Xia Xiaoling turned her head with a sweet smile, the flashing lights began to flash continuously. She recalled that standing under the flashing lights in the past had always been her most embarrassing moment, but this time, she was really radiant. His thick eyebrows rose defiantly slightly, and under his long, slightly curling eyelashes were a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew, a handsome nose, lips as pink as rose petals, and fair skin.
This was the first time she was attending an event like this. She was a little nervous, smiled, and walked towards the signboard, politely accepting the pen handed to her by the staff member. She carefully left her signature on the pen, then led the staff to walk into the hall with Xi Mu Cheng by her arm.
The protagonist of today's show was not Xi Mu City but Xia Xiaoxiao. Everyone's eyes were on her, and as she walked towards the banquet hall, many people raised their eyebrows. Many people who were previously unable to avoid her took the initiative to greet her.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, she met Fang Jianlin, Fang Yiping's father. She had been engaged to be engaged to Fang Yiping for two years, but she had only met Fang Jianlin a few times. In her impression, he was a serious and conceited person. When the Xia Corporation was at their lowest in age, she once went to him to beg, but he not only shut her door and didn't see her, but also gave her a heavy blow.
"Hello, Boss Fang." She politely greeted him. Firstly, she had already cancelled her engagement with Fang Yiping, and secondly, she didn't have a good impression of him, so there was no need to use his honorific as an elder.
Fang Jianlin looked at her, then at the man beside her. He nodded slightly as a response, but no emotion could be seen in his shrewd expression.
"Go back to your work. I'll take a walk myself." Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the two or three people that came to greet Xi Mu City, and felt somewhat uneasy. She suggested that they take a walk around the city.
She carried a glass of wine as she shuttled back and forth through the banquet hall. The past few months had also taught her some of the niceties and slyness of the scene.
In just over 10 minutes, Xia Xiaoxiao had met some of the business bosses that Xiao Ai had introduced to her in advance, and she had successfully sent out her name card. Occasionally, they would chat for a bit, and the result would be twice the result with half the work.
She didn't realize that the pair of eyes behind her were staring at her silently.
Today's harvest was plentiful, and she also had quite a few business cards in her handbag.
She was already very controlled. When she clinked glasses with everyone, it was already symbolic. However, there were also many of them. The heel was too high, and with the old sprains from the sprain, she wanted to take advantage of the gap to get some air.
She was on the balcony outside the banquet hall, and before she could get a breath of fresh air, she was being held from behind by someone else. She was frightened and struggled with all her might.
"Xiao Wen, I missed you so much." She was about to cry out when she heard a voice behind her.
Xia Xiaoling was shocked. She was very familiar with this voice. "Fang Yiping."
"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Xia Xiaowang wondered, when she first saw Fang Jianlin, she did not see his shadow, so why did he appear here?
Fang Yiping, perhaps frightened by Xia Xiaoling's violent reaction, slowly let go of her hand. "Slight warmth, don't go!" Xia Xiaoling had just turned around, trying to get away from him, but her wrist was tightly gripped in her hand.
"Eldest Young Master Fang, please show some respect, we have nothing to do with each other right now." Her voice was still familiar with gentleness, but there was a bone-piercing coldness in it.
Fang Yiping wasn't surprised to hear Xia Xiaoling's words because her hatred for him was all caused by him. Although he had regrets, he didn't have the courage to go and get it back until just now when he received a call from Fang Jianlin.
"Ping! I want you to get close to Xia Xiaoling." Father Fang's tone was still commanding.
"Wh …" "What?" Fang Yiping didn't understand. Previously, his father had resolutely forced him to give up on Xia Xiaoxian, but now, she was asking him to get close to her. However, this was also good. It gave him a dignified amount of psychological comfort. This was the order of his father.
"Little Warm, you know, I've never forgotten about you. I've always loved you, could it be that you …"
"Don't talk about it. Your words will only make me feel disgusted." Xia Xiaoxiao shook off Fang Yiping's hand and turned to walk towards the main hall.
However, he ran into Xi Mucheng, who was standing at the entrance. Xia Xiaoxiao walked towards him and tightly held his arm. She whispered, "Cooperate with me."
It was fine if he didn't say anything, but now that he had finished speaking, Xi Mu Cheng's heart twitched. "Cooperate?" What sort of cooperation? How to cooperate? She was asking him to cooperate with her acting for Fang Yiping to see? What position did Xi Mu City have in her heart?
On the balcony, in the dim light, she looked up at him. Her scalp tingled and she was about to look away when he reached out and grabbed her chin.
She was startled, but could not retreat.
Xi Mu Cheng was really jealous, the scent of lily wafting through the air. His eyes darkened as he glared at her, "Since you want to cooperate, then I'll cooperate well."
Terrified by his undisguised stare, she tried to avoid it, but all she could feel was darkness before her, a softness on her lips, and then a quick tongue in her mouth.
"Ying …" "Let go …" She struggled, but she was scared by him, so she didn't make much of a move.
He pressed the back of her head and deepened the kiss. From being gentle to being tyrannical, from being tyrannical to being ruthless, the deeper the kiss went, the more lingering the kiss became.
Fang Yiping stood at the side, watching this scene in a daze. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. He had clearly seen Xia Xiaoxiao's initial struggle, but she had also clearly seen the tacit understanding and affability between the two of them. He was beginning to be unable to see through this woman, unable to see through this relationship.
When the kiss ended, Xia Xiaoling was still in a trance. She was almost leaning against his chest, gasping for breath, her face burning fiercely.
"You …" Xia Xiaowang stared at Xi Mu City in panic.
"Me? "What's wrong with me?" Xi Mu City pretended to be calm.
"Why did you suddenly kiss me? A lot of people saw it." Xia Xiaoxiao pursed her lips as a bashful expression appeared on her face.
Xi Mu Cheng looked at her and pushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear. He looked at her with eyes that seemed to be filled with love or hatred. Looking at her beautiful eyes, he became preoccupied, "Didn't you just want others to see?"
"I …" Xia Xiaoxiao was speechless. Wasn't the reason she asked him to cooperate just for Fang Yiping to see?
Xi Mu Cheng looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's hesitant face and his face suddenly turned cold. He pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him. "How do you feel towards me?"
