Ling Xiaosu must have thought too much about it. There were so many people at the airport, and he was wearing a tight suit. Everyone recognized him, but it was a good thing.

The first thing Ling Xiaosu did when she returned to A City was to go home and report in.

Ling An was overjoyed to see Ling Xiaosu return. After all, it was not easy to return only once every three months.

Ling An pulled Ling Xiaosu by the hand as he muttered, "Look at you, you've lost weight after a trip so far away from home. Next time, don't go so far, I'm worried you won't be able to sleep every night."

Ling Xiaosu smirked, put the suitcase aside and asked, "How's the business of the restaurant these three months? Is there anything wrong with it? "

Ling Xiaosu was most worried about the difficulties Ling An had faced during the past three months, and was afraid that Ling An would be tired from being too busy.

Ling An's eyes flashed. Smiling, he said, "Everything is fine!"

Ling Xiaosu accepted the letter. Without asking any further questions, she went upstairs to rest as there was still a ceremony to be held.

Seeing Ling Xiaosu walk down the stairs, Ling An patted his chest. He heaved a sigh of relief and frowned.

In fact, the business of the shop these days was not doing well. For some reason, the business of the shop was getting worse and worse. Sometimes, there were not even ten customers a day.

However, Ling An didn't dare to tell Ling Xiaosu in case she worried.

Although it was said to be an awards ceremony, in reality, it was just a gathering of famous artists and directors. There were often such parties, but one had to have certain conditions in order to enter.

Ling Xiaosu compared the clothes she was wearing to the gown she was wearing and decided that they were inappropriate. She threw them to the side dejectedly and put on a dress that revealed her back.

On the way to the party, Ouyang Ke had come to pick her up.

Ling Xiaosu tugged on her skirt and frowned, "This dress is really hard to wear. My back feels really cold."

It was already autumn in A City and the weather had turned chilly. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind would blow by, causing Ling Xiaosu to flinch. It was really too cold to be dressed like this.

Seeing that, Ouyang Ke took off his suit titan and gently put it on Ling Xiaosu, "It would be weird if you don't get cold while wearing it. Let's go, the party is about to start. We'll miss it if we continue chatting."

Ling Xiaosu touched her creepy arm, nodded, and got into Ouyang Ke's car.

The party said it was a party, but it wasn't.

Ling Xiaosu understood that if she were to meet a famous director or potential financial backer at a party like this, any artiste would be treated well in the future. However, a gathering like this one was not something that just anyone could enter.

When they reached their destination, Ling Xiaosu got off the car. Ouyang Ke nudged Ling Xiaosu with his strong and sturdy arm and raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ling Xiaosu, "Beautiful miss, I didn't bring a partner today. Are you willing to be my partner?"

Ling Xiaosu tried to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't help but say, "I'm willing."

Ouyang Ke smiled, and Ling Xiaosu held Ouyang Ke's arm as they entered the venue.

There were a lot of people attending the party, but they were all first-tier artists and directors. Second and third-tier artists were rarely seen. For some people, this was an opportunity that was not to be missed.

"Sigh, isn't that person Ling Xiaosu? Wasn't she the fiancée of the Converse? "Why did you come here with Ouyang Ke?"

"That's right, look at her holding Ouyang Ke's hand. Is she having an affair with him?"

"Impossible, there's so many potential customers. Ling Xiaosu is willing to give up such a great customer to be with someone else. Stop joking, alright!?"

Hearing the chattering of the others, Ling Xiaosu lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously grabbing onto Ouyang Ke's arm.

Ouyang Ke lowered his head to look at Ling Xiaosu's expression. Then, he glared at the person who was discussing earlier.

This circle had a lot of people and it was inevitable that some of them would use bad guesses to comment on others.

The few people who were stared at by Ouyang Ke did not dare to say anything, and could only shut their mouths and watch from the sidelines.

Ouyang Ke was satisfied. He patted the back of Ling Xiaosu's hand and comforted her, "This is a common occurrence. When I first came out, I also had to live with the rumors of others. You just have to pretend that you can't hear me."

Ling Xiaosu responded with an "En" that was barely audible. Of course she knew these rumors, it was just that they weren't serious right now.

"Oh, isn't this the famous Mr. Ouyang Ke Ouyang?" The two of them walked towards Yan Huyan who was standing opposite of them.

Ling Xiaosu frowned. It had been three months since she last saw Yan Xu Yan.

Yan Xu Yan noticed Ling Xiaosu's gaze and turned to her with a smile, "Xiaoxiao."

Ling Xiaosu turned her head away in disgust, ignoring the fawning look on Xu Yan's face.

Ouyang Ke noticed Ling Xiaosu's actions and greeted her in the same manner, "Mr. Yan, if there's nothing else, it's better for you to take care of your own matters. After all, there are a lot of famous people at this party."

Ouyang Ke's words were not revealing, but it could also be said that he was mocking Yan Xuyan.

Ouyang Ke had heard of this man before. Because he had been signed by the Chu Clan, he was immediately praised by the Chu Clan. Even after the Chu Clan's entertainment industry closed down, he was unaffected and became as popular as before.

Yan Huyan smiled politely, "How can those famous people compare with a great director like you, Mr. Ouyang? I'm only hugging your leg because I want to hug you, Mr. Ouyang."

Ouyang Ke's expression didn't change as he continued to smile. This person's skin was too thick!

Ling Xiaosu let go of Ouyang Ke's arm, looked up at him, and said, "I need to go to the washroom first. You guys can continue chatting." With that, Ling Xiaosu turned and walked away, not even sparing Yan Qianyin a glance.

Ling Xiaosu did not go to the washroom, but to a remote balcony on the second floor.

Earlier, Yan Qiuyan's undisguised gaze towards her caused her to feel a bit displeased. That was why she had told Ouyang Ke to "go to the washroom first", in order to avoid Yan Qiuyan's gaze.

The night breeze was a little chilly. Just as Ling Xiaosu closed her eyes, wanting to enjoy the wind, a person hugged her tightly.

Yan Xu Yan whispered into Ling Xiaosu's ear. "Xiaoxiao."

Ling Xiaosu abruptly opened his eyes, broke away from Huyan Huyan, turned around and looked at Yan Huyan, who was smiling gently at her, "What are you doing here?"

She clearly looked around to make sure that no one was coming before she decided to come over. When did Yan Qianyin appear here? Could it be … He followed her again?

Thinking of this possibility, Ling Xiaosu couldn't help but to be on her guard.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be like this. You're full of hostility towards me, so I'm very sad." Even though Yan Xu Yan had said this, there wasn't the slightest hint of sadness on his face.

Ling Xiaosu didn't want to waste words with him, so she just said, "This is a party. With so many people around, it would be best if you didn't do anything excessive."
