Piyue Henry glanced at the woman next to him and frowned, surprised that a woman would distance herself from him. This was quite a blow to his male charm, as he was among the world’s top ten golden bachelors, with countless women throwing themselves at him. However, he had no intention of teasing the woman beside him.
Piyue Henry leaned back on the sofa, picked up his wine glass, and took a small sip. Boredly scanning the chattering crowd in the venue, he inwardly sighed with disinterest.
“Piyue, long time no see! Have you missed me?” A seductively dressed woman approached the sofa, glancing at Leng Youlan before focusing on the handsome man.
“Darling, of course I’ve missed you! I’ve missed you so much my heart aches!” He dramatically placed his hand on his chest, feigning pain.
“You always know how to sweet-talk,” the seductive woman said, sitting down on the sofa and pushing Leng Youlan to the other side.
Leng Youlan looked at her unfinished food, wanting to find another place, but a glance around showed this spot was the most peaceful. She gave a bitter smile and lowered her head to continue battling with her food.
Glaring hatefully at Leng Youlan, the woman said coyly, “Piyue, I’m performing piano later. You’ll remember to applaud for me, right?” “Of course, I’m never stingy with beautiful women,” Piyue Henry replied flirtatiously, casting a playful glance at Leng Youlan.
Noticing the handsome man’s gaze, the seductive woman said mockingly, “My piano skills have improved. Not like some people who clearly lack elegance and dress like an outdated ugly duckling.”
“Oh?” The man seemed to casually look at Leng Youlan, secretly surprised by her cold response. Could she be deaf?
Leng Youlan had naturally heard the seductive woman’s mockery and was well aware of her previous hateful glare. She coldly said, “Those who play piano aren’t necessarily ladies. Sometimes ‘ugly ducklings’ can play too. Those who seduce men aren’t necessarily prostitutes. Sometimes ‘ladies’ do that too.”
“You…” The woman’s eyes flashed with a vicious light.
Sometimes ‘socialites’ are too,” Leng Youlan coldly interrupted, her eyes still fixed on her food.
