The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 958: [The Charm of Men]
"Ah? Antiques that even experts can’t appraise?"
The crowd below erupted into discussions, with various conversations rising and falling in intensity.
However, more people knew clearly in their hearts that Xu Hanwen intended to showcase these antique treasures on the spot to everyone, demonstrating the powerful financial strength of the Xu Family.
"Right, what did Young Master Xu just say? He invited the archaeological experts Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan?"
"Yes, what’s the matter?"
"Do you know? Professors Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan hold a pivotal position in the world of archaeology. It’s safe to say they have top-notch expertise. Just a single glance, and they can determine the age of a treasure, even recounting the family figures related to it off the top of their heads."
"That impressive?"
"Of course, the Lan couple are the most senior professors at Yanjing University. Numerous foreign universities have repeatedly invited them at great expense, only to be turned down. Perhaps ordinary folks don’t know who they are? But in the Capital City circles, anyone with some knowledge knows their name. They rarely attend such events, not even the Eight Great Families can easily invite them. It’s truly impressive that Young Master Xu managed to get these two heavyweights to support the event!"
"Yes, we’ve all heard of the Lan couple’s fame, it’s practically deafening."
...
Listening to the various astonished voices around him, Xu Hanwen maintained a faint smile on his face.
Especially when he heard everyone praising him to the skies, Xu Hanwen felt immensely gratified, though he scanned the front with a smile, his peripheral vision constantly lingered on Qiu Muran.
What is the charm of a man?
Xu Hanwen believed that making countless people admire, envy, and praise you was a man’s charm, just like the current situation. Xu Hanwen believed he was already exuding charm.
Doing something the Eight Great Families couldn’t achieve, yet he did; this was a man’s charm.
Xu Hanwen thought that to conquer a woman, one must make her admire you.
But to his disappointment, Qiu Muran displayed a calm demeanor, free from surprise or delight, not showing the admiration he imagined, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Interesting!
The difficulty of conquest made Xu Hanwen find it even more intriguing. The easier something was to obtain, the quicker Xu Hanwen lost interest. Thus, Qiu Muran became his greatest interest.
Xu Hanwen chuckled, pressing down with both hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.
In a moment, everyone’s attention focused back on Xu Hanwen.
"As everyone knows, Mr. and Mrs. Lan don’t like these kinds of occasions, so they will make an appearance at the end of the reception to appraise the treasures. Those of you who are eagerly anticipating, please be patient for a little while longer."
Xu Hanwen said.
The reception then began, with men and women entering the dance floor, gracefully dancing to the elegant and soothing melody.
However, many kept their attention on Xu Hanwen, eager to know if his final choice of dance partner would be Qiu Muran.
Seeing Qiu Muran not entering the dance floor, everyone found it interesting.
Yet, they quickly thought, who would dare to invite Qiu Muran to dance on Young Master Xu’s turf, wouldn’t that be akin to signing their own death warrant?
"Hmm? Is Qiu Muran walking over again?"
Someone shouted, prompting everyone to notice Qiu Muran was indeed walking this way again.
What was she planning to do?
Even the young master on stage, Xu Hanwen, couldn’t help but be stunned, just when he couldn’t resist going to invite Qiu Muran to dance, yet unexpectedly, Qiu Muran left straight away.
What was going on? Could it be that Qiu Muran was heading for that "driver"?
An unpleasant thought swiftly flashed through Xu Hanwen’s mind, his eyes narrowing, emitting a chilling glint.
Qiu Muran directly approached Ye Chenfeng, extending her hand to invite Ye Chenfeng to dance.
"..."
This scene was quite shocking, unexpectedly Qiu Muran really went and invited Ye Chenfeng to dance. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"I..."
Behind, Xu Hanwen was utterly stunned. He realized that Qiu Muran was avoiding him, seeking that so-called driver before he could make a move.
"Kid, if you dare to touch the woman I have my eye on, I won’t bear the surname Xu if I let you live comfortably for the rest of your life." Xu Hanwen glared at Ye Chenfeng, silently seething inside.
People nearby could feel Xu Hanwen’s overwhelming killing intent; it was practically suffocating.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Ye Chenfeng not responding immediately, Qiu Muran couldn’t help but blink.
"Helping you block arrows again? But you have to compensate me tonight." Ye Chenfeng smiled.
Qiu Muran’s face turned red instantly, yet she nodded.
"Alright, I’ll help you this time! If this happens again next time, I won’t come." Ye Chenfeng said helplessly; this wasn’t attending a reception, it was clearly being a shield and drawing hate.
Thus, the most watched Ye Chenfeng and Qiu Muran entered the dance floor, leaving Xu Hanwen fuming almost to the point of explosion.
The two began to sway slowly to the rhythm of the music. At first, Qiu Muran’s movements were a bit stiff, but gradually she settled into the groove.
Compared to others in the dance floor, Ye Chenfeng and Qiu Muran were very in sync. Their simple, lightweight steps were laced with a magical power, their elegant yet dynamic dance moves visually striking, capturing all eyes.
"Qiu Muran’s boyfriend couldn’t really be this poor bum driver, could he?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Judging by Ye Chenfeng’s appearance, he didn’t seem like someone of high status, just an ordinary driver’s look. Not to mention comparing with someone like Xu Hanwen.
But there’ve been plenty of cases where an average guy won over a wealthy beauty, who knows, maybe Qiu Muran was moved by Ye Chenfeng, it’s not entirely impossible.
People built stories in their minds of an unlikely romance between a humble guy and a wealthy family’s daughter.
"Mr. Xu, may I have this dance?" A sweet, melodious voice reached Xu Hanwen’s ears.
Turning his head, Xu Hanwen saw a pure, doll-like face.
Her name was Lin Jiaojiao, one of the two superstars Xu Hanwen invited. She debuted just days ago and rapidly rose in the entertainment industry with her youthful face and voluptuous figure, adored by countless internet dwellers.
Increasingly popular, she was quickly approaching Liu Yan’s level of fame, and importantly, she was known for her purity, never having been embroiled in any gossip or scandal.
"Okay!"
Xu Hanwen agreed, taking Lin Jiaojiao’s hand and moving together into the center of the dance floor.
Xu Hanwen and Lin Jiaojiao danced with remarkable chemistry, especially Lin Jiaojiao’s incredibly flexible body, allowing her to perform many difficult moves that most women couldn’t do. In an instant, they became the center of attention.
