Chapter Sixty-Nine: Someone Else's Birthday
Feng Nuan obviously didn't expect that Ling Xiangsi would be so cold to her, and after her eyes were stunned, she didn't know what to say for a while.
It took a long time for her to react, and then she smiled reluctantly, "In this way, why is Acacia here alone and not dancing with others?" β
"I don't like it." Ling Xiangsi took a sip of wine coldly, and the inexplicable irritability in her heart still did not dissipate.
Especially after thinking about the Wei family.
Feng Nuan was annoyed by her attitude, but she could only maintain a gentle smile on her face, and then continued to talk, "Acacia, when did you and the director meet, we don't even know." β
Ling Xiangsi didn't speak, just lowered his eyes silently.
Seeing that she didn't speak, a moment of anger flashed in Feng Nuan's eyes, but it was fleeting, "It seems that Acacia doesn't want to say it, so forget it......"
After a half-silence, Ling Xiangsi still didn't say a word.
Untilβ
"It's over?" A deep voice rang out in his ears.
Before Ling Xiangsi could react, her slender waist was grabbed by a person, and then she leaned close to her chest.
"Second young ......" she wrung her brows and raised her eyebrows, and saw Huo Yunzhao's delicate and graceful jaw clearly emerging in her sight.
Seeing this, Feng Nuan on the other side was also overjoyed, and he clenched the bag in his hand excitedly, and couldn't help but take a step forward, "Director Huo, I ......"
It's just that before she finished speaking, she was coldly interrupted by Huo Yunzhao.
"Go dance."
As he spoke, he grabbed Ling Xiangsi's waist, and he didn't care about the warmth, and with a slight force on his arm, he brought her onto the dance floor.
And Feng Nuan, who couldn't help talking just now, could only watch Huo Yunzhao leave with Ling Xiangsi, and didn't look at her more than a glance from beginning to end.
"Is that the wind heating in the same department as Ling Xiangsi? She probably wanted to dance with the director. β
"You see that she is dressed so beautifully today, she must be here for the director."
"But it's really embarrassing, the director ignored her just now......"
Listening to the constant chatter in his ears, Feng Nuan's body stiffened, his fingers clenched, but it took a long time to recover, and then he turned around and disappeared into the hall.
It doesn't matter, there will always be a chance......
On the other side, Ling Xiangsi was forcibly taken into the dance floor by Huo Yunzhao to dance, just like last time, she would step on Huo Ershao's feet from time to time, or pull his blazer.
But Huo Yunzhao didn't seem to care at all, and the palm holding her waist was still pressing.
"What were you guys talking about?" Half-loud, Huo Yunzhao lowered his eyes and asked in a deep tone.
Hearing this, Ling Xiangsi naturally immediately remembered what Qiao Xi had said to her about the Wei family just now.
Somehow, after she was silent for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Er Shao, are you and the Wei family incompatible?" β
Huo Yunzhao obviously didn't expect her to ask this, his eyes were obviously stunned, but he still reacted quickly, "It's okay, it's just that there is some friction in business, what's the matter, are you worried that I will deal with the Wei family?" β
As he spoke, Huo Yunzhao ambiguously sprayed hot air on her cheeks, and his tone was hoarse, "As long as you are still here, I will not deal with the Wei family." β
The meaning of these words is obviously obvious, if she runs away one day, he will definitely take the Wei family first.
Ling Xiangsi pursed her lips, and her heart became complicated for a while.
The Wei family is indeed not in her consideration, but now, she has not yet graduated, and she has not much ability to completely leave the control of the Wei family.
Unless, there is someone who can help her.
And Huo Yunzhao, no matter what aspect it is, is obviously the best choice.
"I see." Ling Xiangsi lowered his head and said these words, but the emotions in his eyes did not leak out.
The drinking party didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening, as the organizer, Huo Yunzhao naturally stayed until the end, and it wasn't until the people from other companies were gone that he led Ling Xiangsi back to the villa.
Inside the bedroom.
After Ling Xiangsi took a bath, she lay on the bed in a trance and looked at the ceiling in a trance.
Huo Yunzhao was taking a bath now, and there was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom, but Ling Xiangsi, who had not been able to provoke him, paid the slightest attention.
Suddenlyβ
The phone on the bedside table rang.
Ling Xiangsi came back to her senses at this time, and then fumbled and picked up the phone and put it to her ear, "Hey? β
"Acacia, it's me." On the other end of the phone, a familiar middle-aged female voice immediately came, with a hint of gentle smile.
Ling Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, then put down his phone and glanced at the screen.
It's really Zhou Xianglan.
"Mom, why are you calling me now, is there something wrong?" She deliberately lowered her voice, obviously not wanting Huo Yunzhao to hear anything in the bathroom.
"Acacia, I went to look for you today and found that you were not there, where are you now?" Zhou Xianglan asked suspiciously, with concern in her tone.
Ling Xiangsi lowered her eyes, paused, and immediately changed her face, smiled sweetly, and didn't notice anything unusual, "The rent over there is due, so I'll change places, and I'll be with Weiwei now, don't worry." β
Hearing Chu Weiwei's name, Zhou Xianglan was indeed a lot more relieved, "That's good, you and Weiwei are together, and Mom can rest assured." β
"By the way, Mom, is there something wrong with calling so late?" The brisk tone did not change, and Ling Xiangsi then asked.
Zhou Xianglan then remembered, and then said with a smile, "It's Xiaojing's birthday in two days, you can come back, it's just a time for the family to get together." β
Wei Jing's birthday?
Ling Xiangsi lowered his eyes, "I've found a job now, and I may not have much time to take leave to go back." β
She still remembers that on her birthday last year, only Weiwei bought her a cake, and that night, Zhou Xianglan didn't come over because Wei Jing was sick and needed to be taken care of......
The tip of his nose was slightly sour, and Ling Xiangsi suddenly felt aggrieved, but he didn't say a word.
"But it's rarely Xiaojing's birthday, so you can come back and invite you as a mother." Zhou Xianglan's gentle tone still carried a strength that she couldn't refuse.
Ling Xiangsi bit her lip and didn't respond immediately.
"Mom, I really don't ......"
"Acacia, don't embarrass your mother, okay?" Zhou Xianglan sighed lightly, and her tone was slightly low.
Ling Xiangsi was instantly blocked from all his words.
After a long time, she smiled, but her fingers squeezed the phone tighter and tighter, "I know, Mom, I'll pass that day." β
Asking her to go so hard, it should have been Wei Jing's mention......
"I knew that Acacia was the most well-behaved." Zhou Xianglan smiled with satisfaction.
Ling Xiangsi responded lightly, didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone directly after a while.
