"Actually, I have someone I like." "Although she is no longer here, I have always had her in my heart. I …"
Lu Chenxin nodded, "I know."
"So I …"
"I won't force you," Lu Chengxin smiled magnanimously, "It's my business to like you." If you can respond, that would be for the best. If you really can't fall in love with me, I won't force you. "
Once Lu Hengxin said this, Chen Dongdong didn't know how to respond. He took a few muffled bites of the steak, then looked up at the stage in the middle of the dance floor.
There was a girl playing a zither, quietly, as if she was isolated from all sound, and she was immersed in the music.
She was very tall and well-proportioned. Her light chestnut hair looked very pretty under the lighting, which made people's hearts beat uncontrollably.
The aura of youth was hard to forget. Chen Dongfang slowly furrowed his brows, as if he had seen it somewhere before …
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lu Hengxin called out to him. "Don't tell me you're infatuated with a girl?"
Lu Hengxin was just joking around, but to his surprise, Chen Dongdong nodded his head seriously.
"That girl, I think I know her …"
Lu Hengxin looked at the stage and saw that the girl was indeed quite attractive.
Although he was in the middle of the stage, he wasn't exaggerating at all. She wore a light apricot pink dress and a pair of bare high heels, but her entire body emitted an extremely gentle light. She instantly became the main character on the stage.
Lu Hengxin looked at it and suddenly felt that something wasn't right. He turned his head to look at Chen Dongfang and saw him looking at the stage with rapt attention. "You …"
"It's very similar to her …" If she was still alive, it would be something like that.
Thinking of this, his gaze became a bit hotter.
Lu Hengxin couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. Did he like that woman on the stage?
After the girl on stage finished playing the piano, Chen Dongdong stood up and walked towards her. The surrounding people didn't seem to notice that someone was performing. They were all paying attention to their own matters. It was only when Chen got up and walked over to her that they realized there was a woman on the stage.
"Do I know you?"
Chen Dongfang had never understood euphemism, and had a question in his mind, so he went up to ask.
The girl doubtfully looked at Chen Xiangdong, then carefully looked at it again, her eyes slowly gained some spirit, "You are …" "Brother Dong?"
Chen Dongdong's eyes slowly lit up. "What do you think?"
Think, Lin thought, of being his wife's only sister.
Lin thought of the tears that filled his eyes the moment he heard him call him that, and before they could fall, he stood up, threw himself into Chen's arms, and began to cry.
Chen Dongfang could not describe the pain he was feeling. He hugged Lin Xin as he thought about it. For a moment, he could not help but feel sad.
Lu Hengxin just watched. He wasn't sure if he should go up and pull them apart or just stand there and wait until they decided to split up.
Until the end of the meal, Lu Hengxin had been a bystander. He looked at Chen Dongdong and Lin, trying to think of some topic that she didn't understand. This included their past, as well as the occasional family members.
In the evening, Chen took Lin back home, but Lu Hengxin went home by himself.
Lu Hengxin felt wronged, but when he thought of the relationship between Lin and Chen Dongdong, he felt slightly more at ease. After comforting himself so much, Lu Yuxin finally fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, Chen Dong had already sent her a string of apologetic text messages.
Chu Xin Xia and Lu Xu Qian's relationship seemed to be going smoothly, with no one doubting or refuting. To be precise, no one knew of their relationship.
Lu Xu had asked Chu Xin to go to sea during the weekend. She had thought that it was an ordinary date, but she had not expected that it was a gathering of many people upon board the ship.
A group of red men and women were chatting on the deck while carrying a variety of drinks. Meanwhile, Lu Xunqian, who was wearing a black tailcoat, stood on the deck and waved at Chu Xinxia.
Isn't it our party?" Chu Xinxia was a little disappointed and a little panicked. She looked at the group of people on the boat and then thought about how she had brought them all here. She could not help but feel a little discouraged.
"Don't worry, since I called you over, of course I've already prepared it for you." Lu Xu kissed Chu Xinxia on the forehead, "Bring this young miss to change."
The servant came over and led the way to the cabin.
Chu Xinxia had initially been very worried, but seeing that Lu Xunqian was already prepared, she felt slightly more at ease. He hugged him and followed the servant.
Who is that woman?" Qiao Yi was a friend that Lu Xunqian had met in England. Seeing that Lu Xunqian had a woman by his side, she came over in a gossipy manner, "Qian, don't tell me you already have a girlfriend?
Lu Xunqian smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head, "Such gossips. You're actually even beginning to be curious about my news now?"
"Qian, when you were in England back then, you were the one and only Prince Charming in the hearts of thousands of beautiful girls." Joey looked at Lu Xunqian jokingly, sizing him up, "You know, you didn't even have a girlfriend in school all those years ago, and this hurt a lot of people's hearts."
"Don't make such a joke. Do you want all female alumni 'boyfriends and husbands to treat me as an enemy?" Lu Xu Qian frowned slightly, looking as though he was truly troubled.
Joey looked at it for a moment, then threw his drink into the sea and pounced on it!
"Qian, Qian!" "Be my boyfriend, please be my boyfriend!"
Lu Xu Qian hugged her helplessly, preventing both of them from getting into the golden ocean, "Stop messing around, everyone's watching."
Only then did Joey let him go, putting his arm around Lu Xu's waist, "To be honest, there's quite a few people in our department who want to interview you right now. How about it? Do you want to show yourself?"
Lu Xunqian shook his head, looking at the sea surface with a slight smile, "This identity is already enough, why do we need those complicated things?"
"Hey hey, it's obviously you!" Joey looked somewhat unhappily at Lu Xunqian, "You started trading futures and controlled the stock market when you were still in school. Don't think that I don't know about that. Many exchanges from the United States to the United Kingdom are all yours now, right? As a major shareholder behind the scenes, you still call Mr. L. Do you really think those people in the economic magazines are idiots? "
"Not stupid, but at least not smart. Otherwise, why didn't you know it was me after so many years? " Joey knew who he was from the start, so he never tried to hide it. Although on the surface he was the heir to the Lu family, and was of a second generation in the country, on the international scene, he had an even more prominent position and name.
The Times, the Global Times and the New York Times competed to interview Mr. L!
"Who told you to have so many messed up eyes and ears over there. It's the American district agent and also the spokesperson for Asia." Joey couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the past.
When the two of them reached a funny point, they couldn't help chuckling to themselves. Gradually, the crowd quietened down and looked at the two people on the deck.
Joey has always been a school basketball darling, with an attractive body and a generous and sexy figure, a favorite of many men. Even if the woman saw him, she wouldn't be jealous. On the contrary, she envied him more.
It was needless to say that Lu Xu Qian was so well-built that men could not bear to look at him directly, and so elegant that even women could not help but blush and feel their heartbeats. Its appearance was even more striking, and its deep facial features were like the best sculptures carved by heaven!
When the two stood together, it was as if they were the most perfect pair, causing one to be unable to help from yearning for them.
When Chu Xinxia came out of her new clothes, she happened to see Joey holding Lu Xu Qian's arm and saying something intimately.
It was like a bullet had hit her heart. She instantly felt an indescribable sadness.
She didn't even know what to say when she saw her boyfriend standing so well with other women.
"You're here." Lu Xunqian tilted his head slightly and saw Chu Xinxia standing on the stairs. She pulled Joey away and stretched out her hand towards her, "Come."
Chu Xinxia had changed into a new dress, which looked a lot more refined.
Lu Xu Qian intentionally found an ordinary gown for her, seemingly not wanting her to shine at tonight's ball at all.
Joy looked at Chu Xinxia's attire, then at Lu Xunqian's expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Chu Xinxia was curious and looked at Joey. "What's the matter?"
"Qian, you're still saying that this isn't your girlfriend? Look at her clothes, is it not your own selfishness?"
Chu Xinxia was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Xu Qian in confusion.
Lu Xu did not answer, but merely smiled gently and ruffled Chu Xinxia's hair.
For the rest of the time, Lu Xu Qian did not allow anyone to interrupt his summer time with Chu Xin. Instead, he brought Chu Xin Xia down a small boat, quietly fishing for fishes in the middle of the sea.
"Is it really okay for us to be like this here?" Although it was a small boat, it was actually big enough for ten people to ride. As the owner, Lu Xunqian left his guests on the yacht, fishing with the two of them easily. Wouldn't this …
"We're just here to have fun, what's the point of thinking so much? Some of those people were good friends of mine, and quite a few of them were friends they'd invited. This gathering was originally for the management members to exchange information, so even if I wasn't there, they would still have a good time. " Lu Xunqian's expression was indifferent. Holding the fishing rod, he seemed like a retired elderly person. He really did look a little out of place.
However, Chu Xin Xia felt that it wasn't bad. She looked at her dress that wasn't too eye-catching and immediately understood something. As his attire was not very conspicuous, it was not that eye-catching even when he was alone on the boat with Lu Xu Qian.
The two of them just stayed there quietly. Occasionally, when Lu Xu Qian caught a fish, Chu Xin Xia would put the fish in the bucket and bait it for him. Again and again, the two of them seemed to be tireless, relaxed and at ease.
