Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Just break up.
The scene seemed to be frozen by his powerful oppressive feeling, and you could hear a pin drop.
This was Lu Yanxiao's place, and everyone attending the cocktail party knew it. He hated anyone who acted rashly in his place. A few months ago, someone got drunk and behaved inappropriately at his party. Lu Yanxiao doused them with ice water and gave them two choices: bankrupt their company or jump from a three-story building.
Everyone still remembers vividly the scene of the man jumping down the stairs trembling.
This was precisely why Wu Xinyue was worried that Lin Mo would cause her trouble at the club. She couldn't afford to offend Lu Yanxiao, a living devil. She was terrified, clutching Xu Tingzhou's hand and trembling.
After a few seconds of hesitation, a plan suddenly popped up in his mind. He pointed at Lin Mo and took the initiative: "Boss Xiao, this person came to the club to cause trouble. We wanted to stop her and ask her to leave, but she was being unreasonable and refused to leave..."
Wu Xinyue said this tremblingly and looked at Lu Yanxiao, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye, her eyes wavering in panic.
The ceiling light cast a cold white light. The man narrowed his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids. In an instant, the coldness was hidden, replaced by an elusive evil smile.
"Kongying's people?" Lu Yanxiao loosened his collar and asked Wang Qian casually.
"Yes, boss, it's Wu Xinyue, the daughter of Kongying Wu Zhengquan."
Lu Yanxiao didn't glance at Wu Xinyue from beginning to end. He unbuttoned his cuffs slowly and glanced at Xu Tingzhou who was still sitting on the ground. He said nothing. Although he was smiling, his expression was inexplicably frightening, like the silence before a rainstorm.
Wu Xinyue was so scared that she took the initiative to introduce him: "Boss Xiao, he is my fiancé Xu Tingzhou."
"Your fiancé?"
Lu Yanxiao asked this question in a calm tone, and he didn't look angry at all. Wu Xinyue was overjoyed. Did this mean that this living devil wouldn't vent his anger on her for the sake of her father?
Wu Xinyue quickly replied attentively: "Yes, he is here to attend your cocktail party as my male companion. He has always admired you and came today hoping to have the opportunity to meet you."
"Did I misunderstand?"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Xu Tingzhou explained with a smile. He pulled Wu Xinyue's arm and was about to stand up, but the man in front of him pressed his shoulders down again.
Lu Yanxiao still smiled: "Should I apologize to you?"
"No, no, it's okay. It's just a slight fall. It's nothing serious."
Xu Tingzhou smiled and tried to stand up again.
This time, Lu Yanxiao did not take action. The bodyguard next to him pushed Xu Tingzhou back to the ground, leaving him no room to move.
"Boss Xiao——"
Wu Xinyue's face turned pale. In just a few seconds, countless possible ways for Lu Yanxiao to retaliate popped up in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she grabbed Xu Tingzhou and asked him for help.
This was Xu Tingzhou's first time encountering the world of fame and fortune among the wealthy. Although he had heard about Lu Yanxiao's methods before, he had never witnessed them with his own eyes. Still clinging to a lucky mentality, he raised his head and defended himself: "Boss Xiao, this really has nothing to do with us, it's her!"
Xu Tingzhou pointed at Lin Mo and said, "She came to your place to cause trouble. Xinyue and I tried to stop her, but she forced her way in. That's why we had a minor fight. Everyone present can testify that she definitely didn't have an invitation."
Everyone then turned their attention back to Lin Mo.
The girl had taken a half step back at some point and was now leaning against the pillar with her hands in the pockets of her milky white coat. She looked calm and composed, as if the scene before her had nothing to do with her and she was watching the show leisurely.
Xu Tingzhou shouted urgently, "Lin Mo, why don't you tell President Xiao quickly—ah!"
The word "apology" was choked back by the severe pain on the back of his hand. Lu Yanxiao was wearing black leather shoes, and the hard soles of his shoes stepped on the back of his hand, causing him excruciating pain. Xu Tingzhou wanted to pull his hand back, but he couldn't.
Everyone present gasped, and no one dared to stop it.
Lu Yanxiao suppressed his smile, the coldness in his eyes as sharp as a knife, slashing at Xu Tingzhou word by word: "Lin Mo, she is my guest. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop her?"
Xu Tingzhou and Wu Xinyue's faces froze. They looked at Lin Mo in disbelief, then at each other. They had no time to doubt themselves. The fear had already suffocated them. They realized that they were in great danger.
However, Lu Yanxiao did not take any further action. He moved his feet and walked towards Lin Mo as if no one was around. He stretched out a hand to her. In a flash, the coldness on his face disappeared, and there was a purity on his face that others had never seen before.
In fact, Lin Mo was not completely standing idly by and watching the show.
At first, she was speechless at Wu Xinyue and Xu Tingzhou's lack of understanding. She thought Lu Yanxiao's arrival would reveal the truth and calm the situation. But that wasn't the case. Lu Yanxiao's arrival seemed to exacerbate the conflict. She couldn't understand why everyone present was so afraid of him. In the few days she had interacted with him, he had always left a good impression on her.
But immediately, Lu Yanxiao's action of stepping on the back of Xu Tingzhou's hand as if nothing had happened made her vaguely understand the reason why everyone was afraid.
It's really scary.
In just a few minutes, Lin Mo's mentality was in turmoil, so much so that when Lu Yanxiao reached out his hand to her, she didn't know whether she didn't react for a moment or was frightened by his previous action, but she inexplicably put her hand on him.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Yanxiao's eyes, but then he regained his composure and grasped the girl's fair and soft hand.
When they entered the box, their hands were still tightly held together.
Lin Mo was embarrassed and annoyed, not knowing what had happened to her at that moment.
She seriously suspected that Lu Yanxiao had only extended his hand as a "please" gesture, and she had taken it like she was sick. So, Lu Yanxiao had been surprised, but because so many people were watching, he didn't want to embarrass her, so he didn't push her away. The more she thought about it, the hotter her face became. She was now regretting it like crazy.
The moment the box door closed, Lin Mo quickly let go of her hand and moved to the side, creating a small distance between herself and Lu Yanxiao.
"Mr. Lu, I'll return your phone to you."
The girl's fine eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheeks were lightly pink. Lu Yanxiao was a little dazed, and the remaining warmth in his palm made him linger, so he actually ignored the mobile phone she handed over.
Lin Mo became even more uneasy, wondering if Lu Yanxiao was speechless or angry because of her, so she bit the bullet and called out, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yanxiao regained consciousness, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Sorry."
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, guessing that Lu Yanxiao's apology might be because he felt that it was because he asked her to come to the club that she discovered Xu Tingzhou and Wu Xinyue's affair. Then she shook her head and said, "It's okay. I knew about their affair a long time ago. We've broken up."
"Break up?"
"Yes, that was the day I met you at the airport."
Lu Yanxiao nodded thoughtfully, and murmured to himself, "It's good to break up."
"What did you say?" Lin Mo didn't hear clearly.
Lu Yanxiao coughed lightly, his expression returning to normal: "What would you like to drink?"
"No, I'll just give you my phone back and leave."
"Are you sure you want to leave now?" Lu Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a hint of meaning.
Lin Mo was puzzled.
Lu Yanxiao raised his wrist and glanced at it, tapping the dial of his watch twice with his fingertips: "Is this the guest I invited, who only stayed in for less than two minutes?"
Lin Mo understood.
She was the "guest" announced by Lu Yanxiao in public. Leaving now would be somewhat disrespectful to him. No matter what the reason was, he had indeed helped her just now, and she couldn't refuse him.
"Then let's have some purified water." Lin Mo took off her backpack and sat down on the sofa.
Lu Yanxiao took a bottle of water from the table and unscrewed the cap before handing it to her. He then sat down on the sofa opposite her, casually glancing at the screen covering the entire wall, and said to her, "You can sing and watch a movie."
The box was designed in an avant-garde style, like a large space capsule with blue, black and white as the main colors. There were only two of them in the cabin, and they were not very familiar with each other. They just sat there, and the atmosphere was awkward. Perhaps playing some music could ease the mood a little.
Lin Mo curled her lips: "Okay, I'll go take a look."
The operating screen was standing in front of the big screen, and Lin Mo pushed a soft stool over and sat down.
Her slender fingers lit up the operating screen, but for some reason the text on the screen was switched to French mode. She could only understand a few of the characters out of a large crowd. Anyway, it was just to add some sound adjustment, so she simply guessed while groping around.
I didn't want to miss a beat, but instead of clicking the song, I switched the lights in the private room through several different modes. One moment, the colored lights on the ceiling were swaying, the next moment, the floor lamps were emitting blue beams that filled the room, and the next moment, the geometric-shaped wall lamps on three walls were all lit up...
She just doesn't believe that she can't handle a small operating screen!
Lin Mo rolled up her sleeves and secretly competed with herself.
Her fingertips slid across the control panel again. Suddenly, there was a click, and the entire room was plunged into darkness. She had actually turned off the power in the entire room! Only the light from the control panel could barely illuminate the small corner in front of her.
It's so embarrassing!
I feel like I'm dancing at Young Master Lu's sensitive spot.
Lin Mo subconsciously looked towards the sofa area. Lu Yanxiao was clearly looking at his phone just now, but now there was no light in the sofa area. Nothing could be seen in the darkness, as if there was danger lurking.
"Mr. Lu?"
Lin Mo called out cautiously, "That..."
The familiar wood agarwood approached, and the next moment, the man's figure disappeared into the light source. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional in the interweaving of light and dark. Lu Yanxiao had taken off his coat at some point. The white shirt made his skin look cold and white. The sleeves of the shirt were rolled up, revealing the smooth and tight lines of his arms. He bent his knees and half-knelt, and his bony hands operated on the screen.
The whole person looks like a character from a comic book.
Lin Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances. This guy must be what the young interns in the department often call a "male god."
"Have you seen enough?" Lu Yanxiao chuckled.
The lights in the room suddenly came on, and the girl was caught peeking.
"Ahem, sorry, I got distracted by my thoughts."
Lin Mo feigned a cough and forced a change of subject. "Why is the control panel in your private room in French? I can't even understand it. This will greatly reduce the customer experience."
Lu Yanxiao glanced sideways, looking at the pink on her fair cheeks, and inexplicably felt the urge to tease her: "Lin Mo?"
Lin Mo nodded and waited for his next words.
"Aren't you hot wearing such thick clothes?"
The heating in the box was turned on high, and it was actually hot, but the two of them were very close now, and taking off clothes in front of him, even if it was just a coat, would inevitably have a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
It’s really ambiguous!
Lin Mo realized another problem belatedly. Just now, Lu Yanxiao held her hand and walked into the box. Now the two of them were alone in the same room. This situation seemed even more ambiguous. The longer it lasted, the more people outside would speculate.
Lin Mo stood up hurriedly: "Then I'll go open the door."
The girl ran over quickly. As soon as the door opened, there were quite a few people standing outside. The boy in the front was still about to push the door open. He smiled and waved at her, "Boss Xiao, let us come in and play together."
"Oh, okay." Lin Mo stepped aside.
