Chapter Twenty-Three: The Magnificent Ball
Since the last time they met those two strange blind dates, Xia Xueqing and Qiao Yuxuan resolutely no longer agreed to have the next blind date, they both felt that the objects introduced by Sang Xiaorou and Sun Mingliang were unreliable!
Although the blind date is just an acting, I hope to stimulate the other party, but at least I have to meet someone who can say it!
This is good, not only did it not achieve the effect of stimulating the other party, but also delayed the good time of his rest in vain!
Therefore, Xia Xueqing and Qiao Yuxuan no longer agreed to go on a blind date despite the persuasion of those two people!
It's a big deal for the man and woman who are going to fight it out!
The two had no choice but to change their strategy, and as for how to continue the bet, they agreed to discuss the matter in Sun Mingming's gallery, and by the way, Sang Xiaorou was also allowed to visit his gallery. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The four words "Mirror, Flowers, Water and Moon" represent an identity in the painting world, and it also happens to be the name of this large-scale gallery. It has a strong backer behind it, which supports the "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon" gallery to have a stable status and authority in the art world, which is something that everyone knows. Sun Mingliang is a well-known art dealer; He was also the second son of Sun's Enterprise; He is also a well-known diamond king.
As soon as Sang Xiaorou walked into the gallery, she was attracted by the paintings of many famous artists hanging on the walls! She has to admit that Sun Mingliang still has a certain aesthetic vision, at least, she admires and likes the paintings hanging in his gallery, does this show that they have a common artistic feeling?
No, Sang Xiaorou immediately overturned her idea, just a playboy like him, he knows how to pick up girls all day long, and he doesn't do his job, how can he have such a high artistic accomplishment? It must be these works selected by other people in the gallery, maybe it is Qiao Yuxuan!
Sun Mingming's gallery has four floors, the first and second floors are filled with paintings on display and sale, the third floor is the studio used by Qiao Yuxuan and several other painters to create, and the fourth floor is the office of the gallery's other managers and Sun Mingliang.
Sang Xiaorou walked into the elevator and soon came to the fourth floor. As soon as you step out, you will be greeted by a large and spacious space, which is worthy of a high-end office area.
"Hello, I'm Sang Xiaorou, I'm here to find Sun Mingming." Sang Xiaorou walked to the reception and said to the busy young lady.
There were three young ladies in the counter, and when they looked up at the same time, they heard Sang Xiaorou calling Sun Mingliang's name, and they couldn't hide the ambiguity in their eyes, as if they were evaluating something.
After a while, the two women glanced at each other to convey the message, and only then did one pick up the phone and press the internal line.
Soon, he responded: "Miss Sang, you keep walking, and at the end of the corridor is Mr. Sun's office." ”
Standing in front of the imposing office door, Sang Xiaorou knocked politely. I thought to myself, what would the inside of his office be like? If it's just a tacky decoration, it's quite disappointing.
"Come in." Sun Mingming's deep and pleasant voice came from inside the door.
Sang Xiaorou pushed the door open and entered, and began to look at the furnishings of his office.
You can guess a person by words; In the same way, the objects in the display space are also a kind of personality statement, but this time there is not enough time for Sang Xiaorou to speculate.
She didn't even see anyone on the big desk, and after a while, she saw Sun Mingliang sitting leisurely on a group of dark brown leather sofas staring at Sang Xiaorou with a smile, as if she was arranging a hunting posture that was waiting for work but taking advantage of it.
Sang Xiaorou had to admit that Sun Mingliang was really a handsome man, very handsome. If his voice just now had thirty points of qualification to be a flowery man, now he should be a full score; Only then did he have to eat all kinds of rouge, and he only needed to hook his fingers to get Yan Slim Ring Fat.
Sang Xiaorou raised her eyebrows, glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "Mr. Sun, your office is magnificent enough!" Is the whole a local tyrant! ”
"Yo! Sang University musician, don't call me Mr. Sun, how dare I be! Come and sit down! He said in a mocking tone.
Sang Xiaorou approached him, picked the couch opposite him and sat down, and looked at him calmly, as if he was his own wax.
does not deny that Sang Xiaorou is also from the appearance association, greedy for appearance, handsome face, hanger physique; In terms of sensual pleasure, these two are indispensable, otherwise it would be too bad to treat yourself.
"Have you seen enough of the musicians?" Sun Mingliang saw that Sang Xiaorou had been looking at him directly, and couldn't help but joke with her.
"Who looks at you? Less self-inflicted and more sentimental! Sang Xiaorou was a little embarrassed by what he said, but of course she couldn't admit that she coveted his beauty!
Sun Mingliang saw Sang Xiaorou's face slightly red because of embarrassment, and felt that this little girl was more interesting, obviously she had been staring at herself, and she didn't admit it, Sun Mingliang now felt more and more that it was quite interesting to quarrel with her!
There has never been a girl who can make him feel that he will be in such a happy mood with her, is he really moved by this little girl with a mediocre appearance, a pungent personality, and an unconvinced little girl?
"Miss Ben doesn't have time to listen to your blind poverty! Let's get down to business! My time is precious! Sang Xiaorou hurriedly said in order to ease the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere.
"Oh well! I'll just listen to Miss Sang's opinion. Sun Mingliang asked with interest.
"If I can come up with a good solution, I'll use it to discuss with you!" Sang Xiaorou gave him a blank look and said.
"And Miss Sang can't think of a way? I thought there was nothing in the world that could stump Miss Sang! Sun Mingliang continued to tease her.
"Do you have any good ideas? If you're blind and poor, I'll be gone!" Sang Xiaorou got up and was about to walk to the door.
Sun Mingliang quickly stood up and grabbed her arm, pressed her back on the sofa, and then said, "I said, what are you anxious about?" It's not enough to make a few jokes and liven up the atmosphere! ”
"Oh well! The atmosphere is almost lively, what do you think, hurry up! Sang Xiaorou said a little unhappily.
"Okay, listen, I have a suggestion, do you think it's feasible?" Sun Mingliang said leisurely.
"Hurry up! Don't sell it to me! Sang Xiaorou looked at him expectantly and said.
"Since the two of them don't go on a blind date, let's go on a different way. I'm going to do a social dance in the name of the gallery this weekend, with you inviting the male guests and inviting the female guests, and then they'll both come too. If one of them leaves early with the opposite sex at the dance that night and goes on a solo date, even if whoever wins, our bet continues, how about it? Sun Mingliang proposed.
"Good! Don't say it, this idea, you're out of the blue. It seems that you are not useless either? Sang Xiaorou's interest was fully seduced, and her eyes were shining brightly and she said excitedly.
"Am I always useless in your Miss Sang's heart?" Sun Mingliang continued to quip.
"Oops! Didn't I already say that you're not useless? Okay, I don't have time to be blind with you, I'm going to hurry up and find the male guests at the prom! See you at the weekend dance! After speaking, Sang Xiaorou ran away as soon as she slipped away.
The weekend dance party was an occasion for handsome men and beautiful women, and the organizer was the owner of the "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon" gallery, that is, Sun Mingming.
Xia Xueqing and Qiao Yuxuan were moved by Sang Xiaorou and Sun Mingliang to participate in this dance, of course, they didn't know that this was actually a collective blind date event!
Xia Xueqing wore a tight-fitting black silk evening dress that night, outlining a delicate and sexy figure, slightly exposed, but a fiery red shawl turned exposure into a half-concealed temptation; The neck is equipped with a ruby necklace, and the accessories are gorgeous and sparkling from head to tail. Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the male guests present.
Of course Qiao Yuxuan also saw her! Ever since she came slowly from a distance, his gaze hadn't taken half a step off her! He didn't bother to look at the other female guests present, Xia Xueqing, his ex-wife, still occupied all his thoughts and sights.
Today's Sang Xiaorou is also dressed much more formally than before, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, her hair is braided into two ponytails, and the whole look is very pure and cute.
That's the beauty of a different style from Xia Xueqing. When Sun Mingliang saw her, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect this little girl to be so cute when she was dressed up like this!
Sang Xiaorou looked around, the female guests present today are all big beauties! And they are all beautiful!
Sun Mingming's side is really beautiful! When she thought about this, she didn't know why she had a weird feeling.
She then explained to herself that he was a playboy, golden, handsome, and of course there was no shortage of beautiful women around him! What's so strange about that!
"Hey! You... Xia Xueqing exclaimed. Because as soon as she walked into the venue, Qiao Yuxuan suddenly grabbed her, and she was caught off guard and fell into the restraint of his arms and his arms.
"Dance the first dance with me," Qiao Yuxuan's familiar voice sounded in her ears.
Without saying anything, he took her to the dance floor, and at this time the prelude to a waltz was raised. Xia Xueqing didn't even have time to think, and by the time she found out what she was doing, she was already spinning briskly like a butterfly under his leadership.
Sang Xiaorou knew that Xia Xueqing's social dance was very good, but she didn't know that Qiao Yuxuan could actually dance and dance so well!
And their combination is simply seamless!
Everyone exited the dance floor and watched their gorgeous performances with their eyes wide open. Who would believe that such a perfect performance came from a divorced couple?!
They kept to the music, spinning briskly, leaping briskly, her long hair was like black silk fluttering in the wind, and the hem of her skirt turned into white clouds in the sky and waves of rocks, sometimes swaying, sometimes swinging.
She still remembers that the first time they danced was during college, on a romantic Christmas Eve.
They had a candlelit dinner in Xia Xueqing's apartment. He put on music and invited her to dance. She had seen his amazing dancing skills, and he said that she danced beautifully.
That night, they danced one after another, dancing so much that they were so tired that they were about to die.
At that time, she was so fond of him, so infatuated with him, willing to be a cow and a horse for him, and made up her mind to be his wife, and the mere fantasy of being with him every day was enough to make her happy all day.
She restrained her lady's temper for him, restrained her habits for him, and stopped going to fashion parties and nightclubs often.
In order to please him, he didn't even dare to look through luxury magazines and jewelry magazines in front of him, for fear that he would think that she was just a superficial and ignorant daughter, who would not help him in his life and career. So she forced herself to read painting knowledge books, read art magazines, and try to create topics that would interest him.
For this love, she talked so aggrieved and compressed herself so humblely, and she was so willing at that time! Now that I think about it, I love too humbly! That's not real love at all, but the fear of losing each other, and blindly pleasing each other! What is not a big fool?
Applause rang out from all directions, applauding their superb performance for a long time.
I don't know when, the dance music has already played. She gasped and stared at him, her strength and mind were extremely exhausted, and she couldn't move for a while, so she could only stand like this.
He was gasping too, but he still seemed energetic enough to dance a hundred dances in a row.
As soon as he finished dancing with him for the first time, a Sven man with an elegant atmosphere and a good family education came over and asked politely: "Beautiful lady, can you dance with me?" ”
"Of course." Xia Xueqing looked at Qiao Yuxuan's face that was about to breathe fire, and said with a wicked smile to the man.
The man held Xia Xueqing's hand gently, with a sunny breath in his smile, and he said in a soft voice: "My name is Ma Minghao, and I am a classmate of Sang Xiaorou High School. She said there was a social dance today, and asked me to come over too. Fortunately, beautiful Miss Xia Xueqing. ”
"How do you know I'm Xia Xueqing?" She asked, puzzled.
"Miss Xia is now a celebrity in the business world! Beautiful, shrewd, and capable, she often appears on the covers of business magazines. Of course, a beautiful lady as striking as you will be known to many. It's just that I was fortunate enough to see the real face today, and Miss Xia herself is much more beautiful than in the photos. Ma Minghao praised from the bottom of his heart.
Xia Xueqing glanced at Ma Minghao from top to bottom, she had rarely seen someone whose eyes could be gentle but not individual.
Qiao Yuxuan watched Xia Xueqing spin like a butterfly dancing in the arms of other men, his eyes attracted the attention of many men present, and his heart was inexplicably on fire!
Just when he wanted to go out to breathe, a young but very charming person, with a kind of delicate gestures. She can't say that she is extremely beautiful, but a very beautiful and seductive girl also walks towards him.
"Mr. Qiao, can you invite me to dance too?" The young girl asked with expectant eyes.
"Alright! Please! Qiao Yuxuan looked at Xia Xueqing on the dance floor, and felt a sense of revenge in his heart.
"Mr. Qiao's dance just now was really good, huh? You must have learned it before, right? The girl asked curiously.
"You've won a prize! I just learned a little bit before when I was in college. Qiao Yuxuan said modestly.
"My name is Wang Yun'er, and I am Sun Mingliang's cousin. I'm here today when he throws a social ball. I often hear my cousin mention you, Mr. Qiao is a good painter, and he is also a talent! Wang Yun'er said.
"Miss Wang, you have won the prize." Qiao Yuxuan replied politely, wondering if she knew her surname was Qiao? It turned out to be Sun Mingming's cousin.
"I said, the musician is dressed so ceremoniously today, it looks like I have to invite you to dance?" Sun Mingliang also walked to Sang Xiaorou's side and said.
"Oh well! Miss Ben is in a good mood today, so I'll reward you with this face. Sang Xiaorou said as she stretched out her hand to Sun Mingming.
"Who is that bewitching woman dancing with Qiao Yuxuan?" Sang Xiaorou asked.
"What's so bewitching? Is that sexy? She is my cousin, Wang Yun'er, the owner of "Lihua Boutique". Sun Mingliang explained.
"Your cousin? No wonder? Just like you! Sang Xiaorou shook her head and said.
"What do you mean to be like me? What's wrong with me? Sun Mingliang saw her shake his head and asked with some puzzlement.
"Good-looking, golden-like men don't have a good thing! Sexy, rich women aren't any better than that! must be pretentious, the eldest lady is very willful! Sang Xiaorou said disdainfully.
"I said, why do you think that good-looking and rich people are not very good? Isn't Xia Xueqing also beautiful and rich? Besides, you don't look ugly! You're also a famous pianist! It's not bad money! Aren't you two any better? Sun Mingliang retorted.
"You don't talk nonsense! Of course I'm different from Xueqing! People like us are so rare! Hum! Qiao Yuxuan is so unblessed! Sang Xiaorou said hatefully.
"By the way, who is the man dancing with Xia Xueqing now?" Sun Mingliang knew that what Sang Xiaorou decided would not be changed easily, so he stopped arguing with her and changed the topic.
"Him! His name is Ma Minghao, he is my high school classmate, he used to play the cello, and then his family did not let him inherit the family business, and now he is the president of the Ma Group. Young and promising, handsome and chic, with a super good temper! It's much better than Qiao Yuxuan! Sang Xiaorou proudly introduced.
"Is that the Ma Group that is engaged in real estate development?" Sun Mingliang asked.
"Yes! Well-known enterprises! He is also involved in investing in fashion, film and television and other art industries. It's a perfect match with Xueqing! Sang Xiaorou said with a smile.
"Don't be too happy! Xia Xueqing may not necessarily take a fancy to him! Sun Mingliang said unconvinced.
"Anyway, it's more reliable than your bewitching cousin! If Qiao Yuxuan falls in love with her, he will be a tasteless person! Then he only deserves to find a vase with big breasts and no brains! Sang Xiaorou retorted.
Sun Mingliang continued to fight with Sang Xiaorou, the music stopped, and the dance ended.
In the next dance party, Xia Xueqing and Qiao Yuxuan were dancing with different people, and the two kept staring at each other's dance partners while dancing!
But as long as some men hugged Xia Xueqing a little tighter, Qiao Yuxuan's face would breathe fire!
Looking at the red expression on his face, Xia Xueqing secretly blossomed in her heart and danced harder.
But until the end of the dance, they didn't leave the stage with anyone in advance, and it seems that Sang Xiaorou and Sun Mingming's gamble has come to naught again!
However, at the dance, there are two people whose eyes have not left since they saw Xia Xueqing and Qiao Yuxuan, and that is Ma Minghao and Wang Yun'er! They all decided that Xia Xueqing and Qiao Yuxuan were the other half they were looking for, in order to pursue their sweethearts, what kind of tricks would they use? The courtship march is about to begin!
