Chapter 545 - The Three in the Table

She bit her lips as she held back the tears that were threatening to come down.

That dimwit Jang Shin! He is so tactless!

"Ack-!"

While cursing Jang Shin absently in her mind, she missed a step and her six-inch stiletto broke.

Tang Xinyang\'s instinct kicked in. She immediately steadied herself before she fell down.

This short accident made the tears welling up in Tang Xinyang\'s eyes fall.

She almost fell down. That scared her a bit.

What scared Tang Xinyang was that she had to do all the troublesome process of changing again, retouch her make-up, and beautify herself once more if she fell and got dirty.

Tang Xinyang bent down and took off the broken shoe. She decided to take the other shoe off as well.

She was in a deserted corridor anyway. It was at the opposite side of the guests\' entrance. No one would see her walking barefooted on the cold ground floor.

Tang Xinyang suddenly heard running footsteps approaching towards her.

She frowned.

"Xinyang!" Jang Shin\'s figure appeared at the corner and called out to her.

Tang Xinyang immediately turned around. She was still angry. She strode away barefooted and ignored Jang Shin\'s calling.

Tang Xinyang could still not get over what Jang Shin had said....

****

Earlier when Xiong Zhi and Linfeng left the table, Tang Xinyang was left alone. But it did not last long because the man she was waiting for finally arrived.

Jang Shin walked to the table together with William.

William\'s white suit was replaced by an elegant double-b.r.e.a.s.ted black suit, almost similar in style with earlier although less fashionable and more low-key. However, his silver retro collar brooch chain unexpectedly blended with the black outfit, turning the overall appearance into a runway look.

Since William\'s body was sturdier and taller in built than Jang Shin, the black suit fitted his body rather firmly. However, it made William ooze with male hormones, highlighting the wide shoulders, strong chest, and the looming firm abdominal muscles.

If earlier it made William look like an aristocratic prince, the outfit now made him seem like a noble yet dangerous archduke.

Tang Xinyang could not help but give him a second look of admiration and applaud.

"Wow, clothes really make a man! You look totally different from earlier by just changing suits. Your muscles are clearly showing. I approve! S.e.xy!" Tang Xinyang grinned and gave William a thumbs up.

Since Tang Xinyang had exchanged blows with him, she regarded him as a buddy already.

William who was initially uncomfortable with the tight suit finally felt that the suit was actually pretty good although it was tighter than usual.

He showed his usual dashing smile, which leaked a domineering air because of the overall change in temperament. "Of course, it\'s me, William, after all. But compared to you, I am a tad less appealling."

Tang Xinyang laughed at William\'s praise. One would feel good if the person you regarded highly called you appealing.

"Hehe. Thank you for your praise. I\'ve always known my charm."

Jang Shin imperceptibly frowned at the two\'s exchange. He squeezed Tang Xinyang\'s cheeks. "Your smile look foolish. It\'s ugly."

Tang Xinyang: "..."

William: ....This guy must have never gotten a girlfriend before!

Tang Xinyang took off Jang Shin\'s hand in annoyance. "My smile isn\'t ugly." She look at William, her senior, for confirmation. "Right?"

Her senior told her that she looked appealing, so Tang Xinyang had the confidence to ask him.

William naturally sided with the beautiful woman. "Of course. Your smile is sweeter than honey."

"Is that so?"

Tang Xinyang scratched her head a bit embarrassedly. After getting praised twice in a row, she felt obligated to return the favor.

"You too. Your smile is..." Tang Xinyang looked at William\'s handsomely smiling face. She searched for the most appropriate adjectives.

"Your smile is dashing, like an airflip."

William: An... airflip?

His imagination made him see himself puckering and twisting his lips in an imitation of an airflip.

It did not seem like a praise.

"Haha." Jang Shin chuckled. He looked at William with a gaze that said, \'Serves you right\'.

William ignored the jealous man\'s mocking gaze and continued speaking to the interesting woman. "Who are the other people on this table?"

Tang Xinyang glanced at the direction of the entrance and saw the couple still having a chat with another person.

"It is Zhi and Linfeng."

"Linfeng? Where is he?" Jang Shin asked, his attention diverted.

"There, they saw someone they know." Tang Xinyang pointed at the entrance.

The two men also looked and saw the couple.

At the same time, William\'s gaze accidentally swept to the fifth row where King Yan was sitting alone on the table.

King Yan\'s melancholic gaze never left William since he entered in that fitted suit. Meeting William\'s eyes, King Yan raised his wineglass at him, seeming to invite him.

William immediately turned his head back to Tang Xinyang, purifying his mind.

"So Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, and both of us will sit here," Jang Shin muttered. "Then, Sir William, should I ask the attendants to lead you to your table? Or I can guide you there." Jang Shin turned to William. He wanted to kick this Casanova out.

William shook his head immediately. "I have no table. I belong here."

"Eh?" Tang Xinyang looked surprised. "You didn\'t know? You will sit together with King Yan. That is Xiong Zhi\'s arrangement, and so we just followed it. I think it is on the fifth row."

William sweated. He did not want to be alone with that man, who seem to have not gotten over him yet.

"The event has not yet started. It is alright for me to stay here, Xinyang. I still want to exchange words of wisdom with my outstanding junior."

Tang Xinyang\'s eyes lit up. She immediately nodded. Exchanging notes! "Of course. You can stay here all you want!"

The veins on Jang Shin\'s temples appeared again. He looked coldly at Tang Xinyang.
