"That was just a polite smile on her face, don't overthink it."
He Qinzhou explained.
"Politeness?"
"Let me tell you, He Qinzhou! Women understand women best. That look in her eyes was clearly... seducing you!"
When it came time to say the last three words, Lin Wan'er lowered her voice and whispered them in He Qinzhou's ear.
Are you really that insecure about yourself?
He Qinzhou looked at Lin Wan'er and asked a question.
"I……"
For a moment, Lin Wan'er was speechless, completely choked by He Qinzhou's words.
She looked aggrieved, yet unable to let it go.
In the end, all he could do was cross his arms and mutter, "Then you can forget about touching me for the next few days."
“Then I’ll go find her. I heard she’s from Japan, and I’ve recently become interested in Japanese languages, so it might be good for me to learn a foreign language.”
"Hey, no way!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er immediately became anxious, grabbed He Qinzhou's hand, and shook her head.
"No? You've already said it, how can you go back on your word?"
He Qinzhou frowned and questioned.
"I……"
Lin Wan'er's face immediately turned red.
"You said 'don't touch me,' and you also said 'it's not okay now.' I want to learn Japanese now, so what do you suggest we do?"
These words caused Lin Wan'er to feel conflicted, and she nervously rubbed her hands together as if she were making a decision.
Seeing this, the distance between He Qinzhou's brows gradually decreased.
He originally just wanted to tease Lin Wan'er, but why did it suddenly seem interesting?
Actually…actually…”
Lin Wan'er bit her pink lips, her expression very hesitant.
Under He Qinzhou's gaze, she still forced herself to say, "Actually, I can too."
"what can you do?"
He Qinzhou couldn't help but ask.
"Island language..."
After Lin Wan'er finished speaking, He Qinzhou's expression froze.
Vocals, this is so interesting!
"you sure?"
“When I was managing the Lin Group in Yangcheng, there were some projects in Japan, so I learned a little about it.”
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er slowly leaned close to He Qinzhou's ear.
With her pink lips slightly parted, she uttered a familiar phrase in Japanese in a voice barely audible.
In an instant, He Qinzhou felt a stirring in his DNA.
His expression also became serious...
He always felt that things weren't that simple.
Buy one get one free?
Chinese-Japanese bilingual?
He Qinzhou took a deep breath and made a major decision.
"We'll leave early later and go home early today. I want to study a foreign language."
"But...it seems like a lot of my sisters are at home today."
Lin Wan'er blushed, but secretly she was delighted.
Being able to firmly grasp the heart of the man she admires is something any woman can be proud of.
This is also true for her.
Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou seemed to be deep in thought.
"It's okay, we can just go back to our rooms. Qingqing and the others won't say anything."
On stage, He Qizheng got to the crucial part.
His gaze, however, involuntarily fell upon He Qinzhou.
At a time like this, the other person is still whispering in his ear with his female companion?
"He Qinzhou, I was going to try and save you some face, but since you don't even understand basic social etiquette and are just here trying to attract attention, then don't blame me!"
He Qi's gaze sharpened.
"As I said before, the He family's listing on the stock exchange is what everyone expects and it is also an inevitable trend!"
"I am also very happy to be able to speak on stage as a representative of the He family."
"The future of the Dragon Kingdom will surely belong to Kyoto, and the future of Kyoto belongs to all of us!"
"I, He Qi, am not only the representative of the He family now, but I will definitely be in the future!"
"I firmly believe that under my leadership, the He family will continue to live in peace and make progress together with everyone in the decades to come!"
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar.
This appears to be just one part of a speech.
But to discerning people, it's a declaration of their sovereignty!
Although the position of the He family heir has not yet been determined, He Qi is telling everyone that he is determined to take this position!
Everyone turned to look at He Qinzhou.
They were curious to see how He Qinzhou would react at this point.
But He Qinzhou seemed not to hear at all, and continued to whisper in Lin Wan'er's ear, making Lin Wan'er's face turn red.
To everyone else, this scene was rather tragic.
"I used to hear that He Qinzhou was not interested in women, had a tough hand, and had an incredibly high talent for business. He was very likely to become the most successful patriarch of the He family, but now it seems... sigh!"
"Since ancient times, even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman!"
"Seeing He Qinzhou like this now, I find it terrifying. Even such a promising young man has been ruined by a woman. It's such a pity."
“What’s there to regret? A powerful family like the He family should be led by a capable person. Since He Qinzhou has chosen to decline, his era should be over.”
"I wonder what Old Master He will think when he sees He Qinzhou like this. If he really hands over the position of family head to He Qinzhou, the He family will probably be finished!"
There was much discussion among the crowd.
People's perception of Heqin Prefecture has completely changed.
This once most outstanding young talent in Kyoto has been ruined.
Chapter 354: Only what I give you is truly yours.
"He Qinzhou, today is an important day for the He family. Would you please be mindful of your appearance?"
On the stage, He Qi's voice suddenly rang out.
What appears to be an accusation is actually an attempt to make He Qinzhou the target of public criticism.
In an instant, the He family members also began to discuss behind He Qinzhou's back.
Despite the gossip around him, He Qinzhou's expression remained unchanged, a calm smile still playing on his lips. He reached out and pulled Lin Wan'er into his arms.
In this situation, Lin Wan'er naturally wouldn't resist and would obediently cooperate.
Is there a problem with what I'm doing?
He Qinzhou spread his hands and looked up at He Qi.
Such contempt made He Qi grit his teeth, and anger surged within him.
He Qinzhou is always like this, aloof and arrogant.
Even though he was the one standing on the high platform, he had a strange feeling that He Qinzhou's figure was constantly rising until he could step on his head.
"Hmph, so you've given up entirely, haven't you?"
However, upon closer reflection, He Qi guessed He Qinzhou's state of mind at that moment.
He was a useless person, with no prestige whatsoever, and was treated coldly by everyone. How could he possibly remain calm?
Therefore, all of this must have been a deliberate act by He Qinzhou.
"A piece of trash is a piece of trash. All you have on your mind are those filthy things. You don't deserve to be a member of the He family!"
"I, He Qi, assure all the elders and brothers and sisters of the He family that the first thing I will do after becoming the head of the family is to expel He Qinzhou and uphold the reputation of the He family!"
"The He family, headed by me, He Qi, absolutely cannot tolerate such parasites who only know how to indulge in pleasure and whose minds are filled with lust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a response immediately came from below.
"it is good!"
"I've disliked him for a long time, and he's finally been taught a lesson!"
“I’ve finally waited for this day!”
"I support expelling He Qinzhou; the He family has no need for useless people!"
The young men of the He family cheered.
In their view, it was because of He Qinzhou's existence that they, his peers, remained unknown.
He Qinzhou alone stole the limelight from the entire younger generation of the He family!
Now that He Qinzhou has finally lost power, they are eager to take the opportunity to kick him while he's down.
The young women of the Kaga family had a complicated expression at this moment.
Although they are of the same clan, their bloodlines have become completely diluted because they started to branch out decades ago.
They all had a special feeling for He Qinzhou.
Even many younger people consider He Qinzhou to be their ideal partner.
It can be said that He Qinzhou fulfilled all their fantasies about men.
He is handsome and elegant, dressed in blue, and possesses extraordinary talent and ability.
Many of the young women in the He family even planned to confess their love to He Qinzhou when he returned from Yangcheng.
But unexpectedly, Lin Wan'er and a bunch of women appeared out of nowhere.
Many women can only keep their affections hidden deep in their hearts.
"He Qinzhou, what else do you have to say?"
He Qi stood on the stage, coldly looking at He Qinzhou.
But He Qinzhou remained calm and composed, and the slight upturn of his lips at the end was extremely jarring to He Qi.
Everyone looked at He Qinzhou, waiting for his response.
He Qinzhou, however, simply rose slowly, leaning on his cane, and quietly looked at He Qi.
"Remember this: in the He family, only what I give you is truly yours."
Upon hearing this, He Qi's pupils suddenly dilated.
Even now, He Qinzhou still maintains that aloof and superior attitude.
Where does his confidence come from?
How could he remain so calm and composed when facing the entire He family as an enemy?
