That night, a faint fragrance floated in the air.
The banquet was held every two years at the most luxurious hotel in central Continent M. The guests were all children of prominent families in the circle, with only one purpose -
Let the younger generation show their faces, make more connections, and make it easier for them to take over the family business in the future.
It was only six o'clock, and the hotel parking lot was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Reduce your speed significantly, keep your eyes on all directions, and try hard to find a parking space.
Eric sat in the car, glanced at the person next to him, and complained, "Look, I told you to hurry up, but you didn't believe me."
After one round of the game ended, An Ci continued playing another, saying nonchalantly, "If you can't find a parking space, then don't join. I'll treat you to some skewers."
Anyway, these kinds of parties are always boring.
Eric took a look at the high-end custom-made suits the two men were wearing, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched. "You're going to eat barbecue dressed like this?"
"Is it not possible?" An Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Eric had an expression that said, "I'm impressed," and said, "Okay, after the banquet, you can go and have some skewers like this."
While the two were chatting, Dali also found a parking space and parked the car. The three of them got out of the car and walked into the hotel together.
Eric watched her immersed in the world of Landlord and nudged her with his elbow. "I say, can you please stop playing?"
She is the one who has a strong addiction to food.
"No." An Ci stared at her phone, so engrossed that anyone who didn't know her would think she was trying to solve some world-class problem. "I've already lost to my sister and Song Yuan several times. I have to win this round back."
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened.
Eric ignored her and walked out of the elevator, with An Ci following slowly behind him.
Suddenly, a crisp voice floated over.
"Goodbye."
An Ci looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cui Mingzhu running towards her in a lake blue dress. Her face was as rosy as a rose, her eyes were smiling, and she looked childish, yet a bit cute and lovely.
An undoubted beauty.
However, at this moment, An Ci just wanted to escape from the spot.
Cui Mingzhu greeted Eric, and the next second, her eyes were glued to An Ci, "An Ci, why are you here so late? I thought you weren't coming."
An Ci smiled faintly, "I was delayed looking for a parking space."
Eric glanced at her. It was obvious that she was late because she dawdled outside.
An Ci changed the subject, "Why aren't you standing at the door?"
"Waiting for you." Cui Mingzhu always speaks directly.
"Did you two make an appointment?" Eric glanced at Cui Mingzhu and then at An Ci, a teasing smile on his face. "You're dressed like a couple."
"Really?" Cui Mingzhu's eyes lit up and she looked at Eric excitedly, "Do we look like a couple?"
An Ci was stunned for a few seconds, glanced at Cui Mingzhu's dress, and slowly realized the purpose of her phone call today.
Eric said seriously, "Kind of."
"Can you please stop making trouble?" An Ci grabbed Eric and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Eric suppressed his laughter and jokingly said, "The girls are so proactive, why don't you take the initiative too?"
An Ci bent his elbow and bumped him, "Lord, you're the only one with a big mouth."
Eric dodged sideways and smiled meaningfully, "I'll go in first, you two can chat slowly."
After saying that, he walked into the banquet hall without looking back.
Anci, "..."
Damn, is he so disloyal?
Cui Mingzhu looked at her expectantly and asked openly, "An Ci, my friends all brought their male companions. Can you be mine?"
An Ci had no choice but to turn off her phone. She nodded and said, "Let's go."
Cui Mingzhu showed a look of joy and directly reached out to hold An Ci's arm. Out of politeness, An Ci did not struggle and walked towards the banquet hall.
Dali followed quietly behind.
Most of the guests had arrived. An Ci was one of the latecomers. She walked into the banquet hall with Cui Mingzhu and instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.
I have heard for a long time that the young master of the An family has an extraordinary face, but An Ci has rarely appeared in public in recent years, and rarely participated in banquets, so everyone's impression of her is still stuck on the Huo family banquet a few years ago. Unexpectedly, after five years, that face that was naturally beautiful has become even more refined, so beautiful that it is difficult to tell whether it is male or female.
Especially when she smiles, it makes people feel that the whole world is brighter.
In comparison, Cui Mingzhu looked a little dull standing next to her.
An Ci had long since mastered the skill of remaining calm in the face of the gazes from those around her. She looked around, intending to find a place to hide and relax.
Unexpectedly, a wave of people suddenly rushed over here.
Someone greeted her, "Young Master An, long time no see."
An Ci smiled and nodded.
It’s been a long time since I last saw you. I’ve never seen you before.
Another person said, "Master An, we met at the scene during the last peerless competition. Do you remember?"
An Ci glanced at him, but had no impression of him.
But it seemed impolite to say directly that she didn't remember, so she nodded again.
"Mingzhu, it turns out that your male companion is Young Master An. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" A friend of Cui Mingzhu joked.
