Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

An empty space automatically opened up beside Cheng Lang and Xing Shu. No one dared to cross it. Everyone was dying to know what their relationship was.

When Cheng Xingyang saw Xing Shu and Cheng Lang appear together, he instantly thought of when he went to Xing Shu l s apartment yesterday and saw Xing Shu going downstairs with Cheng Lang. He did not dare to think too much. Even at this moment, he did not dare to think too much. He gripped the wine glass in his hand tightly, and the panic in his chest magnified infinitely.

Everyone was still discussing, but their voices were very low. “Is that Xing Shu beside President Cheng?”

“Isn’t President Cheng a germaphobe? He doesn’t like to get too close to others.

Why would he come here with Xing Shu?”

“Xing Shu doesn’t show her face often, but she’s got a really seductive face.”

In the past, Xing Shu did not attend social events and rarely put on makeup. Although she only put on light makeup tonight, it was enough for her to outshine all the women present. The faces of the Xing family members darkened. They especially changed into elegant music when Xing Linlin went downstairs. In the end, Xing Shu stole the limelight when Xing Linlin was only halfway down the stairs.

Wu Minxia’s countenance was very grim, especially when she saw that Xing Linlin was still standing in the middle of the stairs.

Xing Linlin stood there for a while and could not take it anymore. She came down the stairs in a sorry state and walked past the crowd to Cheng Lang. “President Cheng and Xing Shu appeared together. Did you run into each other at the door?” Her question was very skillful. She deliberately blurred the possibility that Xing Shu might be Cheng Langs date so that everyone would think that they met at the door and came in together. However, this would only work if Cheng Lang cooperated with her.

However, Cheng Lang did not even look at Xing Linlin as he continued to talk to Xing Shu “Have you booked the plane tickets for your business trip? Did you find a suitable company?

She did not expect Cheng Lang to be discussing work with Xing Shu at such an occasion. It was not really very strange, but there was a hint of subtlety.

Xing Shu was very satisfied with Cheng Lang ignoring Xing Linlin. The corners of her lips curled up. “I’ve indeed taken a fancy to a company, but I still have to make a trip in person to check it out.” She and Cheng Lang chatted as if no one was around. Neither of them paid any heed to Xing Linlin. The atmosphere between them was too harmonious. Those who stood slightly closer even breathed softly.

Xing Linlin held her wine glass and raised her neck slightly. After not getting Cheng Lang’s reply, she could no longer maintain her noble posture. She was at a loss. When she felt the gazes of the people around her, she felt her face burning. It was too embarrassing and awkward. Cheng Lang actually slighted her so openly? Why? Wasn’ t she beautiful? Cheng Xingyang and Xing Zewu both liked her. Cheng Xingyang even chose her between her and Xing Shu. Wasn’t this enough to prove that she was more charming than Xing Shu?

Xing Linlin was very upset, but she knew that she had to put up with this awkwardness. The Xing family also felt awkward and embarrassed that Xing Linlin had rashly gone up to greet Cheng Lang. Wu Minxia quickly stood up to smooth things over. “Mr. Cheng, thank you for coming to the Xing family’s banquet tonight. Thank you for taking care of Xing Shu in Cheng Corporation Group.”

Wu Minxia had lived more than 20 years longer than Xing Linlin, so she had a better way with words. Cheng Lang only raised his eyelids slightly and gave a faint acknowledgement indifferently.

Wu Minxia heaved a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Xing Linlin to the side. Xing Linlin’s chest felt like it was about to explode, and her teeth were about to bite her lips until they bled. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to interact with Cheng Lang. But when she finally had the chance, she lost so miserably. At the same time, flames of war burned in her heart. One day, she wanted Cheng Lang to only have her in his eyes!

When everyone saw how Wu Minxia and Xing Linlin got the cold shoulder from Cheng Lang, they did not dare to go up to him and ask for trouble.

Xing Shu casually took the wine from the waiter. After taking a sip, she rubbed the rim of the glass with her fingertips. After she and Nie Xi finished getting ready, she was about to get into the car when she saw Cheng Lang waiting outside. The moonlight was gentle as he sat quietly in the back of the car. The window was rolled down, revealing his beautiful jawline.

It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. Xing Shu did not expect

Cheng Lang to really be willing to accompany her to the Xing familys banquet. Nie Xi reacted quickly and pushed Xing Shu into Cheng Zhenlangs car. She gave him a few reminders before leaving.

Along the way, Xing Shu had too many questions to ask. But she did not dare to ask, afraid that she was thinking too much..
