You are very beautiful!
With one sentence, it was very clear that Lee Wenhao was captivated by Shi Lan’s beauty.
He approached proactively, smiling gently, with a slightly obsequious deanor, and the implication was self-evident.
Seeing Lee Wenhao’s actions, many people were taken aback.
Then they glanced at Lin Tian, with schadenfreude in their eyes.
If Shi Lan really caught Lee Wenhao’s attention, there would be so drama to watch!
"Thank you!"
Receiving Lee Wenhao’s complint, Shi Lan felt no joy but a sudden pang in her heart, though she forced a smile on the surface and respectfully nodded.
Although Shi Lan had never paid much attention to her own beauty, she had so confidence in it.
She knew that Lee Wenhao’s actions clearly showed he was interested in her.
However.
She had always kept her distance from playboys like Lee Wenhao.
Mainly because of Zhang Gai from before.
When Zhang Gai pursued her at first, Shi Lan was attracted by his excellent qualities, especially his composure and elegance in dealing with things, making him an exceptionally outstanding guy.
Naturally, every girl hopes the boy she likes is extraordinary!
But later, she found out that Zhang Gai had been with more won than she had even t!
At that mont, Shi Lan was heartbroken; she had initially thought of finding an opportunity to accept Zhang Gai, but finally, she rejected him decisively!
No matter how persistently Zhang Gai pursued her afterward, she remained unmoved!
Presently, Shi Lan saw through Lee Wenhao’s actions as well, but she hadn’t had a good impression at first sight of people like Lee Wenhao.
Elegant manners, gentle smiles, and scholarly conversation were so attractive to many people.
But in Shi Lan’s eyes, they seed so pretentious and false.
"But Young Master Lee, you overpraise !"
After pausing, Shi Lan smiled and said, "Actually, I am just an ordinary girl! There are many girls prettier than !"
"Beauty, you’re being a bit modest here!"
Lee Wenhao chuckled and shook his head, then turned to Zhang Gai, saying, "Zhang Gai, aren’t you going to introduce this beautiful classmate of yours to ?"
At this mont.
Zhang Gai’s face showed a hint of sothing odd.
He had pursued Shi Lan sowhat during their ti at university.
Before him stood Shi Lan’s boyfriend and another guy who had just taken a liking to her, making him feel sowhat uncomfortable.
For Lin Tian, he had already thought of finding a way to give him a proper lesson afterward.
But now that Lee Wenhao had stepped in, he could do nothing.
"Young Master Lee, her na is Shi Lan; we were classmates for four years in university! And back then, she was the top goddess of our departnt!"
A hint of resentnt flashed through Zhang Gai’s eyes, then he took a deep breath, smiled, and introduced Shi Lan to Lee Wenhao. Afterward, he said to Shi Lan, "How about toasting Young Master Lee? You know, even here in Yanjing, there aren’t many who get a personal toast from Young Master Lee!"
With these words, many present nodded in agreent.
Whether it was the female classmates present or the other socialites around, they were filled with envy and jealousy.
Especially those won dreaming of becoming a golden phoenix overnight, their hearts were full of resentnt towards Shi Lan, wishing they could take her place.
To attach oneself to soone like Lee Wenhao was a dream for many won!
"Little Lan, give Young Master Lee a toast! But..."
At this point, Chen Busong spoke up, also advising Shi Lan, and then said to Lee Wenhao, "Young Master Lee, how about we all toast to her first? Otherwise, letting her drink alone would be too impolite! If it wasn’t for your brother Lee Wenjun’s help last ti, I, Chen Busong, wouldn’t have beco a full professor! So let’s toast to Little Lan here!"
With that said, Chen Busong drank a toast to Shi Lan first!
Chen Busong’s actions clearly showed that he wanted to leverage his relationship with Shi Lan as his student to further strengthen ties with Lee Wenhao and potentially with the Lee Family.
It was a golden opportunity!
His move also brightened the eyes of many socialites present.
Although not having the sa prestigious status as Lee Wenhao, the people Zhang Gai invited were still key figures in Yanjing’s business or social circles.
Compared to ordinary people, these were all big shots.
But facing Lee Wenhao, they still had to curry favor honestly.
Right now, was a chance!
Since Lee Wenhao fancied Shi Lan, being nice to her would make it easier to speak with Lee Wenhao in the future.
In an instant, many people raised their glasses to Shi Lan in a toast.
A host of complints was showered upon the unfamiliar girl standing there.
This left Shi Lan feeling a bit overwheld.
She understood very well that this sudden warm reception was entirely because of Lee Wenhao’s presence.
After everyone finished toasting, Shi Lan took a deep breath and reluctantly picked up the glass in front of her.
Except what’s in her glass was not alcohol, but a soft drink.
Shi Lan had always refrained from drinking alcohol, usually using beverages instead.
"Wait!"
But at this mont, Zeng ii snorted coldly and said to Shi Lan, "Shi Lan, what’s this attitude of yours? Young Master Lee offered a toast, at least show so sincerity. Why are you drinking a soft drink? Hurry, pour so wine!"
"Yeah, this is disrespectful to Young Master Lee!"
Other classmates echoed, without earlier sarcasm in their words, but there was an underlying sourness.
They didn’t dare be insolent anymore, as Shi Lan seed about to connect with Lee Wenhao.
If Shi Lan really got with Lee Wenhao, they knew they wouldn’t dare offend her at all.
The current insistence of Zeng ii on making Shi Lan switch to wine stemd from her internal discontent.
If Shi Lan beca Lee Wenhao’s woman, she would effectively be overshadowed.
"I don’t drink alcohol!"
Shi Lan furrowed her brows and said coldly.
"Haha, it’s fine! A soft drink is okay too!"
Lee Wenhao chuckled, not minding, and clinked his glass lightly against Shi Lan’s.
Shi Lan drank the beverage in her glass and nodded, "Thank you, Young Master Lee, for personally toasting . I am truly flattered!"
For noble sons like Lee Wenhao, in the end, Shi Lan had a certain reverence.
She was just a very ordinary girl from a humble background. Although she didn’t like people like Lee Wenhao, she was self-aware!
"Laanlaan, don’t be so distant! You’re Zhang Gai’s classmate, so we’re friends!"
Lee Wenhao smiled and shook his head, addressing Shi Lan more intimately, "How about taking a walk outside the hall to get so fresh air with ?"
Laanlaan?
The way of addressing her sent a shiver down Shi Lan’s spine, making her get goosebumps.
"Young Master Lee, please call Shi Lan. As for going out, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll just stay here. Please feel free!"
Shi Lan gritted her teeth and finally replied coldly to Lee Wenhao, before sitting down imdiately.
Her actions were a clear rejection of Lee Wenhao.
A group of classmates at the table was montarily stunned, followed by cold smiles and a sense of pleasure on the faces of girls like Zeng ii.
Shi Lan’s refusal was exactly what they wanted!
Those who had previously toasted Shi Lan, their faces slightly fell.
"Hehehe...you seem to have quite a dislike for ?"
Being embarrassed in front of so many people made Lee Wenhao’s face unpleasant as well. He chuckled, his tone assertive, "The woman I’ve set my sights on rarely has a second choice! Even if you don’t agree, or rather, whether you agree or not, after tonight, you’ll be my woman!"
