Mi Yang and Wu Shuang went to the cocktail party together. Wu Shuang had the invitation from the Zhan family in her hand, so she got in smoothly.
Not long after they entered, they saw the female star in the lobby on the first floor. She was even more beautiful in real life than she looked on the screen, with a well-proportioned figure. She was standing there in high heels, talking with some of the most dazzling people in the audience, with a sweet smile on her face.
The person who brought Qiu Lan here was introducing Qiu Lan to the big shots at the party. The most prominent ones here, besides a few people from the Zhan family, were Bai Luochuan and a representative from another company. The Zhan family invested in a TV series, and Qiu Lan was the heroine. She came here today to build a good relationship with the investors. As for whether she had any ideas of her own, that was another matter.
Qiu Lan has a sweet appearance, and her eyes seem to speak when she looks at people, making all men feel soft-hearted.
But here Zhan Rong just smiled and was polite and distant, while Bai Luochuan's behavior was even more excessive. He stood there distracted, and no one knew what he was thinking. He looked bored.
Mi Yang was still carefully looking around for Bai Luochuan. Wu Shuang was much more alert than him. With her woman's intuition, she spotted Qiu Lan in the crowd almost instantly. Then she looked up and saw the men around her. Wu Shuang held Mi Yang's arm tightly and said in a low voice, "Look over there, at seven o'clock."
Mi Yang was used to this when he followed Professor Zhang and his archaeological team. As soon as Wu Shuang opened his mouth, he found the correct position, and then he also reacted and laughed softly: "I thought you were working with the teacher, just point it out to me."
Wu Shuang's eyes were still fixed on that side. There were many people in that small circle. Zhan Rong was facing her sideways and had not yet noticed her coming in. However, the female star raised her eyes and glanced at her, then quickly looked away again, with the smile on her face unchanged.
Wu Shuang said: "I can't lose."
Mi Yang: “Ah?”
Wu Shuang was wearing a fur coat, which exposed half of her shoulders. Although her expression looked indifferent, her full fighting spirit could be felt from a distance. She strode over with Mi Yang, her eyes never leaving Zhan Rong.
Zhan Rong sensed something. When he looked up and saw her, he was surprised and happy. He took a few steps towards her: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you would come early tomorrow morning..." As he spoke, he pulled the clothes on her shoulders, fearing that she would be cold.
Wu Shuang: “…”
Wu Shuang: "There was nothing to do when I got there. I was bored staying in the hotel alone, so I came here." She wanted to expose her shoulders, but when she tried, Zhan Rong held her down without saying a word.
Zhan Rong pinched her nose and said with a smile, "Naughty."
Bai Luochuan over there also saw Mi Yang. He was stunned for a moment before happily pulling him to his side. He lowered his head and asked him, "You, are not following the plan?" Young Master Bai spoke in jargon, and carefully gestured to the location upstairs and said vaguely, "Uncle Mi is drinking tea upstairs."
Mi Yang's focus was mostly on Qiu Lan. He retracted his gaze and whispered, "It's okay. I'll go talk to him later."
Bai Luochuan was very happy: "Yes, this way we can be together during the day."
Mi Yang nodded and responded.
Qiu Lan stood there looking at him curiously, and Mi Yang's eyes met hers. He didn't know if it was because she was wearing a dress today, or what, but he just felt that she was more beautiful than in his memory. Qiu Lan smiled at him, and he also smiled slightly, but only moved the corners of his lips. His arm was grabbed even tighter, and he suddenly came to his senses.
Bai Luochuan was amused and asked: "Where are you looking?"
Mi Yang said: "Just take a look..."
Bai Luochuan was unhappy: "I thought you came to see me."
Mi Yang quickly raised his head to look at his young master, whose face was already extremely grim.
Qiu Lan and Wu Shuang are both beauties, so it's normal for them to pay attention to each other and even compete secretly. However, Qiu Lan never expected that Mr. Xiaobai, whom she had tried so hard to hook up with, was so indifferent to her all night. After Wu Shuang and the handsome young man came in, Mr. Xiaobai acted like he had taken the wrong medicine. No matter what she said, he would also say an opposing opinion in a neither light nor heavy tone. She stood there as if she was having a debate with him.
Not only did they have no conversation, but Mr. Bai even started to act like a peacock, using her to show off his strengths from all angles.
From his face to his clothes, and then to talking about various topics, it was as if he was the one at home.
Qiu Lan's smiling face was stiff, he felt a pain in his head and was exhausted both physically and mentally.
She came here just to find a sponsor, but why does it feel like the sponsor is playing a game of "Who is more beautiful, me or Xu Gong" with her? The judge seems to be that gentleman named Mi Yang... The new female protagonist Qiu Lan is facing two opponents at the same time. She feels that both Mr. Xiaobai and Wu Shuang are competing with her for beauty. Even the gaze of the judge Mi Yang seems a bit strange. It doesn't look like he is simply appreciating her.
Zhan Rong took Wu Shuang's hand, not hiding the intimacy between them: "Shuangshuang, this ring is the one you won an award recently, right? It looks beautiful." He kissed the ring on Wu Shuang's finger and smiled, "I haven't congratulated you on winning another award yet, so you have to give me a chance to show off this time."
Bai Luochuan was not to be outdone. He looked at his watch and revealed the ring on his ring finger: "Mr. Zhan is right, but it's a little late today. Otherwise, we can get together again tomorrow. It's rare for Mi Yang to come here, so we'll have more fun with more people."
Zhan Rong naturally agreed, and the two of them talked enthusiastically, praising each other. One said, "Mi Yang is a young and promising man with expertise in art", and the other said politely, "No, no, your Wu Shuang is an outstanding designer with great talent." Zhan San on the side was also familiar with the two people they were praising, one was his future sister-in-law, and the other was a popular person around old lady Zhan recently. He praised them greatly with a smile on his face, which made the people around them look at each other in bewilderment, and soon they followed suit.
For a moment, everyone's attention shifted from Qiu Lan to the two new people. They have seen many celebrities, but it is rare to see someone who can be valued so much by the Zhan family and this Mr. Xiaobai!
Qiu Lan: “…”
