At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Long punctually came to pick up Xia Qianxing at the banquet venue. Opening the car door, a handsome face as sharp as a knife came into view. Xia Qianxing was stunned for a moment; she didn't expect Xiao Yueze to come and pick her up.

Previously, Xiao Yueze only said that he would ask Zhang Long to meet her at the banquet venue, so Xia Qianxing thought that Xiao Yueze wouldn't be back this afternoon.

The moment he saw Xia Qianxing, a hint of amazement flashed across Xiao Yueze's eyes. He wore a long, lake-blue dress that wrapped around Xia Qianxing's graceful figure, fair and smooth snowy skin, and a delicate face with light makeup.

Xia Qianxing nervously sat in the car and shrunk into a corner, trying to stay as far away from Xiao Yueze as possible.

When she saw Xiao Yueze, her heart skipped a beat. He was dressed in a black suit that was made purely by hand, making his tall stature stand out even more. His handsome face didn't have the slightest hint of an allure, and even though he was just sitting there silently, his aura of a king made it impossible for anyone to ignore his existence.

Xia Qianxing looked out the window and quickly retreated, only leaving behind a blurry shadow. She leaned her head against the window and tried her best to block out the powerful Xiao Yueze.

"Sit here!"

A cold voice resounded in the silent car, breaking the silence in the room.

Xia Qianxing uneasily moved closer to Xiao Yueze, but it was only a few centimeters away.

Seeing that Xia Qianxing was deliberately avoiding him, Xiao Yueze's handsome face suddenly darkened. His expression turned malicious as he coldly looked at Xia Qianxing and said, "I'll say it again, come here!"

Xia Qianxing felt the change in Xiao Yueze's body, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly sat down next to Xiao Yueze, but still didn't touch him.

Ah ~

Xia Qianxing was pulled back by Xiao Yueze, and he threw himself into Xiao Yueze's arms. The faint smell of mint mixed with the scent of hormones assaulted his nostrils.

Xia Qianxing blushed and tried to push Xiao Yueze away, but Xiao Yueze seemed to have seen through her thoughts. His big hand only imprisoned Xia Qianxing's soft waist.

A sweet fragrance wafted into Xiao Yueze's nose. He lowered his head and leaned on Xia Qianxing's neck, taking a deep breath.

For the first time, Xiao Yueze found that the fragrance of this woman's body was irresistible. He just wanted to suck more of her scent.

Xia Qianxing propped up her chair with one hand and forcefully pushed Xiao Yueze with the other. His scorching aura sprayed onto her neck, tickling her to the point of being extremely uncomfortable.

After a long while, Xiao Yueze finally let go of Xia Qianxing, but his big hands still wrapped around her waist, not allowing her to escape.

"I'm so hot, can you let me go first?" Xia Qianxing bit her lips. She wasn't used to Xiao Yueze hugging her like this.

"Don't forget that you're my possession. Woman, you'd better behave." Xiao Yueze was dissatisfied with Xia Qianxing's protest, and his tone revealed a trace of coldness.

Xia Qianxing gave a self-deprecating smile, his eyes were filled with endless loneliness. No, she definitely wouldn't stay by Xiao Yueze's side for her entire life.

"What kind of expression is that?" Xiao Yueze's tone turned completely cold. His warm fingers pinched Xia Qianxing's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

Xia Qianxing felt as if her jaw was about to shatter. A pained expression appeared on her delicate, white face.

Seeing Xia Qianxing's pained expression, Xiao Yueze suddenly felt a trace of pity in his heart, followed by a sense of irritation.

Every time Xiao Yueze had feelings other than hatred towards Xia Qianxing, he began to feel unexplainable restlessness in his heart. Perhaps, in the bottom of his heart, as long as there were emotions other than hate towards Xia Qianxing, he would feel that he had done something to let Yan Ruoxue down.

Along the way, Xia Qianxing was carried by Xiao Yueze, and the tip of his nose was filled with Xiao Yueze's aura. Xia Qianxing didn't dare to move recklessly, fearing that his careless movements would arouse Xiao Yueze's displeasure.

"Shua ~"

The advanced car slowly stopped, Zhang Long quickly got off and went to open the car door for Xiao Yueze.

Xia Qianxing got out of the car and held Xiao Yueze's arm. Suddenly, a group of reporters saw Xiao Yueze get out of the car and rushed forward to take photos.

Xiao Yueze still had a cold expression, but he didn't stop the reporters.

The reporters slapped Xia Qianxing fiercely. Xiao Yueze had a new partner this time, but he didn't know which Miss Qian was.

At this moment, Zhang Hu, Zhang Bao, and two rows of bodyguards separated the reporters and made a path for Xiao Yueze.

Walking into the hall, Xia Qianxing was stupefied by the scene before her. The lavishly decorated hall was brimming with brilliant lights and resplendent gold. Her figure swayed as she tasted fine wine, flirted with beauties, or spoke in a low voice …

It was Xia Qianxing's first time coming to a banquet hosted by a rich person like Xiao Yueze. She was afraid that if she didn't do it well enough, it would make Xiao Yueze unhappy, so she was very careful.

"Nervous?" Xiao Yueze suddenly asked in a low voice. There was a hint of mockery in her tone. 'This woman can be scared for some time?'

"How is this possible? You're underestimating me too much! " Xia Qianxing retorted unhappily. However, the slight tremble on her fingertips still betrayed her current feelings.

"Director Xiao!"

Seeing Xiao Yueze walk into the hall, a few other company's CEOs walked over.

Xiao Yueze picked up two glasses of red wine from the waiter's tray, and handed one to Xia Qianxing.

"CEO Wu!"

Xiao Yueze clinked glasses with CEO Wu, and then started to chat about business matters. Xia Qianxing wasn't interested in this at all, but couldn't just walk away, so he could only listen to their conversation absentmindedly.

After CEO Wu left, quite a few company's CEO came over to toast Xiao Yueze. Seeing Xiao Yueze drink one cup after another, Xia Qianxing suddenly felt that Xiao Yueze's alcohol tolerance was really good. He drank so many cups but still didn't get drunk.

The bored Xia Qianxing looked around and suddenly felt several hostile gazes land on her. Xia Qianxing thought to himself, I've never offended anyone before. Why is it that so many people hate me all of a sudden?

Only when Xia Qianxing followed the gazes of the crowd and looked over, did he realize that those fierce gazes were shot by the ladies at the banquet. When Xia Qianxing looked over, he noticed that those fierce eyes were shot by the women at the banquet.

Xia Qianxing was puzzled at first. Why were those women jealous of her? Only when he saw some silly girls staring at Xiao Yueze, Xia Qianxing finally understood what was going on. It seemed like she had caused people to hate Xiao Yueze for no reason at all!

Xia Qianxing felt helpless. She also didn't want to come to this banquet, but Xiao Yueze insisted for her to come.
