Then she turned to Qian Chi, “You don’t know, my brother and An Qi grew up together and were seen as a couple by adults since childhood. My mom and Aunt Qin even joked about arranging a marriage for them! Later, when Uncle An immigrated to the United States for his career, they were separated.”
Qian Zhi said softly: “Many things are predestined. What is meant to be yours will be yours, and what isn’t won’t be, so why force it?”
“I only believe in one saying: Man can conquer nature!”
This sentence stirred waves in Qian Zhi’s heart. She turned her head, gazing at his resolute and domineering face, lost in thought.

“Qian Zhi?” Tang Qiqi had been staring at Xia Qian Zhi, who was dazed looking out the window, and finally couldn’t help calling out.
“Hmm?” Qian Zhi responded subconsciously, her gaze still fixed outside.
“Look.” Tang Qiqi placed an exquisite card in front of her.
“What’s this?” Her gaze finally returned, focusing on the card.
Tang Qiqi cleared her throat uncomfortably: “Lei Xi gave me this yesterday. It’s an invitation to Xing Tuo’s New Year party.”
“Oh.” Xia Qian Zhi’s face showed a surprised expression. When did Qiqi and Lei Xi become so close?
Tang Qiqi immediately clarified: “Don’t get the wrong idea! We’re not what you’re thinking!”
She laughed: “I wasn’t thinking anything.”
Tang Qiqi was slightly embarrassed: “That’s good.”
After a while, Tang Qiqi carefully observed her expression and asked: “He said you’ll be going too, right?”
Xing Family was hosting a grand banquet, with the main hall and side hall packed with guests. The atmosphere was lively, with people dressed elegantly, mingling and chatting. Soft music, the tinkling of wine glasses, and guests’ conversations filled every corner of the room. Outside, snow was falling heavily, yet the guests inside were dressed minimally, especially the women in tight, elegant cocktail dresses. Earrings and sparkling diamond jewelry on bare necks and wrists were dazzling. The guests were divided into two main groups: Xing and Wang family relatives and friends, mostly political and business elites, and Xing Tuo’s classmates and friends.
