She couldn't help but think of the day when she met him in the box. Thinking of the things he said to himself in the box and the things he did. Think of his superior appearance, no guilt expression, and playful and sarcastic smile.
Thinking of these, she felt cold all over.
It's like a nightmare, since she met him three years ago, she has fallen into a nightmare created by him.
Just now, she passed by Lu Jingcheng, but this time she inevitably met his gaze.
Xu Nianyi's breathing was completely disordered, she wanted to turn her head, but was overwhelmed by Lu Jingcheng's sharp and cold eyes, she couldn't move her eyes away no matter what.
Not far away, Lu Jingcheng was still leaning lazily on the soft chair under him. He was dressed in a black fine-cut suit, making him even darker and colder. His resolute handsome face was expressionless, and his pair of phoenix eyes did not blink for a moment. gazed at her.
If it wasn't for being in the hall at this time, the host's voice would have been echoing in her ears; if it wasn't for the bright and warm light in the hall, she would almost be completely swallowed by the vortex in Lu Jingcheng's eyes.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Beside him, Shao Jun did not know when he noticed the abnormality of the woman beside him, and turned his head to look at Xu Nianyi suspiciously.
Seeing her sitting on a chair as if petrified, looking back motionless, he followed her line of sight and looked behind him.
Hei Mou glanced lightly, and saw a man in a neat suit sitting on the third row of chairs——Lu Jingcheng.
Lu Jingcheng obviously also noticed someone's gaze. His eyes that were originally staring at Xu Nianyi suddenly turned, and his eyes fell on Shao Jun. When his phoenix eyes blinked, it was as if the eyes in a deep pool did not see any waves. look at each other.
Shao Jun also looked at him fixedly, there was no change in his soft face, but the color of his eyes deepened a lot. The pupils that were originally as black as lacquer became deeper, and a subtle emotion flashed in the depths of the dark pupils, but quickly disappeared in the corners of the eyes.
In this way, the two of them looked at each other very calmly for a while.
After a long time, Lu Jingcheng suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked at him with a half-smile, his phoenix eyes showed a little mockery.
However, Shao Jun didn't seem to have seen Lu Jingcheng's provocation, there was a sense of elegance lingering between his brows, he raised his head proudly with an innate dignity, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth, raising a smack Indifferent smile.
In his gentle and soothing smile, there was an unfathomable taste.
Seeing Shao Jun showing such a smile, Lu Jingcheng, who was leaning on the soft chair, frowned, and his lazy posture instantly became tense.
Because, the moment Shao Jun smiled—he felt a familiar aura of the same kind! Just like what he has in himself, he is cold, aloof, and even vengeful.
But Shao Jun took the lead to look away, and stopped staring at Lu Jingcheng. Instead, he turned his gaze away, lightly landed on Xu Nianyi's body, and woke up a certain woman beside him with a playful tone: "Hey, I'm going to be a hooligan."
While talking, he really stretched out his hand to touch Xu Nianyi.
"Hey!" Xu Nianyi immediately came back to his senses, and when he saw the hand touching his thigh, he immediately raised his hand and knocked it away, "Hooligan!"
"Don't worry, I'm a dedicated person. Even if I'm a hooligan, I'll only be a hooligan to you." Shao Jun's smile was a little more serious.
Xu Nianyi gave him a helpless look: "Mr. Shao, the party is not over yet, can you concentrate a little bit?"
"I've been paying attention to you." The man said seriously.
"I'm talking about work." Xu Nianyi had black lines on his face.
Fortunately, all the echoes in the hall are the sound of external speakers, otherwise, these words between her and Shao Jun would have been heard by many people.
"Chatting with you is not in conflict with attending the party. Don't you think so?" Shao Jun is still not serious, completely different from his rigor in the company during the day.
"… "very good. She found that when he grew up, Shao Junyuan was much more eloquent than when he was a teenager. She still prefers his cold and reticent look.
"Don't tease you. The fundraising is about to start, sit down obediently. Also, you are not allowed to turn back." Seeing that she was speechless again, Shao Jun put away the smile on his face and recovered. Elegant and gentle on weekdays.
"Yes, Mr. Shao." She nodded respectfully, responding to him like Shen Feng.
Shao Jun glanced at her tenderly and said nothing.
Soon, as the star singing and dancing came to an end, the charity gala reached its climax, and the highlight of the gala, the fundraising activity, began.
On the stage, a few hostesses pushed up several antique vases from the Qing Dynasty, and began bidding for donations.
The form of fundraising is determined by the initiator, and there are various forms.
It is said that it is an auction item, but since it is a charity auction, it is still the same as giving away money for free. The value of the item is far lower than the auction price.
Although the things pushed on the stage have certain collection value, they are not absolutely worth money.
To put it bluntly, it is to pay a high price for an item that you don't need or is worthless.
But for the high-level people of these various group companies, it is necessary to attend such an occasion, which can not only promote their own enterprises, but also be a good opportunity to make partners.
Xu Nianyi sat on a chair, boredly looking at the several antique vases displayed on the stage in front of him.
Although she came from a famous family since she was a child, there are several antique collections at home, which were collected by her grandfather and donated to her mother. But she never likes this, so she can't see any good or bad.
Even a ruthless person like Lu Jingcheng can be a philanthropist, how many truly selfless charities are there
The business people sitting at the gui guest seats have already started bidding for quotations, their voices one after another, one over the other.
The feeling of thorns behind her back gradually disappeared, she didn't dare to turn her head, let alone look at Lu Jingcheng.
If Shao Jun wasn't present today, she really didn't know what Lu Jingcheng would do when he saw her...
*
after an hour.
It was already 10:30 in the middle of the night, and the party was coming to an end.
Just as Xu Nianyi came out of the bathroom, he stood in front of the sink outside the bathroom, arranging his makeup.
It's been a long time without makeup, looking at her handsome but obviously mature face in the mirror, she was slightly taken aback.
Yes, I was locked up there for three years. When they came out, they were already 27 years old.
She stared at herself in the mirror for a long time before forcing a smile on her face.
Fortunately, Xu Nianyi, it's not too late, you still have a chance in life.
She smiled to cheer herself up, but she didn't notice that two men were gradually approaching in the mirror, and they were about to walk behind her.
"who?"
Glancing at the two figures in the corner of the mirror, Xu Nianyi turned around abruptly, looking warily at the two strange men who had already walked in front of him: "Who are you?"
The two men didn't back away, nor did they show the slightest bit of embarrassment. Instead, he looked at her blankly, and asked in a businesslike tone, "Excuse me, is this Miss Xu?"
"..." Xu Nianyi didn't answer, but stepped back with guarded eyes, "What do you want to do?"
"My husband wants to see you. I would like to invite you to come over." One of the men explained.
Xu Nianyi's face froze, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes: "Who is your husband?" She met two dangerous people tonight, one was the weird man who was looking for Xu Fei. The other one is - Lu Jingcheng.
