Gu Xiaoai looked at him. Li Juesi looked at the mask on Gu Xiaoai's face and flicked it with interest, "Brother, why is your female companion wearing a mask?"
Can't he recognize her?
Gu Xiaoai looked at him intently.
But Li Juesi showed no sign of recognizing her. He was just curious about her mask and kept tapping on her mask.
Gu Xiaoai turned away, and Li Juexi's deep voice intervened, changing the subject without revealing any trace, "What is there about my female companion that you are curious about? Do you know what female companion my third brother will bring here today?"
Li Juefeng...
Gu Xiaoai's heart tightened and she sat frozen in her position motionless.
Li Juesi said eloquently, "Who else could it be, but his fiancée Luo Ya'er? In order to please his father, the third brother brought someone other than Luo Ya'er to any banquet?"
Royal?
fiancée?!
The face under the butterfly mask was pale. Gu Xiaoai looked at Li Juesi blankly, unable to believe what she heard.
Li Juexi's voice whispered in her ear, "I guarantee that today's banquet will make your trip worthwhile, and the truth you want to know will emerge in front of you."
"..."
Gu Xiaoai couldn't say a word.
"Has he never told you that he has a fiancée?" Li Juexi said in her ear again, "But don't worry, he didn't ask for it himself, it was his father who chose him. He wants to gain a foothold in the Li family.
To climb higher in the consortium, you must obey your father's orders."
This is the fate of their three brothers.
The three brothers are destined to be the playthings in the palm of their father's hands...
…
Gu Xiaoai no longer has the extra brain capacity to think about whether Li Juexi said these words as evil or good, and what his purpose was.
"You, the third young master of the Li family, must have had quite a few women around you in the past four years, right?"
"Me neither."
…
It turned out that those words were meant to coax her.
"Hey, brother, why do I think your female companion looks familiar?"
Li Juesi kept looking at Gu Xiaoai curiously, and finally realized something was wrong.
"The third young master has arrived——"
The receptionist's voice sounded again.
Gu Xiaoai raised her face and her hands on her knees froze.
Li Juefeng walked in from the door expressionlessly, wearing a formal suit that clung to his tall and straight figure, his hands hanging casually, and a catkin hugging his left arm.
Gu Xiaoai's heartbeat stopped for a moment.
"Have you seen that woman?" Li Juexi asked in her ear.
Gu Xiaoai's eyes moved upwards along the jade hand, it was a foreign girl.
She is very beautiful and young. Unlike ordinary foreign girls who have big frames, the girl has a small frame and a thin figure. Standing next to Li Juefeng, she looks like a bird.
Standard etiquette smile, standard walking manners.
"She is an American. I didn't remember her English name. Her Chinese name is Luo Ya'er. She is twenty-three years old. They... got engaged two years ago." Li Juexi said like a narrator, "This is just the first one.
The truth, how is it, exciting?"
There will be more exciting ones next, one after another...
Can she bear it?
…
Exciting, of course exciting.
She felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on her head, which chilled her to the core.
"If you want to come forward and question you now, I won't object." Li Juexi said.
Gu Xiaoai sat still and did not do anything. She just stared straight at Luo Yaer's hand holding Li Juefeng's arm. It was as if it was sticky and she couldn't move it away...
