She stood beside Lin Shan Shan, just like the two in the mirror earlier. Although they were both beautiful, the victor was very clear at this moment, because Xia Xiaoxiao was the main character on stage. She smiled brightly and said a few words of thanks in a straightforward manner before clapping.
At the main table, the leaders of the municipal government and the top five enterprises in City Z had already taken their seats. There was only one seat left. She calmly walked over.
She didn't expect Xi Mu City to be sitting right next to the empty seat, there was no escape, she could only grit her teeth and walk towards him.
Surprisingly, just as she reached the main table, Xi Mu Cheng stood up. He pulled out the chair she was about to sit on, and his gentle expression puzzled her.
There was a moment of hesitation, and she even felt him whisper in her ear, "You're the sun I can't hide from." Under the gaze of the crowd, she gently smiled and politely said, "Thank you."
"She must have heard wrong. How could that be? Why would he say such words?" She quietly sat on the chair, not a single ripple on her calm face.
The most painful thing in the world is not life or death, but a journey of life that is short but filled with eternal loneliness; the most painful thing in the world is not the eternal loneliness, but the obvious sight of warmth and life and yet I am powerless to do it; the most painful thing in the world is not being unable to do it, but when everything is within my reach and I do not want to reach out.
She did not know how many brain cells she had burned to death in just a few short hours. She could not tell if her heart was filled with sadness or joy.
Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at the side profile of Xi Mu City. She remained expressionless as she sat in his seat.
Her eyes were misty, and the corners of her lips were curled up uncomfortably. Her eyes were dim, and she raised her cup patiently. "CEO Xi, let me toast you."
"Alright, if there's a chance, let's work together." Xi Mu Cheng turned his head to look at her, his dark eyes deep and profound. Under the light, her thick makeup, with peach blossoms on her face and red lips and white teeth, made her appear extremely enchanting and enchanting. Her long neck and beautiful collarbone made his throat tighten, and he calmed down.
Seeing the weird actions of the two, the surrounding people started to discuss.
"What is the relationship between these two people? Aren't they here together?"
"Yeah, yeah. I thought they were together, but that's not the case." To think that I was trying to curry favor with Xia Xiaoling just now. "
"Like I said, why does Xi Mu City like her?"
For a time, a small portion of the crowd began to seethe with excitement.
Lin Shan was doing her best to show off and adjust the atmosphere. However, within the banquet hall, many people were still discussing the previous scene in whispers. Because Xia Xiaowang was too beautiful and dazzling tonight, she had also won the Best Lady Award.
Xia Xiaoxiao did not pay attention to these rumors and simply ignored them. After experiencing so many unforeseen events, she was no longer in the mood to consider these gossip.
An interlude passed just like that.
Since it was a banquet, it was inevitable that they would drink each other to their hearts' content.
Xia Xiaoxiao did not forget the purpose of her visit, and that was to have her own world. She had to improve her own abilities and contacts as quickly as possible in order for the Xia Corporation to develop more quickly under her leadership.
She had always been a very pretty girl. She had always had a smile on her face when she spoke, and as she moved forward and backward, she spoke with dignity, but not lightly. All of the people present had a good impression of her, and when they spoke to her, they could not help but feel a lot more amiable.
However, in Xi Mu Cheng's eyes, her actions seemed to attract attention from the very beginning. She became more and more unhappy as her face became colder to the point that water could be squeezed out of her mouth.
On the balcony, she was so enthralled by his kiss, but in the blink of an eye she was silent again in the face of his question. Wasn't it because she wanted to throw herself at more men?
What did she take him for? A spare tire that was just about ready to go?
Xia Xiaoling, don't even think about it!
"Come, Miss Xia, let me toast you." He helped Xia Xiaowang pour the wine, raised the wine cup, and handed it over to her.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, but before she could receive it, he deliberately let go. The wine cup instantly fell on his leg, the wine wetting his pants.
"Miss Xia, why can't you even hold the cup?" he asked unhappily.
Uh! Xia Xiaoling was covered in black lines. He was clearly the one who had loosened his grip! However, under the gazes of everyone present, she endured it.
"I'm sorry!" She used a tissue to wipe his face, but unexpectedly, she accidentally touched his private parts. The warmth of her touch made her face turn hot, and she quickly retracted her hand.
He definitely did it on purpose!
The big BOSS innocently raised its eyebrows, "Miss Xia, you didn't mean to be unable to receive the wine cup right?" He calmly said to the crowd, "Fortunately, this is white wine. If the red wine were to sprinkle on this spot, my reputation would be ruined!" He pretended to touch her forehead helplessly.
As the sound of Xi Mu Cheng's voice faded, it created an atmosphere of Xia Xiaoxiao trying to take advantage of him. His words caused Xia Xiaoxiao to blush and the atmosphere at the table to lighten up.
He quickly shifted his gaze and chatted with the leader sitting opposite him. While Xia Xiaoling was feeling depressed, she felt a hand on her leg. She felt as if she was electrocuted as her whole body tensed up. She did not expect him to be so bold in such an occasion.
Her legs moved slightly, but he had no intention of taking them away. She was frightened, even though she was wearing a long dress, but she was afraid that he would do something more outrageous, so she reached out to take his hand away, only to be caught by the reverse hand. She struggled a little, but he held her tighter.
The temperature of the man's palm caused her to feel hot all over. At any moment, someone would come to the main table to toast her, just in case … She nervously looked at him, only to discover that he was calmly drinking with someone else.
A wolf in sheep's clothing!
There were so many people around, and she couldn't simply flip the table.
What should he do?
"Miss Xia, are you not feeling well?" Director Liu, who was sitting to her left, noticed her strangeness and asked in concern.
"I'm fine." She could only helplessly hide her emotions.
She smiled at him. But then, the hand that held her was like a punishment as it quietly stroked her palm, again and again, itchy and numb.
Her mind was in a mess as she looked at the mastermind. The big BOSS was talking to someone and its expression was normal.
She tried to struggle again, but what she got in return was actually him clenching his fingers tightly.
This made it even harder for her to break free.
While Xia Xiaoling was fuming and feeling anxious and at a loss for what to do, Lin Shan suddenly turned around and walked over. Her low-cut dress suddenly glowed in spring, and a wave of energy surged out. She finished honoring the main table one by one, and finally, with a twist of her waist, squeezed into the space between Xia Xiaolan and Xi Mu City's seats.
Just when Xia Xiaoling thought he would let go, unexpectedly, under the cover of the tablecloth, his grip tightened.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
