Chapter 7 - Happy Birthday
"Chu Liang, this is Mister Liang and Mister Zhang." Tao Jian Xin took the initiative to introduce the two people, but his peripheral vision was still following the body of the nearby Lu Zi Xuan.
There was no need to beat around the bush.
Tao Chu Liang listened to Tao Jian Xin and the young noblemen's flattery towards each other in boredom. At the same time, he noticed Xiang Chen Xi who was surrounded by a few mistresses.
His height of 1.8 meters made him stand out among the crowd. Of course, what attracted the eye was not only his height, but more importantly, his face that was extremely skilled.
"Chu Liang? Chu Liang? " Tao Jian Xin called out to Tao Chu Liang twice, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Tao Chu Liang calmly shook the red wine in his cup, "I'm a little tired."
After Tao Jian Xin heard this, he decided to speed up.
"There is also a very important friend that you should meet. Why don't you go and rest after that? "
"Mm. Alright."
Sure enough, Tao Jian Xin led Tao Chu Liang over to Lu Zi Xuan.
Today, Lu Zi Xuan was wearing a blue and white, miniskirt custom-made shirt. Even though he exuded the aura of a dissolute, hedonistic young master, his hardware conditions were completely incomparable to the other men present.
With a height of 1.7 meters and a normal appearance, every time Tao Chu Liang took a step closer, he could not help but ask himself if he was blind at the time to fall in love with this man.
"Happy birthday, Miss Chu Liang." Lu Zi Xuan smiled and looked at Tao Chu Liang, at the same time, he picked up a jewelry box from the hands of the beautiful assistant lady beside him, "I hope you like this present."
"Little Lu, you're too kind." Tao Jian Xin praised her generously.
Tao Chu Liang was extremely familiar with the platinum necklace that was once a treasure of hers. Initially, she had even complained that Tao Yi Fei lost the necklace she specially prepared for the birthday banquet. After he accepted Lu Zi Xuan's gift, she had thought that Lu Zi Xuan was her fated savior.
"So beautiful, Mr Lu has such good taste." Tao Chu Liang stared at the necklace and lied smoothly.
"Can I put it on for you?"
Tao Chu Liang forced himself to nod his head and agree.
The moment he buckled the necklace, Lu Zi Xuan gasped in relief beside Tao Chu Liang's ear, "Only the most beautiful of treasures can be worthy of you."
Tao Chu Liang felt sick. She quickly raised his hand to cover his lips, forcefully showing a bashful smile.
Just then, Liu Ling, who had been observing from the side for a long time, quickly pushed the host to the stage and announced the start of the banquet.
"Miss Tao, I wonder if I would be fortunate enough to accompany you to this opening dance?" Lu Zi Xuan extended his hand out to invite her.
The gazes of the people in the surroundings all turned towards that direction.
Tao Chu Liang silently hinted at himself in the bottom of his heart that only after Lu Zi Xuan finished his act would she be able to slightly numb him, and then, he would take the opportunity to eliminate them.
However, her body instinctively despised Lu Zi Xuan's hands and did not want to have any contact with him.
"Come. I'll dance with you. "
A tall figure suddenly rushed out from the side, lightly held Tao Chu Liang's hand and brought her to the center of the stage, where there was only a single spotlight.
Tao Chu Liang stood under the light of the lamp, unable to see his surroundings clearly.
"Lift your head and look at me."
Xiang Chen Xi ordered as he tightly hugged Tao Chu Liang's waist, causing her, who was not ready yet, to instantly recover his energy.
Tao Chu Liang lifted his eyes to meet Xiang Chen Xi's deep eyes and blazing gaze; everything that he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.
"Happy birthday, Tao Chu Liang."
