Chapter 49 The Venomous CEO in the Love Story 3

Ling Yuan turned around at the sound, his movements graceful and calm. His gaze fell on the tray held by a servant, and he reached for a glass of red wine. He gently swirled the glass, and the red wine shimmered charmingly under the light. Ling Yuan raised his lips slightly, revealing a smile. "Go pick someone up. By the way, let me introduce you to Ling Jiu, my sister."

Lingjiu slowly raised her head at her brother's words. In that instant, her gaze met that of a stunningly beautiful man. His complexion was as white as snow, seemingly untouched by time. His narrow, long eyes were slightly tilted upward, and a carefree expression lingered beneath his brows. He seemed lazy and carefree, yet, in that casualness, he exuded an air of contempt for the world.

Lingjiu was attracted by the man in front of her. She was slightly stunned, then smiled and politely greeted the man in front of her: "Hello, I'm Lingjiu." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains.

The man paused slightly at Lingjiu's greeting. He seemed moved by Lingjiu's beauty and grace. He then extended his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Lu Huai, your brother's good friend." His smile was warm and sincere, evoking an inexplicable sense of intimacy. His hand, long and strong, gently grasped Lingjiu's, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

It's not nice to hold a girl's hand all the time. Lu Huai felt a sense of reluctance, as if the soft touch still lingered in his palm. He slowly loosened his hand, a subtle lingering look in his eyes. Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile, and asked, "Sister Ling, did you just return home? Will you leave again in the future?" His voice was gentle and pleasant, as if carrying an irresistible magic.

Lingjiu shook her head slightly, "I won't leave this time." Then she frowned slightly and said, "Also, don't call me Sister Ling, it sounds weak."

Lu Huai was stunned, then laughed. He hadn't expected Lingjiu to express his dissatisfaction so directly. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head, a glint in his eyes. "Then I'll call you Ah Jiu, okay?" His voice was full of anticipation, as if he was waiting for Lingjiu's response.

Lingjiu wondered to herself, was this person being so familiar? But because he was Lingyuan's good friend, she nodded. Her movements were gentle, as if only a slight movement, but it made Lu Huai's heart surge with joy. He knew that Lingjiu had left a mark on his heart, and this was just the beginning.

Ling Yuan stood aside, quietly watching the interaction between Lu Huai and Ling Jiu. He had known Lu Huai for so long, but in all his years, he had never seen Lu Huai look like this. A different light shone in Lu Huai's eyes, a gentleness and focus he had never seen before. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a faint smile on his face, as if the whole world had become brighter because of Ling Jiu's presence.

Ling Yuan's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition came over him. He glanced back and forth between Lu Huai and Ling Jiu, wondering to himself, "Could it be... that he's taken a fancy to his baby?"

Ling Yuan's eyes instantly became alert. He knew Lu Huai's excellence and also understood Lu Huai's charm. If he were asked to choose a future brother-in-law, he really couldn't find anyone more satisfactory than Lu Huai. However, the thought of his sister being with him made him feel uncomfortable and his hands itched, wanting to beat someone up.

He controlled his flaring temper and gently took his sister's hand, his gentle movements as if he feared the slightest force would hurt her. They slowly turned and walked in the opposite direction of Lu Huai. Each step was firm, as if to avoid some potential danger.

Lu Huai stayed where he was, watching their receding figures. Uh-oh! They've been discovered. But so what? He wouldn't let them go anyway.

From the moment he saw Lingjiu, his heart seemed to be illuminated by a light, a feeling he had never experienced before. He secretly made up his mind that he would pursue this sudden heartbeat no matter what.

After making sure he was far away from Lu Huai, Ling Yuan finally stopped. There was still a hint of vigilance in his eyes, as if he was still worried that Lu Huai would appear again.

Lingjiu found Lingyuan's nervous expression amusing. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. Her bright eyes fixed on Lingyuan as she teased, "Your friend has quite a lively personality."

Ling Yuan listened to his sister's words, and a depressed look appeared on his face. He replied gloomily: "He is not usually like this."

Lingjiu tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with curiosity as she asked, "Would you like to introduce your friend?"

Ling Yuan frowned slightly, as if pondering how to introduce Lu Huai. He pinched the bridge of his nose lightly and said helplessly, "He's the head of the Lu Group. Despite his young age, he possesses extraordinary leadership and business acumen. He's decisive and efficient, never dragging his feet. We met over a project. At the time, we were both working independently in the business world, and we engaged in a fierce competition for that project. But throughout that competition, I gradually discovered that he was a good person, principled, and responsible, and so we gradually became close."

Ling Yuan paused, as if recalling every moment he spent with Lu Huai. He thought for a moment and continued, "He has a major flaw."

This sentence instantly piqued Lingjiu's curiosity: "What shortcomings?"

Ling Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "He speaks very harshly, a bit of a venomous tongue. He always points out other people's problems without mercy. Sometimes, his words can drive people crazy."

She hasn't noticed this yet. In her previous life, his identity was at a level that the heroine couldn't reach, so naturally she didn't know Lu Huai.

Ling Yuan hadn't forgotten the real purpose of his trip. He led Ling Jiu through the banquet crowd, his demeanor elegant and composed. Whenever he met an important figure, Ling Yuan solemnly introduced Ling Jiu to them. His eyes were filled with pride and fondness, as if announcing to the world that this was his most cherished sister.

Ling Yuan smiled and introduced everyone, "This is my sister, Ling Jiu. She just returned from abroad." Ling Jiu nodded slightly and politely greeted everyone. Her smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and charming. Her temperament was elegant and noble, which made people fall in love with her.

As Ling Yuan continued to introduce her, more and more people came to know Ling Jiu. They were captivated by her beauty and elegance, and were filled with praise. That night, people from both the political and business circles were buzzing about the return of Ling Yuan's beloved sister. The news spread like wildfire, becoming the hottest topic at the banquet.

On this brilliant night, Lingjiu's name shone like a star in the political and business worlds. Her return not only brought endless joy to Lingyuan, but also injected new vitality into this world full of opportunities and challenges.
