Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1457 - 1453: The Banquet

After visiting the rooms upstairs, Ye Fan was not particularly satisfied with this place.

Zhao Tianya said, "Ye Fan, what do you think? You’ll come here often in the future; you’re the man of this house."

Ye Fan slightly shook his head and said, "It’s not that I don’t like it; it’s just that this isn’t the life I want. Coming occasionally is fine, but living here long-term, I’d be uncomfortable. I’ve already had the place in the secret realm tidied up; you can go there anytime."

"So you mean, we three don’t plan to attend the wedding the day after tomorrow?" Zhao Tianya said, somewhat angrily.

Ye Fan was noncommittal, and Qin Mengyao anxiously said, "Fan, we want to go..."

"Don’t go, it’ll be dangerous for you there. To be honest, this wedding has another purpose. When things get out of control, I don’t know if I can protect you. Even within the secret realm it might not be safe, but there will be many protecting you, with considerable skills. You also need to take care of yourselves; I might not have time to personally protect you these next few days," Ye Fan said.

"Fan, are you leaving again?" Qin Mengyao pouted, looking very aggrieved.

"Hmm." Ye Fan nodded.

Zhao Tianya said with some annoyance, "I knew your time was limited, always busy, busy, busy. You used to use this kind of excuse to brush me off, and now that you’re cultivating immortality, you’re even busier. There’s a cocktail party today; come with me, and also Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao. It’s not too much to ask, right? Just over an hour at most. After it ends, we’ll go to that secret realm you mentioned. I want to see that place; can you fly off the planet or something?"

Looking at the eager eyes of Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoxiao, Ye Fan asked, "What kind of cocktail party is it?"

"It’s for socialites, mostly girls are invited to attend. I fought for spots for Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao, but for you... you must go because there’s someone you’ll want to see at this cocktail party!" Zhao Tianya said.

"Someone I want to see? Who?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"If you want to know, can’t you find out for yourself?" Zhao Tianya was somewhat angry, as if this person had hurt her greatly.

Ye Fan helplessly shook his head; Zhao Tianya was angry again for some unknown reason, without any clear starting point.

...

...

There are always many cocktail parties in Hua Hai City, but usually, the attendees are people who know each other, and these events are not open to outsiders.

Like this cocktail party, most of the attendees are socialites from the city. Many come with male companions, but the requirements for these companions are very high.

This is not a singles party, so attendees do not necessarily need to be single.

Ye Fan was originally going to send Zhao Tianya and others to the secret realm. By chance, he decided to come over to see what kind of woman made Zhao Tianya angry.

The cocktail party was held at a private villa. Zhao Tianya drove, with Ye Fan in the passenger seat, and Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoxiao in the back seat, creating a somewhat complex relationship among them. Ye Fan felt a bit awkward; if Sun Ning were driving, he could sweet-talk the two girls in the back seat. Now, he had to sit in the front like a male escort, accompanying Zhao Tianya to the cocktail party.

The three women were carefully dressed, looking very beautiful, while Ye Fan had not groomed himself at all, and even had a bit of stubble on his face, looking rugged.

The car eventually parked outside the villa, where many luxury cars were gathered, and numerous beautiful women were greeting each other or had already entered the villa.

Ye Fan got out of the car first, but he didn’t walk over to open the car door for Zhao Tianya. Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoxiao stepped out, standing obediently by his side, while Zhao Tianya came over from the other side.

"We can park here, let’s go in!" Zhao Tianya said.

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked, "Why are there so many people outside?"

Zhao Tianya proudly said, "To attend this cocktail party, an invitation is required. There are two organizers, and I’m one of them, so you have an invitation. It’s easy to get in! Think of it as a cocktail party held by me and another person for you!"

"For me?" Ye Fan didn’t quite understand what she meant.

"Be content, the girls invited today are mostly socialites. Their backgrounds are excellent, their educational backgrounds are high, and most importantly, they are youthful and beautiful. If they stand by your side in the future, you won’t be embarrassed!" While Zhao Tianya was speaking, someone seemed to recognize her from afar, and it looked like a "sister" known to Zhao Tianya.

The approaching woman appeared to be in her thirties, with a very charming demeanor, though in Ye Fan’s view, she was wearing too much makeup.

As the woman approached, she said, "Oh my, isn’t this our little Ya? Haven’t seen you in ages, and you’ve become rather pretty. Did you bring friends today?"

Zhao Tianya smiled, greeted the woman, and then turned to look at Ye Fan, slightly smiling: "This is my friend, his name is Ye Fan. Ye Fan, this is the elder sister I knew from my school days, and she has helped me in business before. I call her Sister Lin; you can do the same!"

"Ye Fan? That name sounds familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere." The woman walked over and shook Ye Fan’s hand politely.

Ye Fan could feel the woman’s hand was very cold, almost icy.

The woman seemed uninterested in Ye Fan and turned to Zhao Tianya: "Little Ya, haven’t seen you in a long time, what have you been up to recently? This young man, is he the ’boy’ you just found?"

"Sister Lin, please don’t joke like that!" Zhao Tianya said somewhat anxiously.

"Hehe, still so shy? Just like during school, always like a little girl, standing by my side like a sister. Come on, today you’re a host too, just like me. Once inside, I’ll introduce you to a few charming men who might be better than your Ye Fan!"

Sister Lin spoke without much consideration, probably believing Ye Fan to be just a youngster. Coupled with Zhao Tianya’s wealth and status, she might have thought Ye Fan was merely a temporary good-looking guy brought out for show.

Ye Fan touched his face, always thinking he wasn’t very handsome, pondering, "Do I have the potential to be a kept man?"

"Sister Lin, things aren’t quite what you imagine. Ye Fan... is a very good friend of mine. Let me also introduce my two sisters, Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao. Sisters, come and greet Sister Lin?" Zhao Tianya prompted Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoxiao.

Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoxiao approached, a bit shy, and Qin Mengyao said, "Sister Lin."

Sister Lin’s gaze seemed to linger on Yang Xiaoxiao: "Looks familiar, like an actress. I’ve been watching some series at home lately, and this face... really has a star quality!"

"Sister Lin is right, our Xiaoxiao has indeed acted in many TV dramas, but that’s the past. Now she’s focused on being a student. After her studies, she’ll continue her acting career." Zhao Tianya said with a smile.
