As soon as Ye Chu entered the main venue of the ball, his eyes immediately began to search for Xiao Beichen, but the lights of the ball were all warm colors, so it was somewhat difficult to find someone.

Ye Chu originally thought that wherever Xiao Beichen was, he would be the focus, and it would be easy to find him.

However, at this moment, the entire venue did not have a lively position from the focus, and all the dignitaries and celebrities present were chatting and laughing elegantly and calmly.

"Looking for Xiao Beichen?" Lu Yunze's gentle voice came softly.

Ye Chu raised his head slightly and smiled, "Yeah."

Lu Yunze smiled gently as usual, and looked to the right, "Xiao Beichen is over there."

Ye Chu immediately looked over.

Sure enough.

On the elegant seat at the end, Xiao Beichen and Yang Xiao sat side by side, and Yang Xiao smiled coquettishly and talked to Xiao Beichen.

From Ye Chu's perspective, he could only see Xiao Beichen's profile, and he didn't know what expression Xiao had.

But just by looking at him, he could feel the atmosphere of the handsome man and beautiful woman, and there were many envious eyes around them, intentionally or unintentionally sweeping towards the two of them.

Ye Chu immediately felt jealous, and withdrew his gaze somewhat unhappily.

"I heard that when Xiao Beichen first came in, it was very lively, but Xiao Beichen had no interest in socializing and has been sitting there until now, and no one else dared to disturb him."

Lu Yunze said with a smile.

Ye Chu was still feeling jealous, and said softly, "Yeah."

Lu Yunze looked at her, still smiling gently, and said, "Shall we sit here?"

"Okay." Ye Chu responded, and took Lu Yunze's arm and walked to the left.

After taking a few steps, they heard a low cry.

Without looking, you can tell that the people around her noticed that she and Lu Yunze came together.

She looked up.

Sure enough.

The noble ladies around her all froze at this moment, looking at Ye Chu and Lu Yunze in surprise, and some of them even opened their mouths slightly and forgot to close them.

"Ye Chu is back?"

"Just back? He showed up with Lu Yunze as soon as he came back?"

One of the couples reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people followed suit, and then as if infected, in the blink of an eye everyone in the audience noticed Ye Chu and Lu Yunze.

The whole audience was strangely frozen and surging.

"Sit down." Lu Yunze seemed not to notice the undercurrents of scrutiny around him, and pulled out a chair for Ye Chu like a gentleman.

"Thank you." Ye Chu smiled lightly in response, and sat down gracefully, also turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

Lu Yunze smiled warmly and sat down next to her.

The wealthy and famous ladies who were watching the show pretended to be normal, and their eyes looked at Lu Yunze and Ye Chu, and at Xiao Beichen and Yang Xiao.

Perhaps everyone was too excited to watch the show, and no one came to talk to Lu Yunze.

Lu Yunze was happy to be free, and chatted with Ye Chu in his own world. At

the other end of the private room.

Qiao Sen walked to Xiao Beichen with a sweet heart and whispered, "Young Master, Miss Ye is here."

President Xiao, with an indifferent and sharp expression, immediately turned his head to search outside, and easily saw Ye Chu and Lu Yunze, and then frowned slightly.

When Yang Xiao heard Ye Chu's name, she was already stunned, and turned her head to look, and then her delicate face changed slightly.

Is it really Ye Chu?

... How could the woman who threw her out of the Linhai Villa last night look so much like Ye Chu? !

In an instant, Yang Xiao's head seemed to be struck by thunder.

It's Ye Chu!

I didn't think of it before, let alone notice it, but now I see that Ye Chu is the woman last night!

Great!

Ye Chu, this vixen, actually came back to the capital without saying a word and followed President Xiao!

Do we need to guess what was the intention of throwing Yang Xiao out last night after seeing President Xiao drunk? This vixen must have done something with President Xiao last night! She snatched away the opportunity that belonged to her, Yang Xiao!

Now she has chased President Xiao here! ?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao's eyes quickly flashed with anger.

She would never let that vixen Ye Chu succeed! President Xiao tonight belongs to her, Yang Xiao!

At this time, Xiao Beichen slowly retracted his gaze, picked up the magazine on the table and started reading.

Yang Xiao looked at Xiao Beichen calmly, feeling relieved and secretly proud.

So what if Ye Chu took advantage of the alcohol to commit a crime against President Xiao? Now President Xiao is just ignoring it? What does this mean? This shows that Mr. Xiao doesn't care about Ye Chu at all!

Qiao Sen, on the other side, didn't have the boldness and confidence of Yang Xiao at all.

Qiao Sen looked at his young master who didn't change his expression, and he was panicking in his heart.

The calm before the storm!

What if the young master gets jealous and goes berserk?

Qiao Sen's eyes rolled, and he decisively decided to divert the young master's attention, whispering: "Young master, a few reporters just embarrassed Miss Ye outside the door."

Yang Xiao immediately curled his lips in disdain, and just wanted to say that Ye Chu deserved it, but he saw Xiao Beichen move.

Xiao Beichen glanced at Qiao Sen, and there was obviously a rebuke in his eyes.

In Yang Xiao's eyes, Xiao Beichen was accusing Qiao Sen of meddling in other people's business.

Yang Xiao was immediately overjoyed and was about to speak out against Ye Chu again to show his presence.

Qiao Sen glanced at Yang Xiao with a warning, and then said to Xiao Beichen, "I will immediately arrange for those reporters to roll down their posts."

Yang Xiao's eyes widened.

Xiao Beichen once again read the magazine indifferently.

Qiao Sen gave Yang Xiao a look that looked like he was an idiot, and then decisively went out to arrange the fate of those reporters.

Yang Xiao's face was burning with pain.

Who is Qiao Sen, and what does he represent? Who in the entire imperial capital doesn't know him? And Qiao Sen's attitude just now was that he treated Ye Chu as the real boss!

Yang Xiao looked at Ye Chu's position in disbelief and reluctance.

Over there.

Ye Chu and Lu Yunze had finished chatting about family matters, and inevitably started talking about more serious topics.

Lu Yunze smiled and said, "I thought you would avoid appearing with me like before."

Ye Chu smiled, "Why?"

Lu Yunze: "For example, if you came here for Xiao Beichen tonight and came in with me, you would definitely think that you were using me and would not be willing to do it."

Ye Chu smiled calmly, "Do you mind?"

Lu Yunze smiled very comfortably, "I am happy to do so."

The two smiled and looked at each other silently.

Lu Yunze looked deeply into Ye Chu's eyes, "You have changed a lot in the past three years."

Ye Chu said, "Actually, you are still the same."

Lu Yunze chuckled and shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "No matter what, it's fine."

Ye Chu smiled but said nothing.

Lu Yunze said seriously: "If we can't be lovers, we don't have to stop being friends. As long as we don't cross the line, it's fine, don't you think?"

Ye Chu smiled frankly: "I was too hypocritical and harsh before."

The two smiled at each other again.

It seemed that something was silently dissolved between the two, and it seemed that something was finalized.

Lu Yunze appeared to be flawless on the surface, but in fact he was always bitter in his heart.

He still had feelings for her, but these three years were enough for him to think a lot of things clearly. He had to admit that Ye Chu was really not attracted to him, and continuing to pursue and compete would only increase her psychological burden.

Lu Yunze didn't want to bring her any unhappiness, so... he stood behind her and protected her.
