Chapter 1047 How About Calling Me Brother?

Her gaze flickered slightly, and she looked up again with a smile at the man opposite.

“Jichen, shall we go chat with my sister-in-law? President Xiao is also there, maybe we can find an opportunity for cooperation?”

Wen Jichen’s hand holding the glass paused slightly, and he glanced at her again before looking at the girl opposite who was laughing and chatting with great charm.

The corners of his lips curved subtly, but the upward arc was inexplicably cold and indifferent, making people shiver.

Meanwhile.

“Xiao Ran, Zhichen.” Shen Ji saw Su Ran and Ye Zhichen, greeting them with a smile.

Su Ran and Ye Zhichen both nodded, also smiling at Shen Ji, “Senior Shen.”

“Today’s celebration party is very lively, Xiao Ran, congratulations.”

Su Ran smiled, “Thank you, Senior.”

Xiao Yize stood nearby, looking indifferent, but his noble and imposing aura was undeniable.

Xiao Yize, as Zisu’s partner and a major client of Qianran International, was inevitably going to have business dealings with Ling Qingan, who has taken over Enrich.

So Su Ran specifically brought him over to greet Ling Qingan.

However, when Shen Ji saw the man standing in front of him, he was full of disbelief.

The person in charge of Xiao’s, Xiao Yize?

How could he be here?

Although surprised, he quickly reacted and raised his glass to the man, “President Xiao, nice to meet you.”

Xiao Yize raised an eyebrow and clinked his glass with Shen Ji’s, “Young Master Shen, long time no see.”

Both of them drank their glasses in one go. Shen Ji put down his glass and then smiled as he introduced Ling Qingan:

“Qingan, this is the current person in charge of the Xiao Family, Xiao Yize, President Xiao.”

Ling Qingan was stunned for a second, then also raised her glass towards Xiao Yize, “President Xiao.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yize chuckled softly, the corner of his lips curving into a meaningful smile as he looked at Ling Qingan’s charming smile and lightly clinked his glass.

“Miss Ling, long time no see.”

Hearing this, Shen Ji looked surprised at them, “You… know each other?”

Su Ran and Ye Zhichen smiled but didn’t say anything.

Ling Qingan glanced at Shen Ji and then looked at Xiao Yize, “I guess… you could say that.”

Her answer made Xiao Yize’s gaze fall on her face, his pitch-black eyes unwaveringly watching her, a look of great interest on his peerlessly beautiful face.

Shen Ji looked baffled by this.

Either they do, or they don’t.

What does ‘I guess you could say that’ mean?

But upon further thought, everyone is in the same circle, so it’s not surprising that Qingan knows him.

“I didn’t expect President Xiao to know Qingan, but you rarely see President Xiao at such occasions. What brings you to Qianran International’s celebration party today?”

Xiao Yize seldom attends banquets, and events like celebration parties are even rarer, so it’s understandable that Shen Ji found it strange.

Hearing this, Xiao Yize glanced at the calm Su Ran and replied equally nonchalantly, “Collecting a debt.”

Shen Ji was taken aback, “Collecting a debt?”

What kind of debt would warrant the esteemed President of Xiao’s to show up in person?

Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch her lips, this petty man.

Even nagging about it at the celebration party.

She sighed lightly and looked helplessly at Ling Qingan, “Qingan, inventory all the series of finished products for the fashion week to be launched at Enrich stores and send them to the Xiao Family.”

Ling Qingan raised an eyebrow, “You owe President Xiao a debt?”

Su Ran nodded, “Yes.”

Ling Qingan frowned slightly, her expression a bit peculiar, “Why does President Xiao need so many women’s clothes? Could it be he has a fetish for women’s clothing?”

Su Ran’s lips twitched again, “These are ordered by President Xiao for Miss Xiao.”

“Oh, I see.”

Ling Qingan suddenly understood, looking up at Xiao Yize, her previously nonchalant gaze now filled with interest, “I didn’t expect President Xiao to be such a loving brother.”

Xiao Yize curled his lips, showing no displeasure at Ling Qingan’s unabashed scrutiny.

“Does Miss Ling envy that?”

Ling Qingan nodded, being honest, “A little.”

Her candid admission added a touch of interest to Xiao Yize’s usually indifferent face.

“So, does Miss Ling want to be my sister too?”

“Hmm…” Ling Qingan cupped her chin, frowning in thought, as if seriously pondering the question.

Seeing this, Xiao Yize’s interest deepened even more, “If Miss Ling wants to be my sister, it’s not impossible. How about you call me brother to hear it first?”

“…”

“…”

The atmosphere was momentarily stagnant.

Su Ran smiled without saying anything.

Ye Zhichen was dumbfounded.

Shen Ji wore a serious expression.

“What benefit would I get from calling you brother?” Ling Qingan unabashedly surveyed Xiao Yize.

Xiao Yize curved his lips, “Any request will be fulfilled.”

The atmosphere was quiet for two seconds.

“Qingan, President Xiao is wealthy and generous. I think calling him brother would be worth it, don’t you think so, Xiao Ran?” Ye Zhichen joined in the joke, nudging Ling Qingan with her elbow and looking at Su Ran.

Su Ran nodded as well, “It’s definitely worth it, Qingan. President Xiao is famous for being a great brother who loves his sister. Having such a wonderful brother is undoubtedly your gain.”

Hearing Su Ran’s words, Xiao Yize glanced at her unamusedly, “Flattery won’t work; I won’t invest any money.”

Su Ran waved her hand, “I don’t want your investment, just stay away from Fu Qiyuan.”

“Su, Ran!!”

Xiao Yize’s expression suddenly darkened, and the surrounding temperature dropped ten degrees instantly.

Ye Zhichen seemed oblivious to the sudden chill, her eyes instead lighting up like a flash.

Ling Qingan also slightly raised her head upon hearing this.

Seeing Xiao Yize’s suddenly somber face, they were both somewhat curious.

They exchanged a silent glance, then leaned over to Su Ran’s ear and whispered softly:

“What’s going on? Is there a story between President Xiao and your Mr. Fu?”

Ye Zhichen nodded repeatedly on the side; Ling Qingan’s question was exactly what she wanted to ask.

Su Ran looked at them in surprise, “How do you know?”

Ling Qingan: “…”

Ye Zhichen: “…”

“Did you also notice he has feelings for Fu Qiyuan?”

Ye Zhichen: “…”

Ling Qingan: “…”

Are you sure they noticed?

And not that you just revealed it yourself?

Su Ran’s answer made the corners of their mouths twitch.

No way, Fu Qiyuan and Xiao Yize are both favored by fate. How could these two possibly…

Su Ran caught the expression on their faces and couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

“What are you thinking? My Mr. Fu is a straight steel man.”

The two of them nodded immediately, so…

Is it just Xiao Yize having feelings for Fu Qiyuan unilaterally?

This…

Ling Qingan turned her head to look at Xiao Yize, who had become the cold-faced Yama, pulling her lips slightly, “Such things are quite normal nowadays, President Xiao, don’t be insecure!”

“Ling, Qing, An!!!”

Ling Qingan’s name came out of Xiao Yize’s mouth word by word, as the man glared at her through gritted teeth, as if wanting to swallow her whole.

“President Xiao, it’s a misunderstanding, Qingan didn’t mean it.”

Seeing Xiao Yize’s anger, Shen Ji quickly tried to soothe him.

Having listened to their whole conversation, he too was somewhat speechless, his juniors really dared to say anything.

Didn’t they see that Xiao Yize’s gaze was as sharp as daggers?

But seeing him so angry…

Could it be he really…

Great, another one led astray!

“What’s going on? Who made President Xiao so angry?”

At this moment, a playful voice suddenly sounded from behind.
