WT Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Ambiguity, Eyes Filled with Meaningful Warning

Chapter 26 Ambiguity, eyes filled with meaningful warning.

As he spoke, Wen Shixi slightly raised his eyes, looking at the man who had suddenly arrived.

The boundless deep sea was like the heavy past that could not be erased.

No one knew Wen Shixi’s every preference better than Jiang Quanyu, and no one would use such undisguised pampering to protect someone who was already an adult in a greenhouse.

Under the crystal chandelier, the crowd was silent.

The favoritism in Jiang Quanyu’s words was almost undisguised, as if telling everyone that his brother didn’t need any extra help, he only needed to choose what he liked as he pleased.

Tang Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

After a moment, Tang Xu said, “Okay, I didn’t know, I’m sorry…”

In the focus of everyone’s attention, Jiang Quanyu heard Tang Xu’s reply, his expression calm, and he turned to look at Jiang Yan.

He nodded slightly and said to Jiang Yan, “Hello, Uncle.”

With elders present, Jiang Quanyu should naturally speak to the elders first. Jiang Yan smiled gently like an elder and responded, “It’s not easy for Quanyu to return to the country, we haven’t seen each other for many years.”

Jiang Quanyu’s tone was cold, and there was no respect in it, but he was very well-mannered and said seriously, “I just returned to the country not long ago, and there is too much work. Please don’t blame me, Uncle.”

“How could I blame you.” Jiang Yan said, “It’s hard for you, but no matter how important your work is, you must remember to take care of your body.”

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle.” Jiang Quanyu said, turning his gaze to Wen Shixi and gently looking into the latter’s eyes.

After a moment, Jiang Quanyu asked, “Why don’t you greet me again?”

Wen Shixi: “…”

Wen Shixi pursed his lips, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Bearing the title of family member, no matter how unhappy he and Jiang Quanyu were, he had to bite the bullet and call him brother.

But mentioning the address, Wen Shixi was momentarily distracted, thinking of Tang Xu’s “Brother Quanyu” just now.

His lips parted slightly, and the next second, Wen Shixi’s voice softened suddenly, and he smiled slightly.

Beside the huge glass window, against the backdrop of the clear moon reflecting the sea, the beautiful omega gently raised his head, his voice soft and kind, and his eyes contained a star-like smile.

Wen Shixi: “Where did brother go? Why did you arrive so late?”

The usually cold and harsh person softened slightly, his eyelashes trembling, lively and cute, as if he had a soft and glutinous look from his childhood, which made people lose their minds.

In between breaths, Jiang Quanyu’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

A touch of inexplicable and concerned strangeness appeared in Jiang Quanyu’s eyes. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Tang Xu beside him out of the corner of his eye.

“Well… I was busy in the room for a while.”

Beside the two, since seeing Jiang Quanyu, Tang Xu’s pair of deer-like eyes, slightly aggrieved, flickered gently and had not moved away from Jiang Quanyu.

Tang Xu’s heart contained incomprehension and helplessness, because in his impression, Jiang Quanyu was not someone who liked to meddle in other people’s affairs, let alone refuse his kind invitation in this way.

Seeing that the greetings between the few people were over, Tang Xu opened his mouth and called out, “Brother Quanyu.”

Jiang Quanyu turned his head, his tone was not friendly, nor was it cold: “I just heard that you are going to hold a salon concert, congratulations.”

Tang Xu put on a smile again: “Thank you, I will definitely work hard… will you come?”

Jiang Quanyu nodded: “If I have time.”

Seeing Jiang Quanyu coming, Jiang Yan opened his mouth in a timely manner and introduced Walter to Jiang Quanyu.

Words full of flattery and lobbying gradually filled and expanded, pulling everyone at the banquet into the topic.

Although the voices of the banquet where the upper class gathered rose and fell, it was not noisy.

Jiang Quanyu gradually walked away, but always revolved within a short distance.

Amidst the voices, Wen Shixi stood beside Jiang Yan, listening quietly with a detached expression.

Wen Shixi had never been involved in any company matters, nor was he interested in them.

Unconsciously, he was just listening to Jiang Quanyu speak, listening to that slightly hoarse and magnetic voice.

Jiang Quanyu at work was very different from Jiang Quanyu in his memory.

In such working situations, Jiang Quanyu’s voice sounded extremely indifferent, and his words were always paused appropriately, vaguely expressing doubts, or coldly skipping over other people’s requests.

But in Wen Shixi’s memory, Jiang Quanyu’s voice was always much gentler and more patient when facing him.

Wen Shixi increasingly felt that he didn’t understand Jiang Quanyu at all.

Lost in thought, Jiang Yan and Walter spoke with old friends together, gradually walking to a slightly farther position.

At this banquet, everyone had a reason to socialize, except for Wen Shixi.

He leaned against the edge of the sea view window alone, his eyes drooping unconsciously.

The slender omega was cold, and his white dress was extremely clean, full of a quietness that had nothing to do with the banquet, like the magnolias planted on both sides of the spring street.

But when the flowers bloomed to the fullest, the petals drooped, revealing a sense of desolation that was out of tune with the spring.

Before long, a figure slowly approached.

Noticing someone standing in front of him, Wen Shixi looked up and looked at the young man in front of him.

“Hello.” Seeing Wen Shixi regaining his senses, the young alpha who suddenly visited handed him the wine glass in his hand: “Why are you standing here alone? Are you bored?”

Wen Shixi showed a hint of incomprehension, and his eyes swept over the wine glass in the man’s hand.

It was a glass of spicy vodka that he had just helped Tang Xu stop.

Wen Shixi decisively refused: “I don’t want it, thank you.”

The young alpha was stunned and quickly said, “I just saw you helping that pianist… I thought you liked this.”

Wen Shixi: “I don’t seem to know you. Is there anything you want from me?”

Hearing this, the young alpha showed a kind smile: “Hello, my name is Lin Yining. I saw you standing here alone and wanted to say hello and get to know you.”

Wen Shixi was very straightforward: “Although I am Jiang Quanyu’s brother, I will not participate in any decisions regarding the theme park project.”

Lin Yining smiled heartily and was very frank: “You misunderstood, I just think you look very handsome when you help others out of trouble, not because you are Jiang Quanyu’s brother.”

As Lin Yining spoke, he handed the glass of vodka back to the passing waiter.

Then, he turned slightly, his hand facing the beverage tray in the waiter’s hand: “Then what do you like to drink? Red wine or cocktails? Do you want to try today’s champagne? It’s Asti from the Piedmont region of Italy, the taste is very good.”

The alpha in front of him had a heroic temperament, handsome appearance, and his conversation was also very extraordinary.

Wen Shixi hesitated for a moment, then happily said, “Then I’ll try it.”

Wen Shixi raised his hand and took the wine glass from Lin Yining’s hand. The tulip-shaped glass was particularly elegant, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing, and the liquid was bright and clear.

He slowly brought the wine glass to his lips, when he suddenly noticed a dangerous gaze.

The hand holding the wine glass paused slightly in the air, and their eyes met and connected.

Jiang Quanyu in the crowd, standing among several developers, his narrow eyes looking from afar, his eyes filled with meaningful warning.

Wen Shixi only paused for a moment, then continued to raise his arm.

ASTI SPUMANTE, a specialty of the Piedmont region, has a clear and elegant taste. Because it has been aged for a period of time, the bubbles are delicate and soft. When it enters the mouth, the bubbles rise and break, resonating with a light sound between the teeth.

After taking a sip, Wen Shixi shook the wine glass, listening to the bubbles jumping, and said, “It is indeed good.”

The sparkling wine stained the corners of his lips, and the shimmer and light pink overlapped, and the aroma of the wine was extremely tempting.

From Wen Shixi’s point of view, Jiang Quanyu’s face was so cold that dregs could fall off.

Hearing this, Lin Yining smiled and said politely: “Judging from your appearance, do you think such occasions are very boring?”

Wen Shixi didn’t answer, but asked back, “Does Mr. Lin think today’s banquet is boring?”

“I came with my father.” Lin Yining looked at Wen Shixi’s face with eager eyes and said slowly: “I think Mr. Wen is standing here alone and is not interested in the family’s business. He should be the same kind of person as me. Isn’t it boring?”

Not far away, Jiang Quanyu saw that his eye warning was useless, and his steps contained chill, walking towards Wen Shixi step by step.

Wen Shixi tilted his head slightly, his eyes crossed Lin Yining’s face, and looked at the approaching figure behind him.

There was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was neither salty nor bland.

“Is there?”
