Chapter Twenty-Three: Sorry, I'm Late

Previous Chapter

As night falls, the dinner is lit up with a variety of ornate decorative lights, eclipsing the starry sky. The hall is more than 1,000 square meters of special cocktail reception venue, and the lights are brilliant. At this moment, under the playing of the band, elegant dance music floats around every corner. On the wide dance floor in the venue, several pairs of men and women danced beautifully.

Hundreds of guests with extraordinary temperament and elegant conversation whispered, and from time to time there was the sound of wine glasses clattering. There are a lot of young and promising men with successful careers today, Xu Qiubai sat in the corner and looked blankly at Xin Moyan dancing in the center of the dance floor, thinking to himself: This is the ninth person to invite her.

Zhang Xichen greeted the guests one by one, and looked at the slightly lonely Xu Qiubai and quipped: "It seems that Miss Xin Moyan, the representative of the permanent group, is very popular."

Xu Qiubai sighed, "Yes, from the moment she came in until now, I haven't had time to say a word to her, where are these people from, just come uninvited, and they have been surrounding Mo Yan, even if they are the representatives of the permanent group, this is too exaggerated!" ”

Zhang Xichen said stupidly: "Many of these guests are the management of enterprises in T City, and there are many sons and daughters of family businesses, but the strange thing is that most of the guests who came today are male guests, and there are really few female guests. ”

Xu Qiubai recalled that when she entered the venue just now, she was wearing a white off-the-shoulder evening dress, and her hair was pulled into an elegant French bun, only to see her smiling, like a gorgeous peony blooming indulgently, and like a gentle rising sun, which made people's eyes shine. People can't help but have a feeling of wanting to be close and cared for, just like back then.

Zhang Xichen looked at Xu Qiubai, who was still and handed over a glass of wine: "Half a year ago, didn't you catch up, hey, now the opportunity is there, go ahead!" ”

Xu Qiubai: "Go, what did I say?" ”

Zhang Xichen motioned for him to look in the direction of Xin Moyan: "Oh, you don't go, someone is going, so many people are around, if Zixin would have been impatient" Before Zhang Xichen finished speaking, Xu Qiubai disappeared, leaving only an empty wine glass and a gust of cold wind blowing~~

Xin Moyan is very chaotic now, she didn't like crowded occasions very much, but today there are a lot of people around her need to socialize, originally decided to study abroad, just because she didn't want to be a victim of the business family, but she didn't expect that after returning to China, she still couldn't escape her grandfather's arrangement, although she only entered the company as a job, but she could also predict what happened later.

When I met Xu Qiubai half a year ago, it was indeed an accident, she was young and ignorant in middle school, and she couldn't let go of it, and when she came back this time, she just wanted to make herself die, so when Zixin found her, she agreed to the class reunion without hesitation. She thought that nine years had already made her forget Xu Qiubai, but she didn't expect to be a little surprised when she really met him, but when she saw him holding the child in his hand and another woman standing beside him, her heart was still astringent.

Zhuo Ming's sudden return to China made Wen Hui at a loss, what did Xu Qiubai want to tell her? She was actually very apprehensive, so she ran away, and she decided to let herself think about it first.

Just as Mo Yan was politely responding to everyone, two nice male voices broke the situation, and two tall figures squeezed in from different directions.

I saw a person's face as if engraved with distinct facial features, and the angular face was handsome and abnormal. On the outside, it seems to be debauched and unconventional, but the inattentive light in the eyes makes people dare not despise it. With dark and dense hair, and a pair of long peach tree eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, they are full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful. The tall nose and moderately thick red lips are smiling with a dizzying smile at this time.

And the other bad smile, even the two thick eyebrows are soft ripples, as if they have always been smiling, crooked, like a white wind in the night sky. The white flesh skin sets off the pale pink lips, the handsome and convex facial features, the perfect face shape, especially the dazzling diamond stud earrings in the left ear, which adds a touch of uninhibited to his sunny handsomeness...

The two beautiful faces made everyone silent.

"Sorry! I'm late."

"Sorry! I'm late."

The two men looked at each other, and there was a strange atmosphere around them, Xu Qiubai looked at the stud man who was about the same height as himself, and he subconsciously straightened his chest, showing his height advantage!

In the face of everyone's attention, neither of them moved, they were looking at each other, and everyone saw that the sons of the Zhuo family were coming, so they dispersed boringly. But there are a few good people who are waiting to see a good show.

Mo Yan looked at the two of them, a little overwhelmed, about Zhuo Ming, she knew what was going on, but Xu Qiubai was a little confused, "Uh。。。。。 I'll introduce you" As he spoke, he looked at Xu Qiubai and said to Zhuo Ming: "Zhuo Ming, this is Xu Qiubai, the person in charge of the studio who cooperated with the permanent group this time" and then looked at Xu Qiubai: "Qiubai, this is... ”

Before Mo Yan finished speaking, Zhuo Ming politely stretched out his hand, with his delicate evil smile: "It turns out that you are Xu Qiubai, I am Mo Yan's boyfriend Zhuo Ming for four years in college, hello!" ”

Xu Qiubai was stunned for a moment, and at the same time held the other party's hand, and responded: "Hello, I am Xu Qiubai, the little hair of Moyan Middle School, and I have admired my name for a long time!" ”

Hearing this answer, not only Mo Yan and Zhuo Ming, but even Xu Qiubai himself was startled, and when shaking hands, it seemed that the two were also secretly competing.

Song Ke has been entertaining guests, and finally when he was free, he encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime moment, he came over with the psychology of the people who ate melons, and just heard the self-introduction with a strong smell of gunpowder! Song Ke appended to Mo Yan's ear and quipped, "You politely rejected the first nine people, just to wait for themβ€”to come?" ”

Xin Moyan held her forehead, she never thought that she would be in such a situation when she met him again.

The dinner went smoothly and the signing session was a success! Xu Qiubai has always wanted to talk to Mo Yan since he knew that person was Zhuo Ming, he can't wait, and he doesn't want to wait, he must know what Mo Yan's attitude is towards him, because he can feel that Mo Yan still cares about him, from the time of the class reunion, he feels it, but he needs to verify, so he has to talk to her!

After the party, Song Ke saw Xu Qiubai's intentions, so he took Zhuo Ming away in the name of reminiscing, and asked Xu Qiubai to promise to help him talk to Qiao Lan about his ideas, and there was no guarantee of success.

Xin Moyan attended the dinner for the first time on behalf of the permanent group, and the guests who came to admire it were indispensable entertainment, and Moyan, who was already slightly drunk, sat in the car and let Xu Qiubai take her for a ride. Long...
