Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

Chapter 2318 Reception party

At a bar:

Yin Heng chugged glass after glass of liquor.

Tonight was supposed to be his show. It was supposed to be his moment to mercilessly suppress Si Yehan. He didn’t expect everything to have been disrupted because of Yi Yunmo’s appearance.

Due to Yi Yunmo’s ambiguous words and attitude toward Si Yehan and her invitation, everyone’s attention centered on Si Yehan.

Behind Yin Heng’s back, some people even said it was because Si Yehan ignored Qin Xiyuan that she settled for second best and sought Yin Heng out!

Also, Yi Yunmo’s final words tonight—”What if I said I did?”

I did? I did what?

Could it be Yi Yunmo seriously bore those kinds of intentions toward Si Yehan?

Why?!

Yin Heng heavily slammed the glass onto the bar with a bang.

Upon seeing that, the confidant next to him quickly comforted him. “Young Master Yin, I think it’s very possible you’re overthinking. After all, Miss Yi didn’t sound certain either…”

“For someone of Miss Yi’s status and background, her actions and speech aren’t that simple or ordinary. How could she casually take a fancy to a man she just met at a banquet? I don’t think we should mess ourselves up!”

Yin Heng glanced at his confidant and hummed. “Then what… do you think Yi Yunmo really meant?”

The confidant provided his analysis. “Young Master, I understand women like Yi Yunmo too well. They’re conceited and look down on everyone from the depths of their hearts. They’re both cold and haughty and probably feel repulsed and disgusted by men. You can tell from her attitude toward those men tonight.”

Yin Heng asked, “Then how would you explain her attitude toward Si Yehan?”

She had the waiter switch his wine with ginseng soup and also had him bring Si Yehan a blanket.

It was precisely because Yi Yunmo was too cold and haughty that her special attitude toward Si Yehan especially incentivized people to dive deeper into its meaning.

The confidant replied, “Young Master, your vision is hazed because you’re in the midst of it. I think that Miss Yi’s attitude toward Si Yehan tonight was merely a little more polite and doesn’t prove anything. She probably took preserving face for President Yi into consideration and tried to befriend and win over Si Yehan out of President Yi’s admiration for Si Yehan.”

Although this explanation also dissatisfied Yin Heng a lot, it was better than Yi Yunmo taking a fancy to Si Yehan.

“So, Young Master, it’s most important for you to grasp onto Miss Qin tightly right now. If you evoke Miss Qin’s wrath, that’d be the true disaster!” the confidant advised.

Yin Heng finally calmed down a smidge now. “You’re right!”

He easily lost control whenever he encountered matters related to Si Yehan. Carefully thinking back on it now, he didn’t overreact a bit.

After all, there wasn’t a whiff of anything concrete with Yi Yunmo yet, while Qin Xiyuan already belonged to him. He also had Qin Xiyuan arrange a position for him during this year’s summit so he could attend it.

He might not have any real power in this position right now, but it was a good stepping stone. After the summit concluded, Qin Zong would arrange for him to enter the Arbitration Council.

He had no idea how Si Yehan managed to snake his way into a position as high as Director and hold a position on equal status with Yin Yuerong. This caused all his hard work over the years in the Yin family to be washed down the drain. No matter how hard he worked, he was a joke when compared to Si Yehan.

He must seize this opportunity and absolutely couldn’t allow a millimeter of error.

…

The next day:

The Arbitration Council Summit officially convened and the entire day was overtaken by intense meetings attended by every single higher-up and director.

That night, Yi Lingjun held a party for his precious daughter to both welcome her and to help her befriend more people.

A party held by Yi Lingjun for his daughter was absolutely an event people wanted to attend even if they had to bulldoze each other.
