On this occasion, Black Peony was the only one who called him Black Emperor. Both Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan turned their heads to look at this coquettish woman.
Black Peony had always felt that she was always successful among men. Tonight, when she attended the banquet, Yan Kuan’s arrival was definitely a surprise. She had already had different thoughts toward Yan Kuan. It was just that this man was too powerful and too difficult to approach, so she tried to approach him several times, but she could only endure it.
Black Peony’s daughter, Anna, followed behind Black Peony. She was wearing a tight-fitting strapless short skirt that was as red as fire. Her good figure was fully exposed, and her makeup was extremely gorgeous and mature. She did not look like a 19-year-old girl at all.
Her relationship with Black Peony was obviously not good. Her face was full of unruliness, and she did not hide it even in such an occasion.
Black Peony greeted Yan Kuan. Anna said with a strange tone from behind, “His wife is here too. Why are you only greeting men? Is there anything wrong with your eyes? You haven’t even gone through menopause yet, and your eyesight is already deteriorating like this?”
Anna’s words made Black Peony’s face sink. This daughter of hers was really sent by the heavens to defeat her. She was giving her a hard time regardless of the occasion, especially now. She did not even look at who the person in front of her was.
Anna’s actions made Shen Xiaoxiao extremely satisfied. Of course, she was satisfied. How could she not be satisfied watching the mother and daughter fight in the arena? If it was someone else, perhaps she would say that this mother and daughter’s relationship wasn’t good and that it was really pitiful. But the two of them, well, they deserved it.
This Black Peony thought she was some sort of character. Seeing a man, she wanted to pounce on him. Yan Kuan didn’t even want to look at this woman. He pulled Shen Xiaoxiao and left. It was a mess. If this woman dared to come over again… It would be a light punishment to throw her out directly.
“Yan Kuan, why do those women still think you’re hot when you have no money?”
“Hahaha, my dear wife, it’s because I still have you.”
“Shut up. Let’s go. I’m annoyed by these flies.”
Shen Xiaoxiao still remembered that Black Peony in her previous life was killed by Anna in the end. She just didn’t know what exactly happened. How did this mother and daughter pair get to this point? Although she didn’t want to pity Black Peony… But Anna’s true nature still made Shen Xiaoxiao feel that it was rare.
“Do you know who that is? You came out to destroy the stage?”
“I don’t care who he is. I just know that he has a wife. You’re so old, and you don’t look that good. Aren’t you too confident that you can take down any man? I’m begging you to do less evil and save some morals for yourself. If they have a family, you can touch them too. If they’re young, you can touch them too. If they’re old, you can touch them too. Tell me, why are you so shameless? I really don’t want to admit that I have a mother like you.”
“D*mn girl, if you don’t want to admit that you have a mother like me, you still need my money. If you have the ability, then don’t use it.”
“Why shouldn’t I use it? If I don’t use it, then why should I give it to other men to help me use it? I’m not stupid. Let me tell you, I’m your only heir. If you dare to use my money to support those men, then I won’t be done with you.”
After Anna finished speaking, she left angrily with her wine glass in her hand. It was as if she was really here to cause trouble. When Shen Xiaoxiao heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, she estimated that such an argument had already happened more than ten times. Those words… She was surprised when she heard that, but Black Peony did not have any reaction. It seemed that it was not wrong to say that Anna had a true temperament.
“These two mother and daughter, they have a grudge against each other in their previous lives, right?”
“No, no, no, Xiaoxiao, I think that girl is very cute.”
Edward said this to Shen Xiaoxiao at the side. Only then did Shen Xiaoxiao realize that Edward had been following behind them all this time. However, it was normal for foreigners to think that such a girl was cute. She had a straightforward personality and did not try to hide it. In fact, even Shen Xiaoxiao had a good impression of Anna.
“Did I say that you can call her Xiaoxiao?” Yan Kuan did not know what was wrong with him. Hearing Edward call Shen Xiaoxiao just Xiaoxiao made him feel uncomfortable. If he was uncomfortable, he naturally wanted to make Edward uncomfortable.
However, it was obvious that these two were used to arguing, so Edward was not afraid of Yan Kuan’s angry glare at this time. Instead, he said with a cheeky smile,”Why can’t I call her? I have to call her. You’re so dictatorial. Be careful that Xiaoxiao can’t stand you. Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, this little girl must have such a genuine temperament. Otherwise, she would be so tired of living. Look at those ladies from big families. Yes, that’s those ladies. Sigh, even a foreigner like me knows how tired they are pretending to be something they’re not.”
Edward was talking about Wu Xueying. At this moment, Wu Xueying was standing at the side holding a glass of wine and being chased by seven or eight young men. She was wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind, and she was not smiling. She stood there coldly. On the contrary, it made people feel that she was unattainable, and that she was cold and elegant.
However, if Wu Xueying did not keep looking at them, this costume would have been even more successful.
“Aiya, Xiaoxiao, look, Wu Xueying is looking at Yan. Hahaha, Yan, you are indeed very popular. You are already married, but there are still so many women who are crazy about you. In the past, when I was standing with you, they could not see me. Now, I did not expect your wife to be there, and they cannot see her either.”
Edward’s words had exposed Yan Kuan’s bottom line. He was so angry that he narrowed his eyes and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile that seemed particularly creepy. Often, the more he was in a bad mood, the brighter his smile would be. Edward wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Yan Kuan’s appearance in the blink of an eye, he was so frightened that he said to Shen Xiaoxiao:
“Well, I met a friend. Xiaoxiao, let me go over and say hello first.”
After saying that, Edward turned around and left. His speed was as if there was something chasing him from behind.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao had already heard Edward’s words. When she saw that he had suddenly left, she turned her head and looked at Yan Kuan with a playful expression.
“Oh, so you have a history. No wonder you’re so powerful. It seems that I’ve underestimated you.”
“I’m very innocent.”
“I remember some people saying that I’m your first and only woman. I don’t know if it’s true.”
Yan Kuan pulled her into his arms and asked, “Little thing, what do you mean by this? You don’t believe me?”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I’m just curious. How can you be so skilled for the first time? Some people back then had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.”
“I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve now. Do you want to try it again tonight? Doesn’t Xiaoxiao know that men are born with this aspect?”
“B*stard.”
Hearing this, Yan Kuan slowly leaned over and whispered into Shen Xiaoxiao’s ear, “Xiaoxiao, are you seducing me? Don’t you know that every time I hear you say this, I get really excited?”
“You b*stard — Get lost!”
“Hahaha, Xiaoxiao, you’re getting cuter and cuter.”
The two of them were chatting happily, but to Wu Xueying, who was walking toward them, it looked extremely glaring. She even muttered, “You don’t know shame. You’re from a small family, and you don’t care about the occasion to seduce men.”
However, her muttering was not soft. Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao turned their heads to look at the same time…
