Li Xiran and Xi Qian (3)

"A date, huh?" The woman who was accompanying Mr. Fang gave Xi Qian a head to toe look. "Well, this is indeed new. When did this happen?"

Xi Qian wanted to sneer and tell the other woman that it wasn't any of her business, but she was forced to bite her inner cheek in an attempt to stop her remark. She didn't fail to see the flash of arrogance and mockery in the other woman's eyes.

"Just recently." Li Xiran answered, sensing Xi Qian's uneasiness with the other woman's question.

He was also irritated by the other woman's high pitched voice with a hint of ridicule, plus the way she was looking down on Xi Qian. It made sense to him why Xi Qian disliked attending occasions like this and he couldn't blame her for it.

"Now, now. You don't have to pressure the poor girl, Mari." Mr. Fang gently chastised his partner, his head turning to his right when he recognized someone.
