Chapter 492 Recognized While Drunk
The group settled into the booth. While admiring the handsome men, Yang Dongcha glanced at Ning Yao out of the corner of her eye.
"Are you cold? Why are you wearing a coat?"
"Your collarbones are so beautiful, you should show them off, they're one of your strengths!"
"If I had a swan-like neck like you, I would want to cut every piece of clothing to show off my collarbone."
In fact, Ning Yao's advantages are not only her neck and collarbone, but also her long legs, waist, and chest...
Such a perfect woman is rare. Sometimes when Yang Dongcha looks at Ning Yao, he can't help but think that if he were a man, he would definitely want to win over a woman with such a great figure!
While Yang Dongcha was daydreaming, little did she know that Ning Yao's son, Ning Chen, had a hint of displeasure flash in his eyes.
It's as if he practically has "I'm unhappy" written all over his forehead.
The waiters at the party had already spotted Yang Dongcha and her group, and brought out all kinds of drinks, beverages, and freshly squeezed juices for them to choose from.
Yang Dongcha is their big boss. How can they survive if they don't even have this much sense?
"Tell them to turn the music down a bit," Yang Dongcha said, picking up a cocktail and instructing the waiter.
"Okay, I'll go right away." The waiter quickly followed Yang Dongcha's instructions, asking the band to turn down the volume and change to a few more soothing songs, while also adjusting the lighting to be much softer.
Ning Yao's head finally stopped buzzing. She reached out to grab the same cocktail as Yang Dongcha, but Ning Chen stopped her.
"Mom, drinking alcohol isn't good for your health. Drink juice instead," Ning Chen advised Ning Yao in a soft voice.
Ning Yao hesitated. Didn't she drink enough juice at home? It was a rare trip out, and she still wanted to drink juice? She couldn't even touch a drop of alcohol.
Although she was very unhappy, Ning Yao knew that Ning Chen was doing it for her own good.
What kind of son would harm his own mother?
So Ning Yao pulled her coat tighter, then obediently picked up a glass of freshly squeezed juice and drank it silently.
Although the music became much softer, the men singing and dancing on stage remained enthusiastic and their movements were very unrestrained.
Compared to a regular bar, Ning Yao felt this environment was much more comfortable; she could admire handsome men without worrying about being approached.
It's worth noting that both she and Yang Dongcha are good-looking and have great figures. They can stun everyone with just a little dressing up. Whenever they go out, almost no man doesn't take the initiative to chat with them.
But the people Yang Dongcha summoned were very well-behaved; each carried out their work in their respective performance areas in an orderly manner.
The men who were dancing stayed on stage almost the entire time, constantly changing their dance moves to the music. At most, they would occasionally glance at Ning Yao, mostly with admiration, and there was nothing impolite about it.
After this group finished dancing, they went offstage to rest, and then new people took their place.
"Don't just focus on the handsome guys and forget the point of hosting this party." Ning Yao noticed that Yang Dongcha's lips were constantly upturned, revealing the cunning look of a mischievous older sister sizing up a young man, and kindly reminded him.
She came here to confirm whether she wanted to marry Lian Qiran, not just to look at handsome guys.
"I know, don't worry, I've been thinking about it." Yang Dongcha hadn't forgotten, of course. While looking at the handsome man, she was also torn between marriage and not getting married, and for a moment she couldn't decide which way to focus.
"Hey, isn't that Su Tianxiao?" Cui Mengmeng suddenly exclaimed as if she had discovered something new, her voice a little loud.
Her shout drew the attention of Ning Yao and Yang Dongcha.
In a corner of the stage, a man dressed in all black was toying with a glass of wine between his fingers; most of the liquid in the wine had already been swallowed.
"It really does seem to be Su Tianxiao." Ning Yao looked at him, her voice not quite certain, only vaguely feeling that the person resembled him.
The party lights were dimmed considerably, and they were quite far apart—one in a booth in the very center of the venue, and the other in the most secluded corner. Not only were they quite far apart, but many people were also walking back and forth in the corridors, blocking their view.
"You even paid Su Tianxiao to come over?" Ning Yao asked, raising an eyebrow.
She knew Su Tianxiao fairly well, after all, they had played games together. You can tell a lot about a person's personality from their interactions in the game, especially since Su Tianxiao had been her opponent in lane; they were both top-tier junglers in Glory of Kings.
Based on her understanding of Su Tianxiao, this person was arrogant and conceited, and shouldn't be the kind of person who would sell himself out for a little money.
He would not accept Yang Dongcha's invitation, much less come to a place specifically designed to please women.
"I don't know. My assistant drafted the list. I only told him one thing: they have to be handsome. If they're not handsome, they can't be invited. It's a waste of my money," Yang Dongcha said, waving his hand dismissively.
Su Tianxiao is quite good-looking and a game streamer with a large following, so it's highly likely that her assistant sent him the invitation.
He's here, so what? Is he some kind of special person?
Thinking of this, Yang Dongcha asked Ning Yao, "Are you interested in Su Tianxiao? I remember you participated in the Glory Peak competition before. Were you attracted by his appearance and skills?"
Ning Yao shook her head and said truthfully, "I have no interest in him."
She was interested in her sister-in-law, since Su Tianxiao was the man her sister-in-law liked.
It's obvious that Wen Qingjia has feelings for Su Tianxiao. Regardless of the nature of those feelings, the fact that she's willing to put in the effort and personally show up to support Su Tianxiao speaks volumes.
The cheat software that appeared at that time was outrageous; it might have been made by someone hired by Wen Qingjia.
Ning Yao only suspected this in her heart and didn't tell Wen Tingye, but since she could sense it, Wen Tingye probably knew it too.
If Wen Tingye cares so much about his non-biological sister Wen Na, how much more would he care about his biological sister?
Ning Yao never liked being dealt with by underhanded tricks, and she would definitely retaliate if anyone used such dirty tactics.
At least let the other party know that Ning Yao is not someone to be trifled with.
But this time, the one targeting her was Wen Qingjia, Wen Tingye's sister. Ning Yao thought that no matter what, she couldn't do anything to her sister-in-law, especially since Wen Qingjia didn't know that the contestants on stage were her brother and... her future sister-in-law.
Thinking of her future sister-in-law, Ning Yao's ears turned red involuntarily, especially with Wen Tingye's image constantly on her mind.
I only realized today that she had absolutely no interest in these handsome men, and even looked for Wen Tingye's shadow in those so-called young heartthrobs.
Has she gone mad with desire? Has she been bewitched by that man and lost her mind?
Does this mean she's made up her mind and decided to spend the rest of her life with Wen Tingye?
As Ning Yao was thinking, a group of people came down from the stage, it seemed that it was time to change the performers again.
The lights became much brighter, and the music changed to one with a stronger rhythm than before.
Three or five men walked back onto the stage from the entrance to the dance floor, and among them was Su Tianxiao.
The moment Ning Yao saw Su Tianxiao walk onto the dance floor, she realized that the other person was indeed Su Tianxiao.
His world-weary and disdainful gaze, tinged with drunkenness, even after he went on stage, he glanced at her sideways.
Three question marks flashed through Ning Yao's mind: "???"
Didn't she disguise herself before participating in the competition? How could Su Tianxiao recognize her?
