Bai Cen's waist suddenly tightened, and the next moment, she was already backed by a solid embrace. There seemed to be a cold smell on the man's body, which made Bai Cen's heart beat faster. She didn't dare to look up at Lu Jingnian's expression at this time, so she only habitually shrank into the man's arms.

But what is obvious is that Lu Jingnian's momentum at this moment is still as cold as an ice cube.

The male fan who was still pestering Bai Cen looked at the eyes of the man behind Bai Cen, his face was scornful, and he took a step back directly, almost saying that he ran away: "No...... Don't bother anymore. ”

The trouble was finally solved, and Bai Cen breathed a sigh of relief. The crowd around them had made room for the two of them because of the dispute just now.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she just wanted to speak, but before half a byte could blurt out, the hand on her waist had been quietly released.

"You ......" Bai Cen subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to stay, but when she turned around, all she saw was the man's faint look.

The man's gaze swept lightly over Bai Cen, as indifferent as if the two had never met at all.

Without even a word of greeting, the man put his hand back in the pocket of his suit, as if he didn't even have the action of reaching out for her just now.

Bai Cen's throat was blocked by the man's indifferent face, and she tightened the hem of her skirt, in the end, reason prevailed. Seeing Lu Jingnian step by step away from her line of sight, she didn't stretch out her hand to hold it.

Pursing his lips a little astringent, Bai Cen took a goblet from the snack table, and the juice in his mouth was just as sweet as it covered the confusion at the corners of his mouth.

After Lu Jingnian left, the crowd around Bai Cen finally regained their enthusiasm. But for a while, no one came up to talk, until one of the focal points of this banquet walked up to her with raised eyebrows: "Miss Bai, the man you had in mind just now?" ”

Sensing a bit of interest in Rong Xingong's tone, Bai Cen didn't pay attention to the other party, she lowered her gaze, and let Rong Xingong continue to ask: "Why did you just call a person and leave?" It's too much to live up to your affection for him......"

Regarding Rong Xingong's questions, Bai Cen also had doubts.

Since the other party has come forward to help him out of the siege, why is he stingy to leave her a word? But the tacit understanding made her choose to believe in men, and she took advantage of the fact that the crowd's attention to her was slowly weakening, and gradually approached the direction where Lu Jingnian left.

After stepping out of the banquet hall, she trotted straight up.

It's a pity that in this small garden with a direct passage, there is no figure she has been looking forward to for a long time.

Pretending to look at the scenery, Bai Cen visited almost all the inside and outside of the villa, but until the banquet was nearing the end, she did not find any trace of the man.

"Get in the car." Rong Xingong gentlemanly stayed by her side, whispering to remind her to restrain her overly trance-like gaze. Bai Cen took one last look at the brightly lit villa, gritted his teeth, and finally put aside the doubts and worries in his heart for the time being.

There was no word on the way back.

Rong's mother noticed Bai Cen's strange reaction, and thought she was tired, so after arriving at Rong's house, she also thoughtfully sent Bai Cen a cup of hot milk.

The Rong family's villa quickly returned to the tranquility that it should have at night.

And Bai Cen leaned on the head of the bed, watching the hot milk in his hand gradually fade, and his body did not feel sleepy.

She couldn't control herself from remembering everything that happened at the banquet, and the contact with the man made her more and more immersed in the thoughts of the man.

Under the dim bedside lamp, Bai Cen was always tossing and turning.

When the sound of "buckle" sounded in the room, Bai Cen didn't react for a while. However, this voice was quite persistent, and it always sounded again and again, which made Bai Cen have to care.

But when she cast her eyes in the direction where the voice came from, she was stunned.

The night outside the window was like water, and the silhouette of the man clinging to the glass window was slightly blurred by the reflection of the bedside lamp, and at the same time blurred Bai Cen's eyes.

She almost jumped out of bed to push open the glass window, and the cold air in the middle of the night unceremoniously rushed into the room, with the cold breath of the man's body, which made Bai Cen subconsciously want to rely on the past.

"Cen Cen Cen." Different from the banquet, Lu Jingnian at this moment not only made a sound, but also had a little tenderness on his expression: "Do you want to help me?" ”

At first glance, seeing Lu Jingnian appear, Bai Cen's heart was actually occupied by ecstasy. But at this moment, seeing the man standing outside the glass window with a light smile, a trace of grievance emerged in the corner of her heart.

The corners of the woman's mouth were flat, and she only stretched out her forearm to let Lu Jingnian rely on it, and her face was clearly full of anger.

"Why are you ignoring me? Well? Looking at Bai Cen's small expression, the smile on the corner of Lu Jingnian's mouth deepened. He quickly climbed through the glass window and hugged Bai Cen's petite figure in his arms: "It's me who is wrong, okay?" ”

Bai Cen still didn't mean to deal with the man.

She bit her lower lip slightly, and twisted her face awkwardly when the man pulled in the distance between her and her, and in desperation, Lu Jingnian had no choice but to continue to coax people: "I didn't deliberately ignore you at the banquet today, you see, I'm not here to find you?" ”

The sourness filled the tip of Bai Cen's nose, and she took a deep breath and forcibly held back the tears.

Lu Jingnian discovered the woman's grievances, and hurriedly and patiently explained to her: "I don't dare to get too involved with you at the banquet...... The Lu family has been in turmoil recently, and I'm worried that someone will implicate you because of our contact. ”

In fact, Bai Cen had already guessed this, and listening to the man's gentle tone coaxing her, the corner of her heart slowly softened.

"Since that's the case...... Bai Cen let go of his biting lower lip and slowly looked into the man's deep eyes: "I accept your explanation." ”

Looking at Bai Cen, who finally took the initiative to lean into his arms, Lu Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with concern: "Why are you in the Rong family?" ”

Bai Cen summarized her experience in a few simple sentences, trying to make everything seem light, but she still found a trace of distress in the man's eyes, and this distress alone made Bai Cen feel satisfied.

"I didn't suffer anything too much." Bai Cen raised his hand to brush away the wrinkles in the man's eyebrows, and felt the sweetness of being cared for in his heart.

But she didn't soak up the gentle and harmonious atmosphere for long, and when her mood eased a little, she asked another question that made her very concerned.

You know, at the banquet today, she was shocked when she saw a man without a mask.

She traced the man's silhouette with her gaze, and her face without a mask made Lu Jingnian look even more heroic, but it also made her a little unaccustomed to it.

Bai Cen coughed lightly, covering his flushed cheeks, and then asked, "Why don't you pretend?" ”
