Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 225 - 218: Charity Gala (Part 3)

Bai Yiran sat in the back with Yao Zhiqing, because their status wasn’t high enough. The seats up front were, of course, reserved for leaders and business moguls.

Bai Yiran didn’t really mind where she sat. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Leng Yichen also being here. This man never played by the rules. Just like now, from the moment he walked in, he hadn’t said a word to Bai Yiran, not even spared her a glance. He’d clearly wanted them to remarry not long ago, yet now acted like a stranger. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

And it was precisely this behavior that made Bai Yiran uneasy, because she had no idea what he would do next.

Bai Qianyu wasn’t satisfied with their current seating. She felt that if they moved any further back, they’d be out of the room. In such a position, forget about wealthy elites, there were hardly any men.

Indeed, the seats in the back were mostly occupied by women, and the men there were usually older. Except, of course, for Ming Kai.

Bai Qianyu glanced at Ming Kai and sneered slightly, though deep down she felt a bit envious of Bai Yiran.

"Tch~" Bai Qianyu looked at Ming Kai’s excessive attentiveness to Bai Yiran, feeling envious yet pretending to be unimpressed.

Bai Yiran glanced at Bai Qianyu indifferently and whispered to Ming Kai beside her, "Ming Kai, I think I’ve made it clear. I’ve been divorced, we are not suitable..."

"I know, and I’ve said I don’t mind. I’ll wait for you." Ming Kai paused, "Are you upset that I haven’t contacted you these days? It’s because something unfortunate happened at my parents’ hospital, and I’ve been busy helping them every day, so..."

"It’s not that, I will soon be with my ex-husband..."

Before Bai Yiran could finish her sentence, their conversation was interrupted by Ming Kai’s mother sitting opposite them.

"Look at these two kids, a perfect match. Teacher Yao, we really must thank you for the introduction. My husband and I can finally be at ease."

In the eyes of others, the two whispering looked like a couple exchanging sweet nothings. Ming Kai’s parents were smiling, clearly very pleased with Bai Yiran.

She was pretty, polite, and had a good education. The more they looked at her, the more they liked her. Ming Kai had remained single without finding a partner, which worried the Ming family couple. They had introduced many potential partners and nagged him, but to no avail. They almost questioned Ming Kai’s sexuality. Now seeing their son’s enthusiasm for Bai Yiran, they were inexplicably happy.

Yao Zhiqing listened to Mrs. Ming’s words, a slight smile on her lips, but said nothing. She knew well that Bai Yiran and Ming Kai were impossible, not with an ex-husband like Leng Yichen. However, she introduced them, and now if things went awry, not only would she offend Leng Yichen, but also face blame from the Ming family.

For the first time, Yao Zhiqing felt she had done a good deed with bad results.

"Mrs. Ming is really kind-hearted." Bai Qianyu’s sweet voice suddenly piped up, eager to make her presence known.

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Ming finally noticed Bai Qianyu sitting on the other side of Yao Zhiqing.

Bai Qianyu chuckled softly, her tone gentle, "After all, my sister has been married before, and it’s so good of you not to mind."

Bai Qianyu’s words stunned everyone present.

"Your sister?" Mrs. Ming asked.

"Yes, Bai Yiran is my sister~" Bai Qianyu looked at Bai Yiran, her eyes full of ’affection’ for her sister. "I’m really happy for you, sis~"

Bai Qianyu’s sudden words made Yao Zhiqing look rather uncomfortable.

How could she talk so inappropriately!

Bai Yiran coldly regarded Bai Qianyu, her lips maintaining a faint smile. She knew Bai Qianyu wouldn’t stay quiet today.

Upon learning that Bai Yiran had been married, Ming Kai’s parents’ expressions changed instantly.

"Zhiqing! What’s going on? You introduced her! What’s lacking in our Ming Kai that he has to match with a divorced woman!" Mrs. Ming’s attitude changed rapidly. Just before they seemed like a good match, now she felt her son was getting a raw deal!
