Chapter 694 Next Time

"Genting Palace", outdoor parking lot.

"Aren't you going to get off?"

Chen Ci turned her head to look at Gu Lianxing who suddenly took out a mirror and started looking at herself.

Gu Lianxing said casually while flattering herself: "No rush. If I go in now, everything won't even start. I'll have to keep putting on a fake smile and chatting with people I don't even know well. It's so awkward."

"Ah Ci, let me tell you, the young ladies and gentlemen's circle in Longcheng is actually quite boring. Everyone is so vain. But if you are calm and composed, then others will really look down on you. That's why I put so much effort on myself at Yuanyuan's birthday party."

"But in the end, it's because Yuanyuan and I have a good relationship. Mainly because my family's business and hers have been tied together for many years, so we kind of grew up together."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Chen Ci with a sweet smile: "Of course, I definitely like you the most, as well as Pili and Zhenzhen. When I'm with you, I never have to worry about these things. I can be as comfortable as I want."

As he was talking, a luxury car slowly stopped not far away, the back door opened, and a girl in a long dress with a long train got out of the car carrying a beautifully wrapped gift bag. Her upper body was still exposed with her shoulders. The temperature in Longcheng was now minus 20 degrees Celsius.

"Ah Ci, look, these people only care about grace and not warmth. They are all trying their best to show themselves off."

Chen Ci thought Lian Xing had fought hard enough, but she didn't expect there would be someone even crazier.

Those who knew thought they were here to attend the birthday party, while those who didn’t thought they were here to walk the red carpet.

She couldn't help but look down at her outfit today. Fortunately, it wasn't too casual. The black satin long skirt paired with a Chanel-style women's retro suit jacket was simple and elegant.

She also put on heavy makeup today and finally overcame her inner discomfort, letting Gu Lianxing do long wavy curls for her.

The whole person is in control, cool, noble, and full of aura.

"Oh my god, Ah Ci Ah Ci, look..."

Lian Xing suddenly exclaimed and excitedly grabbed Chen Ci's arm, but when Chen Ci looked up curiously, he only saw a back.

"Uncle Jiang, move forward quickly!" Lian Xing urged.

Uncle Jiang restarted the car and moved forward a little. Lian Xing stared intently until she saw the two people again and exclaimed, "Aci, Li Xiao, is that Li Xiao?"

Shen Ci took a look and was sure at a glance that it was Li Xiao without a doubt.

And the girl next to him was, as expected, the "silly lady" from the Qiu family.

"It's him."

Lian Xing looked at Chen Ci hesitantly and found that she was calm as if she was just a passerby, without any ripples.

"Why is he here? I don't remember Yuanyuan and Li Xiao having any connection! And this guy has been gone for over a year, how come he suddenly shows up again?" Lian Xing suddenly felt unlucky and said dissatisfiedly, "If I had known I would run into him, I wouldn't have dragged you here."

"Why don't you come?" Chen Ci looked at his face, a smile on his lips: "It's not me who should be afraid and hiding, and I met him once a few days ago, also here."

"Have you seen him?" Lian Xing asked quickly, "He didn't bother you, did he?"

"No, he's just pretending to be a decent person. And haven't you noticed that he has a new target now?"

After saying that, Shen Ci glanced at the "Baby's Breath" on his wrist and said, "Let's not wait any longer. We're already at our doorstep. It's not appropriate to wait outside and not go in."

At your own doorstep?

"Aci, what do you mean?"

Chen Ci opened the car door and looked back with a smile: "Literally, this place has been acquired by me. It won't be long before it will be under my name just like Shuiyunjian."

"Oh my god!" Lian Xing covered her mouth excitedly: "How many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

The birthday party was held in the Supreme Hall on the banquet hall floor. The entire space had been decorated in advance, and there were huge flower standees placed in the hall, wishing Miss Yuanyuan a happy birthday.

"Yuanyuan!"

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, they met the birthday boy standing at the door.

Lianxing rushed forward to hug the other person with excitement. Chenci smiled and after the two of them hugged each other, he also politely hugged Yuanyuan.

"Chen Ci, I'm so glad you can come. I was embarrassed to call you directly, so I asked Lian Xing to invite you." Yuanyuan looked at Chen Ci and smiled. While speaking, the corner of her eyes had already taken in Chen Ci's look today.

I have to say that she is in really great shape. This outfit may look simple, but she can wear it with full charm, and she looks extremely sexy.

Shen Ci handed over the gift directly. She didn't know what was inside because Lian Xing prepared it for her.

She didn't like wasting her energy on unnecessary people, and she came here today purely for Lian Xing.

"Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

Lian Xing also hurriedly said: "And mine, and mine!"

Yuanyuan accepted the gift and put it on the table that was already piled with gifts: "Then you go in first, there are food and drinks, don't be polite, especially you, Chen Ci."

"OK."

After a brief encounter, Chen Ci and Lian Xing entered the banquet hall together.

When a new person appears, he or she will naturally attract curious glances from those who arrived earlier.

Apart from Lianxing's birthday, this was the first time that Chen Ci appeared at such an occasion, an occasion where almost all the rich young masters of Longcheng's upper class were present.

And she was obviously a newcomer, at least most people didn't recognize her.

The gazes cast at her were of different kinds, some were filled with "amazement" and "interest" from the boys, and some were filled with "scrutiny" and "curiosity" from the girls.

Shen Ci is completely immune.

The journey from getting off the car to walking into the hall was really cold, and she just wanted to have a drink to warm herself up, so after entering the hall, she directly took two glasses of "tequila" from the tray held by the waiter and drank them all.

And among the crowd, there were also people who knew Shen Ci.

“Shen Ci!”

With an excited call, Gu Yunzhou jumped and rushed to Chen Ci: "Damn, long time no see!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but observe Shen Ci's current state with admiration: "You are getting more and more beautiful!"

"Brother, can you please stop looking at Ah Ci with such lustful eyes? She has a boyfriend now." Gu Lianxing rolled her eyes when she saw her cousin and reminded him to keep his distance from Chen Ci.

"Is it the same policeman as before?" Gu Yunzhou asked.

Chen Ci didn't have any particularly bad impression of Gu Yunzhou, it was just that Lian Xing always spoke ill of her brother in front of her.

She smiled and said, "That's all outdated. It's already been changed!"

"Tsk!" Gu Yunzhou glared with regret after hearing this: "Why didn't you notify me?"

Shen Ci: “Next time, next time for sure.”
