When we met again, she was still the aloof princess, and he was still the waiter at the banquet.
In the golden hall of the six-star hotel, a grand birthday party was being held to celebrate Mint's seventeenth birthday.
Although her birthday has passed several days ago, her parents don't think so.
The house was full of guests, but no one was sincerely celebrating her birthday. Everyone wore false masks, spoke polite and decent words, and made boring but endless pleasantries.
Fortunately, she had seen such scenes a lot since she was a child, so she wasn't surprised at all.
She knows her identity very well, so she doesn't pretend to be rebellious. She sticks to her duties and does what she needs to do.
So at this moment, she is still a good girl, clinging to her parents, smiling, smiling, smiling again.
However, when her parents introduced her to one young man after another from aristocratic families, she finally couldn't laugh anymore.
She is only seventeen years old, is she already on the road to marriage?
"I'm sorry, I want to go to the dressing room. Excuse me." She excused herself, then lightly lifted her skirt and walked out of the magnificent hall.
After passing through the long corridor, she walked outside. The night air was slightly cooler, and a row of seven-mile incense pruned into wavy shapes quietly exuded its fragrance.
"Mint, why didn't you put on some clothes when you came out so late?" Someone suddenly approached slowly from behind.
Her delicate eyebrows frowned subconsciously, and she quickly turned around to dodge before a pair of big hands approached her.
Qiao Lijie, the young master of the Qiao family, was holding his coat in his hand, froze in mid-air awkwardly, and the gloomy color in his eyes flashed away.
As my cousin said, this mint is really difficult to handle!
Mint's beautiful makeup remained the same, but there was no emotion or anger in her tone, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qiao, I'll go in right away."
After saying that, she returned towards the hall.
"Mint, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I won't eat you!" Qiao Lijie blocked her way. He was smelling of alcohol, and his words became rude. The frivolous side of a young man from an aristocratic family was fully exposed.
A layer of frost appears on Mint's cool face. He is indeed Qiao Nawei's cousin, a good guy!
But he was one of the people her parents had just warmly introduced to her, and it was a key introduction!
Just because he has a net worth of tens of billions and is the chief heir to the Qiao family?
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of her beautiful lips.
Qiao Lijie deliberately took a few steps forward, almost forcing her to the flowers.
A whole row of quite tall seven-mile incense trees made this place look very dark and even more dangerous.
"Mint, I often hear Weiwei talking about you, can we have a chat?" He has been interested in her for a long time. How could he let her go so easily after finally seeing her today?
There are many beauties in the upper class, but she is not only beautiful, but also proud! But the more proud she is, the more he has the desire to conquer! Moreover, she is worth an astonishing amount!
"What are you talking about?" Mint was calm.
"Just talk casually, such as your hobbies and interests, what do you like?" His eyes were like a wild beast, coveting her slim figure.
"Shopping, beauty treatments, flower arranging, etc." She answered calmly, referring to the same hobbies of wealthy ladies, but at the end, she added, "Raising little pets."
"I heard that girls who like to keep little pets are very gentle and kind." Qiao Lijie came closer to her.
There was still no trace of panic on Mint's cool face, "Do you want to see my little pet? I brought it here today."
"It's an honour."
Mint raised his hand, formed a circle with his thumb and index finger, put it to his lips and blew gently, a crisp whistle sounded, and within three seconds, a snow-white dog sprang out from nowhere.
"Xiao Bai, say hello to Mr. Qiao." She said with a smile.
"Roar——" The tall and mighty German Shepherd showed its ferocious fangs at Qiao Lijie.
"No, I'm sorry, I have something else to do. Let's go first!" Qiao Lijie ran away. She also called her little pet? She was almost taller than him when she stood up!
"Xiao Bai is so good!" Mint stroked the big dog's head with satisfaction.
"Would you like to reward it with a bone?" a pleasant male voice came from far away.
She turned around when she heard the voice, Guan Shouheng!
