Chapter 535: Truly Domineering, Boyfriend Power Skyrockets
Three years have passed, and Yeats Howard, the Howard Family’s grandson, still hasn’t found a suitable match, becoming the most difficult and desirable bachelor in the social circle.
Ignatius Leclair’s face darkened instantly. Benjamin Leclair quickly pulled his hand back from his little backpack, looking at Daddy with big black eyes, while his soft pink lips pouted in displeasure as he said in a delicate voice, "Daddy, I thought you were too busy looking at the pretty ladies to notice me."
The little girl was timid and adorable. Her features were delicate and beautiful, dressed in a pink silk dress, sporting a short haircut, sitting gracefully on a chair like a lady—all while attending Daddy’s matchmaking banquet!
This little detail was one of the most entertaining topics in Imperial City. Rumor has it that Yeats Howard, the Howard Family’s grandson, is the ultimate doting dad, spoiling his four-year-old daughter to the heavens so much that even finding a partner requires his daughter’s approval. Thus, at every matchmaking banquet, this little princess is sure to make an appearance.
"Eat any more, and you’ll get a toothache." Ignatius Leclair said flatly.
Benjamin’s face instantly fell. His big, beautiful eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Daddy with grievance and said in his soft, sweet voice, "Then Benjamin won’t eat anymore."
As Benjamin spoke, he reluctantly fiddled with the sunflower-shaped little backpack he had brought with him. Inside were several lollipops, secretly stuffed in by Yeats Howard before they left the house.
Daddy is so mean. I hope he never finds a new Mommy.
"Miss Wu?" Ignatius Leclair shifted his gaze from beside his daughter to the socialite sitting across the table, asking leisurely.
"Mr. Leclair, my last name is Jin." Miss Jin repeated her surname for the third time that evening, her smile stiffening slightly.
The man narrowed his deep, almond-shaped eyes as he scanned Miss Jin from head to toe. A bit of a flirt, she seemed reasonably pleasing to the eye. Aside from being a little dull and silly, there weren’t any major flaws. She’d do—his grandmother had already arranged three matchmaking banquets for him this month, and he was growing impatient.
"How does Miss Jin feel about me?" His voice was low and lazy, carrying a hint of allure. His deep, almond-shaped eyes seemed capable of drawing people in, unfathomable like a bottomless well.
Miss Jin froze for a moment, nearly screaming aloud. Had she just caught the eye of this handsome and wealthy man? Oh my God, was she about to become the legend of the Imperial City socialite scene?
"Since Miss Jin is uninterested, let’s not waste each other’s time. I will arrange for a car to take Miss Jin home," Ignatius Leclair said, seeing her dazed look, with a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes.
"No, no! I feel very favorably about Mr. Leclair, very favorably," the woman said excitedly, stumbling over her words as she nervously swallowed.
Benjamin lowered his beautiful big eyes and let out a cold snort. So dumb—how could she become her new Mommy?
"Benjamin, what do you think, hmm?" The man turned toward his daughter.
Benjamin lifted her small, porcelain-like face and said sweetly in her soft voice, "She matches Daddy very well."
The man’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed dangerously, letting out a cold snort.
Meanwhile, Miss Jin was already beside herself with joy.
Benjamin sat boredly, fiddling with the pink silk ribbon on her beautiful little dress. She wanted a Mommy, but not one of those pretty ladies.
"Then when will we start dating? A one-on-one date?" Miss Jin asked shyly and timidly, glancing at the pretty little princess with her head lowered.
"I’ll have someone notify you." The man’s handsome and cold face no longer showed a hint of amusement. Even Benjamin was impatient now, let alone him.
So dominating, full of boyfriend energy. Miss Jin’s face turned bright red with embarrassment.
