A room dedicated to make-up and stylists, with various lamps and abundant light.
Under the bright light, Su Jiading stared at the outline of Ji Xuanyi's neck without blinking for a moment.
The Adam's apple is huge and sharp, and the skin is as delicate as white chocolate, revealing faint veins.
The only hint of meaningful red is her lower mouth.
Su Jia was stunned for a while, and looked away awkwardly: "You? Tell me to bite, and I'll bite? I won't do it."
Her tone was strong on the outside but dry on the inside, and her deterrent effect was close to nothing.
Ji Xuanyi put his hands around her waist, and brought her close to him?, the rascal said: "Then we won't go out today?"
Su Jia was surprised. Under the invasion of Qingyou sandalwood fragrance, she still remained calm: "You? Don't scare me. You still want to go to the dinner party."
"It's just a banquet." Ji Xuanyi really doesn't care, "It's not important."
Su Jia turned his head and looked straight, in his eyes full of playfulness and profligacy, he saw? himself? a little flustered.
She felt that what Ji Xuanyi meant was more than just being absent from the dinner for a few hours. How could he detain her for the entire long night.
Su Jia subdued him, angrily aimed at the teeth marks on his neck that were about to dissipate, and bit down hard
Also? Trying to learn from him, slowly rubbing lips and teeth together.
The perfume she wears today is "Jia Jing", which is in the same line as Ji Xuanyi's scent.
Necked with each other, two wisps of fragrance that are similar but different are intertwined, exchanged, and merged into one, inseparable.
It's like, her body is full of his smell.
The pain on Ji Xuanyi's neck gradually became clearer and deeper. He pinched Su Jia's waist with redoubled force, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
After all, Su Jia was a beginner, clumsy and jerky, he didn't know how to do it. After a long time, he only left a small mark on his neck.
Fortunately, her teeth are sharp, two rows of teeth marks are obvious, and there are two or three broken skins oozing blood, which cannot be recovered within a few days.
Ji Xuanyi looked in the mirror and wiped off the excess lipstick stains with a wet towel. He was still satisfied.
He let go of Su Jia and straightened his collar and tie.
When she finished her lipstick, he took her hand and said, "Let's go?"
Su Jia was surprised, thinking that he would ask a makeup artist to deal with it.
After all, the position of the hickey on his body is far from hers. Hers is on the back and can be blocked by a shawl.
And his neck was just where the shirt collar couldn't cover it.
Su Jia shook Ji Xuanyi's hand, pointed at his neck and asked, "Are you going this way? Seeing someone?"
Ji Xuanyi didn't think there was any problem, he turned the doorknob and walked out calmly.
The Zhou family spent a lot of money and booked a hotel specially for the dinner.
Su Jia got out of the car with Ji Xuanyi and headed to the gate, hesitantly looked at his neck. Against the background of suet jade, the tooth marks and red marks were abrupt and unobtrusive, and one could easily spot them at a glance.
"Will no one ask?" Su Jia asked in a low voice, holding his shawl with one hand and his arm with the other.
Ji Xuanyi looked at her sideways, and smiled in disbelief, as if he was replying: So what if I was asked
Su Jia didn't have the face to imagine that scene, so she said first: "If someone asks, you? Just say you were bitten by a bug."
"How can we Jiajia? Is it a bug?"
Ji Xuanyi laughed softly, raised his hand to wipe the ambiguous mark, could he feel the difference, "What kind of bug can? Have you? Such good teeth?"
When the matter came to an end, Su Jia didn't care about it: "Oh, you? Just say it like this, and insist on it, and refuse to admit it."
Anyway, don't drag it on her, she will die in society.
Stepping into the magnificently decorated banquet hall, Su Jia shifted her focus.
It wasn't too early, and there was a lot of wine and wine in the venue. Looking around?, there were all dressed up, glamorous men and women.
The Zhou family members of the organizer warmly welcomed the guests at the entrance, but Zhou Yuan was missing.
On the way here, Su Jia scrolled through Moments and saw that Yao Lin posted a group of cool photos of riding a motorcycle, including Zhou Yuan.
I don't know if it's because? She won't come, and Zhou Yuan simply didn't attend.
Most of the distinguished guests at the scene were in pairs. Su Jia glanced casually and found two acquaintances in the crowd.
Li Shuo and Ji Xuanyi's subordinates.
A mature woman in a bright red dress with a suit in her arms, Li Shuo in a neat attire, raised her wine glass and exchanged glasses with several men.
If it weren't for the delicate and complicated eye makeup, Su Jia would really like to rub her eyes to see if she is dazzled.
Didn't Ji Xuanyi say that his subordinates have fiances
Could it be Li Shuo
Someone noticed Ji Xuanyi and shouted "President Ji", and everyone nearby looked over.
Including Li Shuo and his female companion.
Li Shuo saw Su Jia naturally, and after a brief surprise, he grinned at her.
Those people all walked towards them, Su Jia was immersed in the accident of meeting Li Shuo, and smiled back.
Considering her first foray into this kind of occasion, Ji Xuanyi patted her hand lightly, wanting to say "Don't be nervous, do whatever you want, you don't need to be restrained", and found that she was beaming and staring in one direction.
Ji Xuanyi followed?Looked over?, to confirm who her eyes fell on, and frowned in displeasure.
He coughed twice, Su Jia looked away, looked at him and asked, "You? What's the matter? Is your throat uncomfortable?"
"The eyes are uncomfortable." Ji Xuanyi said coldly.
"Why are your eyes uncomfortable? Why are you coughing?" Su Jia carefully observed his eyes, the soul-stirring dark blue was still there.
But under his warning gaze, the volume of her question gradually lowered, and she could smell the acetic acid smell in the air dully.
However, Su Jia didn't have a chance to say anything, too many people gathered around.
In recent years, Ji Xuanyi has flourished in the business world of Beicheng, playing a pivotal role, and those who approach him all have the intention of clinging to him.
He briefly exchanged greetings with everyone, looked at the vice president Zhao Qing, and asked blankly, "Who is this next to you?"
Zhao Qing introduced: "My nephew Li Shuo, bring him here for a long time to see him."
It turned out to be relatives.
Su Jia lowered her head and touched her nose, feeling annoyed by her random guessing earlier.
Zhao Qing's eyes signaled Li Shuo to be smarter, "This is Mr. Ji, my immediate boss."
"Hello, Mr. Ji." Li Shuo said politely, "I didn't expect you to be my little aunt's boss."
"You don't need an honorific title like 'you', aren't you in the same class as my Jiajia?" Ji Xuanyi replied indifferently.
Su Jia, whose name was suddenly called, raised her head, and was surprised that no matter which direction she looked, she could meet a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
Zhao Qing's eyes circled around the three of them, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so he smoothed things over: "So you know each other."
"When I went to school to look for Jiajia, I met him several times." Ji Xuanyi responded briefly.
His tone was clearly very flat, with no ups and downs, but it fell on some people's ears, as if emphasizing the last three words.
Li Shuo answered, "This proves that Mr. Ji and I are destined."
The more Zhao Qing looked at her, the more flustered she became, and she secretly tugged at her nephew, reminding him not to talk anymore.
When Ji Xuanyi is calm, he is the easiest to go to war.
Su Jia also didn't care? He shook Ji Xuanyi's arm in a subtle way, telling him to say a few words less.
But his reaction was limited, he just wrapped her with his other hand.
Tonight should be lively, and the others racked their brains to change the subject.
Someone saw the red mark on Ji Xuanyi's neck, and deliberately joked: "Mr. Ji, what's the matter with the neck?"
Su Jia was surprised that someone would actually ask the question, and secretly rejoiced that she and Ji Xuanyi had exchanged lines.
Unexpectedly, did you hear? Ji Xuanyi couldn't understand? He said flatly: "This, my little one? The fox's teeth are itchy. Grind her teeth."
Su Jia looked up in surprise, and scolded him with wide eyes. Why didn't he play the cards according to the routine!
Ji Xuanyi never thought of lying about this matter, so he gave her a doting smile.
Anyone with a discerning eye could understand the meaning of his words, and while teasing, he kept scanning Su Jia, guessing her origin.
Li Shuo took a deep look at her, retreated silently, and brought a glass of strong wine.
Many eyes gathered, Su Jia leaned against Ji Xuanyi embarrassingly, and secretly twisted his arm.
"Hey, everyone is here." A rough male voice came from behind.
When everyone turned their heads, it was a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a precarious hairline. Someone called him Mr. Qin.
The woman on his arm was a head taller than him, young and beautiful, full of jewels.
Su Jia took a good look at the woman's appearance and couldn't help being taken aback.
Isn't that Yue Wanwan's older sister, Yue Qiaoqiao
Su Jia turned to Ji Xuanyi, who was also his ex-girlfriend.
Ji Xuanyi's expression was dull, he didn't respond, and looked away after a glance.
He also had no intention of going to talk to Boss Qin, so he took Su Jia to the corner booth.
The fruits on the coffee table were all Su Jia's favorites. While tasting them, she looked at the auction list handed over by the waiter.
All the money raised in this charity dinner was used to save impoverished children in mountainous areas, and the auction items given were all rare objects collected by the Zhou family for many years.
Su Jia was not interested in antique vases, yellow rosewood furniture, etc., and only took a second look when he found a sapphire.
Ji Xuanyi approached her: "Like this?"
"It's just that I think it looks good." Su Jia replied truthfully, it's hard not to attract attention with the shiny accessories.
At this time, it seems that a heavyweight figure has arrived, and the venue is suddenly lively.
A man over half a century old has a big belly and no female companion. Everyone calls him Mr. Yang.
"Isn't that Yang always..." Su Jia put down the auction list, leaned against Ji Xuanyi, and asked in a low voice.
Ji Xuanyi: "Yes."
Su Jia let out a heavy "hum", and the delicately drawn little face showed a touch of emotion.
Ji Xuanyi slightly hooked his lips: "Don't like him?"
"You? You had a car accident, and he has nothing to do with it." Su Jia replied in a low voice.
Ji Xuanyi smiled, her frankness and fearlessness are the most rare.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ji Xuanyi asked teasingly.
Su Jia thought about it carefully, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, she was just a freshman, not tender enough for a big guy to stuff her teeth.
"I'll go back and make a little man like him, God □□ he has darts on his body." Su Jia replied half-truthfully.
Ji Xuanyi let out a laugh, "You? Still? Know how to play darts" was still spinning around in his mouth, and the object of the speech came over.
He came with Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yue Qiaoqiao and Mr. Qin, the new prime minister.
They were rushing at Ji Xuanyi, but their eyes lingered on Su Jia, looking at him in various ways.
Su Jia didn't like the eyes of the three of them, and ate the fruit in silence.
In the business field, there are only eternal interests. Several people have their own thoughts and ideas, but they can drink and talk happily in peace.
The two elderly bosses handed the wine in front of everyone. Ji Xuanyi gave them this face and raised their glasses to touch each other.
See? Su Jia didn't move, President Qin asked, "Wouldn't this young lady have a drink?"
Ji Xuanyi replied for her: "She doesn't drink."
He had a tough attitude and kept his word. Mr. Yang and Mr. Qin didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Yue Qiaoqiao glanced at Su Jia with contempt and disdain, as if to convey: she doesn't even know how to drink.
Su Jia turned a blind eye and focused on forking the fruit on the plate.
Ji Xuanyi didn't know if he noticed Yue Qiaoqiao's unkind gaze, or just wanted to explain: "I won't let her drink."
Mr. Yang and Mr. Qin laughed a few times, and Yue Qiaoqiao's face became more than a little stiff.
Su Jia ignored it and quietly did herself.
But this kind of atmosphere really can't make her feel happy. Several people have different opinions, hypocrisy and obscenity, and each show their acting skills.
It may be that Mr. Qin is enlivening the atmosphere, and Ji Xuanyi would respond with a sentence from time to time.
He squeezed Su Jia's hand, looked at her who had become taciturn, turned his eyes away, and casually gave the venue ahead a wink.
Immediately, a man ran over and smiled generously: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Qin, you have been chatting with Brother Yi for so long, let me have a chat too."
Su Jia looked sideways, and saw an unfamiliar face.
Mr. Yang and Mr. Qin are both smart people. They walked down the stairs wisely, got up and went to meet other people.
Men take their place and sit on the armchair.
Ji Xuanyi introduced Su Jia: "Friend, Liu Hao."
Liu Hao nodded at Su Jia, and called sweetly, "Sister-in-law."
Su Jia blinked unexpectedly, and smiled brightly: "You? Good."
Ji Xuanyi's friend, she only knew Zhou Yuan before, but today she knows one more, and she feels a little calmer than Zhou Yuan.
Liu Haoming secretly glanced at Su Jia several times, with his upper body leaning towards Ji Xuanyi: "As expected of you? Being the ancestor's offering? Anyone who puts this fairy sister in his hands is willing to offer it."
Ji Xuanyi took a sip of his wine and calmly reminded: "Pay attention to your eyes."
Liu Hao hurriedly took his eyes away from Su Jia.
Su Jia only heard a few words and didn't understand them: "What ancestor?"
Ji Xuanyi put down his wine glass and smiled back: "They say you are my little ancestor."
When Su Jia heard this statement for the first time, she was slightly startled, and the lip line curved uncontrollably.
Not far away, Yue Qiaoqiao, who was drinking and socializing with Mr. Qin, pricked up his ears, heard most of their conversation, and his complexion became more and more ugly.
Sensing her absent-mindedness, Mr. Qin snorted, "Miss your old friend? What she's looking for now is beautiful."
"How come? I hate Ji Xuanyi to death." Yue Qiaoqiao retorted, "I just find it strange that he would spoil such a little brat."
She knew a lot from Mei Yue Wan Wan when she was a child. Looking through the posts on their school forum, there are countless photos of Su Jia and Ji Xuanyi in the same frame.
Yue Qiaoqiao's time with Ji Xuanyi was very short, less than a month.
It's not that he can't find the person, but it's hot and cold, unpredictable, Yue Qiaoqiao never dared to expect to sit on his lap and be gently rubbed by him.
"Am I much worse than her?" Yue Qiaoqiao boasted that her appearance and talent were one in a million, but her heart was arrogant and unconvinced.
However, after a pause of half a second, she curled her lips and added, "Except for age."
Mr. Qin's scanner-like gaze scanned the field back and forth, looking for a target to match.
He met several business partners, knew their preferences, and replied with a half-smile: "You have your advantages."
Yue Qiaoqiao looked at him for a moment and understood his implication.
She hated it from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't do it. She let go of his arm: "I'll go and get ready."
Su Jia listened to Ji Xuanyi chatting with Liu Hao for a while, but the latter didn't stay for long and went to another floor.
Zhao Qing came to him and said sorry, "Mr. Ji, I shouldn't disturb you, but Mr. Ye is here, upstairs, and I need you to come in person? See? See you?"
Ye Lao is highly respected, and Ji Xuanyi has plans to cooperate with the Ye family in the future, so he really should go to visit him.
But according to Mrs. Ye's selfish personality, he would not be willing to bring a female companion.
Ji Xuanyi glanced at Su Jia, hesitating a little.
Su Jia said, "You? Go? Let's go. I'm fine by myself."
Ji Xuanyi looked at Zhao Qing and asked, "You? Where's your nephew?"
Zhao Qing felt a chill down his spine, regretted bringing Li Shuo here tonight, and told the truth: "I went to the garden with some young people."
Ji Xuanyi pondered for a while, and said to Su Jia: "Wait here for me obediently."
Su Jia nodded, eating in a regular manner? She walked around the destination and looked around the venue.
She saw Li Shuo in the crowd again, and the latter turned around when he saw that she was alone.
Su Jia knew that Ji Xuanyi cared about him very much, so he looked a little embarrassed.
Li Shuo had good eyesight, so he didn't move closer to her, but sat on the single sofa at a certain distance.
He brought a few top-notch pastries and said, "I've tried all of these, and each one tastes better than the other."
"Thank you." Su Jia loves spicy food, but it doesn't affect her sweet tooth.
"Is it fun here?" Li Shuo asked casually.
Su Jia picked up a piece of pea yellow and took a small sip: "It's not bad."
There are differences from what I imagined, but within the acceptable range.
"I don't like it." Li Shuo said bluntly, "Those people are too hypocritical, I can't bear it."
Su Jia thought of Yao Linxia's evaluation of the complicated and stupid participants, and remembered the ironic scene where Mr. Yang and Mr. Qin approached Ji Xuanyi.
With a stone in her heart, what she said was: "The world of adults, it's not normal to be hypocritical."
Li Shuo looked at her and said firmly, "You? You don't like it either."
Su Jia pinched Pea Huang's fingertips hard, the soft snack? It was about to be crushed.
At this time, the center of the venue was replaced by another hustle and bustle. Drinks and refreshments retreated to the second line, and people also retreated one after another, leaving a large area.
Attracted by the noise, Su Jia and Li Shuo looked up. There were ten targets erected on the periphery. A woman wearing a peaked cap, a black tube top and a short dancer was holding darts. The darts were shot at the dart board.
It's Yue Qiaoqiao.
Su Jia knew that she was good at jazz dance, and was famous and highly sought after in the dance circle.
But at this moment, the proud professional dancer seems to be the object of everyone's entertainment.
A lot of men pointed at her exposed waist and chopstick legs, with wretched expressions.
Su Jia looked for Mr. Qin in a blink of an eye, but he was standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Yang, looking directly at Yue Qiaoqiao's strong rhythmic dance, opening and closing his mouth, as if introducing.
Or... a sales pitch.
Su Jia was stung by these two sudden words, put down the pea yellow, took a sip of warm water, unwilling to think deeply.
Just as she was about to put down the glass, Yue Qiaoqiao threw a dart that missed and shot straight at her.
