Xu Yini's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huai smiled.
"Uncle Xi, you know that I never have a female companion."
Although he smiled, his tone was loose, but he clearly refused.
Xu Yini instantly poured a basin of cold water on her head.
The smile on her face became a little forced.
Xi Lin is an elder, so he can say these words, but in fact, it also means a little matchmaking.
He is the host of this reception again.
It stands to reason that Lu Huai should save face.
But he didn't.
The answer was given straightforwardly.
Xi Lin didn't seem to expect that Lu Huai would say that, and was momentarily stunned.
There were also some people around who heard these words with subtle expressions.
Xu Yini quickly adjusted her expression.
"Uncle Xi, I have a schedule tonight, and I'm not suitable to be Huai's female companion if I stay here soon."
This can be regarded as saving a little face for myself.
Xi Lin showed some regret.
"Ah, that's really inconvenient."
We are all smart people, and if we give each other a step, we will naturally come down.
Xi Lin looked at Lu Huaiyu again, and said with a smile:
"Huaiyu, you have been in Yunzhou all year, but you haven't had a good drink for a long time. The glass in your hand is my new collection. You must try it. By the way, there are still in the wine cellar. Let's go take a look together later?"
Lu Huaiyu brought the wine glass to his lips, and the clear and strong aroma of the wine filled the air. He suddenly stopped, remembered something, and smiled again.
"Thank you, Uncle Xi, for your hospitality."
Xu Yini has no interest in the wine cellar, and just now she was refuted by Lu Huai and Na, so she didn't go with them, and went to a corner to sit and rest by herself.
She had a cold expression, with an unconcealable boredom between her brows and eyes.
Many people were looking at her, discussing something in low voices.
"What happened just now? Second Young Master Lu rejected Xu Yini?"
"It's true that he never takes a female companion, so it can't be said that he refuses."
"Why not? Xu Yini came here just for him, how could there be other itinerary arrangements? That's all."
"Hey, I really don't know what Second Young Master Lu is thinking. She is willing to reject such a beauty? Xu Yini is beautiful, has a good family background and education, and the most important thing is that she has been devoted to him all these years. By such a woman After chasing him for so long, he can't bear it alone, right? He's actually unmoved at all."
"So what? People have this capital! What's more, do you think that Xu Yini is the only one like this? In the past few years, there have been too many women who have used various means to chase after Lu Huaihe. To be honest, Xu Yini is good, but the others are not bad either. Don't they all stay at arm's length?"
Xu Yini sat on the sofa, listening to those words, felt even more depressed.
Many people in the capital don't know about it, but she knows that Lu Huai and Mingming have had female companions.
— Ning Li.
This kind of thing, in the final analysis, just depends on whether he is willing or not.
If he is not willing, no one can force him.
He can be thoughtful and considerate if he wants to.
She drank the wine in the glass.
The waiter was quick to refill it for her.
Taking a glance from the corner of her eye, Xu Yini saw Yi Bin not far away.
At this time, several people were surrounding him and talking about something.
Although he is only an assistant, he is Lu Huaiyu's special assistant, of course it is different.
Many people also want to inquire about some news about Lu Huaiyu from him.
Yi Bin was no stranger to this situation.
With a polite smile on his face, he treated everyone well, but he always took a roundabout policy when they asked questions.
As a result, everyone tried their best to ask for a long time, but no useful information came out.
After tossing and tossing for a long time, everyone finally realized that it might not be easy to find out something from him, so they gradually calmed down.
Unwilling to give up, a young woman rolled her eyes and changed the subject.
"Assistant Yi, what are you holding in your hand?"
Yi Bin looked down at the bag in his hand.
"This is Er Shao's book."
When he came out of the company, Lu Huaiyu handed him the book and asked him to keep it safe.
Yi Bin guessed that he probably planned to return directly to Lu's house after the reception was over, and take the book back with him.
He didn't know what was special about this book, but he knew very well that Lu Huaiyu really valued this book very much.
So he was extremely attentive and kept it with him all the time.
"Second Young Master Lu's? What book?"
The woman was obviously interested and poked her head over here,
"Can you show us?"
Yi Bin paused.
"Sorry, I'm afraid this is inconvenient."
The woman was taken aback, as if she didn't expect to be rejected.
Isn't it just a book
It looks like a pretty thick book.
"Assistant Yi, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious and want to know what books Er Shao usually reads"
Yi Bin persisted.
"About this, you can directly ask Second Young Master."
The woman choked.
If she is qualified to ask Lu Huai directly this question, why waste her time here
"What book, he likes to read it so much, why did he specially let Assistant Yi carry it with him?"
A voice interrupted the embarrassing silence.
Xu Yini came over at some point, her eyes fell on the bag in Yi Bin's hand, and she stretched out her hand.
"Let me see."
Yi Bin didn't move.
"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, this belongs to Second Young Master."
Xu Yini frowned and raised her voice:
"It's just a book. I've been to Lu's study, and now I'm not even qualified to read his book?"
She was originally a young lady with a temper, but she restrained herself only in front of Lu Huaiyu.
Now Lu Huaiyu went to the wine cellar, facing Yi Bin, she naturally felt welcome.
First she was rejected by Lu Huaiyu, but now even a little special assistant dares to talk to her like that
Yi Bin frowned slightly.
"Miss Xu, you can wait—"
Without further ado, Xu Yini reached out and snatched the bag.
She took out the book directly.
"I want to see, what kind of book is this—"
"Xu Yini."
A cold voice suddenly came.
Lu Huai and just came out of the wine cellar and returned to the hall, and saw this scene.
Xu Yini raised her head subconsciously, and saw that Lu Huaiyu was looking at her with extremely cold eyes.
"What are you doing."
She shuddered inexplicably.
Everyone noticed that Lu Huaiyu was angry.
The scene was dead silent.
But the more so, the more uncomfortable Xu Yini felt.
Alcohol magnified her emotions, and all the grievances and discomforts she had suffered before came to her heart now.
Just a book!
But a book!
He just loves it! ? Even in front of so many people, she gave her a face!
Impulsively, Xu Yini continued to take out the book.
She used force with one hand, the paper bag was torn, and the book inside fell out.
"Boom" sound.
The heavy "A Brief History of Time" fell to the floor.
At the same time, a hand-painted sheet inside fell lightly.
The boy on the paper has short hair covering his eyes, and his back is cold and arrogant.
