overdue lover

Drinking and socializing are inevitable at the reception, but Ji Qinglin is not good at both.

He and Dai Xingruo walked into the magnificent reception hall arm in arm, attracting everyone's attention.

Ji Qinglin had no time to care about other things, and followed Dai Xingruo's footsteps, trying her best to play the caring, gentlemanly boyfriend.

After exchanging pleasantries with several people, Dai Xingruo was taken by Sister Na to meet the editor-in-chief of an international fashion magazine. She wanted to ask Ji Qinglin if she wanted to be together, but Sister Na glanced at Ji Qinglin sideways, and said lightly: "Xiao Ji, just wait a bit. "

It's not surprising that the editor-in-chief of the magazine doesn't like Xiao Xiao's photography.

Ji Qinglin nodded knowingly, and told Dai Xingruo, "Don't drink too much, call me if you need something."

Dai Xingruo and Ji Qinglin agreed on a place to meet later, and left with Sister Na.

At the reception, the women were dressed in fragrant clothes, and the men were dressed in suits and leather shoes. Sometimes they leaned over and whispered, and sometimes looked at each other and laughed. Ji Qinglin, standing in the crowd, looked out of place.

After a day of tossing around, Ji Qinglin was also quite tired, so he automatically retreated to the corner of the reception hall, holding a teacup cheesecake in his hand that had sneaked to the corner by the dining table, put down the wine glass, and ate with a small spoon.

The cheese flavor of the cake is very strong, the mouth is soft and sweet, and the blueberries dotted on the top layer are plump and juicy.

The cheesecake fit Ji Qinglin's sweet taste very well, he finished one quickly, scraped the bottom of the cake shell with a small spoon, and savored the remaining deliciousness carefully.

When Gu Yinmo walked down the spiral staircase, he saw this scene at a glance.

His eyes slowly softened, and the corners of his tight lips relaxed a little.

Gu Yinmo's subtle expression changes were clearly seen by Pei Yang who was diagonally behind.

Holding two glasses of wine, Pei Yang quickened his pace to keep up with Gu Yinmo, tripped when someone passed by, and fell straight into Gu Yinmo's arms.

The exclamation, which was not too big or small, caused a panic. The waiter who was close came to wipe the red wine on Gu Yinmo and Pei Yang. A wine glass flew out and landed on the marble floor of the hall, falling to pieces. .

Of course, Ji Qinglin also noticed the accident. He only saw one figure fall to the other on the stairs. The two fell backwards, and then quickly got up. Ji Qinglin also saw clearly that Gu Yinmo was protecting Pei Yang tightly. In arms scene.

In the event of an accident, it is human instinct to subconsciously protect the people around you.Ji Qinglin used the knowledge in the textbook to explain Gu Yinmo's behavior.

But the two of them did not separate immediately after they stood firm. Gu Yinmo took off the suit jacket that was heavy with alcohol, and took the towel to wipe Pei Yang's slightly damp hair.

More and more people came up the stairs to help, Pei Yang nodded apologetically to everyone, and Gu Yinmo stood beside him, comforting and explaining to everyone.

After realizing that nothing major happened, the tension on people's faces subsided, and the happy expression filled everyone's face again.

From a distance, everyone's mouth shape seems to be praising the good match between the two.

Ji Qinglin just raised his head like this, staring blankly at the dazzling two people, and didn't look away until his neck felt a little sore.

When Ji Qinglin and Gu Yinmo were together, they also accompanied him to the reception.

The invitees to the reception were all the dignitaries and officials of Lucheng. As the son of an entertainment tycoon, Gu Yinmo became the focus of attention as soon as he entered the venue.

Ji Qinglin wore a valuable dress and was held by Gu Yinmo to meet people. He was afraid that his poverty would be seen through at a glance. After only a few meetings, Ji Qinglin escaped from the reception with the excuse of going to the bathroom.

His inherent inferiority complex and sensitivity made his relationship with Gu Yinmo destined to be unequal.

Ji Qinglin did not return to Gu Yinmo that night, but secretly left in a taxi alone.

He didn't know if Gu Yinmo waited for him to go back, because neither of them mentioned the reception again.

Ji Qinglin realized later that Gu Yinmo should be disappointed in himself.

No one needs an unreliable wimp as a lover.

It's even more impossible for someone as proud as Gu Yinmo.

As for what Gu Yinmo said, that Pei Yang was his stand-in, he probably said it casually to make himself happy.Ji Qinglin thought, men like excitement, and Gu Yinmo will inevitably fall into the cliché.

It seemed that Gu Yinmo had found an important reason for breaking up, which made Ji Qinglin heave a sigh of relief, and it was no longer difficult to look directly at the figures of the two of them going to the lounge to change clothes.

He threw the teacup cake shell in his hand into the trash can beside the table, and then picked another piece of cake to taste carefully.

Dai Xingruo walked towards him with her skirt in hand, and felt a little helpless when he saw that he was still eating the cake.

Ji Qinglin invited her to try the cheesecake, "It's really not bad, how about a piece?"

Dai Xingruo refused, "I have to keep fit, this, I can't touch it at all."

"It's a bit pitiful." Ji Qinglin shook his head, commented, and then put a small piece into his mouth after speaking.

Ji Qinglin's Buddhist personality is one of Dai Xingruo's advantages in him. No matter what time, Ji Qinglin knows how to measure and understand etiquette, and he will never go beyond one step.

Dai Xingruo watched him eat the cake with greedy eyes, turned his head away and said, "I heard a big thing."

Ji Qinglin was used to Dai Xingruo's exaggerated expressions, but he still followed her to ask something.

Dai Xingruo shook his wine glass, "It's about Pei Yang."

"I guessed Pei Yang's identity, but I didn't expect him to hide it so deeply - he is the illegitimate son of the current chairman of the Lee Consortium in Country H. Not many people know his identity, and even if many people know, they dare not casually Zhang Yang."

Even though Ji Qinglin doesn't care about the international economy anymore, he has heard about the Li's consortium, which is incomparably rich.

But the current chairman is over 80 years old, and Ji Qinglin still feels that the news is not very reliable.

Seeming to see Ji Qinglin's suspicion, Dai Xingruo explained in his ear again: "It is said that the most advanced artificial insemination was used at that time, and some of the best genes were found in the global egg bank for breeding. He is the only one among so many children. He grew up smoothly, although he is said to be the child of the old chairman's driver, but he was treated the same as young masters when he was young."

Hearing that Dai Xingruo even pulled out such things as the egg bank, Ji Qinglin felt that the gossip was too absurd, and he felt that it was not good to discuss other people's private affairs behind his back, so he stopped Dai Xingruo from continuing.

Dai Xingruo thought of something, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Man, there is no good thing... I think the story of Chairman Li and his lover's parting and death caused a sensation all over the world, but later on, he took advantage of his wealth and married several wives. He is so beautiful, I really don't know what his wife who died young would think in heaven..."

She pestered Ji Qinglin with her arm, "—Tell me, will you beat him up a few times in your dreams at night?"

Dai Xingruo often complains to Ji Qinglin about the secrets of a wealthy family, but this question is really difficult for Ji Qinglin, who witnessed his father's cheating a few days ago, to answer.

Ji Qinglin recalled how his father was happy with a strange woman, and could understand why his father was eager to escape from his mother and family, but no matter how painful or depressed, it was not the reason for his cheating.

He could choose to speak clearly and then divorce, but he chose the most stupid way.

After waiting for a long time but not getting an answer, seeing that Ji Qinglin's expression was not very good, Dai Xingruo opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "You don't know how to empathize with scumbags, do you?"

Ji Qinglin held the wine glass tightly, took a sip, "I just thought of something."

Dai Xingruo thought he was thinking about Gu Yinmo, heaved a sigh of relief, and put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, Pei Yang won't marry my brother, he has his own fiancé."

【Speak】

From what it sounds like, Mr. Li is really growing old and strong.

Good night in advance! ! !
