Chapter Sixty-Eight: Misfortune
"Masked ball? Why didn't I know Jiang Yan and he didn't tell me?"
Yu Xingnian stuffed a loaf of bread in his mouth and said inarticulately. Xu is because he has slept for too long, his cheeks are slightly red, and he is particularly delicate.
"We'll find out later. ”
Pei Liangcheng glanced at her with a little meaning, but finally shook his head helplessly.
Turning around and walking out, watching his movements, Yu Xingnian rolled his eyes.
"It's weird!"
But as soon as he walked through the door, there was a knock.
"Who?"
"I, Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan's voice was cold and hard, with a rare lowness.
Yu Xingnian's heart sank subconsciously, and he put on a coat and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Yan ignored her and walked straight to the room, where he saw the dinner on the dining car.
raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Yu Xingnian: "I really won't treat myself badly." ”
"It was a long night's sleep, and I'm starving. ”
Yu Xingnian said and sat down on the bed again, pointing to the chair opposite: "Sit down and eat with me." ”
Jiang Yan was not polite at all, but really sat opposite her. I didn't say a word the whole time.
Yu Xingnian put down the toast in his hand and looked up at him: "What happened?"
"Little girl, do you see it all?"
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly, she could always guess what was in his heart.
"Your face is almost a mess, why can't I see it?"
Yu Xingnian's brows furrowed slightly, remembering what Pei Liangcheng told him when he was leaving just now, could it be that Jiang Yan was worried about going to the masked ball.
Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, not seeing her expression.
"Ben invited me to his masked ball this afternoon, and he asked me to take you with him, which I declined, but he said he could change the time for us. ”
Yu Xingnian was a little surprised, no wonder Jiang Yan's face was so bad. Ben is also an extremely difficult person, and it seems that the two of them have to go to this masked ball tonight.
"His original intention must not be aimed at you, but me!" Yu Xingnian said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, I seem to be very hostile to you. He has never had a woman he can't get, and you're the first. ”
Jiang Yan's eyes were staring at a certain part of the room, but Yu Xingnian was thinking about how to deal with this dangerous dance party tonight.
"Jiang Yan, let's discuss it with the two of us. ”
She has never fought unprepared battles, and since it is dangerous, now that she has taken the initiative to approach, it is better to defeat the danger in the past.
"Little girl, if you really don't want to participate in tonight's dance, I can push it for you, it's a big deal to lose the cooperation between our two companies, and I don't want you to risk yourself!"
Jiang Yan suddenly spoke, as if he had made up his mind, not wanting Yu Xingnian to attend this masked party.
But there are some dangers that cannot be avoided. Yu Xingnian sighed slightly: "Do you think that we will be able to hide if we dodge? Besides, I don't believe that he has no weakness." ”
"As far as I know, he just doesn't have any weaknesses, the pot and the one always has a fragrance on his body, I don't know if you smell it, I talked about cooperation with him this afternoon, and I smelled dizzy. ”
"Xiang?" Yu Xingnian suddenly spoke.
Thinking of what Pei Liangcheng told her, the fragrance she carries all the year round has a psychedelic effect on women, but for men, it has the effect of stimulating the senses. But now that Jiang Yan smells its fragrance, his head will become groggy. Could it be because the incense on his body has been changed?
"Yes, I think the fragrance on his body is not ordinary, I sat there this afternoon all afternoon, barely holding on. But you must not be so close to him tomorrow, I am afraid that he will do something to you. ”
"I see. Only, if he does something to me tonight, I want you to help me. ”
Jiang Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked up at her, and was extremely serious: "If I am given another chance, I don't think I will take you out." ”
"Jiang Yan, I am your assistant, and I came out with you to work, not to hold you back. Ben is a very good partner, but as a man, he is still poor. ”
Yu Xingnian will not take the initiative to provoke others in the future, and will never allow others to provoke him.
In the evening, Ben sent a driver to the hotel to pick them up. Yu Xingnian had already changed into the dress that Jiang Yan had prepared.
Finely scrubbing the black feather mask in his hand, he murmured: "A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen!"
"Are you scared?" Jiang Yan stood beside her, some black dresses made him even more heroic.
"How could I be afraid?"
Yu Xingnian put on a mask and followed behind him, walking out step by step.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, another one came out of the hotel gate. Pei Liangcheng wore a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses today. Just suppressed the coldness on his face.
It seemed that he only saw the doubts in Yu Xingnian's eyes, and Jiang Yan opened his mouth to explain: "Pei Liangcheng is a friend of Ben, so it is not surprising that he will participate in this party tonight. ”
Yu Xingnian stopped talking, Pei Liangcheng seemed to glance at her, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and got into another car behind him.
The two cars drove side by side, all the way to the masked ball scene at the top of the mountain.
"This is the palace of a prince and nobleman in the last century, and it was bought by Ben, but he never liked to live in such a deserted place, and I knew that this palace was deserted. ”
"Tyrannical creatures. ”
Yu Xingnian sighed, but he had to admire that he was really capable.
The car drove into the palace, and immediately a blonde butler came out and parked the car in the parking lot for them.
Yu Xingnian took Jiang Yan's arm and walked in together.
"Don't leave me tonight. Jiang Yan glanced around, most of the people who came to the dance were wearing masks on their faces, and they couldn't tell who the person was at all?
Yu Xingnian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, since this was the case, she should not have been able to see her.
Just as she was rejoicing, Ben, who was standing across from her, suddenly walked straight from the crowd towards them.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, getting closer and closer to him, even more intense than the last time, Yu Xingnian frowned slightly, and took a step back slightly.
Jiang Yan reached out and patted her arm without a trace, Yu Xingnian smiled faintly at him, and said silently: "It's okay, don't worry." ”
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Yu. ”
Jiang Yanpi looked at him with a smile: "This masked dance party is really interesting. ”
