The anxiety caused by the heat made her feel depressed all the time. Wen Ai mysteriously told her that he would take her to a birthday party.
All well-dressed men and women gathered together in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing.
At this gathering of upper-class people, Long Qianqian felt that she was out of tune with them.
"Love, love, I think I'd better go back."
Wen Ai held her back. "Don't leave. Today is my uncle's sixtieth birthday. Please give me some face!"
Faced with Wen Ai's enthusiasm, Long Qianqian no longer had any reason to leave.
When she was bored, she had to sit in an inconspicuous corner. She didn't like publicity, and she had never seen such a big scene, so she kept a low profile as much as possible.
"Miss, can I buy you a drink?"
At the playful tone and familiar voice, Long Qianqian suddenly raised her head and met Xuan Le's smiling eyes.
"Xuanle? Why are you here?"
The fact that he is here means that Long Henyang must be here.
Xuan Le sat down next to her and said with a smile, "This is my home!"
His family? Long Qianqian looked at him in shock. Could it be that Wen Ai's cousin is Xuan Le's sister?
She suddenly understood that no wonder she felt similar to Xuan Yu when she first met her. She was somewhat similar to Xuan Le.
Long Qianqian stood up and swept around the crowd in panic.
Xuan Le felt it was funny to be so afraid of Long Hen Yang. "Don't look at it! Yang is not among those people."
Long Qianqian looked at Xuan Le pleadingly.
"Don't tell him you've seen me."
She didn't know if Xuan Le would tell Long Henyang that she had to leave here. If she had known this earlier, she would not have fallen into a trap with Wen Ai.
Xuan Le drank wine leisurely, watching Long Qianqian fleeing like a thief, and followed him.
There was a commotion at the door, and everyone looked there. Under the flashing spotlight, the car that Long Qianqian was very familiar with slowly stopped.
The car door opened, and the unruly and arrogant man stepped out. He stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and handed it to him with a pair of snow-white slender hands.
Then the dazzling woman came, with a spring-like smile on her face, standing next to Long Henyang, and generously accepted the media's photos.
For a moment, all eyes were attracted to the seemingly golden couple. Long Qianqian stood there, not knowing whether to return or enter.
Xuan Le stood behind her, and what he saw was not the radiant Long Henyang and Xuan Yu, but a woman with trembling shoulders. Even though he couldn't see her face, he could still imagine her expression at the moment.
Lonely and helpless, just like the night I first met her.
Long Qianqian stood there unable to move. She and Long Henyang were two people from different worlds. Even though they were not biological siblings, she still couldn't integrate into his world. He was too bright, and only an equally bright woman could be with him.
He stood side by side.
"Young Master Long, are you going to announce your engagement to Miss Xuan today?"
"Miss Xuan, someone has photographed Mr. Long a lot of tidbits earlier. What do you think about this?"
Those gossip media asked questions one after another, just to dig out the news value and ignored the reactions of the parties involved.
Long Henyang held Xuan Yu's hand harder and harder, but there was a smile on his face.
When Long Qianqian saw this appearance, he still described it in four words: sanctimonious.
"Sorry, I won't respond to any personal matters today."
Xuan Yu smiled and nodded apologetically, and the security of the Xuan family opened a clear path for them.
As the two approached each other, Long Qianqian felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly turned away.
She saw it, and saw Long Hen's bright eyes carrying the coldness of the Arctic ice directed towards the place where she stood.
