Chapter 956

In the tranquil resting lounge, Shen Yiren and Qianxun sat down side by side on the sofa where there was a marble table next to them that was laid with red wine and desserts .

Shen Yiren looked at the devilishly charming woman with a set of perfectly crafted features and could not help but lament, “You’re really beautiful . No wonder Xiao Bai has such good looks as well . So, he inherited the best genes from you and Lu Yanzhi . ”

Qianxun’s lips quivered as she wanted to profess that she wasn’t Xiao Bai’s mother when Shen Yiren spoke again, “Could… Could I ask you something?”

“Hmms? Go ahead . ”

“Will you get together with Yanzhi?” Shen Yiren did not beat around the bush and was particularly straightforward . Part of the reason why she had worked so hard and returned home with international fame was because she wanted to be a capable woman that was befitting of Lu Yanzhi .

Qianxun did not feel any malice from Shen Yiren . However, she still replied sternly, “Why would you ask that out of the blue?”

“Because I fancy Yanzhi and I want to be his wife . ” When she said that, there was a twinkle in Shen Yiren’s eyes as her lips curled up naturally as well .

She tensed up slightly, picked up a dessert before continuing, “On the surface, you look like a heavenly match with Yanzhi . If you both are truly in love, even though I would feel envy and jealousy, I would offer my sincere blessings . If you and Yanzhi are not intending to get together despite having Xiao Bai, I would like to say that I wish to court him and be with him . At the same time, I promise you that if I’m with Yanzhi, I would take good care of Xiao Bai as though he was my own son as well . ”

Qianxun was stumped momentarily before she broke out into a mesmerising smile .

For that moment, Shen Yiren was stunned by Qianxun’s charms as well – this was truly a beauty that could topple entire nations over her . It wasn’t just on the surface, Qianxun’s beauty was innate that brought with it a natural and intuitive bewitchment .

Yanzhi said that Shen Yiren was young and did not have the scent of a woman .

Comparing herself to Qianxun, Shen Yiren felt that she was truly somewhat young . Also, tomboyish in fact…

If she was a man, she would even find herself falling head over heels for Qianxun too .

Despite that she had said earlier on, if Qianxun truly liked Yanzhi but Yanzhi did not feel the same, Shen Yiren would definitely want to try and compete with Qianxun . However, it was definitely not a fight Shen Yiren would feel confident of winning…

Against such a beauty, everything seems lacklustre .

Yet, Shen Yiren did not want to leave any regrets behind .

Gradually, Qianxun kept her smile as her face turned sterner while she spoke in a hushed tone, “I’ll not get together with Lu Yanzhi . If you fancy him, go ahead . ”

“For real?” Shen Yiren was surprised .

Qianxun smiled faintly . “Of course . Our relationship is not what you think it is . I’ll not get together with Lu Yanzhi . ”

Shen Yiren smiled out in ecstasy . She was actually rather crestfallen earlier on thinking that she wouldn’t stand a chance against such competition .

But if Qianxun did not feel the way she had assumed and there was no competition available, Shen Yiren could focus on just courting Yanzhi herself .

It was way easier for a woman to court a man than the other way around – she stood a high chance at succeeding!

Raising the wine bottle from the table, Shen Yiren poured two glasses of wine . She was somewhat nervous and somewhat excited – she would always get jittery at anything related to Lu Yanzhi .

“I-I don’t know what to say b-but… I’m really glad I got to know you!” Shen Yiren raised her glass .
