It wasn't until this moment that Xu Xiaoli realized what a heavy responsibility she had been entrusted with.

After entering the venue, she only had time to meet her colleagues.Because Qin Nuoyan proposed to take her to meet the guests, Qi Sir of course wished for it, and the presence of the shining future sponsors ah!

However, she gradually discovered that besides herself, Qin Nuoyan had another function—a free female companion, and she was used as a shield to filter out many beauties for him.

As expected of a profiteer, he really knows how to make the best use of everything.

However, compared with Qin Nuoyan, who had experienced many battles, she really couldn't hold on anymore.The corners of her mouth that were consciously turned up were extremely stiff, and she was a little at a loss for those polite greetings and social expressions with hidden meanings. Even Qin Nuoyan also put on a sophisticated and smooth face, which was completely different from him in private.

It can be said that everyone here wears masks, but she gradually understands that this is the rule of the game.

Take Qin Nuoyan as an example, such entertainment is necessary.Taking good care of the interpersonal relationship will do no harm to the company.As the company's top decision-maker, every decision he makes is related to the livelihood of more than a thousand employees below, so how can he do whatever he wants?

If it was before, she would definitely feel that this is hypocritical, but now she knows that the world is not black and white, and there are too many gray areas, which cannot be simply and arbitrarily defined by right and wrong.

However, it is one thing to figure it out, the physical incompatibility really makes it impossible for her to continue to be the important task of free female companion.

Wearing stilettos, she was dragged by him to socialize all over the venue, her extremely uncomfortable feet had already protested seriously, she thought it would be better to find a place to take a break.

"So weak in combat?" She didn't care about being teased by someone, she was really powerless to fight back.

Qin Nuoyan helped her to a secluded corner, Xu Xiaoli immediately climbed onto a piece of driftwood like in a torrent, and hurried to the embrace of the soft sofa.That anxious look is really a smile.

"Mr. Qin, it's your turn to take the stage."

A gentleman in a well-fitting suit and gold-rimmed glasses came to Qin Nuoyan's side and reminded him in a low voice respectfully.

Qin Nuoyan looked down at Xu Xiaoli who was sitting on the sofa. "Alone, okay?"

She smiled and gestured "OK" to him, and then the two men turned and left, because Qin Nuoyan had to give a speech.

Finally had a chance to sit down and rest well, she could almost hear the comfortable jjj from her legs, and the discomfort gradually eased.Her feet were still bound by the high heels, and it wasn't as casual as at home in this kind of place, so she had to massage them for a massage.

The eyes of the guests in the venue gathered on the stage.

A deep and seductive voice sounded in the arena, with a numbing magnetism.Qin Nuoyan's speech was very official, but the women in the audience seemed to be mesmerized by it.

Xu Xiaoli lowered her head to massage her feet, but she didn't notice anyone walking towards her.

"Miss Xu, Hi! What a coincidence?"

A scent of perfume gradually enveloped her, she looked up, and it turned out to be Kingsley's aunt.She was present, but what was surprising was how could she come to say hello to herself?

"Hi." Out of politeness to her elders, she was embarrassed to sit still, so she stood up quickly.

"I heard that you were in charge of this banquet? It was pretty good."

"……thanks."

Xu Xiaoli listened to her quietly, because she knew very well in her heart that she might not have gotten to the point.But, it's weird, isn't it?Before, she asked her out to go shopping to make her quit, but now there should be no reason to find her.

"Ah, by the way, why do you seem to be very familiar with Mr. Qin? Are you a boyfriend and girlfriend? Could it be that you still want to lose Kingsley, so you deliberately climbed up to Mr. Qin? But then again, Qin Mister is one of the top diamond bachelors, no wonder you like it. In fact, I can understand the psychology of girls like you, who doesn't want to marry into a rich family?"

She stared at the scenery, did not speak, and was calm.

Suddenly, I felt that Kingsley's aunt is actually a very straightforward person, and it is very obvious when she doesn't like someone.At least it won't be the one behind the other.Or, is it because there is no need to entertain her, so you don't even have to pretend to be false?

Either way, it doesn't matter.Anyway, these are no longer within the scope of her concern.

"Why don't you talk? You shouldn't be unhappy? Oh, I'm a straight-talking person—"

"aunt!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice was particularly deep because of the deep displeasure, and resolutely interrupted Jingjing's words.

She followed the reputation, feeling a little surprised, Kingsley...how could he be here?With a face full of doubts, he stared blankly at him coming over and standing in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.

Kingsley looked directly at the scene with firm eyes, and said in a strong tone: "Auntie, don't you think it's too much to say such a thing? Why do you still target her until now?"

Xu Xiaoli couldn't help being stunned, turned her face sideways, and looked at Kingsley with a little surprise. Her elegant figure was still tall and slender, and her eyes were unprecedentedly solemn. This was the first time she saw his expression like this, and the first time she heard him use such an expression. speak in tone.

For a long time, in his mind, family members are zero picks, which are extremely important, aren't they?However, the man in front of him...

Jing snorted.

"I didn't mean to target her. Maybe I spoke too directly, which may give you the illusion."

"Why are you so duplicity? I heard what you just said, but—"

Seeing the escalation of the conflict, Xu Xiaoli had no time to think about it, and her hand was already caressing Kingsley's elbow.

Seeing him defending himself so excitedly, his heart felt full of warmth.However, she found that she didn't want to see him having disputes with his family because of this.

The light touch from the arm made Kingsley turn his face away. The beautiful face that came into view should be full of grievances, but at this moment, he pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head slightly at him.

She was telling him it was okay.

The pupils shrank slightly, and the expression on Kingsley's face looked more serious, but the dark eyes began to melt into warmth and gradually softened.

He admitted that there used to be some voices echoing in his mind, messing up his original attachments, but now he doesn't want to be that self-righteous fool anymore.

Jing Jing looked at the interaction between the two with cold eyes, feeling a little surprised in his heart.However, she decided to ignore the flash of inspiration.

"It seems that when you old friends meet, you must have a lot to say. I will excuse you first."

When turning around, out of the corner of Jing Jing's eyes, he caught a passing figure, his brows were furrowed, and he hurriedly followed away.As soon as she left, silence fell between the two of them, but only for a moment.

"Thank you."

The pity and guilt hidden in Kingsley's eyes, the dark and bright pupils are complicated and deep.He clearly knew from the beginning that she was a person who didn't like to care about others, but he increasingly preferred her to be narrow-minded and even selfish, so that when she was ridiculed and made things difficult, he would not have to bear it silently.

Whenever I see her being wronged, my heart feels like a pinprick.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my aunt. I'm really sorry."

Xu Xiaoli smiled lightly, and said calmly: "I really don't mind. Actually, I understand, they are doing this for your own good."

She didn't understand it before, but now she puts herself in the shoes and thinks about it, if she were Kingsley's family, she would be like them.It is because he cares about his family very much, and of course he hopes that he can get the best and not be treated badly.

What his aunt said was not entirely unreasonable.

In today's materialistic era, "money worship" comes into being.In fact, there are indeed many people who think this way.Then, as a family member, it is natural to hope that he can find a lifelong partner who is good enough to match and sincere.

Kingsley stared at her with complicated eyes.

It's easy to feel the change in her.

She is no longer just the hearty woman who dared to rush and break through with the word brave first, but now she is more calm and calm, with mature and intellectual speech, and the shallow smile on her lips is calm.

Tonight, she is very strange and very beautiful, but she is so beautiful that it makes people feel flustered.

What changed her?

Throughout the night, his eyes couldn't help chasing the two figures who were intimately accompanying her. Her frowns and smiles were calm and at ease. Only when she encountered something she didn't understand, her eyes were still for a moment, and the next second was very natural. He turned his face to look at the man beside him, seeking for clarification.

It seemed that the man had become the most trustworthy support in her mind.

Then, he would see the man slightly leaning over and whispering in her ear, a slight smile slowly blooming from her lips, and he could understand it with just a little eye contact.

Watching the interaction between the two quietly, his thoughts became clearer.

If he was using a low-power lens to quickly find objects before, now he can finally see more clearly because he has switched to a high-power lens.

"By the way, I just saw you. Is there something wrong with your shoes?" Before walking over, she watched her bend slightly and rubbed her feet.

"Ah? That's right, because it's new shoes, so I'm not very used to wearing them." She didn't expect him to notice such a small thing... Could it be that her weird behavior is obviously like this because of the pain in her feet?

"Do I walk strangely? Is it ugly? Is it obvious?" she asked worriedly.It must be obvious, otherwise why would Kingsley ask her about the shoes?

Looking at her nervous face, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

This familiar look...

How could she, who is elegant and confident tonight, be ugly?

"No, it's beautiful."

Uh, she walks beautifully?He's not a supermodel on the runway, why does he seem to answer the question in a way that doesn't mean it?

"Thank you, scold!" The coolness invaded her bare shoulders, and she couldn't help sneezing.

Seeing this, Kingsley took off his suit without hesitation, and gently draped it on her shoulders. She couldn't help being startled, and turned her head to decline, but accidentally bumped into a pair of dark pupils, which were as deep as the sea, shimmering, and quiet. But it floats gently and softly.

Knowing that she wanted to refuse, the beautiful lip line evoked a gentle shallow arc.

"Let's put it on, it will be troublesome if you catch a cold."

The voice is full of indelible concern, densely entangled in the ears, disturbing the calm lake of the heart, and ripples circle after circle, rippling out the bits and pieces of the past, the lost emotion is like a tired bird returning home nest.

A trace of sweetness oozes out of the originally sealed honey jar intentionally or unintentionally...is it an illusion?

Looking at those eyes that made people unable to extricate themselves from sinking into them, she was stunned.Why does he still care about her so much?

"Sometimes the air-conditioning in the hotel is very strong, so it would be better to bring an extra piece of clothing." Every word and every sentence exudes a faint fragrance of wine, which is as intoxicating as fragrance.

While speaking, he even closed the front of her clothes for her. His slightly cool fingertips caressed her sensitive skin unintentionally. The touch as light as a feather was like a touch of water, and an inexplicable electric current quickly flowed to her through his fingertips. Every part of the body is trembling.

"...I have." He replied in a whisper.

"What?" Because her voice was too low, she couldn't hear clearly for a moment, her eyes were fixed, and she asked softly.

She couldn't figure out what was going on, she could only stare blankly at the handsome face that was close at hand, and her stupidity was reflected in those bright black eyes.

Seeing her staring at him without speaking, her face mixed with confusion and surprise was really cute, and he couldn't help but smile.

"what happened?"

The elegant smell of cologne floated into her nostrils, she stared obsessively at the gentle face of a man in front of her who was almost dripping water, unable to move her eyes away for a long time, as if lying in a cloud, the clouds were like cotton wool, the soft and warm feeling took her Surrounded by groups.

I can't bear it, I just want to indulge in it like this.

Even if it's a dream...if it's a dream...
