At night, there are business receptions where celebrities from all walks of life gather.

Receptions and dinners that can deliver invitations to Chi Yuan are generally not at an international level and he usually does not attend. Although the scale of the reception this time is not low, it is enough for Chi Nian and Chi Ai's two well-known daughters to appear .

Nowadays, there seem to be very few things that can interest her again, so Chi Nian is not very interested in participating in this kind of reception. If Chi Yuan hadn't asked her to come by name, she would definitely not waste her time on on these things.

Most of the receptionists were familiar faces they had seen over the years. After the socializing and entertainment, Chi Ai who came with her had long since disappeared.

Looking back, she realized that Chi Ai was chatting and laughing with people on the other side. She looked cute and cute, and she was very good at acting like a baby, making the old man opposite her laugh.

That old man, Chi Nian, also knew him. He was a company boss who had business dealings with the company, and he had a very good relationship with Chi Yuan.

Seeing that Chi Ai was so intimate with that person, Chi Nian was not surprised, turned around without feeling anything, put the wine glass in his hand on the tray of the passing waiter, and sat down on a sofa near the corner.

Even bored, she took out her phone from her clutch, unlocked it and sent Lu Qi a text message, "What is Xixi doing?"

Lu Qi quickly replied, "Play a game."

"?"

Not long after Lu Qi, a short video came.

Chi Nian clicked on the video, and what he saw was that in the video, Xixi was sitting on A Zhe's shoulder, and A Zhe led her around in the spacious living room.

The child's clear laughter like a silver bell, and the voice of Ah Zhe teasing her came very clearly, and the atmosphere was joyful and joyful.

Chi Nian slightly hooked his lips and edited the message, "If Ah Zhe knew that you took this picture for me to see, wouldn't he want to dig three feet into the ground and find a hole to bury himself in?"

"Perhaps... possible?"

Chi Nian curled her lips unconsciously, knowing that Xixi was having fun, she wanted to put the phone back.

But soon, a phone call from Lu Qi came.

In the reception, the music was blaring, and the surroundings were the sound of chatting with each other.

She got up with her mobile phone, walked through the corridor leading to the back, came to the relatively secluded back garden, and stood by the small fountain pool before answering the phone.

"what happened?"

Lu Qi on the phone asked, "When will the reception end?"

Chi Nian estimated, "It will probably take another hour."

"It's nine o'clock now." Lu Qi paused and said, "It's a bit late, you can't drive after drinking, and the place of the reception you went to is a bit remote, I'll go pick you up."

Chi Nian actually has a driver, but when she travels nowadays, she doesn't like the driver to drive her in most cases, especially after drinking.

You can call a surrogate driver, but the surrogate driver is even more uneasy.

Since Lu Qi came to pick him up with good intentions, and it's not the first time that this kind of thing happened frequently, she thought about it, and accepted his favor, "Okay, it's almost over when you get to my side."

Lu Qi responded.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Nian put the phone back in his bag.

There was no one in the back garden, it was quiet and quiet, the beautiful lights reflected the flowers and fountains in this area like a remote and quiet painting, and the sound of insects in midsummer could be heard.

Such leisurely tranquility is like two completely different worlds from the gorgeous and lively reception not far away. Compared with the extravagant prosperity, she likes the tranquility in front of her at this moment.

Comfortable, I can't help but feel that the quietness of no one is actually a kind of enjoyment at this moment, as if the soul imprisoned in a cage has been temporarily liberated.

However, no matter how good the picture is, one must not be greedy.

Chi Nian stood there for a while, took a deep breath, and didn't let himself stay outside for too long.

After she opened her eyes, she was about to return to the reception.

However, when she turned around, a dark figure broke into her sight unexpectedly. She was unprepared and had an instinctive reflex to deal with danger. She didn't even see the facial features of the man standing in front of her against the light, so she subconsciously Staggered back a few steps.

Because he stepped back too fast, his high-heeled feet stepped on the cobbled ground, and his heel sprained without warning. Chi Nian let out a low cry of pain, and then fell to the ground without any accident.

pain.

While sitting on the ground, there was an incomparably clear pain in the palm of the hand that instinctively supported his arms and pressed it on the cobblestone, and the sprained foot was even more painful.

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes adapted to the light two seconds later, and she saw clearly the man standing in front of her like a mountain that felt extremely oppressive.

Chi Nian was suddenly annoyed and threw the bag in his hand at him, and blurted out a foul word, "Sheng Siyan, are you fucking sick!"

Standing silently behind her without making any noticeable movement, is he a ghost?
She thought some dangerous person was trying to sneak up on her from behind, but it turned out to be him.

Although he is no different from a dangerous person.

Sheng Siyan accurately tilted his head to avoid the bag she threw over him, and his complexion with a pair of elegant glasses on the bridge of his nose was not good-looking, even so gloomy that it could drip water.

A word flowed coldly from his lips, full of horror, "Say."

Chi Nian felt that he was simply inexplicable, and couldn't suppress his anger, "What did you say?!"

His handsome face was gloomy like a ghost, "You know."

She knows?
Chi Nian looked him up and down for a moment.

He was dressed neatly and elegantly, but he couldn't hide the dust and dust all over his body, and there was even a look of weariness between his handsome eyebrows and eyes.

And the somewhat indescribable sense of burnout made him look even more gloomy and terrifying, like a paranoid person who insists on getting something that he clearly can't get, and he is obviously physically and mentally exhausted But also paranoid and refused to let go.

Oh, all of a sudden, she really understood what he said inexplicably.

Pulling his lower lip in a funny way, Chi Nian's eyes were cold, and he said sarcastically, "Should I say that you are so affectionate that you can't help it, or are you lingering like a dog's skin plaster?"

Sheng Siyan ignored her accusations, and said word by word as cold as frost, "Gu Shizheng, where are you?"

"You have asked me this question many times over the past few years."

Regardless of the extreme pain from his hands and feet, Chi Nian pressed his palms on the uneven cobblestone ground, and slowly stood up with his arms supporting his strength.

After straightening the messy hair on her chest, she said in a nonchalant manner, almost indifferently, "I've answered you countless times, and it's still the same sentence—"
