Chapter 66 Qin Shao’s Plan Falls Through_1

Translator: 549690339

The audience had been moved by Qin Haowen’s affectionate speech and were saluting him with rapt attention.

Qin Haowen’s fair-weather friends were puzzled; how had the once carefree young Qin changed so completely, now hopelessly in love?

Many beautiful women in the audience, their eyes sparkling with stars, were staring at Qin Haowen without blinking, thinking that not only was he young and wealthy, but also handsome. And now he seemed to have turned over a new leaf, becoming a man of deep feelings—practically the perfect boyfriend.

That Xu Yixue, she must be incredibly fortunate to have caught the eye of such an eligible bachelor like young master Qin, who even changed himself for her. Casually purchasing a necklace for tens of millions, and then buying it twice—once for himself and once for donation.

When did young master Qin become so kind-hearted?

Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning frowned as they watched Qin Haowen on stage, speaking smoothly but slowly contemplating in their hearts.

During her advanced studies in America, Xu Yixue had taken some psychology courses and thus was crystal clear about Qin Haowen’s current performance.

Even though Qin Haowen’s lines were delivered with flair, his gaze was evasive and his tone blunt. It seemed more like he had memorized a script rather than speaking from the heart. Despite his best efforts to dramatize, Xu Yixue spotted the flaws in his act.

Qin Haowen was still performing, trying to deceive her into accepting him by changing his persona. But did he really think Xu Yixue was so easy to fool?

“Yixue, deep down Qin Haowen is no good; you mustn’t be swayed by his sweet talk,” Ye Xiaoning cautioned Xu Yixue in a whisper, her eyebrows knit with concern.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I stopped believing men’s words a long time ago,” Xu Yixue replied with a confident smile curving her lips.

Qin Haowen on stage took the “Heart of the Ocean” necklace out of the box and then stepped towards Xu Yixue.

“Yixue, you are the most captivating woman I have ever met. That’s why I ultimately couldn’t bear to sell this ‘Heart of the Ocean’. It will only shine its brightest on you. Would I have the honor of putting it on you myself?” Qin Haowen stood before Xu Yixue, saying earnestly.

“Be together!” …

“Be together!” …

“Be together!” …

The onlookers, loving the drama, began egging Qin Haowen and Xu Yixue on. Of course, this was also arranged by Qin Haowen’s men.

A few people lead, and the rest of the crowd will surely follow in chanting together.

In the face of such a scene, Xu Yixue would have to consider not just Qin Haowen but also the pressure from the entire audience if she wanted to refuse. Qin Haowen let out a self-assured smile, thinking to himself, I refuse to believe that this won’t work against you, you phony, prudish bitch.

“Young master Qin, everything you’ve done has indeed moved me, but I’m sorry, I still have to reject you,” Xu Yixue said coldly as she stood up.

Ye Xiaoning also stood up with Xu Yixue, carefully protecting her, just in case Qin Haowen became desperate.

The entire audience was taken aback upon hearing Xu Yixue’s voice, before suddenly falling silent.

Qin Haowen’s face turned ashen in an instant.

He had not expected that, after all the meticulous preparation he had done, from organizing the auction to writing the script and even coming up with the symbolic price of 1314520, even the most stoic woman would be moved, but Xu Yixue, why did she still dare to reject him?

“Xu Yixue, don’t think you can reject a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!” Qin Haowen’s facial muscles twitched grotesquely, struggling to maintain his composure before so many spectators; as the young master of the Qin Family, it was very difficult for him to step down.

“Qin Haowen, whether it’s a toast or a penalty drink, we’re not drinking it,” Ye Xiaoning took a step forward, standing in front of Xu Yixue and said coldly to Qin Haowen.

Upon hearing this, Qin Haowen’s complexion changed repeatedly until he finally regained his composure several seconds later; his voice also returned to its usual steadiness as he slightly bowed to Xu Yixue and said in a very gentlemanly manner, “I’m sorry, Yixue, you know how I feel about you, so I lost my composure a bit. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“Young Master Qin, thank you for the money you donated to the children in the mountainous area. It’s getting late, and I still have matters to attend to at home, so I must leave now.” Xu Yixue finished speaking, and without waiting for Qin Haowen’s consent, she rose from her seat with Ye Xiaoning and slowly walked towards the exit of the hall.

Several seconds later, the graceful figures of the two women disappeared at the entrance of the hall.

In the hall, Qin Haowen, holding the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ worth thirteen million, had an uncontrollable fury on his face.

“Young Master Qin, don’t be angry. That Xu Yixue is obviously a woman who doesn’t know what’s good for her. Why not let me take the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ for a few days? I’ll make sure to take good care of you,” a second-tier actress from the Central Academy of Drama, Yang Xue, approached Qin Haowen coquettishly, her eyes fixed unwaveringly on the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ in Qin Haowen’s hand.

“Get lost, damn it. Do you think I need your advice on what to do!” Qin Haowen swung his hand and slapped Yang Xue, causing her to stagger and nearly fall to the ground.

“I’m sorry, Young Master, I was wrong,” Yang Xue covered her face, tears falling unrestrainedly.

Qin Haowen didn’t care about her, turning around angrily and leaving the Qingshi Mingyue Hall without looking back.

Just as Yang Xue covered her face, looking utterly clueless, a staff member had already approached her.

“Miss Yang, our Young Master Qin has asked you to wait for him in Room 888 on the 8th floor of the hotel later. If you don’t serve the young master well tonight, then you can forget about appearing in the entertainment industry again,” the staff member conveyed Qin Haowen’s message to Yang Xue.

Having been slapped, Yang Xue didn’t dare refuse; she covered her face and quickly nodded, then rose to retrieve her bag from her seat.

“Please continue, everyone. The auction may have ended, but the reception will continue until ten o’clock. You’re welcome to stay; the band will start performing soon,” the host said to the crowd below, but the audience was still noisy; after all, Qin Haowen’s grand gesture of pursuing a woman and being ruthlessly rejected had become the talk of Zhonghai City’s high society.

The banquet continued, but it had turned into a gossip session.

Qin Haowen stood on the rooftop of The Grand Qin Hotel, watching as Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning got into the BMW. Then, starting the car, they drove out of the hotel.

“Xu Yixue, I must have you,” Qin Haowen roared furiously, smashing the replica ‘Heart of the Ocean’ in his hand to pieces.

He really couldn’t bear to auction it; the entire auction was nothing but a play he had directed and acted in himself.
