The night is quiet, with the moon above the willow branches.
Shi Qinglan ran outside the Yunding Banquet Hall to get some air. She leaned lazily on the white jade pillars of the pavilion in the courtyard, looking up at the half-curved moon in the night sky, but her shoulders were suddenly wrapped by someone.
"Why did you run outside, huh?"
Bo Yucheng put his suit jacket on the girl and frowned slightly as he looked at her wearing a thin evening dress.
Shi Qinglan smiled with red lips and said, "Get some air."
Seeing that the corners of the girl's lips were still stained with traces of stolen chocolate, he lightly hooked his lips, wiped them with his fingertips, and then handed her a small box, "I brought it out for you."
Shi Qinglan took the small box and opened it.
Inside were all kinds of pastries in the banquet hall, most of which were her favorite chocolate flavor.
"You still understand me." Shi Qinglan blinked with her right eye.
A flirtatious look struck Bo Yucheng's heart, and he even had the idea of moving all the dessert tables in the banquet hall home...
"How long until the dinner ends?"
Shi Qinglan and Bo Yucheng were sitting side by side in the pavilion, with the breeze blowing on their faces and a few strands of hair covering their eyes in the wind.
The man stretched out his hand to smooth her broken hair, "Want to go home?"
Shi Qinglan curled her red lips lightly, "I thought it was really a charity dinner, but it turned out to be just a social event for your wealthy family. Except for the cover of donating money, there is no charity at all."
Hearing this, Bo Yucheng chuckled hoarsely.
In order to show their status, wealthy aristocrats often hold banquets under the guise of charity. In fact, they are just occasions for the families to win over people's hearts, and the theme becomes secondary.
"If you want to go home, then let's go." Bo Yucheng indulged her unconditionally and put his arm around her shoulders.
Shi Qinglan pursed her lips, "But I still want to buy a welfare home."
"I'll go talk to the dean alone, okay?" the man coaxed lovingly, then took the girl in his arms and prepared to leave.
At that time, Shi Qingjue had just left the banquet hall.
His palms were still covered in cold sweat. After realizing that he was very likely to find his sister, the strong excitement and nervousness strangled his heart, and he was even a little panicked and at a loss.
"Lan'er... Lan'er!"
Shi Qingjue shed her usual coldness and aloofness, and now she actually looked a little embarrassed. When he saw Shi Qinglan's back, he chased after her without hesitation, "Lan'er!"
Hearing this, Bo Yucheng's steps suddenly stopped.
Hearing this excited and eager call, the aura around him was instantly as cold as an ice cellar. A cold aura swept over the sky, and his arms around the girl couldn't help but tighten.
"Lan'er..." Shi Qingjue's voice tightened.
Shi Qinglan blinked her beautiful eyes slightly and raised her pretty face slightly to look at Bo Yucheng. Those moist eyes were clear and bright, full of innocence.
Bo Yucheng restrained his cold aura.
He moved his big hand around the girl's shoulders to her waist, pulled her into his arms more affectionately, and turned around.
"Master Shi." His eyes narrowed slightly and his thin lips opened slightly.
I really didn't expect that the potential love rival was someone from Shi's chaebol.
Shi Qingjue frowned, "Master Bo?"
The two major chaebols, the Bo family and the Shi family, have equal status among the wealthy families in the imperial capital. They don't even dare to have a third family call themselves the top. Both heirs are called Shengye.
Now it's tit-for-tat, and no one wants to call anyone "grandpa".
Shi Qinglan's red lips parted slightly, "Do you know each other?"
Two cold gazes collided in the air. The two men looked at each other and said in unison, "Not familiar."
