The table is full of dazzling delicacies, but Xiao Xixi is no longer salivating as before. She looks calm on the surface, especially when paired with a warm-colored dress, which adds a bit of gentle and ladylike temperament. However, she
She knew that her heart, which was as gentle as water on the surface, was as anxious as the waves on the sea when a storm came.
Nowadays, people are like swordsmen, and I am like fish, so what should I say? It’s not like rushing a duck to the shelf, but like rushing to the execution ground. Xiao Xixi tightly closed her lips painted with pink lip gloss, and couldn’t help but look forward.
Since this banquet was hosted by Situ Yatai, and as Party B accepted the contract from Yi Zhong Group, out of business etiquette, Situ was also the host, so he must arrive earlier than the other party.
For Xiao Xixi, the feeling of waiting for "death" is more terrifying than "death" itself.
If she had known that when she saw Zhong Yixuan on the TV screen, she should have carefully remembered all his news. If she had known that the signing party of the meeting that day was "Yizhong Group", she should have thought of Zhong Yixuan and "Yizhong".
If I had known about it... I wouldn't have known about it, so just regretting here would be of no use.
Because she was too nervous, she couldn't help but grab Situ Leiyan's wrapped arm with all her strength, and invisibly pinched a little mark on Situ Leiyan's strong arm under the sleeve of his shirt.
Feeling a slight pain, he lowered his head to look at Xiao Xixi, who was wandering in her thoughts. He used his big hand to forcefully break her chin, stared at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm... so nervous." A trace of nervousness flashed across Xiao Xixi's face, seemingly shy. She was very nervous, but what she was nervous about was how to face that demonic person later. "I'm afraid I'll show off.
No, what if I embarrass you again?"
I had no choice but to find this reason.
Unexpectedly, Situ Leiyan patted her cheek and whispered: "Why are you nervous? It's not because of me."
There was no emotional tone - but Xiao Xixi suddenly felt a little warm. She didn't know if she wanted to rely too much on the strong man in front of her to seek a sense of security, or if his actions just now made the two of them seem like a pair of tacit lovers.
Illusion. In short, she was not so panicked anymore, calmed down and waited slowly.
"President Situ, I have kept you waiting for a long time!" Xiao Xixi shuddered when she saw the man. He walked into the banquet hall with a woman on his arm with an evil smile and used a common excuse in shopping malls: "The company is a little busy this afternoon.
, I came here after finishing the matter at hand, I’m so sorry!”
In fact, I have to admit that although Zhong Yixuan is the embodiment of evil, he himself has a handsome face that is unforgettable. Although his shoulders are not as broad and strong as Situ Leiyan, he is still slender, handsome and bright.
Apart from the conceited look in his eyes, they are more like a character from a comic who doesn't eat fireworks.
However, only Xiao Xixi understood that his charming smile in front of others and the pure admiration he attracted from so many girls in college were all just an extreme cover-up for his wild nature.
She stepped aside, her heart beating like a small drum at this moment, but she still stayed by Situ Leiyan's side pretending to be natural, waiting silently for him to move forward.
When he was almost there, Xiao Xixi suddenly felt that the woman next to him looked familiar, and her eyes were gradually attracted to her. After only two glances, she recognized that his female companion was Gu Ruo, whom she met at the party that day.
Lan. How could she... get together with Zhong Yixuan?
Perhaps, such a beautiful and elegant woman must have close friendship with the upper class. However, she vaguely remembered that Situ Leiyan knew her. If her guess was not wrong, they had had a past.
What?
"Let me introduce to you, this is my senior sister when I was studying at Yale, Gu Ruolan." Zhong Yixuan introduced.
"Hello."
"Nice to meet you."
There seems to be a feeling that the story is unfinished. But the polite greetings end here, and there is no follow-up communication.
Seeing that Situ Leiyan didn't have any strange expression, she was a little confused, maybe it was just her own unfounded guess.
With the band playing as softly as the bright moon, the dinner began.
From the first step into the banquet hall, except for the business entertainment, Zhong Yixuan never looked away from Xiao Xixi. No matter whether she lowered her head and remained silent or moved her eyes slightly to pretend to ignore him, he
All in sight.
He has been waiting for too long for today's start. Like a hibernating polar bear, his gentle appearance hides a rampant beastly nature.
After graduating from Yale, he renamed the company his father invested in as "Yizhong Group" and tried his best to make it bigger and stronger, just so that one day he could return to China in a dazzling way and meet Xiao Xixi again.
If she can't remember his love for her, then let her remember his hatred. It doesn't matter if she hates him to the core, so that she will never forget him! Today, he finally came back, walking towards her step by step, coming back
Already.
There was a lot of drinking and drinking, and it was just like a shopping mall. Xiao Xixi was too inexperienced, so she could only take a sneak peek at everyone's expressions and expressions while changing cups. There were too many subtleties that she couldn't understand.
"President Situ, Secretary Xiao is young, beautiful, and quick-thinking. She is truly a good helper for you!" "Yes, yes!" "Miss Xiao is as beautiful as a flower and must be very knowledgeable to stay under President Situ.
!" The flatterers said in unison.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Xixi's identity next to Situ Leiyan is more than just a secretary. Such a childish face and green responses are definitely not what a secretary in a shopping mall should have. But occasionally when looking at Situ's eyes
He would fall on her, even lowering his head and whispering something to her several times... Everyone tacitly believed that she was at least Situ's "popular person". It didn't count because anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was the newbie of the little girl, but
, a woman who is loved by Situ Leiyan must have pillow talk.
"Yes, my subordinates really spoke my mind. Come, Secretary Xiao, Yi Xuan is here to toast you a drink!" Zhong Yixuan stood up and raised his glass, looked at Xiao Xixi with a flawless smile, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Xixi's face became a little pale. She knew that at this time, the other party's status was already higher than hers, and now he took the initiative to stand up and toast, and he had to clean up first. That was inevitable and he had to toast. But...
She opened her red lips lightly and struggled to squeeze out two words: "Thank you." She had to pour the wine in her stomach. This kind of wanton play, to the vicious Zhong Yixuan, even the tip of the iceberg should be
It doesn’t even count.
"Ahem..." Unaware of the strong feeling of Martell, she choked and coughed, and her face turned red from holding it in.
"Sorry, CEO, I need to go to the bathroom!" She hurriedly escaped from the banquet hall and it was time to take a breath.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the bathroom, she took out her mobile phone again and dialed the familiar number: "Hey, brother Rui, did you receive my text message this afternoon?... Well, yes, I work overtime. In fact, I just accompany the president.
Dinner for socializing. In fact, it's really annoying. I miss you so much. I don't like the atmosphere here. I feel so tired and I can't move or talk casually." She said coquettishly.
"I originally wanted to treat you to dinner tonight. Xiaowen said that there is a very delicious rice noodle shop in Yesajiao Square. Although the store is a bit small, it tastes super delicious... Yes, yes, isn't it?
!I'm telling you—" Before he could finish his words, the mobile phone next to his ear suddenly "flyed" into the sky.
She looked up along the flying trajectory and saw that it was Situ Leiyan!
She was on the phone again and was seen by him. This time he simply came over to grab the phone and pressed the "end" button in front of her.
"You..." Xiao Xixi looked depressed, "I was on the phone and you actually pressed the button for me!"
"You didn't go to eat, but went to the 'bathroom' here? Whose phone number?!" Situ Leiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"My brother. I don't like the atmosphere there. It's so tiring. I'm not very good at talking." Xiao Xixi muttered, looking at Situ Leiyan with her big innocent eyes.
Is this asking him for mercy and understanding?
Looking at her expression, he had no idea that such innocent and childlike eyes looked so charming.
He resisted the desire to kiss as much as he wanted here: "Okay, go back quickly. There are plans later. Didn't you say you have to behave well?" "Guard" her back.
The band began to play soft but cheerful dance music, and there was actually a dance. Xiao Xixi held Situ Leiyan's shoulders, and her face gradually turned pink. Maybe it was because of the alcohol just now, or maybe it was the music he put on her waist at this moment.
With his big hands and gaze, there was a kind of warmth in the air.
The song ends...exchanging dance partners.
Exchange dance partners? Then, Situ Leiyan, who has the same status... exchanges with Zhong Yixuan?! Doesn't that mean that he wants to dance with him!
Xiao Xixi's face changed greatly, but she remained silent and let go of Situ Leiyan's hand. Just when she was about to turn around and find an excuse to drink water or do something else, a hand appeared in front of her eyes, accompanied by that chilling sound.
: "Ms. Xiao, can I invite you to dance?"
He looked up at Zhong Yixuan with a gentle and kind smile, as if if he rejected him, others would only think of Xiao Xixi's rudeness.
Xiao Xixi's lowered hands pinched the corners of her skirt nervously, wanting to seek help from Situ Leiyan, but she saw that he had already raised Gu Ruolan's hand in the same posture, and his back was facing her, and the dance music gradually started to sound.
She was so frightened that she wanted to hide away, but the moment she turned sideways, Zhong Yixuan stood in front of her. When she hit her chest, he grabbed her hands with both hands and held her tightly.
