It started with being betrayed by my ex-boyfriend

His throat felt dry and he quickly turned his face away, slightly bending his arms towards Bai Yunxi.

Bai Yunxi hesitated for a moment before obediently putting her hand into his arms and following him slowly downstairs and out the door.

Li Ling was very conscious of driving at a speed of about 50 miles per hour. If he drove too fast and scared the young lady, the president would immediately tell him to get out!

Outside the venue of the cocktail party, there were many luxury cars parked that Bai Yunxi had never seen in her life. However, her taste seemed to have been spoiled by Ji Hanmo. Cars below three million were not even in her eyes. As for the others... they were not as good as Ji Hanmo's car anyway!

She didn't like these cars, but as soon as she entered the venue, she was totally shocked!

What a big place! So many people!

The vast space, which seemed to have no end at first glance, looked even more magnificent because of the luxurious decoration. The glass lamps above made the area below as bright as day. Under the lamps, people were bustling around, and the atmosphere was warm yet elegant.

Just because of Ji Hanmo's arrival, the originally lively cocktail party suddenly became quiet.

Everyone stared at him and Bai Yunxi as if they had seen a ghost!

When did Ji Hanmo bring a female companion to a cocktail party? I've never heard of it, okay? And... the woman looked timid, but Ji Hanmo walked slowly and attentively, taking good care of her.

This is simply like seeing a ghost in broad daylight! Who has ever seen Ji Hanmo being nice to a woman? Even if it was a beautiful woman, he would just ignore her, okay?

Many of the women who came to this cocktail party had hit a snag with him before. They looked for all kinds of opportunities to chat with him or meet him by chance or accidentally bump into him, but he ignored them all!

The woman next to him looks just so-so, how come she caught his eye and was treated so well by him?

Before Bai Yunxi entered the venue, she had already felt the hostility coming from the opposite side. She subconsciously shrank behind Ji Hanmo and held his arm even tighter!

Feeling her nervousness and dependence, Ji Hanmo couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and a hint of mischief flashed across his eyes.

If I had known this would happen, I should have taken her out to the party earlier. Well, it would be nice to take her out to more occasions in the future!

Su You came forward and glanced at Bai Yunxi seriously: "Is this the special female assistant that Yun Lu mentioned?"

There is probably no other woman in the world who can be treated so well by Ji Hanmo!

Ji Hanmo's eyes narrowed dangerously: "What did she say to you?"

Humph, you dare to talk behind his back. I should have pressed a few more points earlier!

Su You clicked his tongue, it’s only been a short time and he’s already protecting his people like this?

"What else can I say? I'll just say you're very nice and take good care of people, okay?"

That's pretty much it!

"Who are the people here today?" Ji Hanmo took a glass of juice from the tray in the waiter's hand and handed it to Bai Yunxi, asking casually.

"You know these small fry just like to make themselves known in this kind of occasion." Su You said, "But I heard that an important person will be here today."

"Who?"

"The young master of the Jiangnan Tao family, Tao Jingchen!"

heard about it.

Tao Jingchen is also a business genius. His father and several generations before him were people in the military and political system. When it came to him, he refused to join the army and instead entered the business world. Within a few years, he was very successful and established a great reputation, which slightly overshadowed his father's reputation.

However, his influence in the country has always been in the Jiangnan area. Why did he think of developing it in the coastal areas?

Seeing him frowning in deep thought, Su You couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune and asked, "Why? Are you scared of your opponent?"

Ji Hanmo sneered: "It's been a long time since I met a competent opponent. If there is a chance, I would like to meet him!"

"I guess since he's in City A, he'll definitely pay his respects to you." Su You looked eager to watch the fun, but Ji Hanmo rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "Itchy skin!"

Now that I'm here, the necessary social engagements are inevitable, but... Ji Hanmo glanced at Bai Yunxi, who was at a loss as he held the juice cup, and his heart suddenly softened.

He took Bai Yunxi's hand and walked to a corner where there were many kinds of food and it was not very noticeable: "Eat something here, I'll be back soon."

Bai Yunxi moved his mouth and said hesitantly: "Oh, then you... come back soon."

Ji Hanmo's heart felt itchy. The words "come back" coming out of her mouth sounded very charming to him.

Watching him walk away, Bai Yunxi shouted "Wow" happily.

There were so many delicious things! All the tables were filled with all kinds of food, and the waiters kept shuttling among the crowd, holding all kinds of drinks and food in their hands.

Bai Yunxi had never seen so many delicious foods in her life! The greedy thing in her stomach was instantly aroused! The most important thing was that she had a strong appetite when she saw these foods, and she didn't feel nauseous at all!

Besides, people's attention was now attracted by Ji Hanmo, who had a kingly temperament, and no one noticed her, so she just ate and drank without any hesitation!

She was only concerned with enjoying her meal and didn't care about what was happening around her. She didn't know any of these people anyway.

So when a handsome man came in through the door and caused a sensation, she just raised her head for a moment because of the sudden noise, then lowered her head and continued eating!

So when her stomach finally couldn't hold anything else and she had to give up eating, she found herself, well, too full to move!

She looked at the many delicious foods in front of her with regret, and then looked at the crowded banquet center. She didn't know where Ji Hanmo had gone and might not come back for a while, so she decided to find a place to digest secretly!

Fortunately, there was a corridor not far from where she was that led to the garden outside, so she slowly walked into the garden, holding on to the wall.

Compared to the bustle of the banquet, the garden was unusually quiet. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants rustled in the breeze.

She took a casual look and it seemed that these flowers in her small garden... all of them!

Bai Yunxi suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. Ji Hanmo was really good to her. Although he told her so clearly that he was good to her only for the baby in her belly, he was really sincere!

Who cares what it is for!

"Qianqian?!" A surprised voice suddenly came from her ear. A young, beautiful and charming girl, as if under some kind of magic, was staring at her in disbelief.
