Seeing Lin Qi's serious expression, Du Liqing couldn't help but secretly recall Jing Chen's attitude towards Mu Jinxuan. He suddenly felt that Mu Jinxuan's gaze was always on the man beside her.

Could it be because of him that she was jealous?

With this thought in mind, his gaze slowly swept over Lu Juyan. The more he looked, the more familiar he became, but he couldn't confirm the other's identity.

"Eh? You're still together? "

Lin Qi followed Du Yun's line of sight and just happened to see Lu Juyan's existence. He was astonished. In his mind, he recalled the scene where he accompanied Du Liqing from the beginning, but he did not discover the other party's existence. He could not help but start to secretly be curious about the relationship between the two.

Because of Lin Qi's words, Du Liqing was able to retract her gaze when she was deep in thought. Lowering his head, he gave a light hum, not wanting to say anything more.

This actually caused Lin Qi to pull him further away from Mo Wuji because their relationship wasn't ordinary.

With a smile that resembled that of someone with ill intentions, Mimi whispered next to Du Liqing's ear, "Tell me honestly, what's the relationship between the two of you?"

Lin Qi heroically put his hand on Du Ruqing's shoulder. He looked like a big sister and didn't feel like there was anything wrong with her posture.

Looking at this scene, Qin Shizhi smiled helplessly. His gaze unconsciously fell on Lu Juyan as he nodded to show his courtesy.

Neither of them said much, but from their eyes, it could be seen that neither of them wanted to harm Du Liqing. Therefore, the two of them stood by the side in an open manner. Neither of them picked a fight with the other, so they both chose to remain silent.

"I just met him, what are you thinking about?" Du Ruqing removed Lin Qi's hand from her shoulder and helplessly curled her lips, completely admiring Lin Qi's imagination.

However, he did not mind Lin Qi's nosy attitude and instead started to chat with her out of habit.

The four of them stood together and chatted. No one asked for the other's name. It was just a single meeting. Would they meet or would it just be a side issue? Due to Du Liqing's existence, none of them had the mood to formalize this banquet into a business conversation.

Not long after, Qin Shizhi's cell phone rang. He went to a quiet place to answer the call. When he returned, his expression was a bit heavy. Lin Qi, who noticed him, immediately understood what was going on.

"Ji Lan, I left with Ji Xin in advance. You should be careful."

Although there weren't many people mixed in with the fish and the dragon, there were still many rich kids who liked to find a bed in such a banquet. Lin Qi, who was familiar with the routine, had to wake up to avoid any accidents.

"Alright, you guys go back to your work." Du Liqing was not someone who would not act according to the circumstances. In the past, he and his father had already known many things at the banquet. Ye Zichen let the two leave with a smile on his face. Towards this banquet, she was merely trying to get in the mood.

A trace of desolation flashed in her eyes as she watched the two of them leave. Lu Juyan, who rarely spoke, acted as the person to start a conversation. Although many people wanted to approach him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they were all isolated by his cold gaze.

The place where Du Liqing was seated was extremely quiet. It was a little out of place with the liveliness of the banquet. However, she didn't have the slightest aversion towards him. Instead, she developed a curious attitude towards the man beside her.

"The banquet is over. We'll meet again if fate allows it." In the blink of an eye, the host had already announced the end of the event and many people had left the area. Du Liqing glanced at Lu Juyan and revealed a faint smile before turning to leave, not showing any signs of wanting to approach him.

She could vaguely sense that the man gave her the feeling that Lu Juyan was by her side. He was very at ease and very worried at the same time.

After leaving the banquet venue, he walked down the street. He wanted to stop a taxi and return to the hotel, but there were very few cars on the street. Lowering his head to look at his phone, he realized that it was already late at night.

Du Liqing had been unable to get a taxi, so he could only walk along the main street. Lu Juyan drove his car and caught up to him before he had even walked far. He was still wearing his mask as he stopped beside Du Liqing and asked, "Do you want me to send you back?"

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Du Liqing vaguely felt that this wasn't right, but seeing that there weren't any cars around, and they were quite far from the hotel, he felt that something was amiss. He stood by the side of the street, pursing his lips and blowing on the cold wind.

"Come in."

Lu Juyan's words were like a controller tempting Du Liqing's movements. She unconsciously opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat. When she finally reacted, she realized that the other side had already driven towards her hotel. She didn't know if it was along the way or if she actually knew.

Avoiding this was just an accident along the way, so Du Liqing coincidentally pointed out the location of her hotel. Seeing that Lu Juyan was still wearing his mask, it seemed that his profile was quite handsome.

That extremely strong sense of familiarity made Du Ruqing have the urge to take off Lu Juyan's mask, but gave up because of the modesty in her heart.

"Alright, we're here." Lu Juyan noticed that Du Chunqing had his head lowered, as if he was thinking of something. He didn't disturb her the entire way. She didn't raise her head even when he parked his car in front of the hotel. He couldn't help but kindly remind her.

"Thank you very much." Du Liqing woke up from his thoughts and looked into Lu Juyan's deep eyes. He had a kind of unfathomable feeling that one could not see the bottom of the abyss. He hurriedly retracted his gaze, undid his seatbelt, thanked the others, and hastily pushed open the door.

Du Liqing was about to head towards the hotel room when Lu Juyan got out of the car and walked with her.

Lu Juyan finally turned around and prepared to leave when Du Youzhi was already upstairs. He returned to the car, but he didn't have the impulse to leave.

In the hotel room, Dudian washed his face and rinsed his mouth. As soon as she laid down on the soft bed, he fell asleep.

It was two or three in the morning. In the room next to the hotel, a man was beating up his wife viciously and was constantly insulting her.

Because the sound was too loud, it woke up Du Liqing. Opening her sleepy eyes, she could hear the constant sounds of insults, making her feel extremely irritated. She could not help but complain in a low voice, "It's already the middle of the night, why are you making such a ruckus!"

He slightly frowned as the parched throat in his throat made him feel a slight tearing pain. Subconsciously, he lifted the blanket and walked towards the dining table. He poured himself a cup of water and downed it all in one gulp.

When she lay down on the bed again, Du realized that she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. After tossing and turning for a long time, the sleepiness seemed to have disappeared completely.

In the dark night, Dean opened his eyes and once again lifted the blanket. He walked towards the window, ready to take in the wind and relax his mind.

"Eh? Isn't that the man's car? " He opened the window and glanced downstairs. Coincidentally, he saw a familiar car. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Lu Juyan's car and couldn't help but murmur softly.
