Chapter 31: The Banquet
Shopping is really not an easy job, and when Lin Chengxuan sent Li Xia home, she was already asleep in the co-pilot.
She seems to be able to sleep very well, and no matter what time or place she is, she can always find a comfortable place to nest and take a nap.
Lin Chengxuan deliberately drove slowly, and when he arrived downstairs at Li Xia's house, he sat in the driver's seat and looked at Li Xia quietly from the side.
She didn't sleep soundly, and she woke up not long after the car stopped.
Scratching his head a little embarrassedly, "That, I, I'm going upstairs." ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Chengxuan smiled and nodded.
Li Xia hurriedly opened the car door and ran down.
"Risya. ”
Turning around, Lin Chengxuan poked his head out and said with a smile: "You don't have to go to work tomorrow morning, and I will inform you in the afternoon, you may work overtime." ”
"Got it. Li Xia answered.
She hesitated, bit her lower lip lightly, peeked at Lin Chengxuan, and then waved her hand at him, "I...... It's up!"
Lin Chengxuan supported his chin with his hand, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at the back of Li Xia who turned around and ran into the building in a panic.
She waved goodbye to him like this for the first time.
It's quite interesting.
Sure enough, she likes someone, and she thinks it's good no matter what.
His right hand rests on the steering wheel, his fingers tapping lightly.
He's already looking forward to tomorrow night.
Li Xia would not ask about Lin Chengxuan's arrangement, he said that if he went to work in the afternoon, he would go to work in the afternoon.
Shen Baiyu didn't stay at home with her, and went directly to the company.
Li Xia was left alone in the family.
Seeing that it was about to be three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Chengxuan still didn't call her.
"Is it merciful that I have been allowed to rest at home?"
Li Xia held a bag of potato chips and leaned back on the sofa while eating and watching TV.
The phone rang suddenly.
Li Xia hurriedly took the phone, and sure enough, it was Lin Chengxuan.
"Do you want to go to work now?"
As soon as the words came out, Li Xia suddenly reacted, why is he so positive about going to work now?
It's not good, it's not good.
"Open the door. ”
Lin Chengxuan's chuckle came from the phone.
Li Xia sighed, then slowly stood up, went over and opened the door.
Lin ...... You, you, you, you ......"
The moment Li Xia opened the door, he saw Lin Chengxuan standing outside the door.
I was so scared that I almost threw away my phone.
"Pick you up at work. ”
Lin Chengxuan walked in unceremoniously.
Li Xia looked at Lin Chengxuan's dress and was a little puzzled.
Work...... Do you want to wear the new suit you bought yesterday? Isn't that going to be worn at Luo Yaoyao's birthday party today?
However, Li Xia didn't bother to ask, and took slippers for Lin Chengxuan, "Come in and sit, I'll go change clothes." ”
"Wait. Lin Chengxuan stopped her and handed the bag in his hand to Li Xia, "Change this." ”
This is......
That dress I bought yesterday!
Li Xia was stunned, and before she could ask, she saw Lin Chengxuan turn sideways, and then ...... Two women walked into the room.
They carried large bags and small wraps in their hands.
"This is the stylist you hired. Lin Chengxuan looked at Li Xia with a smile and nodded at the two of them, "She will ask the two of you." ”
"Mr. Lin is relieved. ”
The two of them, one left and one right, "racked" Li Xia into the bedroom.
There was a sound in the house from time to time, and Lin Chengxuan simply closed the door and stood at the door waiting.
He was looking forward to seeing each other for a while.
The phone vibrate, and when I looked down, Luo Yaoyao.
Lin Chengxuan looked impatient and hung up the phone directly.
Luo Yaoyao persevered and called again.
Lin Chengxuan directly turned the phone to silent and put it in his pocket.
Then quietly waited for Li Xia......
The moment the door opened, Lin Chengxuan even looked at it intently.
Li Xia blushed slightly and walked out of the bedroom.
Long hair shawl, wearing high heels, necklace embellishment around the neck is not exaggerated, just right.
The delicate makeup made her look more elegant and glamorous than usual.
She walked up to Lin Chengxuan and lowered her head a little shyly.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
The two stylists followed, smiling and asking.
Lin Chengxuan nodded, and his smile deepened, "Very good." ”
"That'...... Let's go first. ”
When the two stylists saw the appearance of the two, they left first.
Lin Chengxuan smiled and stretched out his hand and shook Li Xia's hand.
"Let's go. ”
He walked in front, and he didn't hide the smile on his face, and the occasional chuckle made Li Xia blush, looking down and not daring to look at him.
"You...... You didn't tell me, it's for me. Li Xia sat in the car a little cramped, her hands a little nervously together.
She hadn't participated in any banquets, and as for the banquets at Lin Chengxuan's level, she hadn't even thought about it, and she didn't know what the rules were.
Lin Chengxuan looked at her sideways, and his nervous appearance could indeed be seen at a glance.
"It's the same for you now. Lin Chengxuan stretched out his hand and covered Li Xia's hand.
Her hands were already covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Gently squeezed her hand, "I'm here, don't be so nervous." ”
"But, but ......" Li Xia was still not at ease, lowered his head and bit his lip, his breathing sound was a little heavy.
Lin Chengxuan frowned slightly.
Now she really doesn't feel inferior, but ...... She's also not very confident. Maybe you can't see it at ordinary times, but when there is a big occasion, she still can't help but be cowardly.
"Risya. ”
He called her name softly.
Li Xia raised his head and met his smiling eyes.
"It's just a birthday party, you just have to be by my side. Lin Chengxuan's hand tightened slightly, held her hand, and said with a smile.
Li Xia looked at the seriousness in his eyes, his nervousness calmed down slightly, and his palms were still sweaty, but his breathing was much lighter.
Lin Chengxuan is really good to her.
Sometimes Li Xia herself can't figure out why Lin Chengxuan would be kind to her as an ordinary person.
But...... She really likes this feeling, being cared for, being protected, and always happy.
Luo Yaoyao's villa is very large, and although there are many guests, it doesn't feel crowded here at all.
"Mr. Lin. The middle-aged man who came to him held a wine glass and greeted Lin Chengxuan with a smile.
Lin Chengxuan nodded in response, "Mr. Sun, it's really early." ”
"The company is fine, so I came over first. Mr. Sun glanced at Li Xia curiously and asked, "Who is this ......?"
"My girlfriend, Lisha. Lin Chengxuan held Li Xia's hand and said to her with a smile: "This is Mr. Sun of Fengda." ”
Li Xia hurriedly greeted Mr. Sun.
"I heard that Chairman Lin will also come today. ”
Lin Chengxuan smiled and did not deny it.
Li Xia on the side suddenly panicked, Lin Chengxuan's father was also coming, this ......
Feeling Li Xia's hand clenched, Lin Chengxuan glanced down his eyes, and his heart was clear.
After greeting Mr. Sun, Lin Chengxuan took Li Xia and walked towards a quieter place.
"Why are you nervous again?"
Li Xia pursed her lips and glanced at Lin Chengxuan worriedly, "That, your father is coming, I'll ...... Let's go back. ”
"Go back?"
Lin Chengxuan smiled, it seems that what her father said in the office that day really hurt her.
"Don't worry, Dad won't target you, and there was a reason for what happened that day. Lin Chengxuan leaned over slightly, put it in Li Xia's ear, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the reason after the banquet is over." ”
"But......" Li Xia looked around, and then said in Lin Chengxuan's ear: "I'm a fake girlfriend, it's not good to let others misunderstand." ”
Lin Chengxuan straightened up, looked at Li Xia narrowly, and leaned his arm towards Li Xia's side.
"What?"
Li Xia looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Chengxuan glanced at his arm with his eyes, "Hold it." ”
"Huh?"
"This is also one of the etiquette. Lin Chengxuan looked up with a smile, swept around the people with female companions, and said to Li Xia: "It's all like this, holding men's arms." ”
Li Xia looked at it suspiciously, as if he ...... That's true.
Suspiciously, he took Lin Chengxuan's arm, but he didn't see the smile in Lin Chengxuan's eyes.
What etiquette, in fact, is all jokes.
Everyone is used to it, so they hold hands, in fact, a birthday party, it's not how to get used to it.
"My dad is here, let's go, go meet him. ”
Lin Chengxuan almost dragged Li Xia to Lin Huaigong.
"Dong ......"
"You kid, no wonder you have to go before me, it's to pick up Xiao Xia. ”
Before the chairman of Li Xia could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Huaigong.
Today's Lin Huaigong is really ...... Kind, not at all the serious aura of the day when I was in the office.
This made Li Xia relax a lot, although she knew that the saddest thing was Luo Yaoyao's level.
God knows what it would be like for Luo Yaoyao to come out after a while and see Lin Chengxuan coming over with her.
It's hard to say whether it will go crazy on the spot.
Of course, she wouldn't be angry with Lin Chengxuan, so she was unlucky in the end......
Li Xia felt sorry for herself when she thought about it.
Luo Yaoyao is also strong, she was rejected by Lin Chengxuan a hundred times, and the one hundred and first time she could still paste it with a smile, and Chengxuan Chengxuan called that affection.
Lin Chengxuan squeezed Li Xia's hand, took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand and handed it to Li Xia, "You can just take a sip when you drink it for a while, but don't drink it all." ”
Li Xia took the hand of the wine glass and paused, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
"I'm fine with you drinking too much. But ......" Lin Chengxuan coughed lightly and whispered to Li Xia: "If you pull someone here to cry, it won't be good." ”
Li Xia's face instantly turned red, and even his neck and ears turned red.
Sure enough, after getting drunk that day, she left a very deep impression on Lin Chengxuan.
Crying......
"Didn't you think about it for the rest of the year? ”
Li Xia pouted and muttered.
If I hadn't seen it for more than a year, I wouldn't have ......
"Ning Li, you're here too!"
Hearing Ning Li's name, Li Xia subconsciously turned his head to look over.
"He also has a relationship with the Luo family?"
"His father has a good relationship with Luo Yaoyao's father. ”
Lin Chengxuan turned his head to look at Li Xia.
only to find that her gaze was a little dull and looked at Ning Li......
No, it's Ning Li's side.
Lin Chengxuan followed her gaze.
His brow furrowed slowly.
He even came!
