Chapter 444: What to Fear
The man in a black suit, with striking features, held a young girl in a white dress that resembled an elf.
As they walked into the banquet hall together, they became an unmissable presence.
Everyone’s gaze turned to them, filled with amazement and shock.
When they saw Yun Qiluo, their looks grew more complex.
Mr. Yan had actually brought a female companion.
There were rumors that he had always kept a woman by his side, and when she was kidnapped, he was the first to rescue her.
The Huang Family had even suffered because of that incident.
They had never seen the rumored girl by his side and had thought it was just gossip.
Nobody expected it to be true.
The banquet hall was instantly filled with various gazes directed at Yun Qiluo.
Amazed, curious, probing, and full of meaning.
In short, they were extremely curious about the girl who received such special attention from the ever-distant Yan Yan.
Yun Qiluo originally thought it was a lively place where she could eat and chat.
From the entrance, it seemed lively indeed, but once she entered, everyone gradually quieted down and focused on her and the beautiful woman.
She couldn’t help feeling a bit lost, gripping the man’s arm tightly.
Yan Yan paid no mind to his wrinkled sleeve from her grasp but gently took her small hand and held it firmly.
Seeing her cling to him nervously, a slight curve appeared on his thin lips.
He spoke lazily in a low voice, "What’s to fear?"
Yun Qiluo whispered, "Why are they all looking at me?"
The man raised an eyebrow, "Don’t like being looked at?"
Yun Qiluo nodded, "Yes."
How could she go and eat later on?
With so many eyes watching, she was embarrassed to eat.
What if she ate too much, got noticed, and was kicked out?
If the banquet organizers knew what she was thinking, they would probably want to kneel down to her!
Who would dare to drive away Yan Yan’s woman?
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan lazily lifted his gaze, scanning the room with a faint glance.
Everyone in the banquet hall quickly averted their eyes instinctively.
They didn’t dare to openly stare anymore, though some continued to steal glances at her.
After all, the scene just now was simply too shocking in their eyes.
Especially Yan Yan’s gentle demeanor and lazy smile when interacting with Yun Qiluo...
Was this still the Fifth Young Master they knew, who was famously indifferent and cold-hearted?
Yun Qiluo, held by Yan Yan, followed him deeper into the hall.
She curiously examined the lavishly decorated banquet hall and the expensively dressed guests.
And the food and drinks they held in their hands.
She looked around the banquet hall for a while before spotting two long, luxurious tables covered with flowers and tableware, although no food had been served yet.
She felt a bit disappointed.
But fortunately, nearby there was another long table with all kinds of desserts, gourmet foods, and drinks available for guests to take freely.
Seeing the food, Yun Qiluo’s eyes lit up slightly, feeling much more at ease.
She was beginning to think that the banquets on TV were deceptive!
Yan Yan noticed her little eyes wandering elsewhere and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
But for now, he couldn’t let her wander off too quickly; since he brought her here, he had to introduce her to others first.
