From Sidekick to Bigshot

Yu Xi dreaded to think about what it would be like to see Master Sheng becoming angry.

The other people in the banquet hall also looked curiously in their direction.

Jian Yiling’s eyes kept looking at Zhai Yunsheng for a long period of time.

Her eyes didn’t flinch. There was also no fear in her eyes.

She wasn’t afraid. On the other hand, Yu Xi’s legs began to feel weak.

Finally, Zhai Yunsheng stretched out his hand. He made a gesture to invite Jian Yiling to dance.

“Huh?” Yu Xi exclaimed in shock. His mouth was agape.

There was a look of serious doubt on his face.

Wait… Master Sheng looked incredibly angry as he walked over… The expression on his face made it seem like he wanted to kill someone…

And then… All he did was invite God Ling to dance?!

An unknowing person would assume that he was coming over to kill someone!

What was this situation?!

Yu Xi was shocked. However, everyone around them was even more shocked.

They had all watched Zhai Yunsheng walk through the entire ballroom to get to the young girl in front of him. The young girl was dressed in a way that did not fit the banquet at all.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng had made a gesture of inviting her to dance.

Master Sheng had invited a girl to dance!

This was the first time that they had ever seen this!

Mo Shiyun secretly gritted her teeth. Three years ago in Hengyuan City, Zhai Yunsheng had invited Jian Yiling to dance with him as well.

Back then, Jian Yiling had become the focus of the dinner party.

Mo Shiyun remembered that day vividly. That day was the time that she had been the closest to Qin Chuan.

She had been pulled to the dance floor by Qin Chuan. She had also danced with him.

She would always remember him from that time. She remembered the warmth of his palm and the scent of his body.

Three years had passed since then. Zhai Yunsheng still treated Jian Yiling the same as before… However now… She could only watch Qin Chuan from afar…

Jian Yiling shook her head.

She knew that it was inappropriate for her to dance with Zhai Yunsheng. She wasn’t even dressed for the dance floor.

Furthermore, she hadn’t seen Zhai Yunsheng for three years. It didn’t seem right for her to dance with him as soon as they met.

Jian Yiling didn’t understand the man in front of her. She hadn’t understood him three years ago. And she didn’t understand him now either.

Jian Yiling’s refusal made the expression on Zhai Yunsheng’s face even more ugly.

Did she refuse to dance with him because she was going to dance with Qin Chuan later?

When Qin Chuan saw the situation, he rushed over to Jian Yiling.

He saw that Zhai Yunsheng was making things difficult for Jian Yiling. It was clear that Jian Yiling did not want to dance.

And thus, Qin Chuan did not hesitate to defend Jian Yiling.

“Master Sheng, Miss Yiling does not want to dance with you. Please don’t make things difficult and force her to dance with you.”

“Heh,” Zhai Yunsheng suddenly laughed.

His laugh was incredibly scary.

Then, Qin Chuan tried to convince Zhai Yunsheng again: “Master Sheng, those who are here today are my guests. I would like to ask you to respect my guests’ wishes.”

“Your guests,” Zhai Yunsheng emphasized. As he said this, Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling.

She was a guest that was invited by Qin Chuan.

Jian Yiling attempted to explain to Qin Chuan: “He wasn’t trying to make things difficult for me.”

Jian Yiling did not want Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng to become enemies.

She wanted these two to have a good relationship.

Upon hearing Jian Yiling’s words, Qin Chuan said seriously: “If there is anything that you need help with, you can tell me directly. Since I invited you, I will guarantee your safety.”

Qin Chuan was no longer the person that he was three years ago. Now, he had the ability to protect someone.

“I’m okay. It’s fine,” Jian Yiling explained solemnly.

“It’s good if everything is actually fine.”

Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes flashed with pain and anger as he watched the conversation between Jian Yiling and Qin Chuan.

Zhai Yunsheng snickered: “Oh, you refused to dance with me because you wanted to dance with Young Master Qin?”

He had taught her how to dance. However, in the end, it appeared as though she wanted to dance with another man in front of him.
