Bai Xue followed her gaze, her brow furrowing when she spotted the figure who seemed to be her target. He was the CEO of Ge Lin Group, a highly influential figure in Washington. There had been numerous rumors about his company's illicit dealings but it still stood tall, signifying his strong ties with the government and careful ways of handling matters. If Yang Minhan truly had set her sights on him, things could turn perilous!
Lost in thought, and contemplating whether she should call Su Yan to alert Qiao Tian, Bai Xue was distracted by a commotion at the door. When her gaze fell upon the intruder, her eyes widened in surprise.
It was Su Yan!
The black suit accentuated his tall figure, his jet-black hair was thick and lustrous. Under his sword-like eyebrows lay a pair of slender, amorous eyes that could easily capture someone's heart. His high bridge nose and thin lips were masked with a dazzling smile.
His high-profile, arrogant aura made him look like a king, outshining all the men in the room, and making the women admire him.
The blonde woman on his arm was equally stunning. Wearing an elegant white dress, sparkling blue eyes, delicate features as fine as jade, her grace and grandeur made the men around her hold their breath.
Jones Ellie, the only daughter of the CEO of Ge Lin Group!
The most elegant and delicate belle of Washington's social circle.
Bai Xue's eyes narrowed and the smile on her lips turned slightly cold.
Mr. Su indeed had good luck with women. There was always a beauty around him!
Upon seeing Bai Xue, Su Yan did not show any guilt that he got caught with another woman. On the contrary, he looked somewhat provocative.
Bai Xue locked eyes with him but refrained from marching over and scolding him. Instead, she raised her glass in a silent toast, pursed her lips to take a sip of the red wine and ran her tongue over her lips with a seductive gaze.
A fleeting spark ignited in Su Yan's eyes.
The smile on Bai Xue's lips deepened.
The handsome man beside her leaned over and whispered in her ear. Though she wasn't pleased, she did not avoid him. She turned to him with a captivating smile on her lips.
"Hmm?" She seemed to have missed what the man had just said. She looked up at him, her movements unintentionally seductive, and the allure in her beautiful eyes made the man beside her gasp for breath.
This Oriental beauty was extraordinarily attractive, reminding him of a seductive fairy from a Chinese novel he had read.
"May I have the honor of a dance with you, Miss?" He repeated his invitation.
Conveniently, a waiter passed by, and Bai Xue put her glass down.
She returned the man's smile, "Certainly!"
Together they walked hand in hand to the dance floor. Bai Xue let the man affectionately hold her, their arms overlapped with her holding the back of his neck. Her beautiful eyes stared back at him, a lovely smile adorning her lips.
Without looking back, she knew Su Yan was watching her.
His gaze was intense.
She knew this wasn't about jealousy or love, but simply men's distaste for their women being with others, the classic male chauvinism.
But so what? As long as it could gain his attention!
Better yet, if it could provoke him.
The man's hand was so close to her buttocks, their bodies were almost entirely glued together. As the man whispered sweet nothings in her ear, she laughed lightly, her beautiful eyes casting tantalizing glances, exuding an irresistible charm.
Seeing the entranced look on the man holding her, Su Yan gripped his glass tightly, wishing he could swallow her whole. No, not just him, every man in the room was watching her!
It might not have been her banquet, but she was the queen of this banquet, the most eye-catching queen!
