While they were talking, the four people had already walked over. The looks of their couple was truly envious of them, but Lin Nuo still felt that it was a little ironic, and more eye-catching.

Lin Nuo and Laan Silu stood up in succession. Laan Silu slightly smiled, and before he could speak, Lin Jinxue was the first to speak, saying, "Director Laan, little sister, why did you hide in this corner? If I didn't look around, I would have thought you all hadn't come."

"Nuo likes peace and quiet, I am afraid it will disturb everyone's mood." Laan Silu responded gracefully, but his gaze landed on Qiao Shenyu as he raised the red wine in his hand. "I am also very flattered that the two young masters of Qiao Family were attracted to this gathering."

There was nothing wrong with his words, but Qiao Shenyu did not hold any position in any of the companies under Blue Ocean Group right now, so what Laan Silu meant by was that, why would Qiao Shenyu be here?

He still remembered that scene when he coincidentally met Qiao Shenyu in the restaurant's lobby. Qiao Shenyu was like a god as he helped Lin Nuo block that slap, and then Qiao Shenyu, who had a high opinion of others, actually spoke a few words of Lin Nuo. Their relationship was extremely close, and his concern for Lin Nuo in the hospital had caused Laan Silu to feel an unprecedented sense of danger.

Qiao Shenyu did not say anything. Instead, Lin Jinxue moved even closer to Qiao Shenyu and offered to help him, "It is possible that Director Laan does not know that I invited you."

This form of address could be said to be intimate, but when it was heard, it sounded like a warning to the silent Lin Nuo not to wishful thinking, she had already announced her authority.

"So that's how it is. I was presumptuous of you then." Laan Silu raised his cup again, and added, "But I have to say, Deputy Chief Lin and Mr Qiao standing together is truly a match made in heaven."

These words could be considered as speaking right into Lin Jinxue's heart, but she had spoken to the point where she didn't dare to respond. If it really came to Qiao Shenyu's bottom line, she would be the only one to lose face, Lin Jinxue wasn't that stupid, being silent was the best choice.

But when Qiao Shenyu opened his mouth, his gaze slowly swept across Lin Nuo's face and landed on it in the end. He said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Director Laan and Miss Lin standing together are also a match made in heaven."

"Is that so?" Laan Silu looked pleasantly surprised, and then said, "I was afraid that I wasn't good enough, and wasn't worthy of Nuo."

Nuo? Qiao Shenyu remembered that this was the first time he heard Laan Silu call Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo was a little speechless, but she could hear the deliberate intent behind Qiao Shenyu's words. Fortunately, Laan Silu knew her character and did not put too much thought into what she was saying, and instead explained: "However, I am still pursuing Nuo, if I were to succeed one day, I will definitely extend an invitation card to all of you."

"I never thought that Miss Lin would be so popular." Qiao Shenyu laughed, "I remember that not long ago, someone held a pigeon egg and proposed to you outside Vast Group, it was so romantic."

Hearing that, Lin Nuo looked at him, and could clearly see the smile on his face.

He clearly knew that she had exposed Chen Xinghui's identity previously, but he still mocked her about Chen Xinghui's proposal. He was still as vicious as when he first met her.

"Hah, Mr Qiao might be talking about that Chen Xinghui. Actually, I understand very clearly that it was only because Nuo rejected me that I agreed to interact with him. But I won't give up, at least I will let Nuo see my sincerity." "If you like someone, you have to give her absolute trust. I have known Nuo for almost five years, I know her character better than anyone else."

"Hur hur." Qiao Shenyu inexplicably laughed out, "So Director Laan is actually a rare kind of infatuation, I, Qiao however, am quite impressed."

"My apologies to Mr Qiao." Laan Silu nodded, then changed the topic, "Nuo's face is thin, let's not talk about her anymore. This is not good."

Qiao Liancheng praised Laan Silu as he spoke, "Director Laan is truly merciful towards the fairer sex."

"Why not?" "Sister, don't be stubborn anymore. Look at Director Laan, your family background is good and innocent, and I have a deep affection for you, such a good man should grasp the opportunity, you're not young anymore, and being alone is not good, how about tomorrow, we go back to Lin Family to discuss your marriage with Director Laan?"

Hearing these words, Lin Nuo still did not respond. Qiao Shenyu, who had just sat down, slightly frowned, as a trace of anger floated into his eyes.

Tomorrow, Lin Nuo will return to the Lin Family, and Laan Silu will follow? Go back to your parents' house in pairs to meet your elders?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Lin Nuo say: "I'm used to this, and temporarily don't consider marriage matters. I appreciate my cousin's and uncle's good intentions, and hope that in the future, my cousin won't tease me and Director Laan anymore. This will be bad for my Director Laan's reputation, and it won't be fair to my Director Laan as well."

This kind of speech was a reminder to Lin Jinxue, but hearing it in Qiao Shenyu's ears, it felt extremely similar to her explanation, so the man's twisted eyebrows relaxed.

Lin Jinxue was choked for a bit, her face looked a little ugly, but she had no choice but to continue to laugh: "Look at what you have to say, we are all women, who wouldn't wish to marry a man that cherishes themselves."

After saying that, Lin Jinxue looked at Qiao Shenyu with deep affection in her eyes, as well as boundless anticipation. Unfortunately, Qiao Shenyu had not raised his eyebrows the entire time, let alone given her any words of response.

Furthermore, Lin Nuo also replied him without giving him any face: "My wish isn't that complicated, it's just working hard and getting rich overnight."

Lin Jinxue, "..."

Qiao Shenyu, "..."

Laan Silu, "..."

Qiao Liancheng couldn't help but curl his lips, while Huang Yueya spoke out: "Miss Lin, if you marry Director Laan, wouldn't you also become rich overnight?"

"If it isn't wealth created by oneself, then it can't be considered wealth." Lin Nuo indifferently replied. It was truly tactful and tricky, causing the topic to fall into a dead end.

Qiao Liancheng was not afraid to make things big and followed: "Miss Lin is indeed a strong woman. I wonder what kind of man will enter your eyes?"

It sounded like a sentence that was as light as the clouds, but it caused the atmosphere to become strange and awkward.

Lin Jinxue wanted to let Qiao Shenyu see Lin Nuo and him together, and also swore an oath to tell Lin Nuo to give up on pestering Qiao Shenyu. Laan Silu also wanted to prove that there was no other relationship between Lin Nuo and Qiao Shenyu, while Qiao Lian Cheng purposely made the atmosphere more awkward, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He liked to see Qiao Shenyu clearly angry but pretended to be calm and indifferent.

Lin Nuo had never liked such a scene, so she did not say a word in the awkward conversation, treating herself like an outsider, drinking her own plain water, and was not interested in the conversations of the people around her.

Very quickly, she finished her cup of water, her lower abdomen had a twisted pain, Lin Nuo called for the waiter and asked for another cup of plain water, upon seeing that, Qiao Shenyu took out her phone and sent a message.
