Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon BaatTranstation
Shen Ru s gaze burned with intensity, akin to a hunter locking onto its prey.
However, her “prey” seemed entirely indifferent to her presence, instead, focusing on the white figure ahead. The initially cold expression on Shen Ru s face appeared to harbor additional emotions.
it was at this moment that Shen Ru noticed the sudden appearance of Shen Wan, who had successfully captured the attention of most of the people present, including… Quan Hanting.
Draped in pure white, which complemented her exquisite face, Shen Wan’s normally understated appearance took on a touch of pride. When she smiled, it felt like spring, and when she didn’t, it felt like a snow-covered mountain.
“Sister! Look at her…” Shen Yan was almost stomping in frustration. “How can someone be so shameless?!”
Her voice lacked softness, and her expression was far from flattering. Shen Ru s eyelid twitched as she leaned in and whispered, “We’re not at home, so please mind your manners and words!”
“Sister, aren’t you angry at ail?”
Shen Ru’s gaze darkened, and she gritted her teeth.
Meanwhile, Shen Wan gracefully descended the final two steps of the staircase, her golden high heels touching the ground as she stood with poise. The entire process was calm and composed, exuding a sense of restraint. Compared to Shen Ru’s elegance and Shen Van’s vivacity, she radiated an inherent nobility.
Cool but not aloof, subtle yet not dull.
Quan Hanting watched her, and his jet-black pupils flickered with alternating intensity.
The man’s gaze was undeniably invasive, making it difficult for Shen Wan to ignore. She glanced aside, and in rhe next moment, her eyes subtly flickered, her steps hesitated for a brief two seconds. Then, with a swift downward glance that concealed her astonishment and surprise, she raised her head again, appearing as composed as ever.
That man…
How could he appear here?!
“Wan Wan, come here.” Shen Chunjiang stood beside Quan Hanting, smiling and beckoning to her. Beyond the joy, there was a restrained urgency and excitement in his demeanor.
The young girl’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she was about to approach.
“Dad ” Shen Qian suddenly spoke, taking a step towards Shen Chunjiang. His gaze shifted to Quan Hanting. They locked eyes, and in the next moment, he calmly averted his gaze. His face remained unchanged, but turmoil roiled within him.
The man’s overpowering presence made it almost suffocating for those around him.
“Ah Qian, this is Sixth Lord. In terms of seniority, you should address him as Uncle .” Shen Chunjiang then turned to Quan Hanting, his smile carrying a touch of cautious flattery. “Sixth Lord, please forgive us. This is my son, Shen Qian.”
As these words were spoken, Quan Banting’s identity was confirmed, and the entire room buzzed with astonishment.
“Is that really him?”
T wonder what stroke of luck the Shen family stepped on.”
“I have never seen him before. I imagined he would be some old man in his fifties or sixties. 1 never expected him to be so young.”
“Shh, keep your voice down!”
II- II
Shen Chunjiang was delighted by the crowd’s reactions. The usually enigmatic Sixth Lord had never graced any other family or social gatherings with his presence. However, today, he graciously accepted their invitation.
“Ah Qian, what are you waiting for? Go and greet him!”
Shen Qian lowered his head and called out, “Sixth Uncle.”
The man responded with a slight nod but then shifted his gaze beyond Shen Qian, focusing on Shen Wan, who stood behind him.
Observing this, Shen Chunjiang swiftly understood the situation. From the moment he had arrived, this man had displayed a profound interest in Shen Wan. His undisguised scrutiny unveiled the most fundamental kind of curiosity and desire that a man could harbor for a woman.
“Wan Wan, come over to Daddy.”
There was no escape.
Shen Wan sighed softly and flashed a smile, instantly melting the icy aura.
“Ah Qian, go and show your welcome to the others,” Shen Chunjiang suggested. In reality, he wanted his son to move away, as he was like an awkward barrier standing between Shen Wan and the man. Shen Qian was usually quite perceptive, so why was he acting this way at a crucial moment?
Shen Qian gritted his teeth, his gaze wavering between Shen Chunjiang and Quan Hanting. One seemed eager to please, while the other appeared somewhat reluctant, yet it was evident to anyone observant what the Sixth Lord’s intentions were. But why did the Sixth Lord’s interest have to be in Shen Wan?
Not Shen Ru, not Shen Yan…
The thought took Shen Qian by surprise, even shocking himself. Had his half-sister, born from a different mother, become more significant to him than his two full-blooded sisters?
It was absurd!
With Shen Chunjiang continuously signaling him with his eyes, Shen Qian finally chose to step back, allowing himself to watch the graceful girl in the white dress move step by step towards the man.
Many years later, when he reminisced about this moment, he couldn’t help but wonder about a different scenario. What if he had been more determined back then, never stepping back? Would there have been fewer complications between her and Quan Hanting? Or maybe, they would have stayed strangers, simply passing each other by.
Regrettably, there were no “ifs”.
“Dad, did you call me?”
“Wan Wan, this is your Sixth Uncle. Address him.”
“Sixth Uncle.” The girl’s voice was like a gentle, melodious stream, pleasant to the ears, exuding a refreshing coolness.
Quan Banting’s gaze dimmed.
Behind him, Ling Yun couldn’t help bur twitch at the corner of his mouth, suddenly reminded of a popular online meme, which he playfully adapted

“The Shen family has clearly raised this daughter quite well.” This was the first thing Quan Hanting said upon entering, unlike how he had remained quiet when Shen Qian greeted him earlier. However, no matter how one interpreted it, it didn’t quite come across as appropriate.
How could a guest compliment the host’s daughter first before asking about the host’s well-being?
However, someone like Quan Hanting had already achieved an unattainable status in society. He was akin to a deity, and deities are infallible. So, what could be deemed as amiss was only….
