Banquet hall on the second floor of the Imperial Capital Hotel.

The walls are hung with gorgeous silks, dotted with exquisite gold thread decorations, like a dazzling painting.

The luxurious crystal chandelier hangs high on the ceiling, and the bright light shines through the crystal, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky. The carvings on the ceiling are meticulously crafted, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the night view of the city.

The entire banquet hall was filled with a luxurious and romantic atmosphere, which made Xiao Tongyu feel a little dazzled.

She stood beside Ji Yunze, smiling and nodding to everyone who came to greet her.

The corners of his mouth, which had been raised all the time, were about to twitch.

"Mr. Ji, who is this?" After greeting Ji Yunze, the man in front of him looked Xiao Tongyu up and down curiously.

"Hello, Mr. Li. I am Mr. Ji's secretary. My last name is Xiao."

"It's Mr. Ji's secretary Xiao," Mr. Li handed over the champagne, "Would you like a drink?"

Xiao Tongyu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard Ji Yunze's cold voice: "She doesn't drink."

"Let's go." He uttered the word quietly, motioning her to follow.

Xiao Tongyu bowed to Mr. Li embarrassedly to apologize and followed Ji Yunze's footsteps.

Luo Junzhi watched all this with great interest.

Ji Yunze, who never brought a female companion to various occasions, brought a woman for the first time, which caused quite a stir. But this woman looked pure and lustful, and had a unique temperament different from ordinary beauties, which made her even more attractive.

Luo Junzhi whispered to Xiao Tongyu: "How is it, Secretary Xiao, are you used to it?"

Xiao Tongyu forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Luo. I can still handle it for now."

In fact, she was already beginning to feel dizzy.

He hadn't slept well for several days, was busy at work during the day, and was under too much mental pressure after being targeted by Ji Yunze. His body was still aching, and Xiao Tongyu felt as if he was in turmoil.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Lin Xiao, who was silently holding a champagne glass, noticed Xiao Tongyu.

The Lin Group was also invited to today's dinner. However, the recent financial crisis of the Lin Group has become known to everyone, causing all major companies to avoid them, fearing that they would also be in trouble.

Lin Xiao stared at Xiao Tongyu intently.

She was wearing a pearly white strapless mini dress, the hem of which was about halfway to her thighs, revealing a pair of white, slender arms and sexy collarbones. Her breasts and slender waist were so attractive that people could not help but feel excited.

Lin Xiao felt a surge of regret in his heart.

Xiao Tongyu, when did she become so beautiful? What had blinded him in the past, that he turned a blind eye to the cute girl who had been chasing after him, and even hated her so much.

Is it because he hates the feeling of being bound by a childhood marriage?

Lin Xiao wanted to talk to her, but Xiao Tongyu was with Ji Yunze, so he didn't dare to go forward rashly.

At this time, Xiao Tongyu felt that she could hardly stand, and her heels were aching from the rubbing of her high heels.

She whispered to Ji Yunze: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I'm going to the bathroom."

Ji Yunze nodded calmly, and she hurried to the bathroom.

After pushing the door open, Xiao Tongyu quickly took off her high heels and found that her heels were rubbed and bleeding.

Xiao Tongyu is quite tall, and she usually doesn't wear high heels except when she's at work. But she doesn't stand for so long in high heels at work, and now she has pain in her heels, lower body, and headache, and feels pain all over her body.

I don't know if Ji Yunze deliberately gave her this tube top dress, the red marks on her chest were particularly conspicuous on her fair skin. She could only use liquid foundation to cover it up for a long time before it was basically invisible.

Xiao Tongyu looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very tired and wanted to go back and take a nap.

The experiences of these years have made her an extremely optimistic person, otherwise she would have died long ago.

Well, just hold on a little longer and she can go home and sleep.

Thinking of this, she applied some more foundation on the red marks, put on her high heels with great pain, pushed the door open and walked out.

As soon as she stepped out of the women's restroom, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Xiao Tongyu looked up in horror and met Lin Xiao's bloodshot eyes.

"Lin Xiao? What are you doing? Let go!"

"Tongtong, let's talk." Lin Xiao held her wrist tightly without letting go.

Xiao Tongyu stared at him coldly: "We have nothing to talk about."

"Tongtong, haven't you always liked me? How can you just let it go?"

Xiao Tongyu found it both funny and pathetic. It turned out that he had been so humble when he desperately chased after Lin Xiao.

No wonder he dislikes her.

"Lin Xiao, wake up. You don't like me. You just hope that I can help your Lin family. But it's all in the past. I have already repaid your family for raising me. I have no obligation to help you anymore."

Lin Xiao grabbed her wrist and squeezed it tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to rub it into his palm.

"Tongtong, you don't have to help us. I have a way to make the company better. As long as you are with me, I like you!"

"Lin Xiao, have you forgotten how you treated me back then?"

"..."

"You said I was ugly and rustic, and you wanted to vomit when you saw me."

"..."

"Where were you when Qin Mengyan and a group of girls beat me, grabbed my hair, and threw my schoolbag?"

"..."

"When I was sick and asked you to buy medicine for me, what did you say?"

"..."

"You said I was dead, so be it."

Lin Xiao's eyes became moist because of these words, and his voice began to choke: "I'm sorry, Tongtong, it's all my fault, please give me another chance, I really like you..."

Xiao Tongyu pulled her wrist towards him with all her strength: "But I don't like you! Let go!"

During the tug of war, Xiao Tongyu's long black hair draped over her chest was thrown aside, revealing two conspicuous red marks behind her ears.

Lin Xiao paused for a moment. He stared at Xiao Tongyu's neck and couldn't move his eyes away.

He almost choked up as he asked, "Tongtong, do you have a man?"

Xiao Tongyu was startled and quickly put her hair back to her chest.

Damn, when I was using foundation to cover it up, I didn’t notice such a tricky place behind my ear.

Is Ji Yunze born in the Year of the Dog? Why does he chew on whatever he gets?!

"Lin Xiao, this is none of your business, let me go!"

Lin Xiao let out an angry roar: "Xiao Tongyu! You like me! How can you look for a messy man?!"

"Lin Xiao, no one will always like you! When you don't treat me as a human being, I let you go!"

Xiao Tongyu felt his wrist begin to ache, "Let me go!"

Just then, a familiar and cold voice sounded from the side.

"Secretary Xiao."
