Chapter 299 His gaze followed me like a shadow

The man used his body as a cushion, his arms as a wall, and his chest as a fortress, instantly building an impenetrable battlefield for her, sparing her the humiliating moment of running naked.

Su Youling's body stiffened inch by inch, and she could immediately confirm his presence and scent without even turning around.

Five years of deliberate absence, five years of intentional indifference, five years of deliberate forgetting...

But his scent was etched deep into her bones; whenever she got close, those buried memories and intimacy would rush to surface.

Completely out of her control!

Li Tingxi—he's at the banquet tonight too!

Su Youling's expression was a mix of thoughts, almost blinded by the flying clay, thinking it was just a long illusion caused by the changing light and shadow.

The heavy breathing behind my ear was clearly audible, containing too many complex emotions—anger, longing, desire, obsession, confinement, and pleading…

Li Tingxi is a beast lurking in the jungle, having secretly watched for a long time, and now he has finally taken control of the prey he has been waiting for.

The force binding her arms almost tore Su Youling apart.

It's her, no doubt about it!

That soul-shaking, tearing sensation—it can't be wrong.

He finally found her.

Su Su is not dead; she is alive and well.

Lost and found, ecstasy arrived as expected.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Li Tingxi would have wanted to kiss her lips hard, using his body's primal reaction to confirm that this wasn't just a fleeting dream.

The brief physical entanglement felt like an eternity to both of them.

The audience gasped in astonishment, while chaos erupted on stage.

Grandma Lu and Lu Mingxuan, who rushed onto the stage, hurriedly tried to pull Su Youling up. Karina approached Li Tingxi with a jealous look on her face, wanting to speak but not daring to disturb him.

The waiter scrambled to his feet and apologized. Old Master Lu immediately ordered people to clean up the scene, while Lu Niao stared furiously at the man and woman embracing on the ground, her eyes burning with jealousy.

Her plan was so perfect, but unexpectedly it ended up like this.

What a lucky slut Rebecca got to have such intimate contact with her dream man!

She's so angry!

She truly is a shameless slut, seducing wherever she goes.

"Rebecca, are you alright?" Lu Mingxuan was about to pull Su Youling up when he saw Li Tingxi stand up with Su Youling in his arms, turn around and skillfully drape his suit jacket over her shoulders, while holding her waist with one hand. "We're fine."

He glanced coldly at the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over Karina before settling on the waiters. "For such a grand banquet, doesn't the Lu family have any higher standards for its staff?"

Karina and the waiter both felt a chill run down their spines and immediately dared not approach, stammering in silence.

Lu Mingxuan's expression was not good, but what Li Tingxi said was true. Even if the 'accident' just now was the waiter's carelessness, it was still the Lu family's poor hospitality.

"Rebecca, your clothes are all dirty. Let me have someone take you upstairs to change." He subtly tried to push Li Tingxi aside.

But Su Youling had no choice but to stay close to Li Tingxi and not move.

Because the zipper was torn.

Li Tingxi's hand appeared to be around her waist, but in reality, he was holding her dress down to prevent it from slipping down.

She would be embarrassed if the two separated.

"Thank you very much then." Su Youling nodded, glancing at Old Madam Lu discreetly, silently pleading for help with her eyes.

Fortunately, the old lady was also shrewd. Noticing that her posture was wrong, she quickly came over and half-embraced Su Youling, glancing at Li Tingxi, "I'll take her to change her clothes."

Li Tingxi's hand didn't move for a moment, his intense gaze fixed on Su Youling, unwilling to let go for even a second.

This tight

Zhang's suffocating aura made everyone in the room realize that something was wrong.

“Tingxi…” Karina felt humiliated and empty inside, as if everyone around her was mocking her for not being able to keep her own man.

Despite her anger and jealousy, she maintained an elegant smile, stepped forward, grabbed Li Tingxi's arm, and said sincerely, "That was really close! Luckily, Tingxi acted quickly and saved Miss Rebecca in time, otherwise this little game would have made me feel ashamed and uneasy."

"Thank you. I'll go change my clothes first, so as not to disturb everyone's enjoyment." With her help, Su Youling calmly withdrew her arm, gave a brief thank you, and followed Grandma Lu away.

Li Tingxi's gaze followed her closely, like a burning fire, so intense it was almost unbearable.

Seeing her leave the booth, he paused, almost catching up with her.

“President Li!” Lu Mingxuan stopped him calmly, smiling as he said, “So many people are watching. You and Miss Karina represent Yitao Culture, so please be our final witnesses for this little event. Rebecca’s work hasn’t even been displayed yet.”

Karina gripped Li Tingxi's arm tightly and pleaded softly, "Tingxi..."

"Let go!" Li Tingxi calmly pulled his arm away and walked straight towards Su Youling's work, showing no respect to Karina whatsoever.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Li Tingxi would never slap her in the face in public like this. Why is he suddenly so stern? Did he just see her tear Su Youling's zipper?

...

Su Youling left abruptly, and the little incident was over.

Seeing that Li Tingxi didn't like Karina, Lu Niao was revitalized. With a shy smile, she walked straight to Li Tingxi's side and said, "Mr. Li, if you like these little trinkets, how about I give them to you as a gift?"

Works by Lu Niao and Su Youling

The tables were all facing the same direction, and when she saw Li Tingxi walking over, she naturally assumed that Li Tingxi was admiring her work.

After all, anyone with eyes that aren't blind wouldn't look at Su Youling, that dark, broken pot.

Unexpectedly, just as she picked up the tray, Li Tingxi walked straight to Su Youling's display table without looking at her, and looked at it thoughtfully for a moment.

Lu Niao's expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with disbelief.

How is that possible?

Could it be that Li Tingxi has also been bewitched by that vixen Rebecca?

She was about to take a step forward when Lu Mingxuan calmly pulled her back. "Enough! Don't try to win her over. She has no interest in you at all, can't you tell?"

"Uncle!"

"You can do whatever you want behind closed doors, but now that everyone's watching, don't embarrass the Lu family, or I won't be polite." Although Lu Mingxuan is usually gentle and gentlemanly, he can be quite frightening when he gets angry.

Lu Niao wasn't afraid of the old man and the old woman, but deep down she was somewhat afraid and wary of Lu Mingxuan, who was a man of his word. She pouted and stood aside unwillingly.

"That filthy woman made this garbage, and she even has the nerve to put it out for display?"

Lu Mingxuan frowned, but did not rebuke her for her lack of knowledge.

Although I don't understand what Su Youling is up to with this work, judging from my grandfather's eyes, this unassuming piece must have a lot of secrets.

Seeing everyone's attention refocused on Su Youling's work, Grandpa Lu also walked over with great interest, saying, "This little girl has some brilliant ideas. This old man can't wait to see them."

Just as he was about to pick up the lighter, Li Tingxi took it from him without hesitation and said indifferently, "Let me do it. You are a master, and it is not appropriate for you to bother with such a clumsy entertainment."

Old Master Lu was stunned for a moment.

The way he's saying this makes it sound like he's Rebecca's family.

Who is the host and who is the guest?
