Qin Huan didn't expect to meet Ji Jingya here.
She stood up and straightened her wrinkled skirt.
"Miss Ji."
Ji Jingya nodded, with a faint smile on her lips.
"From a distance, it looks like you. Didn't Team Leader Qin go back to England? When did he come back?"
Qin Huan twitched her lips lightly.
"Just got off the plane."
Ji Jingya said "Oh",
"Come stay here?"
Qin Huan didn't want to say it at first, but then she thought that talking to Jiang Jingchu was not something shameful, so there was no need to hide it, so she just told him the truth.
"No, I have something to do with Mr. Jiang, and he asked me to wait for him here."
Ji Jingya had a premonition that this would happen, and nodded. Just as she was about to turn around, she thought of something and said to Qin Huan,
"If it's urgent, I can take you in, otherwise you'll have to wait a while."
Qin Huan heard this and her mind moved.
"Is it convenient?"
She had been waiting here for a long time and sent a message to Jiang Jingchu but he didn't reply.
It would be great if Ji Jingya could take me in.
"It's not inconvenient. It's just an ordinary party. There are a lot of people inside. No one will notice you."
Qin Huan didn't think much about it. After expressing her gratitude, she followed Ji Jingya into the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was magnificent and bustling with people. Everywhere you looked, you saw men and women wearing very formal evening gowns and suits, just like Ji Jingya.
Qin Huan spotted Jiang Jingchu in the crowd at first sight. His superior height and unique aura made him stand out among the other men in suits and with extraordinary temperament.
Ji Jingya followed Qin Huan's gaze, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly when she saw Jiang Jingchu.
"He probably can't leave right now, so why don't you eat something on the side and wait for him."
Qin Huan noticed the subtle change in Ji Jingya's expression, which was the shyness of a woman when she saw her beloved man.
"Miss Ji, don't worry about me. I will act according to the situation later."
She knew that the people who were talking to Jiang Jingchu were the most powerful people in North City.
Originally, it was not good enough for her to sneak into the banquet hall without Jiang Jingchu's knowledge. If she rashly ran to Jiang Jingchu and told him about the company's affairs, she was worried that it would backfire and anger Jiang Jingchu.
Ji Jingya did not refuse.
After she left, Qin Huan quietly walked to a corner covered by green plants and sat down, thinking that she would go find Jiang Jingchu when he was alone.
This was the first time Qin Huan saw Jiang Jingchu at a business social event. He was very willing to accept advice, had a noble demeanor, and his every move and gesture fully demonstrated the attitude of a superior.
Qin Huan was watching intently when someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
She was so scared that she turned around and saw that it was Cheng Shuyun.
"Mrs. Liu!"
Cheng Shuyun was obviously more surprised by the other party's appearance than Qin Huan.
She quietly sat down next to Qin Huan and asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Huan, why are you here?"
Qin Huan thought about how she and Jiang Jingchu had pretended to be a couple in front of Cheng Shuyun and her husband, and thought about the wording for a while.
"I came here to find Jingchu."
Cheng Shuyun's expression was slightly surprised.
"Come here to see Mr. Jiang?"
She glanced around.
"Xiao Huan, you're a bit too brave. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Qin Huan's eyes were slightly stunned, not understanding why she was so brave.
"Why should I be afraid of being discovered?"
Cheng Shuyun always thought that Qin Huan was the woman that Jiang Jingchu found outside without Ji Jingya's knowledge.
Now, Qin Huan actually ran to Ji Jingya's father's birthday party to find Jiang Jingchu in public. What's the difference between this and a mistress showing off in front of the wife?
In her heart, she still favored Qin Huan, fearing that a quarrel would break out and Qin Huan would be bullied alone. She could only ask her tentatively,
"You know that Mr. Ji's birthday party is being held here today, right?"
"Boss Ji? Birthday party?"
Cheng Shuyun saw Qin Huan's expression and saw that she didn't understand the situation at all. She couldn't help but feel anxious for her.
"Ji Jingya's father, today is his sixtieth birthday."
Qin Huan was surprised when she heard this. She glanced around the venue and noticed a large booth in the center.
A glittering champagne tower was placed on the booth table, and there was a conspicuous birthday cake on the cart next to it.
She thought Jiang Jingchu was just attending an ordinary business banquet, but she didn't expect that he was here to celebrate the birthday of her future father-in-law.
If she had known this, she would never have come in no matter what.
Cheng Shuyun also noticed Qin Huan's surprised expression, and guessed that she really didn't know the situation, so she tugged at her sleeve.
"Xiao Huan, hurry up and leave before anyone notices. If you have anything to say, wait until President Jiang leaves.
Qin Huan also felt that it was inconvenient to discuss YJ Company's affairs with Jiang Jingchu in such an occasion.
Just as I was about to stand up, the venue suddenly became quiet.
A man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a suit and looking energetic, slowly walked to the champagne tower and raised his hand to everyone.
"Everyone, I'm very happy that you can take the time out of your busy schedule to come and attend Mr. Ji's 60th birthday."
After hearing Ji's father's speech, everyone in the venue moved and gathered at the front of the venue.
At this time, if Qin Huan moved again, it would undoubtedly be too conspicuous, so she had to restrain herself for the time being.
After Father Ji finished his final remarks, he smiled and glanced at the center of the crowd.
"Now, please ask my precious daughter Jingya and her fiancé Jingchu to come up and help me cut the first piece of the birthday cake."
Jiang Jingchu was a little absent-minded at this time, observing his surroundings calmly.
Gao Fei just came to report that Qin Huan was brought to the venue by Ji Jingya.
He scanned the crowd in the venue but didn't see the familiar figure.
At this time, Ji Jingya beside him pulled his hand, indicating that everyone was looking at them.
Jiang Jingchu finally came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his lips, and he stepped forward with Ji Jingya.
One must always save face in front of others. Ji Jingya had just informed Jiang Jingchu in advance about cutting the cake with her.
Jiang Jingchu felt that since the two of them were in a relationship of mutual help, he had to always take Ji Jingya's face into consideration.
But at this moment, knowing that Qin Huan was present, he felt inexplicably repulsed.
Ji Jingya was holding the knife to cut the cake, and Jiang Jingchu was beside her, holding Ji Jingya's hand lightly. In the eyes of outsiders, Tan Lang and Xie Hua were a match made in heaven.
When Qin Huan saw such a harmonious picture, a strong sense of bitterness suddenly surged in her heart.
She remembered the first piece of cake Jiang Jingchu cut for her on her twentieth birthday.
She recalled the time when Jiang Jingchu would hug her from behind and make a wish with her on her birthday every year...
Especially when the cake was cut, Ji Jingya and Jiang Jingchu smiled at each other amid the applause of the audience, the sour feeling instantly reached its peak.
Qin Huan could no longer control her facial expression at this time, and her slightly red eyes stared straight at the perfect couple on the stage.
Jiang Jingchu seemed to sense something, and his eyes, as black as obsidian, suddenly locked onto Qin Huan across the crowd, staring at her quietly.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and it seemed as if only the two of them were left in the whole world.
People around him kept complimenting Jiang Jingchu and Ji Jingya, but Jiang Jingchu didn't hear a word. He moved his feet and just wanted to walk to Qin Huan.
However, the next moment, Qin Huan suddenly withdrew her gaze and ran out resolutely.
Jiang Jingchu became anxious and took a few steps forward, but his arms were restrained by something.
He turned around and looked into Ji Jingya's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.
"The party isn't over yet, where are you going?"
Jiang Jingchu frowned, grabbed Ji Jingya's wrist and pushed it down hard. Ji Jingya's slender white hand slid down and she seemed to be unable to stand steadily and swayed twice.
"Sorry, I have to leave for something."
Jiang Jingchu left this sentence, nodded slightly to Ji's father who was not far away, and then quickly chased after the figure that had disappeared.
Qin Huan ran all the way to the hotel lobby before gradually slowing down.
The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she felt. She had done nothing wrong, but ended up running away in a panic.
Suddenly, there was a sound of steady footsteps behind her. Just as Qin Huan was about to turn around, her wrist was suddenly grasped by a strong hand.
The familiar cold pine scent filled his nose. Jiang Jingchu panted slightly, his tone was very bad.
"Why are you running?"
