His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 956 - Exposing The Mysterious Background (16)

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 lackl.u.s.tre.

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 relations.h.i.+p 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 compet.i.tion.

But if Qianxun did not feel the way she had a.s.sumed and there was no compet.i.tion 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 gla.s.ses 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 gla.s.s.
