Xia Xiaoling was a little confused by his casual question. She looked at him in a daze and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Since he had already said so, Xi Mu Cheng didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. He frowned as he glanced at Xia Xiaowang, "Is it that hard to answer?"

Xia Xiaoling came back to her senses and lowered her head, letting her hair fall down again. It covered up the emotions in her eyes and her heartbeat quickened. She didn't know how to reply, so she could only reply perfunctorily, "You …" "He's a good person."

Xi Mu Cheng's face darkened as he laughed bitterly, "Heh, are you giving me a good person card? You should know that that's not what I meant." The normally calm him began to grow restless.

Her silence gradually made him lose his patience. His thin, pursed lips trembled slightly as he lowered his head to look into her eyes with a burning gaze. "I'm asking, how do you feel about me, how men feel about women?"

Xia Xiaoxiao only stared straight into Xi Mu Cheng's eyes and did not speak.

No reaction, just like no feeling?

Xi Mu Cheng became even more determined. That look in his eyes was enough to kill someone. After a long time, he mocked, "It doesn't matter, since it's just a contract." With that, he left in big strides, his face frighteningly cold.

Xi Mu Cheng turned around with a decisive action. Xia Xiaoxiao's words were harsh to the eye, but her heart skipped a beat. She did not know what they felt, it was just a contract after all. Why should she care so much …?

Xia Xiaoling leaned against the wall weakly, as if all her muscles and bones had been pulled out of her body. Clenching her fists tightly and gritting her teeth tightly, she stared at the sky. However, she could still feel a warmth sliding down her face.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of footsteps, Xia Xiaoxiao instinctively hid behind the balcony's screen.

"Eh, Xiao Wen was clearly here just now, why is he gone?"

"Ping, stop thinking about that woman. He will only drag you down." The man who spoke was Fang Jianlin. He intentionally cast a glance at the screen.

Fang Yiping understood her father's intentions. There were some things she didn't necessarily have to say in front of her face. If she pretended to be careless, she might get a better result.

Fang Yiping cleared her throat, purposely raising her voice, "Dad, even if you had forced me to give up on Little Warm with your death, you know how much I love her, so no matter what, I won't listen to you anymore. Sorry." After saying that, she strode out of the balcony.

Xia Xiaoling was shocked. Fang Yiping, who had always listened to his father, actually went against Fang Jianlin's words for her. Also, he just said that his father forced him to do so with his death … Then... Xia Xiaoling was surprised that she had misunderstood Fang Yiping. She accidentally shook the screen and held it firmly, not allowing Fang Jianlin to discover her.

What she didn't know was that Fang Jianlin was looking at her meaningfully.

After Fang Jianlin left, Xia Xiaoling slowly walked out from behind the screen. In a short period of time, she had experienced something. She felt a little absent-minded as she walked towards the washroom.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Xia Xiaoling took out a pancake, made up her makeup, and applied fresh lipstick. She then used her hand to brush her curly hair and adjusted her corsage slightly, revealing a professional smile to herself in the mirror. The image in the mirror did not seem to be affected in the slightest, and she seemed to be brimming with energy and vigor like when she first arrived.

When she was about to leave, she unexpectedly ran into Lin Shan Shan. Her hair was tied up high, revealing her long beautiful neck. She wore a dark red low-cut evening dress with hollow lace on her back.

"Oh, isn't this Mistress Xi? Why is she here? Why does she look like she just cried?"

Lin Shan was truly full of fighting spirit as she pulled Xia Xiaowang to stand in front of the mirror. "I've heard everyone discussing Miss Xia's beauty, I want to see if you're more beautiful or me."

"Big Star Lin, I've rarely seen you come out recently. There aren't many announcements, no wonder you're so free." Xia Xiaoxiao smiled, not putting Lin Shan in her eyes. He turned around and left.

Lin Shan, who was standing behind him, stomped her feet in anger. "Xia Xiaolou, let's see how long you can keep this up for!"

Xia Xiaoling retrieved the wine cup from the waiter's hand and returned to the banquet hall with a professional smile on her face. Once again, she received everyone's attention.

"Hello, Miss Xia. I'm very interested in your company's beauty products." A middle-aged man with glasses walked over and chatted with her.

"Oh, really?" After exchanging business cards, Xia Xiaoling smiled.

"Miss Xia, when do you have time? Let's go out and have a chat." The middle-aged man extended an invitation.

For some reason, the moment Xia Xiaoling heard this invitation, she couldn't help but want to reject it.

"Great!" "If there's a chance, let's work together." For the sake of the corporation's development, she didn't reject it outright. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip. As she lifted her eyes, she saw Xi Mu Cheng walking towards her.

Just as she wanted to escape, the middle-aged man walked towards Xi Mu City, "CEO Xi, long time no see!"

"Director Liu, it's nice to meet you. Do you want to continue the business we discussed last time?" Xi Mu City said in a relaxed manner.

"Seat always has time, of course I'm willing. Let's go over there and chat." The middle-aged man was overjoyed as he pulled Xi Mu City away.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot.

Very soon, the banquet hall's entrance was bustling with noise and excitement. It turned out that the city government's chief had arrived at the banquet as well.

Soon, the party started. It turned out that Lin Shan was the guest invited to this party. She was showing off as much as she could on the stage.

Soon. The main event came, which was to announce the selection of the most elegant lady on the field. When Lin Shan saw the name on the card, her face turned ugly, but very soon her dignified smile returned. Congratulations to Miss Xia Xiaowang on becoming the most elegant lady in the studio. "

Everyone's eyes searched the crowd, and very quickly, Xia Xiaoxiao walked out of the crowd with a smile on her face. Her elegant and relaxed posture made everyone unknowingly open up a path for her.
