"Oh, so it's the young lady of the Qin family. No wonder she has such grace," people murmured, inevitably stealing a few glances.
Those who knew Qin Xiaoya, however, focused their attention on Jiang Chen. It was rare to see Qin Xiaoya attending a gala with a stranger.
"Hey, who is that man? He's with Qin Xiaoya. Could he be her boyfriend?"
"Impossible. That man looks quite ordinary. If Qin Xiaoya has taken a liking to him, she must have some issues with her eyesight."
"He's probably just a business partner. After all, Qin Xiaoya is now the president of the Qin Family Group; she can't possibly be dating anyone."
A group of people whispered among themselves, but their curiosity soon shifted elsewhere. After all, the event was filled with stars, and there were even individuals with more impressive backgrounds than Qin Xiaoya's. Naturally, they couldn't keep their eyes on her for too long.
"Hi, Qin Xiaoya! I didn't expect to see you here tonight. I was planning to look for you tomorrow," someone suddenly approached her with enthusiasm.
It was a young woman of similar age to Qin Xiaoya, dressed in a sexy deep-V evening gown that accentuated her figure and drew attention.
"Yang Yuxin! What are you doing back in the country?" Qin Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise.
Yang Yuxin was Qin Xiaoya's childhood friend and the granddaughter of the third generation of the Yang family in Beijing. After finishing elementary school, her parents sent her to the United States for further studies. Later, she attended the same university as Qin Xiaoya in the U.S. After graduating, while Qin Xiaoya returned home to familiarize herself with family business, Yang Yuxin stayed in the U.S. to develop her career. They hadn't seen each other for two years, so encountering each other in such a setting was unexpected and delightful.
"I'm back for blind dates! I just arrived today and got dragged here by my parents before I could even tell you," Yang Yuxin said helplessly.
"Blind dates? You still have to go on blind dates?" Qin Xiaoya laughed.
"I have no choice! You know my grandfather is adamantly opposed to me dating someone from abroad. Actually, I already have a boyfriend in the U.S., a super handsome guy, but I'm too scared to bring him home. This time I'm just here to placate them; I'll bring him back in a few years," Yang Yuxin whispered.
"In a few years? You'll be in your thirties by then! If you don't get engaged this time, your parents and grandfather won't let you off easily," Qin Xiaoya said with amusement.
"And what about you? You're only a few months older than me!" Yang Yuxin retorted.
"Alright, let's not talk about that; we're still good friends," Qin Xiaoya shrugged, realizing they weren't suited to continue that topic.
Shifting gears, Yang Yuxin's curious gaze landed on Jiang Chen as she sized him up.
"Qin Xiaoya, who is he?" Yang Yuxin asked.
"Mr. Jiang," Qin Xiaoya replied briefly, unwilling to elaborate on Jiang Chen. Yet Yang Yuxin seemed quite interested in him.
"It's the first time I've seen you with a man; your relationship must be special, right? He can't be your boyfriend?" Yang Yuxin teased with a wink.
"Oh dear, Yang Yuxin! Don't say such things; there's nothing going on!" Qin Xiaoya felt extremely embarrassed as her face flushed.
Despite her repeated explanations and attempts to clarify their relationship, she couldn't help but feel an uncontainable thrill whenever others misunderstood her connection with Jiang Chen—especially when they thought they were a couple.
"Is that really true?" Yang Yuxin initially intended it as a joke, but upon seeing Qin Xiaoya's reaction, she was left speechless.
