Ning Zhi held his breath and handed his hand to Xi Lanyu.

It was not until this moment that she had a real sense of what kind of identity and status Xi Lan symbolized in Beicheng.

After the two of them received their certificates, most of their activities were limited to Beijiangwan, and even if they went to other places with him, they were private places like mountain villas and the old mansion of the Xi family, and they would not face so many scrutiny eyes.

But now, here.

As soon as Ning Zhi got out of the car, he was almost overwhelmed by the scary or curious gazes that came from all directions.

She held Xi Lanyu's hand uncontrollably tightened.

Xi Lanyu squeezed her palm soothingly, and his hand hanging by his side naturally put on Ning Zhi's waist, and Ning Zhi shrank slightly when he felt the coldness.

This posture, in the eyes of outsiders, is more like Ning Zhi taking the initiative to lean into Xi Lanyu's arms.

Xi Lanyu quietly hooked his lower lip, the hand on her waist slowly tightened, and his thumb inadvertently crossed Ning Zhi's back waist. Nest.

Ning Zhi subconsciously wanted to hide, but was slightly exerted by Xi Lanyu and pressed back into his arms.

He held Ning Zhi's waist, and when he walked, he leaned over slightly, and answered Ning Zhi's worries in a deep voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

"Correct you two things."

"1. You will come to these occasions often in the future, and there will always be a day to adapt."

"Second, with me, don't be afraid, do whatever you want, feel free."

Ning Zhi couldn't help but glance up at him.

From her point of view, you can see Xi Lanyu's neat side face, and under the glitz, his cold and dusty face looks out of place in this Vanity Fair.

But how strange it is that the one who is clearly the most disdainful of setting foot in has the absolute ability to stir up this pool of capital.

……

Ning Zhi has walked many roads from small to large, but there has never been a section of the road that makes her feel that it is as long as today.

As soon as they entered the door, someone with a wine glass came to Xi Lanyu to talk.

In this kind of social situation, the conversation always has to find an entry point, and Ning Zhi was unfortunately chosen.

"Mr. Xi." The man smiled, "Who is this next to you?" ”

Xi Lanyu gently hugged her waist, and when she heard the words, she lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Ning Zhi, her voice low and gentle, "My wife." ”

The man seemed a little surprised, turned his head and looked at Ning Zhi carefully, and asked with a smile, "Why haven't you heard that Mr. Xi is reluctant to bring the beautiful woman out, right?" ”

Xi Lanyu hooked his lips, "No, I will invite you to the wedding banquet another day." ”

After a few tentative conversations, the man was relieved.

It turned out that Xi Lanyu had not yet held the wedding because he had obtained the certificate first, and it was not because he had competed with Beichen last time that he had offended him.

The house is full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, and the plans are staggered.

Each man talks with each other, and the words are hidden in the words, and the knife is hidden in the knife.

Ning Zhi leaned back slightly, almost leaning into Xi Lanyu's arms, and her hand holding the wine glass rubbed unconsciously.

These business dealings have nothing to do with her, and she doesn't care.

What she cares about is that it seems that from tonight onwards, everyone here will know about her relationship with Xi Lanyu.

Before this, they were actually closer to a hidden marriage, and if it weren't for the last resort in the hospital, Ning Zhi would definitely not take the initiative to disclose this relationship.

She always thought that Xi Lanyu also thought the same way.

Therefore, when he asked her to be his female companion, Ning Zhi thought that he would only be a whim in Xi Lanyu's mouth.

Or, at most, they are partners with some interests.

But she didn't expect it at all......

Xi Lanyu will be so calm.

Ning Zhi lowered his head and pretended to be calm and took a sip of wine.

She suddenly had a feeling.

Between them, from that night in the parking lot, something seemed to be slowly different.

But......

Before Ning Zhi could come up with the result, he heard Zheng Yiman's excited voice, "Zhizhi! Mr. Xi! ”

Thankfully, her savior came.

Ning Zhi quickly withdrew from Fang Cai's emotions and looked at Zheng Yiman, "Full? ”

Seeing this, Zheng Yiman wanted to step forward and hold Ning Zhi's arm, but Xi Lanyu had such a strong aura, she was a little stunned.

After thinking about it, she looked at Xi Lanyu and said, "Mr. Xi, can you lend me your wife for a while?" ”

"You don't know, I haven't been able to make an appointment with her recently, either I say I want to take care of you at home, or I'm worried about what you're looking for her, I've been dating for more than a month, I feel that if this continues, sooner or later, your weight in Zhizhi's heart will be heavier than mine's best friend!"

I don't know which of Zheng Yiman's words pleases Xi Lanyu, he let go of his hand, looked down at Ning Zhi, and his voice was clear, "Go ahead." ”

Zheng Yiman said "hey", pulling Ning Zhi to leave, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around, "By the way, Mr. Xi, I made an appointment with your secretary last time, but I didn't make an appointment, you can see when you are free, I want to talk to you about the business plan after the gallery." ”

Xi Lanyu raised his chin slightly and pointed to Zhang Yi not far away, "Have you made an appointment with him?" ”

Zheng Yiman shook his head, "It's not him, it seems to be a younger one." ”

Xi Lanyu said "um", "Next time I look for him, Zhang Yi will arrange it alone." ”

……

Lounge area.

Zheng Yiman put the wine glass on the table, and looked at Ning Zhi with his cheeks raised, "Zhizhi, do you know what Mr. Xi's behavior was just now?" ”

Ning Zhi frowned, "Didn't you say that the ...... of the future report gallery"

"Wrong!" Before Ning Zhi could finish speaking, he was categorically interrupted by Zheng Yiman, "You only see the surface. Mr. Xi's move just now is actually for the sake of your face, and he will do it for me. ”

Ning Zhi sighed, "Is there one?" Xi Lanyu is a businessman, I think it's mainly because your gallery is profitable, right? ”

Zheng Yiman squinted his eyes and shook his head firmly, "My gallery is completely a little mess in front of Beichen, and Xi Lanyu will take a fancy to my little profit?" She approached Ning Zhi and asked, "Do you remember that when I just saw Xi Lanyu, I didn't know how many layers of relationships I needed, but now?" ”

Ning Zhi's fingertips clasped his palm, "It may be you......"

Zheng Yi was full of urgency, she gently bumped Ning Zhi's shoulder, "I'll tell you, it's impossible, with my years of experience in falling in love, Xi Lanyu likes you nine times out of ten." ”

Ning Zhi was still a little hesitant, she didn't dare to delve into these unrealistic ideas.

Zheng Yiman glanced at the meeting room and said, "To be honest, I only felt a little bit before, but I'm almost sure now. ”

"Xi Lanyu has never brought any female companions openly before you. Actually, he hasn't been here for this kind of occasion much in recent years. ”

Ning Zhi frowned slightly, "Why?" ”

Zheng Yiman took a sip of wine, "These dinners have nice names, but in the final analysis, they are just business talks in disguise, and Beichen's grade does not need to exchange interests here at all." ”

Ning Zhi said "oh".

Zheng Yiman suddenly approached, she stared at Ning Zhi's eyes, "Zhizhi, but he brought you here today, do you know, this is actually him showing your face and telling these people in the circle that you are covered by him." Eh, you're so smart, don't tell me, you don't feel like he's any different from you. ”

Ning Zhi was inexplicably a little nervous by Zheng Yiman's tone.

However, the mess in her heart seemed to gradually sort out a little clue.

She was silent for a moment, and then said with little confidence, "But he never talked about it." ”

Zheng Yiman nodded Ning Zhi's head, "Oh, I'm really convinced." Let me make a hypothesis, what would you do if he told you now that he liked you? ”

Ning Zhi leaned back slightly, and when her body was close to the sofa, she spoke, her voice was very soft, and she was unconsciously confused, "Manman, you know my mother's business." I may be ...... about feelings Not very positive...... Frankly, if he really likes me...... I don't know...... I guess I'll want to hide myself and think about it again......"

Zheng Yiman slapped his hands with both hands, "It's not enough, just like you shrunken little king, people don't dare to play straight balls with you." ”

Ning Zhi was made to laugh and cry by Zheng Yiman's analogy, "What are you talking about?" ”

Zheng Yiman glanced at her eyes in the interval between her speeches, as if she saw some acquaintance, she got up to leave, patted Ning Zhi, and finally said, "Anyway, you should think about it." Xi Lanyu and Qian Weiyuan are in the same heaven and one underground, I don't think you need to miss Xi Lanyu's best because of him. Anyway, he's right to you, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's really good. ”

"Zhizhi," Zheng Yiman stood in front of her, looking at her and said, "whether a man loves you or not, whether he says it or not, he will definitely not be able to deceive people in his actions." ”

……

Not long after Zheng Yiman left, Ning Zhi sat down for a while and felt a little bored.

She was about to go out to breathe, and as soon as she stood up, she saw Xi Lanyu looking at her with a wine glass in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

The appearance of the man is one in ten thousand, and even on such an occasion, he is not inferior to any noble son in the field.

Not to mention, he exudes an indifferent temperament that does not care about fame and fortune.

The ghost of Ning Zhi sent the gods to walk towards him.

As he got closer, Ning Zhi felt a faint ripple in his eyes, which had always been emotionless.

And this ripple instantly set off a storm in her heart.

Xi Lanyu shook the wine glass in one hand, and grabbed her waist with the other, he used a little force, and Ning Zhi was pressed by his side strongly.

He had drunk the wine, his breath was burning, almost against Ning Zhi's neck, and he chuckled lowly, his voice soaked in wine was hoarse and bewitching.

"Zhizhi, did I tell you?"

"You're really beautiful today."

Chapter 38

The tip of Ning Zhi's nose smelled a stream of wine mixed with the crispness of cedar, and she unconsciously saw a dark moon hanging in the sky through the window.

Lonely and cold, yet bright and compassionate.

It's like a ridiculous reputation.

The two of them were in the corner of the banquet hall, and the sound of music was dimly heard under the heavy curtains.

Xi Lanyu's body almost completely covered her, and Ning Zhi tilted her head slightly, seeing the almost lingering posture in the glass window.

His voice was low and hoarse, and the hand that was clasped around her waist rubbed it lightly.
