Ning Duhan's hand was still around Su Xiaoxiao's waist, and when Alyssa said that she would choose her own dance partner, he had already guessed that she would come this way.

The affairs that Ning Duhan has dealt with in the past two days, as well as the sudden guidance of the European consortiums, how can Ning Duhan's acumen not be able to find the clues.

And so it was.

Ning Duhan sneered in his heart, and the smile on his face was extremely faint: "I won't be sorry, so Miss Brutus can find another one." ”

Immediately, there was a whisper of discussion in the crowd.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Ning Duhan would directly refuse.

There was no trace of embarrassment on Alyssa's face, she smiled, did not push, her beautiful blue eyes looked straight at Ning Twilight, and said in fluent standard Chinese: "But if I want to invite you, don't you have a saying in China, called hospitality?" ”

"Yes," Ning Twilight replied in Chinese in a cold voice, "but we still have a saying in China, called do what you can, I am not good at dancing, I am afraid that it will drag down your wonderful opening dance, so Miss Brutus please be smart." ”

Alyssa didn't give up: "But Mr. Ning, it's hard to be gracious, but it's disrespectful, are you disrespectful to me?" ”

"Respect is what describes elders."

Alyssa stepped forward, stretched out her hand, raised the microphone with her other hand, and said in Qingyue's French: "Dear Mr. Ning Duhan, as the host of tonight's party, can I invite you to dance with me?" ”

Ning Duhan's expression was suppressed, and she looked at Alyssa for a long time, her dark eyes seemed to be smiling, meaningful, and there was an undercurrent that no one could understand.

Alyssa's eyes sparkled and challenged.

"Huh?" Alyssa raised an eyebrow and tilted her head.

"I'm sorry," Ning Duhan replied with a faint smile, "I can't." ”

After speaking, he no longer had a good temper, and he didn't want to say any more, so he bowed slightly to Alyssa, nodded, and then took Su Xiaoxiao's waist and walked to the other side.

The audience automatically backed away and made way for them.

Alyssa stood in place, still holding the microphone, and watched Ning Duhan leave without saving any face with her eyes open, and the anger in her heart rose suddenly.

The chatter around her gradually came, and Alyssa blinked her eyes, trying to swallow the anger in her heart.

Today she is the hostess of the party, she can't be a little rude, other people's party can make trouble, her own party is troublesome, who will save the scene.

She adjusted her mood, bent her lips and smiled, turned around with the microphone, and made a playful and helpless expression: "Maybe my beauty is not enough, my boyfriend didn't like me." ”

The audience who was waiting to watch the play laughed and laughed, and applauded one after another.

Alyssa shrugged her shoulders and said pitifully: "Then I'll choose another male partner, if you don't like me again this time, then I'll ......"

She raised her left hand and waved her fist on her delicate face like a beckoning cat, and said aggrievedly: "I'll cry for everyone to see, and then everyone will deal with this bad guy who doesn't care about me, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Good!" The guests applauded and admired the 22-year-old girl's ability to be on the spot.

Alyssa smiled back, and then, with everyone's enthusiastic support, continued to smile and choose her next dance partner.

Su Xiaoxiao was hugged by Ning Duhan, and felt a little confused when she walked away.

When there was laughter behind her, she eased up, raised her head and whispered: "Ning Duhan, she has a good birthday today, and she is the host of the party, it doesn't seem good for you to reject her so directly......

Ning Duhan lowered his head when he heard this, and said coldly: "Then I promise her?" ”

"I'm not a person without grace," Su Xiaoxiao pouted, "Isn't it just a dance, it's a big deal." ”

"But I don't want to touch her."

"Then you can't refuse so simply." Su Xiaoxiao still didn't feel good, "It's all said, it's her birthday." ”

"A tactful refusal is always leaving room for others." Ning Duhan looked at Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, "If you reject others, you must be neat, whether it's in this matter or other things, understand?" ”

It seems to make sense, but Su Xiaoxiao can't help but feel that a strong person like Ning Duhan, even if he refuses politely, will make others feel that he is very direct and straightforward.

At this time, a waiter passed by, and Ning Duhan let go of Su Xiaoxiao's back and went over there to carry two glasses of wine.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around, only to find that Chen Anqi didn't follow them, and she didn't know where she went.

She looked around, Ning Duhan came back with two glasses of wine, and handed Su Xiaoxiao a cup: "What are you looking for?" ”

"Angel." Su Xiaoxiao frowned, "I don't know where I went." ”

Ning Duhan said "um", raised his head and took a sip of wine.

"Cold!" A voice that was a little old, but the English pronunciation was very pure, suddenly sounded.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around, and the person who came was an old British man in his sixties, with a very straight body, deep eyebrows and eyes, and a very high status at a glance with the cane in his hand.

Ning Duhan smiled slightly and said politely, "Count Hall." ”

"I thought you weren't coming." Earl Hal smiled, "It seems that the Brutus family still has a big face and can invite you." ”

"I'm surprised they could invite you." Ning Duhan replied.

"Hahaha!" Earl Hal smiled happily and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, "Who is this, your wife?" ”

"Yes."

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Earl Hal." Su Xiaoxiao shouted after Ning Duhan and replied in fluent English.

"Oh," nodded approvingly from Earl Hall, "your English is very good. ”

Su smiled generously: "Thank you." ”

"I haven't seen your wife before," Earl Hal looked at Ning Duhan, "this is the first time you've brought her out to an evening like this, right?" ”

"Yes." Ning Duhan put his arm around Su Xiaoxiao's waist.

"Very good performance, no informality at all, a very beautiful young lady." Earl Hal approvingly.

Although it was brought out by Ning Duhan for the first time, Su Xiaoxiao is also the daughter of the Su Group, and she has been used to drinking parties since she was a child.

She smiled and nodded, feeling a little relieved in her heart, and said to Ning Duhan: "I'll go find Anqi, you can talk to Earl Hal." ”

This is said in English for the sake of politeness.

Ning Duhan nodded: "Okay, don't go too far." ”

"Hmm."

Su Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Earl Hal, and then turned to leave.

The banquet was very large, and it was hosted in the hall on the first floor of the entire main castle.

There were a lot of people who came to the cocktail party, Su Xiaoxiao walked to a banquet table while looking for it, her feet were already aching, and at the same time, she didn't dare to go far, lest she couldn't find Ning Duhan later.

She took a small tray from the cutlery rack and was about to take two cream cakes when she was hit on the back and she almost didn't fall over the cake.

"Don't you have long eyes? Didn't see anyone coming? ”

"Can you walk?"

Two contemptuous female voices snorted behind them.

At the same time, Alyssa in the distance retracted her gaze carelessly, chuckling at the corner of her lips.
