’s body was full of confidence. She was not afraid of rejection nor the looks of others.

No matter what she did, she didn’t need other people’s judgment to determine whether it was good or bad!

“Wait, so are you planning to invite me?” Qin Yufan asked. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

If Zhai Yunsheng said such a thing, did it mean that he might take the initiative to invite others to dance today?

At this moment, Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing felt quite awkward. Initially, they had only planned to stay in a corner with their daughter. They hadn’t expected everyone to come over to this corner.

Furthermore, the people who were standing here were from the Zhai and the Qin families! Just their presence put a lot of pressure on them.

And thus, the two of them wanted to take Jian Yiling somewhere else.

However, Zhai Yunsheng suddenly turned his head and asked Jian Yiling: “Miss Jian, would you like to accompany me for a dance?”

The moment Zhai Yunsheng said this, the gazes of the surrounding people fell on Jian Yiling in unison.

Among them, Qin Yufan’s gaze was particularly bitter and cold.

The people of Hengyuan City didn’t know this but Qin Yufan knew very well that Zhai Yunsheng had never asked a girl to dance!

Who was this girl? And why did Master Sheng ask her to dance?

The hearts of Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were jumping up to their throats.

They had never thought that Zhai Yunsheng would ask their daughter for a dance.

Everyone was waiting for Jian Yiling’s response. This included Zhai Yunsheng.

“I don’t know how to dance,” Jian Yiling responded. She politely refused Zhai Yunsheng.

“That’s fine. I’ll teach you,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He didn’t mind being her dance teacher.

As he said this, Zhai Yunsheng had already gotten up to stand in front of Jian Yiling. He made the gesture of a gentleman inviting a lady to dance.
