Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 93: Something Else Hidden

Wu Hongwen and Xiao Yun stood in a corner of the main living hall, chatting for a long time but it was more of idle topics. There were a few people who had seen their closeness with Gu Xiqiao and had tried to strike up a conversation with them, but they were all dealt with swiftly by Wu Hongwen.

“Cousin, why are you hiding here? Uncle has been looking for you.” Just as the two of them were on another idle topic, a young man holding a wine glass walked over with a warm smile. When he saw Xiao Yun, his eyes brightened. “And this beautiful lady, you are acquainted with my cousin?”

“Why are you here?” Wu Hongwen said, the smile on his face dropping immediately when he saw who it was.

The man ignored Wu Hongwen’s attitude. “Cousin, don’t be so rash. Don’t forget that you’re only able to come to the Yin household because of me. Otherwise you wouldn’t even have the chance to catch a glimpse of the Yin Manor gates on normal days.”

“What’s going on?” Xiao Yun was slightly lost. What did he mean by Wu Hongwen was only able to come because of him, how thick was his face? Didn’t the Yin family personally deliver the invitation to their hands?

“Don’t pay attention to him, he’s a bit nuts.” Wu Hongwen snorted.

Hearing him say that, the man’s face darkened. He and Yin Feifei were lovers, and he had received Yin Feifei’s guarantee that they would receive an invitation from the Yin family. He didn’t hold out any hope on that in the beginning. Their family had always been treading a thin line between law enforcement and underground dealings, and the Yin family were the gatekeepers of N City, how was it possible that they would send an invite to a family with such ties with the underworld?

But when the invitation was delivered to the Wu family patriarch, he believed it. His status had risen to new heights because of this too.

“Wu Hongwen!” The man said coldly, and just as he opened to his mouth to continue, he suddenly caught a glimpse of another figure from the corner of his eyes.

Yin Feifei had shown him a picture of Yin Shaoyuan before, and although it was taken secretly, he could clearly recognize him from it. The person walking towards them was a person that you had to see with your own two eyes, hearing would never be enough to give justice to him—Yin Shaoyuan from N City!

He hurriedly straightened his clothes nervously, finally believing Yin Feifei’s words that she was on very good terms with Yin Shaoyuan.

It was rare for Yin Shaoyuan to show his face. The sharp features he had made him extremely attractive, a roguish smirk on his handsome face, and a pair of mesmerizing eyes which felt like it could pull you in once you looked into them. There were ladies blushing all around as he made his way over, and though they didn’t dare to reach out to him, they parted ways for him to walk through, but their gazes remained fixated on him.

He ignored the outstretched hand of the young man, reaching out to hook an arm around Wu Hongwen’s neck and raised an elegant eyebrow up. “Why is it only both of you here, where’s Qiao Qiao?”

“She went to the washroom, she’ll be back soon.” Wu Hongwen said, trying in vain to dislodge Yin Shaoyuan’s arm, but failing. “You’re going to strangle me to death, are you sure you want that kind of image?”

“She went alone?” Yin Shaoyuan straightened up. A hint of something flashed in his eyes, but it was too quick to be noticed. “Are you sure?”

Wu Hongwen wriggled out from his hold. “Yeah, I’m sure.”

“Alright then, you two have fun. I’ll be back soon.”

They weren’t sure what Yin Shaoyuan was thinking, but he left after those few words, and he looked to be moving in a hurry, disappearing from their sight after a short while.
