Chapter 688 Those delicate and ambiguous kisses
There was a constant stream of guests.
They all took the sightseeing elevator outside the building straight to the top floor.
The banquet hall spanned a thousand square meters, with a high dome. The side entrance led to a hanging garden, where vines divided the space into sections, providing privacy in the darkness.
The dazzling and intricate crystal chandeliers seemed to bring us back to the most prosperous period of Central Europe.
The hall was filled with fine wine and delicacies, as well as some snacks that were just the right size for the ladies to eat without getting their lipstick stained.
The top leaders of Tianyuan Group were also there, and most of the guests were there to discuss business and socialize, with the occasional celebrity being a popular figure in the entertainment industry. Normally, they were very grand, but here they were very respectful and humble.
A band was invited to play in a corner of the hall.
The guests stood in groups of three or four and chatted.
Huo Sijiao dressed very brightly, she preferred red.
Others looked tacky in red, but she looked dazzling in it. She also used the Tianyuan Group's banquet to develop her own beauty salon customers.
Xie Xubai was standing in the corner talking to someone, his eyes falling on her from time to time.
The other young man was dressed stylishly, with hair dyed a dark brown that was almost black. He was dressed younger than his peers, and his face was even more delicate.
His eyebrows and eyes look somewhat similar to Xie Xubai's, but his temperament is completely different.
He placed his hand on Xie Xubai's shoulder, patted it, and said in a somewhat ruffian tone, "Are you tempted? Is that the woman you're interested in? Everyone in your family says that you're in luck and that good things are coming. But I don't think you know her well. Do you need my help?"
"Xie Jingchu, don't mess around."
Xie Xubai moved his claws away, his classical and cold demeanor darkened, and his tone carried a hint of warning.
Xie Jingchu laughed awkwardly: "Am I not afraid that Pei Chun will become my sister-in-law?"
"Don't forget who you are. You agreed to hide your background and venture into the entertainment industry, so stay away from me. I don't want any scandals with you." Xie Xubai said indifferently, without mercy.
Xie Jingchu hesitated to speak.
Is it necessary?
What kind of monster is he?
It was just that he was photographed dining alone with Xie Xubai last time, and his family spent money to suppress the news. Otherwise, if it got out, after careful analysis by netizens, they would definitely find that he and Xie Xubai look a bit like each other.
His mask in the entertainment industry is about to fall off.
He had just made a name for himself in the entertainment industry with the name Jingchu.
Fans cannot be made to think that he relies on his family.
Xie Jingchu's peripheral vision caught sight of a man and woman entering through the main entrance, and he immediately said with a hint of gloating, "Another unlucky guy has become Xia Sisi's slave. This woman is realistic and ruthless. Almost every man who pursues her is squeezed dry by her, and then kicked away, and then they are grateful and remember her kindness."
Xie Xubai looked over and saw Sun Weimeng talking to Xia Sisi.
His tone was a little subtle: "He is not a sucker."
"With that silly and lustful look, how can he not be a sucker?"
Xie Xubai walked away with a glass of grapefruit juice, and his voice drifted over: "That's great wisdom in the form of foolishness."
This young master Sun must have something extraordinary to be appreciated by Huo Xingzhou.
Xie Xubai walked to Huo Sijiao and handed her a glass of grapefruit water.
Huo Sijiao didn't even turn around and drank the water. She was so thirsty from talking that her mouth was dry. When she put down the cup, she immediately saw Xie Xubai's elegant and dignified face.
A mouthful of water was stuck in my mouth and I almost choked.
"You...cough cough."
Her cheeks and neck were all red, and even her hand holding the cup felt a little numb.
Since the Guan family wedding banquet, she has deliberately kept a distance from Xie Xubai and usually does not contact him.
But Huo Sijiao will never forget what she did to Xie Xubai after she was drugged. She molested him.
In the long corridor filled with flickering light and shadow, she touched his entire body.
full of pathos.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, she was always very angry and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
When she met the real person again, her eyes were moist and filled with shyness.
"Choked?"
He was frank.
It was as if the two of them were still friends and nothing that happened that night had happened.
"No." Huo Sijiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes moved very lively. Her flushed cheeks were like sweet nectar, delicate and tempting.
She pursed her lips, which were moistened by the grapefruit juice, with difficulty, not knowing what to say to Xie Xubai.
What if he brought up that day?
"My mother wants me to ask you if you can still make an appointment for the Jade Skin Cream treatment at the beauty salon? She has a few girlfriends who want to try it."
I didn't expect that he just came here to talk about serious business.
"Yes! I can reserve it for them. After all...ah..."
Huo Sijiao felt the force from behind and fell towards Xie Xubai, landing in his arms.
The scent of sandalwood with a hint of fruit filled her nose, leaving her stunned and unable to recover. Every time she smelled it, she would remember her frivolous and excessive behavior that day.
Those small, ambiguous kisses.
Intimate things that only lovers do.
Xie Xubai glanced over coldly. Xie Jingchu, who was passing by, said without any apology: "Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you."
She even winked at him and left without any fear.
"Are you okay?" Xie Xubai asked with his head down.
Huo Sijiao shook her head and quickly stepped out of his arms, saying, "I'm fine."
Her face just got redder.
She could no longer remain frank in front of Xie Xubai. She didn't hate this feeling, but she felt a little nervous and moved in her heart.
"I...I'm going to help my brother entertain the guests. Please do as you please."
Huo Sijiao quickly found an excuse to leave.
A hint of smile appeared in Xie Xubai's eyes.
But when he caught a glimpse of the Zhong family members coming in through the main door, his smile gradually faded.
The Zhong family is here!
Zhong Lingxiao came with the pregnant Lin Xifei!
Lu Yingxue came alone, but she didn't see Zhong Yi for the time being.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
The guests are almost all here.
The entire banquet hall looked extremely lively.
The retro clock hand on the wall rang a few times on the hour, and the lights in the banquet hall dimmed.
The spotlight fell on the main entrance of the banquet hall.
The tall door with creamy white carvings was wide open, and the red carpet was laid out to the innermost part.
Bright shadows fell.
A man and woman dressed in their finest attire walked onto the red carpet. The man's suit was impeccable, his face impassive, as if he didn't notice anything. His eyes were as calm as a still pond, devoid of any undercurrents.
Qiao Xi, who was standing beside him, was wearing a white silk off-shoulder long dress that trailed on the ground.
A sapphire necklace adorns her collarbone.
She rarely dressed so elegantly and coolly, always acting casually. She often went to see patients without makeup.
She pursed her lips and smiled as she stood beside Huo Xingzhou, looking stunning!
Everyone discovered that Mrs. Huo's appearance was even more outstanding than Lu Yingxue!
