Surprise! The little puppy I raised is the heir of a wealthy family

The dinner venue has been set up.

The guests gathered together chatting and laughing.

Seeing Xue Yi appear in sight, Su Yanqing quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yanqing quietly pulled Xue Yi aside and asked, "Boss Xue, how did you know the jade pendant was back?"

Xue Yi said with a confused look on his face: "Assistant An told me."

Su Yanqing observed Xue Yi's expression and became even more puzzled. "You two don't usually have any private contact, so why did he believe what you said?"

"Hey..." Xue Yi interrupted her hurriedly, looked behind him and said hello, "Mr. Chen, long time no see!"

Then he walked straight away and started chatting with others, leaving Su Yanqing alone with her thoughts.

She found that An Mo seemed to be always active around her: from last night to now...

After thinking about all the people she knew, Su Yanqing still couldn't understand why she and An Mo had anything in common.

Is it just because of Xiao Chuyi?

The dinner was about to begin, and Xue Yi was mainly responsible for the social interactions at Zheng'an Group, so Su Yanqing chose to find a corner to sit and drink, while wondering why An Mo helped her so much.

At this time, someone came over and sat on the same sofa in a different position.

Su Yanqing turned her head and saw the masked man who had just taken the jade for her.

Although I was doing things according to An Mo's wishes, it did help me.

Thinking of this, Su Yanqing leaned over with a glass of wine in hand and whispered her thanks word by word.

The person under the mask slowly turned his head...

A pair of bright eyes stared at Su Yanqing through the mask.

The two looked at each other, and Su Yanqing frowned slightly.

She thought the masked man couldn't speak and might have hearing problems.

Thinking of this, Su Yanqing asked the waiter for paper and pen and quickly wrote down words of thanks.

The masked man took a look and turned to look at Su Yanqing.

Somehow, Su Yanqing felt that the masked man seemed to be smiling.

After a while, the masked man replied on the paper.

You're welcome.

Seeing him answer like this, Su Yanqing thought that he might really be having trouble speaking and his hearing was not very good, so she stopped talking and just sat quietly beside him, watching the people dancing in the dance floor in front of her.

After a while, the masked man gently touched Su Yanqing's arm and handed her the note.

Is that piece of jade important to you?

Su Yanqing nodded and was about to write something when the other party took the paper away and continued writing.

I understand.

Su Yanqing sighed deeply and said slowly, "I knew a boy when we were little. When he left, he left me this jade and said he would come find me when he grew up."

The masked man looked at her profile for a long moment.

How do you know he will come back?

It's been such a long time.

"I'm not sure, actually. I just want to wait a little longer and don't want to give up."

What are you waiting for?

"Wait for him to come back. Maybe he has forgotten the promise we made when we were little, or maybe he has already married and had children, but I just want to wait a little longer."

As she spoke, Su Yanqing turned to the masked man and gave a wry smile: "Doesn't it sound silly?"

Unexpectedly, the masked man shook his head firmly.

Not silly, very romantic.

Seeing this word, Su Yanqing laughed again: "Romance? I've never thought of it that way. It's just a little obsession."

The two of them stopped talking and fell into silence.

Until An Mo walked over from not far away, Su Yanqing seemed a little panicked and said to the masked man, "Assistant An is here. You should have something else to say. I'll be leaving first."

She left in a hurry without even finishing the drink in her cup.

An Mo walked through the crowd and quickly walked to the side of the masked man. He looked at Su Yanqing's hurriedly disappearing figure, pondered for a moment, and asked the masked man, "What happened to Miss Su?"

The masked man, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up: "I guess he was scared by you."

"Mr. Xiao!"

An Mo frowned slightly and glanced at the masked man. "I work so hard for you every day. If you don't want a raise, at least be nicer and stop mocking me."

The masked man laughed, raised his hand, gently patted An Mo's shoulder and said, "I still have to go pick up Su Yanqing, so I can't accompany you. You can deal with these people on your own."

“But there are still many customers…”

Before An Mo could finish his words, the masked man put down his wine glass and turned away.

Looking at the other person's back, An Mo sighed helplessly: "What sins did I commit in my previous life?"

Soon someone enthusiastically invited An Mo to join their conversation.

He walked into the dance floor again and busily entertained various leaders.

An Mo didn't notice at all that at the place where he had just separated from the masked man, a waiter looked back quietly with an extremely fierce look, staring at the direction where the masked man left.

The party ended quickly.

Xue Yi drank a lot, and Su Yanqing supported him as they stumbled out of the first floor of the mall.

Hey.

The motorcycle made a deafening sound and stopped abruptly in front of the two men.

Xiao Chuyi took off his helmet and had another one in his hand. He handed it to Su Yanqing and said, "It's over. I'm here to pick you up."

Su Yanqing was stunned: "Why are you so punctual? Have you been waiting for me?"

Xiao Chuyi pursed his lips and smiled: "Isn't it natural to come and pick up my wife from get off work?"

Su Yanqing smiled embarrassedly and pointed at Xue Yi next to her: "I can't ride your motorcycle back today. Mr. Xue is drunk and wants to..."

Before Su Yanqing finished speaking, Xue Yi, who had been staggering just now, suddenly stood up and looked at her seriously: "No, I can go back by myself."

Having said that, without waiting for Su Yanqing to react, he turned around and walked away quickly, waving goodbye to Su Yanqing.

When no one was around, Xue Yi held his chest and muttered quietly, "It's a good thing I didn't ask him to send me off, otherwise Zheng'an Group would have disappeared along with me."

Xiao Chuyi watched Xue Yiyuan go away, then curled his lips when he looked at Su Yanqing again, "Is this okay now?"

Su Yanqing looked at Xue Yi's departing back, nodded in confusion, and whispered to herself: "What's going on? He was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily just now?"

While Su Yanqing was still confused, Xiao Chuyi had already gotten off the motorcycle and walked straight to her.

He gently picked up the helmet and put it on Su Yanqing. The distance between them was only a palm's width.

The scent of him drifted into Su Yanqing's nose.

Xiao Chuyi turned his head slightly to the side and carefully checked the safety buckle of his helmet.

"Remember to wear your helmet tightly, don't get into trouble."

He spoke softly.

At this moment, Su Yanqing was almost sniffing at his neck.

The tip of its small nose kept sniffing, from top to bottom, as if it wanted to remember every odor of his body.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuyi raised his hands in surrender and took a few steps back. With his lips slightly pursed, he looked at Su Yanqing nervously and asked, "What happened?"

Su Yanqing suddenly raised her head and stared into Xiao Chuyi's eyes: "What were you doing just now?"

This question made Xiao Chuyi's whole body stiffen and his back felt cold.
