Deliberate favoritism, the cold-faced president surrenders obediently

There are already a lot of people in the banquet hall.

The guests gathered in groups, scattered in various corners of the banquet hall, talking about stock investments or personal matters.

Lin Qian doesn’t recognize anyone here at the moment.

But Lin Qian didn’t see Li Yanxiu.

Lin Qian originally wanted to hide in a corner and wait for the banquet to be almost over before leaving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I ran into Li Yanxiu.

He was standing at the door, holding his phone and seemed to be editing a message. At this time, Jiang Zining walked up to him and teased, "What important person is this? You have to send a message at this time."

"It's nothing important."

Jiang Zining clearly noticed that the contact person was Lin Qian, but he actually said it was not important.

It seems that Lin Qian is indeed not very important in his heart.

Li Yanxiu ignored him, sent the message, and planned to continue walking inside.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zining, who was behind him, suddenly sprained his ankle.

"Ouch."

Li Yanxiu turned around, helped her up like a gentleman, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zining looked in pain. "The heels are too high. Maybe I accidentally sprained my ankle just now. My ankle hurts a little."

"Then what should we do? I'll help you sit on the chair over there?" Li Yanxiu looked around and saw the chair in front of him.

Jiang Zining smiled and shyly took Li Yanxiu's arm, "Thank you, Brother Yanxiu."

Li Yanxiu frowned, but he didn't dare to lose his composure in front of so many people.

He had no choice but to let her hold his arm and walk to the chair next to him.

The women around her looked at her with envy.

Many people also praised that Li Yanxiu and Jiang Zining were such a perfect match.

Jiang Zining took Li Yanxiu's arm and greeted the people around them, while she also paid attention to the man's expression.

Li Yanxiu's expression was as cold as ever, without any extra emotion.

He did not refuse Jiang Zining's offer of hand, nor did he give her any excessive response.

He did not refute the views and opinions of outsiders.

All of this fell into Lin Qian's eyes.

The expression of Jiang Zining looking up at him with her head tilted to her side could not be erased from her mind.

All the beautiful things that happened in the past turned into nothing at this moment, and my heart died bit by bit.

Lin Qian's lips curled up slightly, and his expression darkened.

The next second, Lin Qian was pulled into the arms of a familiar figure, who covered her mouth.

Lin Qian was about to struggle, but found out it was Li Yanxiu.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes. Wasn't he with Jiang Zining just now?

The actions of the two people also attracted the inquiring eyes of many people nearby.

Li Yanxiu pulled Lin Qian into a room and then closed the door.

All the sounds and bustle were blocked out, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing in the room.

"Didn't you say you didn't care about this banquet? Why didn't you tell me and just came here by yourself?" Li Yanxiu asked, his voice clearly displeased.

Lin Qian smiled and said, "You didn't say you were going to attend with Jiang Zining. Did I disturb you?"

Li Yanxiu was choked and speechless for a moment.

He understood that Lin Qian must have seen what happened just now, which was why she reacted like that.

"I said there's nothing wrong between Jiang Zining and me. She just sprained her ankle and I helped her up. What about you? Why are you here?"

From the man's unhappy tone and oppressive voice, Lin Qian could sense that the man didn't seem to want her to come here.

Combined with the question he asked as soon as he came in, an absurd idea seemed to pop up in the woman's mind.

She did not answer his question, but walked in front of him, stared into his deep eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Li Yanxiu, are you jealous?"

"You don't think I came here just for Lu Jingchuan, do you?"

Li Yanxiu looked obviously uncomfortable, as if he had not expected the woman to ask such a question so bluntly.

He hugged Lin Qian in his arms and pulled her closer to him, staring at her with deep eyes, "Well, I am a very possessive person."

Lin Qian didn't seem to expect the man to answer so straightforwardly. It was just a guess, and she didn't believe that the man would really be jealous of her.

Lin Qian thought for a moment and looked into the man's eyes seriously. "I've said before that I have nothing to do with him anymore. I'm only here because your mother invited me to come."

"My mother? Have you met her?"

"Yes." Lin Qian answered truthfully.

Li Yanxiu suddenly frowned, his expression serious, "My mother came to see you? What did she say to you?"

Lin Qian seemed to sense Li Yanxiu's nervousness. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, the design department asked me to go to Mrs. Li to sign a contract. By the way, she said that Xiaofei really wanted me to attend his engagement party, so she sent me an invitation."

How could Li Yanxiu, such a smart man, believe such an obvious lie from a woman?

Or perhaps, he knew clearly that his mother would never let Lin Qian go so easily.

"Stay aside for a while, lest you cause any more trouble."

Lin Qian nodded. He understood what the man meant. Even if he had the ability to help her solve the problem, he didn't want anything to go wrong at his sister's wedding.

But Lin Qian didn’t understand why he said that?

Li Yanxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Jiang Zining was there at the time, right?"

Lin Qian looked up suddenly. How did he know everything?

"So you have to protect yourself, don't run around, and wait for me to go back to Dingshan Villa at night."

"Today is Xiaofei's engagement party. If she went to my mom to get some information, she must have thought of some way to embarrass you. If something really happens at the party today, my mom will definitely not let you go."

Lin Qian's expression became solemn, and she seemed not to have suspected Jiang Zining yet.

She thought Jiang Zining just happened to interview Mrs. Li, but she didn't expect that she was the main driving force behind this matter.

Lin Qian continued, "She shouldn't do anything rash in such a big scene."

"You'd better be careful."

At this time, elegant music sounded outside. It was the opening dance and the banquet was about to begin.

Li Yanxiu and Lin Qian had to return to the main banquet.

The banquet hall was already very lively at this time, and everyone gathered in the center of the stage.

Past photos of Lu Jingchuan and Li Yanfei were played on the big screen on the stage. The big screen was wrapped in gorgeous decorations and was shining beautifully under the lights.

This is probably the proposal scene that Lin Qian has always dreamed of.

Unfortunately, she is not the heroine.

Amid cheers, today's male and female protagonists came out.

Lu Jingchuan was wearing a white suit and holding his petite and lovely fiancée in his arms.

Lin Qian could only hide in the corner, far away, and watch the people on the stage.
