After Jiang Duoduo followed Ji Yue into the suite, she still felt guilty and tugged at Ji Yue's sleeve, reminding him, "Don't let your dad know I'm here..."
"Um?"
"Actually, I only just realized at the banquet that Qin Jue is the richest man." Jiang Duoduo carefully observed the expression on Ji Yue's face.
"Yeah?"
"Hmm. If my uncle finds out I'm the richest man's girlfriend, he'll definitely tell my parents. If they think I've hooked up with the richest man, it'll make things complicated. After all, I'm not that close to Qin Jue, so..."
Ji Yue now understood why Duo Duo had run away. "Okay. I won't tell anyone."
Upon hearing Ji Yue's words, Jiang Duoduo watched him leave the room, and then she felt increasingly aggrieved.
She really couldn't understand what Qin Jue was trying to do.
Was he deliberately bringing her to the Ji family's banquet to expose their relationship to Ye Nian?
If that's the case, then he's incredibly cunning.
However... upon closer reflection, Qin Jue had no idea that Ji Yue was her neighbor.
Jiang Duoduo tried her best to think of Qin Jue in a positive light.

One hour later.
Jiang Duoduo was lounging on the sofa in the suite, leaning back lazily, snacking and watching a soap opera, when she heard a knock on the door.
It must be Ji Yue who's back.
She ran barefoot on the blanket to open the door.
Eager to get home and leave this troublesome place as quickly as possible, she smiled as she opened the door, "Ji Yue..."
She had only uttered two words when the man who came into view made her smile freeze.
"Why don't you continue? Hmm?" Qin Jue's face darkened, his eyes narrowed slightly. "You ran away pretty fast."
In her panic, Jiang Duoduo decided to strike first and gain the upper hand, saying, "You tricked me, and you still have the nerve to come looking for me?"
"You need to understand this is my neighbor's party. If my neighbor finds out I'm your date, my parents will find out tomorrow! And if my parents find out, it's the same as Ye Nian finding out! If Ye Nian finds out, I'll... I'll..."
After stammering for a while, he finally changed his tune, saying, "You're dead."
Based on Qin Jue's temperament, Jiang Duoduo had already guessed the general idea.
Qin Jue came to find her because she had just pulled Ji Yue and run away, making him feel like he had been tricked by her pretending to have a leg pain, which is why he wanted to settle the score with her.
Seeing that the man remained silent for a long time, Jiang Duoduo felt a little timid.
The suite was air-conditioned and freezing cold, yet her forehead was beaded with cold sweat, dampening her stray hairs.
Jiang Duoduo saw Qin Jue's eyelids darken again and was terrified. "But you don't know that the Ji family is my neighbor. Besides, I insisted on coming with you this time... I... I've already forgiven you."
After Jiang Duoduo stopped speaking, the atmosphere became so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.
Suddenly, the man collapsed onto her.
"Qin Jue, what are you doing?" Caught off guard, Jiang Duoduo couldn't support Qin Jue's weight. Afraid that he would cause her to fall to the ground and hit her head, she could only stand there and hug him tightly.
The two were pressed close together, and Jiang Duoduo caught a strong smell of alcohol in her breath. "You've been drinking?"
After observing for a while, Assistant Chen suddenly understood what his boss meant.
As a competent assistant, he decisively turned around and walked back to the banquet to remind Ji Yue that it was time to return.
