8 PM.
Outside the high ranking banquet, Chu Meng was standing at the door, dressed in a small black robe.
She was looking all around as if she was waiting for someone. Only when a good car slowly pulled up beside her did Chu Meng have a slight smile on her face.
"You're here?" Looking at the Lan Yetian who was slowly getting off the carriage, the corner of Chu Meng's mouth revealed a warm smile. I thought you wouldn't come? "
Lan Yetian lowered his eyes and swept a glance at the exquisite Chu Meng, "I will definitely do what I have promised you."
After he finished speaking, Lan Yetian walked into the house. Although he did not have any feelings for the weekend, but after thinking about how this little girl had chased him around and helped him out with a lot of things over the past six years, how could he bear to reject all of her requests.
Towards the back of Lan Yetian, Chu Meng was slightly injured. He was still not too far away from his in the end. Tonight, he was going to make Lan Yetian completely give up on Li Xi.
When he came back to his senses, a black luxury car was slowly driving over.
Looking at the familiar license plate number, Chu Meng took a deep breath and tossed everything that happened to the back of her mind. Li Xi, you're here. "
Li Xi who was slowly getting off the car nodded her head with a warm smile in her eyes. This girl was dressed in a short white dress that covered her chest. She looked sexy and adorable. Her wavy hair naturally fell onto her waist, revealing her innocence and romance.
"I thought you really didn't come?" Clutching Li Xi's hand tightly, the corners of Chu Meng's mouth slightly lifted upwards. Elder sister is very happy that you came. "
He pulled Li Xi out of the gate and walked towards the banquet grounds step by step, as if he had forgotten about Ling Yushi who was behind him. Thinking of Ling Yushi, he followed the two of them into the venue step by step with his hands in his pockets.
When the black and white figures entered the crowd's line of sight, everyone's eyes lit up. The wine cup in Lan Yetian's hand that was hidden in the corner stopped, and his gaze followed the white colored figure as he slowly advanced forward.
"I'm very happy to be able to attend my party. I hope everyone will enjoy it." "Chu Meng who had been holding onto Li Xi and refused to let go of her hand said to the rest naturally. "It's my honor to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Ling. We hope to become good friends and partners in the future."
As for Chu Meng who spoke so naturally and frankly, Ling Yushi walked in front of Li Xi and pulled him back to her side. Seeing Ling Yushi's big hand landing on her shoulder, Lan Yetian revealed a look of displeasure, and suddenly placed the wine cup on the counter. This time, he finally understood the reason why Chu Meng deliberately allowed him to participate in this banquet. Was it to let him have a look at the love between Ling Yushi and Li Xi? For some reason, his manager was furious.
Li Xi hid in Ling Yushi's embrace the entire time, his eyes revealing a happy expression. But when her watery eyes drifted over to Lan Yetian, Li Xi's face tensed up. Their four eyes met, and Li Xi retracted her gaze, lowering her head lightly. She didn't know why, but it felt like her heart was about to burst out of her mouth.
Looking at Li Xi's actions, Ling Yushi's big hand slowly made a grabbing motion.
"Not feeling well?" Ling Yushi asked softly, his tone filled with unprecedented gentleness.
"Nope." As he slowly spoke, he once again lifted his watery eyes to meet Ling Yushi's incomparably icy black ones. Let's find a place to sit down. I'm tired. "
Looking at Li Xi, Ling Yushi didn't ask anymore questions. Holding her hand, they slowly entered the crowd and sat in a corner.
Time flew by, 1 minute and 1 second, but Li Xi felt as if a year had passed in her heart … The small hands constantly wasted each other.
"I'm tired, let's go back!" After a long while, Li Xi still could not endure this, and as sshe was awkwardly suffering, he turned her head and asked softly.
"Don't you want to face it?" Ling Yushi, on the other hand, was calm as she leaned back in his chair. Her ice-cold eyes sized up Li Xi as if she wanted to see through her.
Being told about Li Xi's body, Su Yun trembled.
"No, I'm just too tired." "The stubborn Li Xi refused to admit it no matter what, as his little hands caressed his slightly protruding stomach. Even if you don't think for me, you still have to think for yourself, child! "
"Yes." Ling Yushi didn't say anything else and slowly got up to help Li Xi up. "Let's go, my wife!"
Li Xi frowned and looked at Ling Yushi helplessly. Just as the two of them took a step forward, Chu Meng was already standing in front of them with an unshakeable smile on her face, making it difficult to tell if they are friends or foe. " What's wrong? Am I the one that is not good at all? You're leaving so early. "
"It's easier for her to get tired when she's pregnant these days, so I'm taking her home." Without waiting for Li Xi to speak, Ling Yushi slowly said.
"Li Xi, wait a little longer, I have a friend that I want to introduce to Ling Yushi, okay?" The look in Chu Meng's eyes that he was begging for help was like that of a child's.
That's right," Li Xi said helplessly as she slowly loosened her frown. The corner of her mouth slightly raised into a charming smile. "Well, you guys get busy, I'll sit here for a minute.
Ling Yushi swept his gaze over the silent Li Xi. With both hands in his pockets, he looked at Chu Meng. "You have really piqued my interest. I wonder who was the one who actually helped set up a match with someone who has always been uninterested in business."
Chu Meng pulled back from her thoughts, laughed slowly, and turned her gaze to Lan Yetian who was not far away.
Looking at Lan Yetian in the corner, Ling Yushi's eyes grew colder and colder.
"She's my boyfriend. I hope you guys can work together in the mall." Chu Meng laughed but his eyes carried a strange gaze as they swept over the actions of the Li Xi sitting in front of him. He could clearly see Li Xi's hands tremble for a moment before returning to normal. This made Chu Meng feel an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.
"Boyfriend, is Lan Yetian your boyfriend?" Ling Yushi asked with a smile, frowning slightly.
Chu Meng shrugged her shoulders and no longer spoke. Of course she knew that nothing could escape Ling Yushi's eyes. Actually, those words from before were not for Li Xi to hear.
Having figured out Chu Meng's thoughts, Ling Yushi put both his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows slightly. Aren't you going to introduce us? "
Chu Meng who had recovered from her shock, was stunned for a moment. Nodding repeatedly, she hastily walked towards Lan Yetian who was not far away.
"Dearest, he's Ling Yushi. From now on, you must cooperate more in business."
Hearing Chu Meng's voice, Lan Yetian slowly pulled himself back from his thoughts and placed the wine cup on the table. He raised his gaze and looked at Ling Yushi, who was standing in front of him. Lan Yetian knitted his brows towards the noble and domineering aura that Ling Yushi was born with. "I've heard a lot about you and have the pleasure of meeting you."
It was just a polite tone. Ling Yushi only furrowed his brows slightly, and slowly reached out with his big hand to rest on Lan Yetian's hand …
Looking at the two of them, shaking hands, the knot in Chu Meng's heart slowly relaxed.
"How about a drink?" Lan Yetian lifted his wine cup gently and asked Ling Yushi probingly.
Ling Yushi slowly unfurled his thick eyebrows and snapped his fingers, signalling a waiter to bring the wine cup over. Did the two of them seem to hate each other for being late? You drink one cup after another. Chu Meng, who was at the side, acted as if she was extra, unable to even interrupt.
"I heard that the next target of the Red Maple Group is our Ling Group." Without hiding anything, Ling Yushi glanced at the silent Lan Yetian.
"So you have to be careful, I might bring back everything that belongs to you, including what belongs to you." Lan Yetian smiled faintly, revealing his warm dimples.
Such a conversation had piqued Ling Yushi's interest even further. No one had ever dared to provoke him in front of his face. Now, he was very surprised to meet an opponent … However, his business and women would not easily give up to anyone. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, causing the atmosphere to drop several degrees in an instant. Even breathing became difficult.
Chu Meng's face turned pale white, she looked at Lan Yetian's handsome face in shock. It was hard to believe that Lan Yetian would actually say such words. Was his love for Li Xi really that deep?
"My woman, everything I have can only belong to me. You can't take it away from me!" His tone was as plain as ever, but others felt an invisible pressure.
Lan Yetian shrugged his shoulders slightly and swallowed the last mouthful of the red wine. He turned his head back and smiled at Li Xi's back. As long as she is not happy, I will never let her stay by your side. "
Facing such a provocation, Ling Yushi's thick eyebrows twisted into a ball. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if an unprecedented war was about to break out.
Chu Meng bit her lips and laughed sinisterly. "Darling, you must be joking, you're mine."
With regards to Chu Meng coming out to smooth things over, Lan Yetian did not say anything and just asked for another cup of wine to slowly be tasted. Ling Yushi relaxed his frown and smiled faintly. I will never give you a chance. "
With that, Ling Yushi picked up his wine cup and clinked it with Lan Yetian's, and the two of them drank all the wine.
What happened just now, it was as if nothing happened, the bar once again returned to its previous calm. This caused Chu Meng to worry for nothing, and she started to sweat cold sweat first.
"I'll take her home when he gets tired." Ling Yushi elegantly placed the wine cup down and said softly. Then, he turned around and was about to leave. But suddenly he stopped, and slowly turned to look at Lan Yetian. See you at the mall. "
After saying that, Ling Yushi turned around and left with a smile on his face, a smile that would cause anyone to guess what he was thinking. Lan Yetian easily raised his wine cup and drank the brown wine.
Seeing that Lan Yetian seemed to be deep in thought, Chu Meng also ordered a glass of wine. "But, she finished it in one gulp and abruptly placed the cup on the bar, letting out a thumping sound." Why? "Tell me why?"
questioned him suspiciously. Seeing that he did not say anything, Chu Meng actually started crying, using the makeup that she had painstakingly painted on her face.
"Haven't you liked me a little over the years?" Many years of suppression finally exploded out, and Chu Meng firmly grabbed onto Lan Yetian's clothes.
"My heart has long since been emptied by her. Don't waste any more time." Lan Yetian looked expressionlessly and calmly at Crying Chu Meng. Even if she was unwilling, Chu Meng could only sob helplessly …
