Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

After putting on the suit, Su Qian looked even more like a prince from a fairy tale. Tall and straight, with a cold and aloof aura like moonlight.

Lin Cong couldn't help but turn her head to look at Su Qian, but she didn't expect that Su Qian also turned his head. Lin Cong happened to meet Su Qian's gaze, and she quickly dodged away.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Cong's strange expression, Su Qian asked puzzledly.

"Boss Su, collar."

Lin Cong pointed at Su Qian's collar.

Just now she saw some wrinkles on the back of Su Qian's collar, but because it was at the back, Su Qian couldn't see it.

Su Qian fiddled with it with his hands, but the wrinkles were still there.

He cast a questioning look towards the woods.

Lin Cong shook his head and said, "Boss Su, it's still not done."

Su Qian turned around and said, "Please help me."

Lin Cong did not help immediately. She felt that only Xia Ruohan could do such a thing.

"Come on!" Su Qian urged again.

"Oh."

Lin Cong walked over. Just as she was about to touch the collar, Xia Ruohan's voice rang out.

"what's wrong?"

Hearing Xia Ruohan's voice, Lin Cong quickly put down her hand. She felt as if she had done something wrong and was very nervous. Would Hanhan misunderstand something?

"Ah? Mr. Su's collar..." Lin Cong replied hesitantly.

"Su Qian is always like this. It's okay. I'll take care of it."

Xia Ruohan's movements were so natural that outsiders couldn't tell anything.

After fixing the collar, Xia Ruohan stood next to Su Qian and said, "How is it? Honey, are you satisfied with this suit?"

At this time, the salesperson who had been watching the lively scene for a while also started to speak, "Ms. Xia, this dress suits President Su's temperament very well."

After hearing this, Xia Ruohan smiled brightly, "I think so too."

"Okay, that's it." Su Qian obviously didn't want to continue this drama.

"Okay, my husband has the final say."

Lin Cong stood aside, watching the intimacy between Xia Ruohan and Su Qian, feeling secretly sad.

Yes, she could only wish them the best, as she was an outsider after all.

"Congcong, try a few other ones."

"No, this set will do."

Xia Ruohan wanted to pay the bill together, but Lin Cong refused. She was very clear about some things.

Having known Xia Ruohan for so many years, Lin Cong has always done his best to return the favor. Lin Cong always believes that only when one has a clear conscience can one be at ease.

After buying clothes, Su Qian and Xia Ruohan went home first.

Xia Ruohan has a dedicated makeup artist, and she will definitely dress up carefully when attending such occasions.

After Lin Cong returned home, she put on some light makeup. She didn't want to attract attention. For her, saying goodbye and finding an excuse to leave early was the best plan.

Before leaving, Lin Cong received a call from Su Qian.

"I asked Master Xie to pick you up."

Su Qian thought that this was Lin Cong's first time attending such an occasion, and it was a banquet of the Bai family, so there should be some sense of ceremony.

He knew those people's faces too well. If they saw Lin Cong taking a taxi, they might not know how to look at Lin Cong.

Lin Cong had endured too many unkind looks during this period, and Su Qian didn't want Lin Cong to be embarrassed again.

"No need, Mr. Su, I'll just call a taxi."

"It should be here soon, wait a minute."

After saying that, Su Qian hung up the phone.

The Bai family's banquet was indeed extraordinary. After all, he was from the Xia family, and Su Qian should be afraid that he would lose face for the Xia family.

Thinking of this, Lin Cong felt like something was blocking his heart.

A few minutes later, the driver called.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, Manager Lin."

On the way, Master Xie glanced at the bushes through the rearview mirror.

"Manager Lin, this is the first time I've seen you dressed like this in all these years. You look really good."

Hearing Master Xie say this, Lin Cong felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you."

"When my daughter graduates from college, I'll buy her a skirt like this. She's sure to like it."

"Your daughter is so lucky to have such a good father like you."

When it comes to this topic, Master Xie starts to talk non-stop. He talks about his daughter's childhood, her excellence, her troubles...

Lin Cong was very envious after hearing this. She lost her parents at a young age and had long forgotten what her father looked like.

As they were talking, the car arrived at the banquet venue.

Lin Cong got out of the car, holding up her skirt. After taking out the invitation, Lin Cong entered smoothly.

After entering, the forest was met with many scrutinizing glances. She was a touch of green amidst the myriad colors, not dazzling but gleaming.

Lin Cong felt a little awkward. There was no one familiar here, and she didn't know where she fit in.

At this time, Su Qian and Xia Ruohan came over. Xia Ruohan was wearing a silver-gray dress, and her aristocratic temperament was clearly revealed.

Xia Ruohan's dress matched Su Qian's suit perfectly. Standing next to Su Qian, she looked delicate and charming.

"Congcong, I'll take you over there." Xia Ruohan pulled Lin Cong up.

Su Qian next to him nodded at Lin Cong as a greeting.

Lin Cong followed Xia Ruohan and Su Qian into the courtyard. Lin Cong thought that the place he was at was already the venue for the banquet, but he didn't expect that the interior of the courtyard was even more hidden.

The buildings in the courtyard look low-key, but in fact, every corner has been carefully designed, just like the Suzhou gardens.

Thinking of the last incident at Hyatt Palace, Lin Cong sighed that the strength of the Bai family was truly immeasurable.

There is a small pond in the yard. The rockery in the pond reminds Lin Cong of the poem "The whale's teeth and the Kun's mane rub against each other, and the giant spirit plays with the concave and convex sky."

The intricate stone peaks are both profound and solemn; the magnificent momentum is exquisite and mysterious.

"Congcong, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

"No need, you and Mr. Su can go and do whatever you want."

Lin Cong knew that Xia Ruohan and Su Qian had many acquaintances here, so it was inevitable that they would be polite. They couldn't just stand here with him forever.

"Well, feel free to hang out and give us a call if you need anything."

"Ok."

After saying that, Xia Ruohan walked away.

"You can do it yourself, right?"

Su Qian was still a little worried, as he knew it would be difficult for Lin Cong to adapt to this atmosphere.

"It's okay, Mr. Su, go ahead and get busy."

Su Qian nodded and left.

After a while, Xia Ruohan came back and said, "It's so annoying to talk to these people."

"Are you done so soon?"

"Not yet. Please hold this for me first. I will give it to Bai Luo later."

Xia Ruohan handed Lin Cong a box that looked very exquisite.

Lin Cong didn't think much about it and took the box. "Okay, then go and come back soon."

Xia Ruohan nodded and went back to chatting politely with the ladies.

Lin Cong held the box carefully. She felt that the things inside must be very valuable. If something went wrong, she would not be able to compensate even if she sold herself.

An unknown amount of time passed, but Xia Ruohan still hadn't arrived. Lin Cong looked around but didn't see Xia Ruohan.

Having stood there for a long time and wearing high heels, Lin Cong felt a little tired.

She took a few steps forward, wanting to stretch herself.

At this time, a waiter happened to pass by and happened to run into Lin Cong.

Lin Cong was caught off guard and nearly fell. Because the suddenness of the fall, the box fell into the pond.

"Ah!" Lin Cong's cry attracted many people's attention.

"My necklace!" Bai Luo suddenly appeared.

Bai Luo said to Lin Cong angrily, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did you throw my necklace into the water? That's the highlight of tonight."

As soon as Bai Luo said this, the people around him began to murmur.

Hearing the other person's tone, Lin Cong knew that this person was the daughter of the Bai family.

"Miss Bai, I'm so sorry, I was bumped into just now..."

"What should I do now? How am I going to show it later!" Bai Luo didn't care about Lin Cong's words.

Hearing the noise here, the security personnel also ran over.

"Miss Bai, what happened?" asked the security captain.

"The necklace fell into the pond."

"Don't worry, Miss Bai, we'll send someone to salvage it right away."

"No, go ahead and do your work. Whoever dropped the necklace will be held responsible."

The security team leader glanced at the nearby forest and immediately understood Bai Luo's intention. He then retreated with the other security personnel.

Hearing Bai Luo's words, Lin Cong was shocked. She felt that Bai Luo had bad intentions.

"Go pick it up for me."

"Miss Bai..."

"What? You're not going to pick it up?"

"it is good."

Lin Cong knew that there was no way out in this matter and she couldn't afford to offend the Bai family.
