Chapter 28 You're not going to fish for me, are you?
Just as Song Ziqian was about to raise her sign, the phone rang. It was her agent.
"Hello, I'm busy right now. I'll call you back later."
Just as she was about to hang up, her agent yelled anxiously, "Song Ziqian, are you crazy? I asked you to go to the charity auction so you can make connections, not so you can clash with your leading actress. You just got cast and you're already clashing with Sang Wan. Are you still going to shoot this drama? Do you have to be the second female lead? Stop it right now."
Song Ziqian bit her lip and looked at Sang Wan with dissatisfaction.
However, what the agent said made sense. If things got too awkward, it was very likely that the role he had just won would be affected.
No matter how unhappy she was, she still stopped bidding.
"Sang Wan, congratulations. Although I like this jade pendant very much, I can see that you like it more, so I won't argue with you."
Sang Wan frowned and curled her lips. She was good at talking. She had been calling him that for so long, and now she was pretending to be a good person.
In the end, the jade pendant was bought by Sang Wan for 1.6 million yuan.
Lu Tingzhou sat not far behind, with a slight smile on his face.
It's rare to find something she likes so much.
The auction came to an end, and the dinner began under the dazzling crystal chandeliers.
As the wine was flowing, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
As soon as a tall and straight figure appeared, it was like an invisible magnet, instantly attracting the attention of most of the audience.
Lu Tingzhou.
The man wore a meticulously tailored black handmade suit, which accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and slender legs. He exuded the cool and noble air of someone who had long held a high position. His deep features were even more sharply defined under the light, like a meticulously crafted work of art.
As soon as he appeared, many people came forward with wine glasses and tried to chat with him.
Lu Tingzhou's expression was indifferent. He responded sparingly with a few words, but his eyes seemed to be casually and accurately cast towards a corner of the banquet hall.
Lu Jinxuan was being pestered by Xu Mingyue, while Sang Wan was holding a glass of champagne, shaking it boredly and chatting with the people around him from time to time.
The moment he saw Lu Tingzhou appear.
Wang Sheng’s harsh words in the afternoon kept lingering in her mind like a curse.
"The Lu family will never accept you."
"Lu Tingzhou has been abroad for so many years, how could he not have a woman by his side? To you, it's just a temporary novelty!"
Plus, he didn't call or send a single message the entire day.
This kind of ambiguous attitude made her already restless heart sink even more, and she felt a little aggrieved and annoyed.
Why can he appear when he wants to and disappear when he wants to?
What do you take her for?
Sang Wan bit her lower lip, and a hint of stubbornness flashed in her watery eyes.
She suddenly turned around, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she walked towards a young actor who was talking to someone not far away.
"Brother Zhuo, long time no see."
The actor called "Senior Brother Zhuo" is Zhuo Fan, who is about the same age as Sang Wan and debuted earlier than her. The two have worked together before and he is very caring towards Sang Wan. In that hit fantasy drama, the pairing of senior brother and sister they played went viral online, and many fans still remember them fondly.
Sang Wan has always called him senior brother, both in and outside the play, until now.
When Zhuo Fan saw her, his eyes lit up and he smiled, "Wanwan, I was just about to go over and talk to you. You're getting more and more beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior brother." Sang Wan smiled and started chatting with him naturally.
The two talked about the interesting things that happened during the filming that year, and chuckled from time to time. The atmosphere was harmonious and there was a hint of intimacy that seemed subtle to others.
Not far away, Lu Tingzhou narrowed his deep black eyes slightly.
He looked at Sang Wan's sweet smile, and pursed his thin lips into a cold, hard line.
very good.
This is to get angry with him.
It was the same in the past. Whenever I was unhappy, I would find ways to make him angry and get his attention.
Lu Tingzhou put one hand in his pocket and walked through the crowd with his long legs. Every step carried an invisible sense of oppression, and he was heading straight towards Sang Wan.
Sang Wan was chatting excitedly with Zhuo Fan when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching from the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late.
A large, bony hand grasped her wrist with undeniable strength.
"Come with me."
The deep voice had a hint of clarity that she was familiar with.
Before Sang Wan could even say hello to Zhuo Fan, she was pulled by a force, staggered a few steps, and left the crowd.
Zhuo Fan was left with a dazed look on his face.
Song Ziqian was also shocked when she saw this scene. Is Lu Tingzhou really having an affair with Sang Wan?
Didn’t my sister say that Sang Wan is nothing to be feared and that there is no way Lu Tingzhou would like her?
It seems that this matter is not simple, I still need to talk to my sister about it.
If she doesn't come back, Lu Tingzhou might really be seduced away by Sang Wan.
Sang Wan's appearance makes her look like a seductive vixen.
Lu Tingzhou took her and walked straight to a secluded corner of the terrace in the banquet hall.
The light was dim and the night breeze was cool.
He released her wrist, but the next second, he trapped her between himself and the solid wall.
But his hands carefully protected her lower back so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
The sudden warmth on Sang Wan's back made her look up at the man in front of her in panic.
"What are you doing? There are many people watching."
The man's tall figure almost completely enveloped her, and the faint scent of cedar mixed with tobacco forcefully invaded her breath.
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not like Mr. Lu, who has a large family, a large business, and a high position. If the photos of you and I are spread out casually, it might destroy the empire I worked so hard to build in an instant."
Sang Wan tried hard to make her voice sound calm, but the fleeting twitch of her lips between her raised eyebrows still betrayed her current thoughts.
Lu Tingzhou said nothing, but just lowered his eyes and looked at her steadily.
In the dim light, his deep eyes were like a bottomless pool of water.
He slowly leaned over, and his handsome face enlarged in front of her.
The warm breath brushed against her nose faintly.
His thin lips were almost touching hers.
"Are you angry?" He finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
Sang Wan's heart trembled, and she subconsciously turned her head away to avoid his overly hot gaze and breath.
"I wouldn't dare." She stiffened her neck, her tone a little angry. "Mr. Lu is a powerful figure. How dare I, a small actor, get angry with you? Besides, we've only met a few times. We're not familiar with each other."
"oh?"
Lu Tingzhou let out an ambiguous hum, and gently stroked her wrist with his calloused fingertips, which had just been grasped by him. The skin there was delicate and smooth, but now it had a faint red mark.
"Are you not familiar with me?" he asked again, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Sang Wan was so angry at his questioning that she felt a tightness in her chest.
She tried to push him away, but he stood still and blocked her move.
Instead of retreating, he moved closer.
His solid chest was almost touching her.
His long arms rested on the wall beside her, completely confining her to his own space.
"Mr. Lu is very busy and has a lot of things to do. We can't really say we are 'familiar' with each other."
"Really?"
Lu Tingzhou chuckled softly, and the laughter came from his chest, pressing against Sang Wan's chest. She could clearly feel the vibration of his chest.
"I do remember," he said slowly, his warm breath spraying on her ear, stirring up a delicate shudder. "Not long ago, someone was deliberately trying every possible way to get close to me and try to hook me?"
"So... not fishing today?"
His deep voice, with its bewitching magnetism, gently scratched her heart.
Sang Wan's cheeks turned red instantly, and she didn't know whether it was out of anger or shame.
She raised her little face, met his deep eyes, and forced herself to refute: "Boss Lu is like a thousand-year-old iceberg, cold and hard, and the ice layer is too thick."
"My skills are too limited. I haven't even put the hook in yet. I'm afraid your cold energy will freeze me to death!"
She paused, her tone tinged with self-mockery, "So, I won't fish anymore."
"Heh..." A low chuckle escaped from Lu Tingzhou's throat, with a hint of joy.
He looked at the girl's cheeks which were slightly puffed up due to anger. She looked like a kitten with its fur standing on end, but her eyes were sparkling with a stubborn determination to refuse to admit defeat.
It's his favorite look.
The smile in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a strong and indissoluble emotion.
He leaned over again, his thin lips almost brushing against her tender lips.
The hot breaths entangled together.
"Really?"
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a deadly allure.
"Or, try again."
Sang Wan was so teased by him that she lost all her willpower and felt a sudden surge of heat in her body.
She pursed her red lips for a few seconds, raised her hand and lifted the man's chin, her fox eyes passionate and cunning.
"Mr. Lu has always acted so unattainable, why did you take the initiative today?"
Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips and said, "I also want to try to light a fire like you."
The deep, hoarse voice held a seductive charm, "What did Miss Sang think I wanted to do?"
Sang Wan's face was already red, and the hand that was originally hooked on the man was now tugging at his shirt helplessly.
The faint scent of tobacco and the cold aroma on the man's body rushed straight to her head. The thin lips and the magnetic voice in front of her made Sang Wan's heart pound.
He was panicking and babbling incoherently, "What...what do you mean? There are so many people here, I..."
Lu Tingzhou sincerely wanted her to take the initiative and make sure she didn't look back, so even though he wanted to kiss her at this moment, he still let her go.
"This is definitely not the right place."
As he spoke, he let go of Sang Wan and considerately helped her tidy up her clothes.
When he spoke again, he had recovered as before.
"I'll take you back."
Sang Wan was still drowsy, the heat in her body still lingering, but the man had actually regained his cool and noble demeanor.
He directly held my hand and I just followed him mechanically.
In the car, Sang Wan thought for a long time before asking the first question.
