Kiss!

At the end of January, Qin Rao's play finally wrapped up, just in time for the end of the previous week, just in time to rest.

The plane landed in Dongcheng, and Shen Xun came to pick it up.

He did this to save Du Jing and Youzi trouble, so they left after they were handed over to him.

Qin Rao got in the car, Shen Xun held her face and looked at it, "It seems to be a little fatter."

As a result, she glared at her, "It's because the clothes are too thick."

"Just kidding, I'm not fat." Shen Xun rubbed her head, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, and said, "Accompany me to dinner tonight?"

It was only then that Qin Rao realized that he was wearing a formal suit today, and the style of the suit was more formal than any she had seen before.

"Is it an important occasion?" She panicked a little.

"No, it's just an ordinary banquet."

Qin Rao felt that she was cheated by him, and she knew something was wrong when he took her to try on clothes.

How can an ordinary banquet need to be dressed so formally?

When we arrived at the scene, sure enough, it was a business dinner that happened to be held in Dongcheng this year, and all the people present were celebrities from the business world.

They came late, and there were already groups of threes and twos in the banquet hall talking with red wine or champagne.

The two were so eye-catching, they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the venue, and then acquaintances came up to say hello.

"Mr. Shen, long time no see." The visitor looked at Qin Rao beside him, and nodded to her.

It was the first time for Shen Xun to bring a woman to such an occasion, so it inevitably made people look twice.

She could occasionally notice the gazes from around her. As an artist, she should be used to all kinds of gazes, but today's gazes made her very uncomfortable.

Commercial marriages are not uncommon, so most of the female companions present are from famous families. They looked at her as if they were watching a pheasant mixed in among the phoenixes.

Qin Rao was in a daze when Shen Xun suddenly patted her hand, "Come with me to meet someone."

She nodded, "OK."

Qin Rao really saw what kind of existence Shen Xun was in the circle, and at a distance of only ten meters away, he met no less than five groups of people.

They all come to say hello.

Qin Rao joked with him, "I finally know what it means to be surrounded by stars."

Shen Xun lowered his head slightly, "That's because they don't know that I have to rub your feet in private."

Qin Rao pinched the inside of his arm with the hand hooked around the crook of his arm, "I'll pinch your arm for you to even it out."

Shen Xun bent the corner of his lower lip very lightly, and pulled her to stand still.

Qin Rao didn't notice that the two stopped and were still talking to him, and when she turned her head, she saw the woman next to her.

She had seen this woman before. She had dinner with Xie Pingsheng and met her in the elevator.

Shen Xun introduced: "My girlfriend, Qin Rao, Yi Yi, this is President Lin."

Qin Rao looked at him from the side, his eyes were frank, and he looked at Lin Wancheng very lightly.

When I looked at her again, I felt a little softer.

Qin Rao's heart became hot, and she seemed to guess the purpose of him bringing her here.

It was obvious that Lin Wancheng was his mother's favorite, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Lin Wancheng was her daughter-in-law candidate.

He used this method to show his position in front of her, and by the way, drew a line with Lin Wancheng.

"Hello, Miss Qin."

Lin Wancheng held the cup and touched her lightly, the sound of the cups colliding brought her back from her thoughts.

Qin Rao regained consciousness and smiled back, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Wancheng said: "You are too polite, just call me Wancheng."

Qin Rao never liked such formulaic greetings, so she pursed her lips and smiled.

Lin Wancheng: "There are a few friends over there who need to meet, let's go first."

From the beginning to the end, except for the introduction, Shen Xun never spoke.

When Lin Wancheng walked away, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm here to show my loyalty to my girlfriend."

"Praise me quickly is written on your face." Qin Rao deliberately turned her head away from him, but her heart had softened into a puddle of water.

Shen Xun smiled, "So obvious?"

"Well, very." Qin Rao said affirmatively, then put the wine glass into his hand, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Coming out of the cubicle, she looked in the mirror after washing her hands.

The heating in the banquet hall was too high, and her whole cheeks were so stuffy that they blushed from lack of oxygen.

The banquet hall is on the first floor. Occasionally people come and go in the corridor, and some people smoke there leaning against the window.

Qin Rao found a corner and stood there. After blowing the cold wind for a while, she woke up and felt goosebumps on her arms, so she turned around and prepared to go back.

As soon as the footsteps took a step, they stopped.

Xie Pingsheng didn't know when he came here, at least he hadn't seen him inside before.

He looked at her for two seconds, then withdrew his hand from his pocket and began to unbutton his suit jacket.

Realizing what he was going to do, Qin Rao hurriedly said, "No, I'm not cold."

Xie Pingsheng paused, but continued to untie it, took off his coat and hung it on his arm.

Wen Sheng asked: "I heard that you were filming in other places, when did you come back?"

"This afternoon." Qin Rao curled her lower lip, "Then I'll go in first."

She took a step and passed him by.

"Wait." Someone grabbed her wrist suddenly, but let go before she could struggle.

"How do you plan to spend the New Year this year? Or go back to accompany your grandfather?"

In a word, it brought back many memories for her in an instant.

Since she went to university, she never went back to Pei's house during the holidays, and she also went back to her grandfather's place during the Chinese New Year. He sent her off for three years during the peak return trip years ago.

Qin Rao nodded, "Yes, I have to go back."

"Do you want me..."

She interrupted hastily, "I'll drive back by myself."

Xie Pingsheng was stunned for a moment. At that time, she didn't have a driver's license and could not drive. She seemed to suddenly realize that everything was really different from before.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Did my mother go to see you back then?"

After a while, she said, "It's all over."

Xie Pingsheng's eyes suddenly became hot.

No wonder, no wonder he was so unfamiliar with him now, he thought she was just angry with him, but he didn't expect his mother to block the way for him long ago.

At the other end of the corridor, Shen Xun stood there watching. After a while, he turned and returned to the banquet hall.
