Chapter 182 A Female Companion for Two

On the night of the banquet, Lin Xu followed Ji Tingyang to the venue.

Ji Tingyang took her to show off in front of Old Master Su. When the eldest young master of the Su family was greeting Ji Tingyang, Su Linzhou cast a puzzled look at Lin Xu.

As if asking her - "Aren't you going to accompany Xie Changyan to the banquet? Why are you following Ji Tingyang here?"

A few days ago, he asked Xie Changyan if he would come alone again this time. Xie Changyan was in a quite good mood and said that he would bring a female companion.

A female companion.

Su Linzhou knew it was Lin Xu without having to guess.

Apart from her, he had never seen Xie Changyan bring any other female companions.

As a result, Su Linzhou never expected to see Lin Xu next to Ji Tingyang.

Could it be that the woman Xie Changyan wanted to invite was not Lin Xu? Was he overthinking it? Facing Su Linzhou's shock, Lin Xu smiled back calmly, and then left with Ji Tingyang after saying hello.

Just as others came to talk to Ji Tingyang, the cell phone in Lin Xu's bag rang.

She took a quick look and found that it was Xie Changyan calling. She suddenly became tense and hung up the phone immediately.

"Why don't you answer it?" Ji Tingyang noticed her actions.

"It's a harassing call, don't answer it." Lin Xu's smile concealed his guilty conscience, and then he said, "I'm a little hungry, I'll go over there to get something to eat."

Ji Tingyang glanced at the table not far away and said, "I'll go with you..."

"You're already an adult, why are you still so clingy when I go to eat? I can just go by myself."

Hearing Lin Xu's teasing, Ji Tingyang's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he slowly let go of her hand.

Lin Xu walked to the counter and took out his cell phone to call Xie Changyan again.

"Why did you hang up the phone?" Xie Changyan said.

"I was in the bathroom just now." Lin Xu coughed and pretended to be calm, "Are you there now?"

"I'm about to leave. Do you really not need me to pick you up?" Xie Changyan called as if to confirm with her.

"Really, you don't have to pick me up. I've already taken the bus there. Maybe I'll get there faster than you, hehe..." Lin Xu's smile was a little unnatural.

"Okay, if you arrive early, go find a place to sit first. Su Linzhou won't dare to stop you."

"Be careful on the road, take your time and don't be in a hurry." It would be better if we could wait until Ji Tingyang leaves before coming.

"Are you worried about me?" Xie Changyan's low smile came, brushing her eardrums gently like a feather, making her ears feel hot.

Why do you still like to tease people at this time?

Lin Xu blushed, and said in anger, "I don't care about you. You can come whenever you want."

Xie Changyan chuckled, said he would be there as soon as possible, and then hung up the phone.

Lin Xu smiled into the phone, and when she turned around, she saw Ji Tingyang behind her. Her heartbeat suddenly stopped in fright, and she couldn't even hold the phone firmly, and it slipped from her hands.

Ji Tingyang quickly caught the phone for her, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

"You, you didn't make any noise, you scared me..." Lin Xu patted his chest to calm his panicked heartbeat.

Regret flashed across his eyes, "I won't do that next time."

"Don't think too much. I don't blame you." Lin Xu picked up a small cake and touched his thin lips, pulling him back from his annoyed thoughts, "Eat something and fill your stomach."

Ji Tingyang subconsciously opened his mouth and took a bite of the pastry from her hand. It was not until his mouth was filled with the nutty flavor of the pastry that he reacted belatedly.

His mother just fed him!

He stared at the half-eaten cake in Lin Xu's hand, his face showing an unnoticeable expectation, "I'll eat a little more..."

Lin Xu put the remaining cake in his hand and said, "Eat it."

"..." Ji Tingyang paused.

"What's wrong?"

"...No." He finished the cake in silence.

Lin Xu stayed here with Ji Tingyang for a few more minutes, and estimated that Xie Changyan was about to arrive, so she said to him, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll take you there." Ji Tingyang was worried that she didn't know the way.

"No, no, just wait for me here." Lin Xu hurried to the bathroom.

Ji Tingyang looked at her brisk back, which disappeared right before his eyes like a gust of wind, and felt puzzled.

Is it so urgent?

Could it be that he had a stomachache? Lin Xu did not go in after arriving at the bathroom door, but instead made a detour and came to the main entrance of the venue.

The timing was just right, as soon as she came out she saw Xie Changyan's car.

The man was wearing a slim black suit. He walked up to Lin Xu with slender steps and naturally put his arm around her waist. "How long have you been waiting?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lin Xu suppressed his rapid breathing while running, and said calmly, "I just got here too."

Xie Changyan curled his lips and brushed the sweat on her forehead with his fingertips, "It's very hot, why are you sweating?"

Lin Xu's mouth twitched.

How could he not sweat after jogging all the way from the venue? "Maybe." Lin Xu avoided his gaze and hurriedly pulled him in.

After returning to the banquet hall, she followed Xie Changyan and showed her face in front of Mr. Su again.

Facing Su Linzhou's frightened expression, Lin Xu smiled calmly, and then, where Xie Changyan couldn't see, she gave him a secret look.

——"Don't tell anyone!"

Su Linzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

Good job.

I have never seen a female companion for two people.

If Xie Changyan finds out about this, he will skin her alive.

Su Linzhou looked at Lin Xu with interest, his eyebrows slightly raised - "It's okay if I don't say it, but what's the benefit for me?"

Lin Xu opened his mouth and said silently: "Shall I introduce you to a beautiful woman?"

This benefit completely hit Su Linzhou's heart. Just as he was about to nod, Xie Changyan moved his body, blocking the line of sight between Lin Xu and Su Linzhou.

"What are you looking at?" He glanced at Su Linzhou with vigilance in his eyes.

Su Linzhou didn't forget that his brother was a jealous person, so he quickly looked away and said, "Nothing."

Xie Changyan managed to cover it up, and Lin Xu couldn't help but feel proud of his successful little trick.

Then she can go to Ji Tingyang to show her face, and no one will know that she is here to accompany him.

This was a perfect trick she had thought of for several days.

After more than ten minutes, Ji Tingyang, who was waiting by the table, still hadn't seen Lin Xu come back.

Thinking of her hurried appearance before she left just now, could it be that she had a stomachache in the bathroom? When he was hesitating whether to ask the waiter for medicine, a sweet but hesitant voice sounded behind him.

"Ji Tingyang?"

Ji Tingyang turned around and was stunned for a moment when he saw Wen Li, "Why are you here?"
