Ning Qingyu returned to the apartment near the Shangxiao Club, and after changing into the clothes exclusive to the boss of Shangxiao, he walked into the club to get the invitation.

Lu Yuanqi was standing at the bar tasting wine, and when he saw her come in, he cast his gaze, and his usual peaceful expression seemed to have a hint of weirdness at the moment.

"What, it's not pretty?" his gaze made Ning Qingyu frown.

In order to maintain the freshness of the identity of "Shangxiao Boss", she deliberately changed into a different dress today than usual, which used to be bright and light-colored, but tonight it is a cold dark color.

Wearing a bandeau black knee-length skirt and a black mask, the whole person looks bewitching and sexy, like a dark night rose full of thorns, her complexion is always white and red, in stark contrast to black, fair and charming shoulders and neck, thin straight calves, bare ankles, etc., these are deadly existences compared to the opposite sex, but they are so perfectly integrated into a person.

But the girl dressed up like this, her eyes are always quiet and lazy, like an autumn lake, without waves, without sorrow or joy, as if the world's big things can't arouse her interest.

Lu Yuanqi retracted his gaze lightly, but suddenly frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing, took off his blazer, and draped it on her shoulders without saying a word.

"You are not allowed to take it down until the banquet is over. He dropped a word and walked out with his feet up.

Ning Qingyu pulled the coat on his body, feeling very inexplicable, and cast a puzzled gaze on the bartender at the bar, and the other party spread his hands and signaled that he didn't know anything.

Lu Yuanqi leaned on the side of the car and waited for her, maybe the sound of high heels was too harsh, and he muttered: "What's not to prepare for a banquet, and I also put on unhealthy shoes like high heels!"

Ning Qingyu happened to hear her words when she was about to get into the car, and couldn't help but reply: "What's wrong with high heels? ”

The person in the driver's seat started the car and replied coldly: "You are not a woman yet." ”

There was no superfluous emotion in his voice, but it was such a painless thing that made Ning Qingyu hold back his depression.

She thought that she had put a lot of thought into dressing up today, and she hadn't dressed herself too much before that, thinking it would surprise him, but she didn't expect to be scolded several times inexplicably, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

"Lu Yuanqi, if you don't want me to be your female companion, just say it. ”

Lu Yuanqi propped up the steering wheel with both hands and glanced at her, "What are you talking nonsense again? If I don't want to, I'll come to pick you up on purpose?" Ning Qingyu, let's speak with our conscience. ”

"Then you just dislike my dress, I think it's obviously good-looking......"

There seemed to be a crying tone in his tone, and a wind blew in, Lu Yuanqi didn't really hear it, but he didn't want to guess, so he parked the car next to him.

She was obviously much more wronged, and her eyes were so red that he could see clearly even with her eyes down.

Lu Yuanqi looked at her quietly for a while, and the unconcealable melancholy between his eyebrows became more and more obvious.

Then, he sighed quietly, stretched out his hand to straighten her coat, and whispered, "Dress like this...... Insecurity. ”

Ning Qingyu looked up at him, even though she still didn't understand the meaning of this so-called "insecurity", she could hear the desire to stop talking and a little inhibition in his words.

After a moment, she suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and pulled her coat tight, "Okay, I'll follow you closely tonight, so it should be safe." ”

"It's too late, we're going to hurry. ”

When the car was halfway through, she asked him again: "What do you think I would do if I was recognized?" I heard that the people of the Ning family will also pass. ”

He smiled, "With me by my side, this kind of thing won't happen." ”

Ning Qingyu believed what he said, but he didn't expect that after entering the dinner party, he really stayed by her side all the time, not letting others get close, and not letting her get close to others.

Ning Qingyu stretched out a slender finger and poked his arm: "Young Master Lu, you will really be misunderstood, after all, my current identity is Shangxiao Boss, a woman, your character is not close to women, don't pay too much attention to me." ”

She had also received an invitation to this kind of dinner party before as the boss of Shangxiao, but she didn't want to show up, and only agreed to come once because Lu Yuanqi was also there, but if she knew that he would take herself so closely, she wouldn't come, after all, the people who came to participate on this occasion were either high-ranking officials or people who had done the ultimate in a certain field, and the Ning family might come into contact with the so-called partners who were in the same stream here, and she would have the opportunity to inquire and collect evidence from them.

But right now, Lu Yuanqi is obviously unwilling to let her leave him.

"I know what you're thinking," Lu Yuanqi lowered his voice and said, "You want to find the Ning family's partner on this occasion, you think too much." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Business people, especially businessmen with unclean hands, will not talk about business openly in crowded places, because it is too easy to show their feet, let alone a well-connected company like Ning's, today's dinner is a social party, that's all. ”

When the two lowered their heads and spoke, the position at the door became lively.

Ning Qingyu looked at it and found that it was someone from the Ning family who came, except for Ning Qingyu, almost all the people from the family had arrived, and Shang Yi, as the first special assistant, would naturally not be absent.

This is the first time she has seen Ning Hai's state of dealing with people, under the crowd and the flames, he looks more like the president of the company, which is in stark contrast to the usual grievances at home, at this moment, Ning Qingyu is clearly aware of the gap between himself and the Ning family.

If she dealt with the Ning family alone, she would simply hit a stone with an egg, and she would not be able to do anything about herself.

"They're coming this way, they're in better shape, don't be discovered. Lu Yuanqi pretended to look around, but whispered in her ear, "I will always be by your side." ”

Knowing that there was ambiguity in this sentence, Ning Qingyu's heartbeat still missed a beat, and joked: "Okay, you have to stay by my side until the end of the dinner, and you can't run away halfway." ”

"Hello, are you the mysterious boss of the Shangxiao Club?" Ning Hai walked over and stretched out his hand to shake Ning Qingyu: "I didn't expect it to be a girl, and it's such a young and beautiful girl, I have been looking up to it for a long time." ”

Ning Qingyu glanced coldly at the big hand covered with thick calluses, and his eyes under the black mask showed a hint of disgust, and he looked away arrogantly, as if he hadn't seen it.

Ning Hai quietly withdrew his hand, looked at her with an uncertain look in his eyes, and turned to speak to Lu Yuanqi, "Mr. Lu, Boss Shangxiao shouldn't be your female companion, right?

"Mr. Ning is old, but it seems that he can't even call people. Lu Yuanqi looked calm, raised his hand and put his hand on Ning Qingyu's shoulder, and smiled angrily: "Please call her a little beauty." ”
