Damn it! He had the company's PR manager choose a dress that suited girls, but he didn't expect to choose this one.

If he knew this would happen, he might as well have chosen it himself.

"Do you think you can go and see people like this? Or do you really want to go to the beauty pageant? " Ling Yiheng rubbed his forehead, his tone was cold and heavy with a trace of anger.

"Didn't you tell me to wear it?" Zuo Zixian looked at him in confusion, his tone tinged with displeasure.

He was the one who had clearly given it to her, and now he was blaming her?

When Ling Yiheng saw the exposed skin on her back, her face turned even more unsightly, "Go and change now, then throw this clothes away!"

"Huh?"

Zuo Zi Wu was obviously shocked, he did not know why he repeated himself.

"We'll be late if you don't hurry." Ling Yiheng didn't plan to explain anything to her because it was too late.

"But I didn't bring any other dresses. Do you want me to wear a suit? " She felt somewhat helpless.

Ling Yiheng looked at the box beside her and knew that she must have gone shopping. He then asked, "You bought so many things, don't you have a suitable dress?"

If he hadn't told her, she would have forgotten, but now she suddenly remembered what she had bought. Although she didn't buy a formal dress, she did have a dress that was more suitable than a professional set for her to wear to dinner.

If he was serious, it should be a banquet, right?

Seeing that he was not in a good mood, she did not say anything else and walked over to the box to start searching.

Seeing her flustered movements, Ling Yiheng actually threw a lot of things out. Even some jewelry and crafts were brought out from the inside and scattered all over the ground.

He had always been a germaphobic person and loved to see things in order. Of course, he could not tolerate the mess in front of him. He then walked over and bent down to help her pick up the items one by one.

There was a long shopping list in the mess, but the name on the card holder's signature column made him wince.

Rui Chen Yang! Why did the name appear on her shopping list?

Ling Yi Heng suddenly grabbed the shopping list, changing the shape of the paper before releasing it. After a long while, he finally looked away.

Zuo Zixian finally found a black dress that he bought himself from the box. It had sleeveless sleeves and a waist-length design along with a lotus leaf collar, all of which were created by famous designers in the country.

The designer had studied abroad in Italy and had won an international prize for designing clothes that had always been sold under overseas brands and had to be booked wherever you went. She also didn't expect that it could be bought at home, so she didn't hesitate to buy it when she saw it.

Furthermore, at that time, Rui Chen Yang had said that she looked good when she wore it, so naturally, she liked this dress.

Finally, she finished changing her clothes and came out. This time, Ling Yiheng's expression was better than before, at least he didn't get angry at her, but he still looked weird, as if she had done something to let him down.

Zuo Zixian wanted to ask, but was worried about the dispute with him, so he gave up in the end.

While walking past the elevator, Ling Yiheng looked through the metallic wall at the reflection of himself and Zuo Zixian, and couldn't help but reach out to grab her arm.

Zuo Zixian was shocked by his actions, he looked back at him but did not struggle free.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings, but she was certain that she no longer had as much aversion towards Ling Yiheng as she had from the start.

It wasn't until they were in the car that Ling Yiheng told Zuo Zixian that it was the anniversary of the wedding of a business partner of his and invited him to attend. That was why he came to find her.

In order to avoid her embarrassment, she told Zuo Zixian the name of the couple from the invitee side.

Those two were indeed extravagant, it was no wonder that even Ling Yiheng could move against them. The entire banquet was filled with famous people, and there were even many politicians who had appeared on television before. Even Zuo Zixian had seen this before.

While she was speechless, she was also worried about how she would deal with Ling Yiheng if he were to bring her to such an occasion from time to time.

She wasn't a very sociable person. She had learned some social etiquette from her father when she was learning to do business. However, this didn't mean that she liked this kind of situation.

Right now, it was bustling with noise and excitement, and there were crowds of people everywhere.

The man and woman surnamed Chen personally went out to welcome them, and when they saw Zuo Zixian, their eyes lit up. Zuo Zizhen was also shocked, this couple seemed to be male and female, there seemed to be a difference of 20 years between them.

The man was about forty years old, but Mrs. Chen seemed to be about the same age as him.

However, this Madam Chen was extremely generous and didn't fear the gazes of others in the slightest. When he saw Zuo Zixian, his eyes were filled with amazement.

"This lady really does look like she's a good match for Director Ling." Lady Chen praised sincerely, then added, "When you two get married, don't forget to invite us."

She was different from Zuo Zixian. Although she was about the same age, she had married a long time ago, met many people in the business world, and treated others as her own. She was much more experienced than Zuo Zixian.

Although he knew that others were just being polite, hearing these words still made Zuo Zixian blush, but he couldn't open his mouth to defend himself. After all, she was currently playing the role of Ling Yiheng's fiancee.

What she didn't notice was that the corner of Ling Yi Heng's mouth slightly tilted upwards, showing a trace of a faint smile.

They followed the Chen couple into the banquet hall. Their outstanding appearances attracted many people's attention.

This was not the first time, but Zuo Zixian still felt shy.

She noticed that almost all the young women present were looking at Ling Yiheng with an expression of adoration. She didn't notice, however, that quite a few men had cast undisguised looks of admiration on her.

That Mr. Chen was proud to be able to invite a person like Ling Yiheng. He happily introduced Ling Yiheng to everyone present.

After finishing his sentence, he suddenly thought of something and said to Ling Yiheng, "Oh right, Mister Ling, I still need to introduce someone to you. That person is …"

He hadn't even finished speaking when he heard a stir in the crowd. In an instant, everyone's gaze was shifted to the door.

Zuo Zizhen couldn't help but follow everyone's gaze over, and then he saw Rui Chen Yang, who wore a light purple suit and gave off a warm feeling, slowly walk over with one hand holding a bag in front of everyone's eyes.

Her face was shocked, she did not expect Rui Chen Yang to come here. Could it be that the evening party he had mentioned before was to attend the Chen couple's anniversary?

Just as she was thinking, she heard Mr. Chen's voice by her ear. "Haha, it's a coincidence that you came earlier than me. I was about to introduce you when you arrived."

However, he did not greet her. Instead, he looked towards Ling Yiheng, who was beside her, and smirked as he said apologetically to Mr. Chen, "Sorry, I'm late."

Mr. Chen laughed a few more times, but did not mind. On the contrary, he excitedly introduced Ling Yiheng and Zuo Zixian to Rui Chenyang.

He had always wanted to work with the Billions of Cities Corporation that Rui Chenyang belonged to, so he finally got someone to invite the other party over. He had also heard that Ling Chen Yang and Ling Yiheng had appeared at the banquet together, so he guessed that these two people might be heroes who valued heroes, and might be of use to him in the business world.

However, he only knew the first and the second. Naturally, he did not know about the dispute between Ling Chen Yang and Ling Yiheng.

"I think you two should have known each other since a long time ago? After all, you are the youngest and most promising entrepreneurs in the domestic business community, and you are all so good. " Mr. Chen's words were full of admiration and flattery, and he looked at Rui Chen Yang and Ling Yi Heng with a flushed face.

Ling Yiheng's expression was as calm as always, as if there was no expression on his face. Meanwhile, Rui Chenyang's face was covered by a gentle smile, as if he was born to be happy.

"Hello, CEO Ling. How have you been?" Rui Chen Yang took the initiative to extend his hand towards Ling Yi Heng. He was still smiling, without any changes.

Zuo Zixian's heart tightened, he looked at Ling Yiheng, worried that he would not give Rui Chenyang any face at this time, and would leave in the same fashion as last time.

Although this ball had nothing to do with her, she didn't want the two of them to be so noisy.

However, what made Zuo Zixian surprised was that Ling Yiheng actually extended his hand as well, and politely shook Rui Chenyang's hand, "Director Rui, hello."

Although his tone was cold and emotionless, it was polite.

Just when Zuo Zixian let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Rui Chenyang say to her, "Hello, Miss Zuo."

Previously, he was used to hearing her call him Zhi Wu, but now, he suddenly called her Miss Zuo. He really wasn't used to it. But why did it seem like he was meeting her for the first time? Zuo Zixian's stomach was filled with questions, but now that he was in a difficult situation to ask him questions, he could only hold it in.

Ling Yiheng looked at the interaction between Zuo Zixian and Rui Chenyang, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on Zuo Zixian's arm.

Very soon, the guests that came to celebrate for the Chen couple had arrived. The Chen couple announced that everyone was seated.

Zuo Zixian found it strange that Ling Yi Heng was sitting on his left, while Rui Chen Yang was on her right.

She subconsciously looked at the waiter next to her. She did not know how this was arranged, but she did not know what to say.
