Chapter 1013: Chapter 985: The Special Woman Who Captivated the Entire Room!_2
```
"These sons of wealthy families, one more concerned about face than the next, none of them are as carefree in their dress as he is."
Qin Lan shook her head.
"Haven't I told you before, sister? Only truly confident men can be like this."
"They don't rely on external factors to attract others but showcase their true inner selves."
"Give me a break."
The young beauty in the pink dress and skin-colored stockings shook her head.
"With his physique and looks, even if he dresses like a beggar, it seems no one would dare say his external image is bad."
"He's just too handsome."
She lifted her glass, and with open red lips, gulped down a big mouthful of cocktail.
Not elegant at all.
She sighed deeply.
"Ah—"
"Why the sigh?" Qin Lan asked with a smile.
Jia Lan said dejectedly:
"It's a pity."
"This is the first time in years that I've seen a young guy who caught my eye, and I actually wanted to go over and strike up a conversation."
"I thought my first attempt at flirting was about to happen, but it was like the untimely demise of an unfinished reign."
Qin Lan patted her silky-stocking-covered leg.
"If you have the idea, then go for it boldly."
"Didn't you see that he doesn't even have a female companion at his side? Maybe he's keeping the spot just for you."
"Give me a break."
Jia Lan shook her head repeatedly.
"Didn't you see that guy has already turned down four women? I still have some pride left, okay? With so many people here, if I get rejected, I'd be so embarrassed I could die."
"It's different."
Qin Lan shook her head, crossing her long legs wrapped in black stockings, tilting her high heels up, and creating an arch with the insoles wrapped in the black silk.
"The few of them look too worldly, I guess he has figured them out."
"You never had a boyfriend before. In terms of looks and temperament, aren't you much better than those four?"
"I'm scared, I won't go!" Jia Lan shook her head continuously.
Gazing in the direction of the handsome young man, her heart cried out in regret.
If only he were neither rich nor powerful, she could go up and talk to him boldly and casually.
But now the sense of distance was too strong.
It was too easy to be suspected of having ulterior motives.
"Are you sure you won't go?" Qin Lan asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Jia Lan bit her reddened lips and finally nodded reluctantly.
"I won't go."
"Let's drink a bit more, go to sleep, and tomorrow is a new day."
"Really not going?" Qin Lan asked again.
Jia Lan shook her head.
"Sister, although we graduated from prestigious universities and got decent jobs after entering society, compared to these young masters, the gap is just too big; we don't have much to brag about."
"There would be no future even if I went."
Qin Lan was taken aback and laughed in amazement.
"You girl, it's just about getting to know someone and making a friend. Why does it sound like you've already planned out having several kids with him?"
"Cut it out—" Jia Lan's face flushed, "I... I did not..."
"Giggle."
Qin Lan said smilingly, "Alright, sister knows you're a sucker for looks, seeing such a handsome guy has probably made your legs go weak."
"Don't talk nonsense! I care about temperament too, okay? Some guys look good but are so ostentatious, I don't even bother giving them a second glance," Jia Lan retorted.
"It seems... just now, he too looked like a nouveau riche flaunting his wealth everywhere."
Jia Lan, unable to come up with a retort, helplessly admitted the truth.
"I can't help it, he's too handsome, so handsome it reaches deep into my bones. Compared to him, the faces of other men are just dregs."
"Then you should hurry up and make contact, see if there's a chance," Qin Lan urged.
"I won't, I have my dignity," Jia Lan shook her head.
"Fine."
Qin Lan breathed out a sigh of relief, nodded, smoothed her skirt, and with a slight lift of her toe, slipped her high heel back on with the black silk-covered toe and put her weight on it.
Her body was statuesque and curvy.
The black silk business attire that snugly wrapped her body stood out as somewhat incongruous amid the surrounding revealing outfits.
She walked out.
Jia Lan's expression changed.
"Sister Lan, where are you going?"
Qin Lan turned her head, her hair lightly fluttering.
```
A hint of a smile that was both pure and longing appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"If you're not going, Sister's going to go."
"Not going means you'll never have the chance, once you miss it, it's missed, and you might regret it to death in the future."
"Go, even if there's a ninety percent chance of being rejected, there's always that ten percent chance of success, right?"
After finishing, Qin Lan twisted her body and decisively walked in the direction of the handsome young man sitting alone.
Jia Lan with the Beautiful Eyes was slightly stunned.
Watching Qin Lan's retreating figure and her resolute steps, Jia Lan suddenly felt a different emotion stirring within her.
She bit her lower lip and took a big gulp of the wine from her glass, emptying it.
It wasn't enough.
She grabbed Qin Lan's wine glass.
Glug glug!
It quickly hit bottom, all emptied.
She wiped her mouth with her soft, delicate hand.
Her silky legs shimmered as she straightened up her skirt and quickened her pace from behind, chasing after Qin Lan.
Luo Yu watched this group of people shaking their heads and moving to the music, initially finding it somewhat interesting, but quickly lost interest.
Just about to get up and leave.
He suddenly heard the sound of footsteps growing louder and clearer amidst the thumping bass and the music, drawing closer.
He turned his head.
He saw a professional-looking woman in black stockings with the air of a strong urban woman, with shoulder-length hair that was neat to perfection, her cheeks flushed, walking towards him.
He kept quiet, just quietly observing.
The aura exuding from the woman gave him a very clean feeling, certainly not like some of the women at the scene, who were heavy with vulgarity.
Luo Yu very much trusted his own judgment of character.
"Thump—"
The professional woman in black stockings with a rich, mature and capable aura stood still in front of Luo Yu.
She boldly extended her hand, without a hint of awkwardness.
"My name is Qin Lan, I've been watching you for a while and I find you very interesting. How about we become friends?"
This scene made all the other men and women who were surreptitiously watching hold their breath subconsciously.
They inwardly praised the woman's courage.
The four before her had all been ruthlessly rejected; did she also want to have her warm face coolly snubbed, wasn't her bravery a bit too much?
Qin Lan obviously did not care about these things; she had always been determined and capable, from high school to university and then in starting her own business.
Whatever she wanted to do, she would boldly go ahead and do it.
As long as she acted, she would have no regrets even if it ended in failure.
Just when everyone thought this naive woman was also about to be rejected, the aloof and handsome man extended his right hand and lightly grasped hers.
"Okay."
This turn of events surprised the onlookers, including Qin Lan herself.
She had thought this cool gentleman really was too high and mighty for the mundane world; she had actually been prepared to be rejected.
She hadn't expected, not at all, that he would agree, that he'd say okay to her.
Qin Lan had always been confident, whether in her external conditions or her personal efforts.
But faced with such an impeccably attractive man with a noble air and a terrifying family background, the gap was simply too big.
She really didn't have that solid confidence.
"Can I do it too?"
"Tap tap tap—"
With a clear sound, Jia Lan, the girl in the pink mini-skirt and silky stockings, ran over as well.
But having just downed several large sips of liquor, she was already a bit dizzy, and now wearing thin high heels, she stumbled as she ran.
In the midst of speaking, she fell headlong towards him.
Luo Yu's eyes flashed; he immediately judged that she definitely wasn't one of those scheming women with an ulterior motive.
He stepped forward.
Moving slightly past Qin Lan, he reached out and caught Jia Lan as she was about to hit the ground.
However, what he did not expect was the force of her forward momentum was great, and holding the pink-skirted beauty, he was pushed backward four steps.
Yet his other hand was still holding Qin Lan's and he hadn't had time to let go.
With a pull,
Qin Lan too lost her balance, her face flushed from the alcohol, and she followed into his embrace.
When Luo Yu finally steadied himself, he had two beauties in his arms.
Two distinctly different scents mixed with the smell of alcohol rushed over him, the soft and mellow touch stimulating his brain.
Just then, the music abruptly stopped.
"Tap tap—"
Again came the sound of high heels.
"Clap clap clap—"
The sound of applause came from afar, and everyone suddenly focussed their attention on it; a graceful figure was descending the stairs from above.
