The remark caused Li Beinian to feel very uneasy.
She turned around to realize that Shi Yishen was looking at her.
His deep and expressive peach blossom eyes made him look all the more bewitching when he smiled.
His deep dimple was particularly pleased to observe.
“The auction is about to begin, and I’m lacking a pretty companion by my side. May I know if you might be willing to sit with me?”
“Apologies,” Li Beinian said with a regretful expression. “I came with CEO Yang, primarily as a spokesperson for the company. It’s work for me, so…”
“I’ve already spoken with CEO Yang.” Shi Yishen wasn’t going to let Li Beinian get away with an excuse. “He’s agreed. Furthermore, he’s very agreeable with having you sit with me. Tonight, you’ll be my companion.”
He bowed slightly as he held out his hand gentlemanly.
Li Beinian felt a little awkward.
At a loss, her gaze swept the venue trying to locate CEO Yang.
Eventually, she caught sight of him. As he nodded subtly, her heart sank.
She extended her arm and placed her hand lightly on Shi Yishen’s.
He straightened satisfactorily. However, he looked troubled and asked with much curiosity, “Is Miss Li this cautious towards everyone?”
Li Beinian replied, “… No. I’m just not used to being too close to unfamiliar men.”
“Oh, is that the case?” Shi Yishen smiled radiantly, showing off his glistening white teeth, and charmingly lifted his mustache. “Then, I consider that my honor, indeed. After you, Miss Li.”
Li Beinian could only go with him.
The auction venue wasn’t too far off.
Having downed four glasses of wine just then, the alcohol was beginning to take effect. Li Beinian felt her cheeks burning slightly.
As she walked next to Shi Yishen, Li Beinian hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “I didn’t think that Eldest Young Master Mu would be so ungentlemanly just then. Thank you for getting me out of the situation.”
“Don’t mention it, it was a small matter.” His smile broadened, his eyes glistened flirtatiously. “Do you know why I helped you?”
Taking the opportunity to make a move the moment she expressed her gratitude.
Li Beinian was inwardly critical, but she maintained a cool and elegant facade. She smiled politely, careful to maintain a distance, asking, “Why, exactly?”
“I’m not sure if you’d come across an old saying.”
Accordingly, Shi Yishen kept a respectable distance from her. One had to admit, his mannerism did give one a sense of security.
“A pretty face is commonplace, but an interesting soul is one in a million.”
His voice was rich and complex.
Like a tower bell, it seemed to linger on like echoes long after he spoke.
He smiled like an elegant nobleman and turned to look at her with the sort of gentleness that he seemed to bestow on everyone he addressed.
“From the moment I saw you, I did think you were very pretty, but it was only after you downed all that wine that I realized you were a little different from all the other women I’ve met.”
Li Beinian was stumped.
A veteran Don Juan!
An absolute veteran Don Juan!
If Li Beinian weren’t too narcissistic, she’d be right to suppose that this man was teasing her.
Caught off-guard, she was at a loss for a response.
This lack of response, however, was looked upon by the others as shyness and restrain on Li Beinian’s part.
They looked at her and whispered to each other.
“Shi Yishen has gotten himself hooked up with Eldest Young Master Mu’s ex…”
“That’s right. If a man stood up for me like that, I’d be moved too.”
“How long will it last this time? A month? Shi Yishen’s longest relationship was around three months, I think?”
