Xi Mu Cheng frowned as he looked at her innocent appearance, "Didn't you already exchange a lot?" He hadn't forgotten the way she walked around with her glass, and the way the men looked at her.

"There are a few more …"

"Why do you want to exchange business cards?" The extraordinarily handsome man pursed his lips, his black eyes flashing with light.

"Looking for investments." His hands were covered in sweat. Only by clenching his fists did Xia Xiaowang have the confidence to speak up. However, when he spoke, he did not dare to meet Chen Xiaolian's eyes.

Xi Mu Cheng gritted his teeth, "Do any of those people really want to talk about investing with you?" It was just a simple sentence, but the intense coldness within caused Xia Xiaoling's entire body to go cold. Take Director Liu's middle-aged man for example, he was famous for being a pervert. If he hadn't gone to save her earlier, he would have already called her out.

Actually, she also knew that it would be hard to find an investment in someone like the Xia family, but she wasn't willing to give up on that opportunity. "We still have to set up a trap. There's no harm in knowing a few more people."

Xi Mu Cheng's eyes turned cold, "So your strategy is to spread the word?" His hands, which hung at his sides, clenched involuntarily, and even the muscles on the side of his face tightened in an instant.

Xia Xiaoling nodded.

"It's common to get into trouble, but you can't get to the point," Xi Mucheng held her arm, hinting. "You might as well focus on nurturing her."

"What do you mean?" Xia Xiaoling did not understand what he meant.

Hearing that, his lips curled up in a devilish smile. Seeing that she didn't understand, Xi Mucheng pointed at him.

"You?" She was surprised. She didn't know why, but she felt pain on her face when she heard this. It was as if he had hit her in the face with money again.

Being looked down upon by her made him feel extremely frustrated and depressed. He directly said, "Don't you know how to let go of a big fish?"

Her eyes that were filled with tears were like black jade soaking in the lake as she stared at his face. "Big fish?"

At that moment, he couldn't even look straight at her.

Seeing that she still hadn't recovered her wits yet, he was quite angry. He turned his face away, but there was a lot of impatience in his tone. He could not help but curse, "Idiot!" These words were extremely sour and ear-piercing.

Xia Xiaoxiao did not speak. How could she not know that he was a "big fish"? But she owed him too much. She was the chairman of the Xia family, not a flower in a greenhouse. She had to take responsibility for herself.

Moreover, even though it was just a contract, she slowly started to care about her position in his heart. She didn't want him to think that she was with him because she wanted to find him to invest in her, and she didn't want others to think that she was selling herself out. She was afraid that if that happened, he would look down on her and others would look down on her.

In terms of the balance of marriage, what she wanted was the equality of the two, not the gift of resources, and not his investment for her.

From her point of view, the previous kiss had been one of her taking the initiative to express her feelings. However, if he really invested because of her, then she would cowardly shrink back. She would have regretted kissing him.

She did not want money to make her look humble in a marriage.

One day, she thought, she would be able to stand beside him in broad daylight. When someone said, "He's fine," she could also proudly say, "I'm not bad."

His heart slightly tightened, and Xia Xiaowang quietly took a step back, pulling away from him. "I …" "He went in first."

The BOSS's face darkened and its eyebrows furrowed. Her breathing quickened as he approached, and she quickly turned her face away in panic. However, he took the opportunity to put his thin lips next to her ear and whispered, "It's always been shallow, so what's wrong with deep love?"

In his eyes, her stupefaction was like a provocation. The corner of that man's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly asked in an ambiguous manner, "Do you want to stay here, or go home with me? You choose."

"I'll go to the bathroom first." It was unknown if it was because he drank a little too much just now, but Xia Xiaoling felt her stomach burning up. Before she could answer Big Boss' question, she slipped away and ran to the washroom.

"What?" Xi Mu Cheng, who was thrown into the corridor, was completely stunned.

When he reached the bathroom, he was washing his hands when he heard the strange sounds of a man and a woman coming from the toilet.

When she understood what the voice was, her face turned red.

The woman's voice was so familiar … Looks like … Lin Shan.

Xia Xiaoling didn't dare to stay any longer, she immediately walked out of the washroom. However, before she reached the banquet hall, she was dismayed to discover that her phone was missing. It seemed to have been left in the sink.

She could only turn back dejectedly, but before she reached the door of the washroom, she saw the middle-aged man known as Boss Liu walk out from the ladies' room. Luckily, he didn't notice Xia Xiaoxiao as he was wearing his glasses.

Then, inevitably, Xia Xiaowang met Lin Shan, who was standing in front of the mirror fixing up her makeup. Then, Xia Xiaoxiao unavoidably met Lin Shan, who was standing in front of the mirror fixing up her makeup.

Xia Xiaoshan's phone was indeed on the sink. When she took it out, Lin Shan smiled with her charming eyes, "Miss Xia, don't you understand why you haven't been able to make any investments?"

Knowing that she did not have any good intentions, Xia Xiaoling was unwilling to pay any attention to her. She turned around and was about to leave.

"As a woman, it's best to let go of a bit of her. For someone like you, no matter how beautiful you are, it's useless if you don't know some tricks!" Lin Shan proudly said, "Look at me, as long as I hook my finger, there will be people scrambling to climb onto my bed, voluntarily stuffing money into my bag. Whatever I want, I'll give it to them."

Xia Xiaoxiao wrinkled her brows. Disregarding her actions, she left in large strides.

Lin Shan didn't plan on letting her go, she grabbed her arm and mocked, "Yiping say, you've been engaged for two years, but he's never touched you. "Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Xia, you've grown a good pair of leather bags for nothing. Do you want me to teach you a few moves for free?"

Xia Xiaoling coldly pushed her hand away and said, "Keep your moves for yourself!"

"Miss Xia, don't look down on my moves. Young Master Fang, you like me just because you like following my bed. You can't leave me alone," Lin Shan said as she raised her eyebrows behind her.

The Fang family is a wealthy family after all, and they have very high requirements for their daughter-in-law. Having a decent life is one of the basic requirements," she said, her tone slightly upbeat. "If you want to be a Young Mistress of the Fang family, I advise you not to spend too much money on clothes in the future." She walked a few steps before turning her head back. "Also, what happened in the washroom just now, it's best to go home and close the door before doing it. After all, walls have ears, so it's not worth it to be recorded and posted online." She asked the question with a smile and gave her answer with a smile.
