The Xiao Family in Lin Cheng and the Mo Family in Hai City (4)
Ji Nuan walked through in the crowd. Although her short skirt had to be altered because of that bit of ketchup and no longer looked dignified and elegant, with her pretty face, she showed a different kind of beauty with the altered dress.
Over the years, she had always known how to bring out the best of her beauty. The more someone tried to set her up, the more confident and graceful her posture became.
Ji Mengran hatefully stared at her, only to see that when Ji Nuan appeared, almost all the men's eyes followed her. Seeing Ji Nuan have no male companion, men scrambled to be her male companion.
In the eyes of the other women, Ji Nuan made them jealous, whereas, in the men's eyes, it was a noble and elegant woman passing by a group of men, saying politely "hello, " "excuse me, " or "bye, " and ignoring the love and desire in men's eyes. She, fair-skinned, was in a red dress. Her face was so stunningly beautiful, but her look was so cold that no one could get close to her.
Xiao Luye thought he would see a little woman lost and looking for him everywhere in a panic. However, when he came out, he saw Ji Nuan chatting with others confidently and happily.
He looked thoughtfully at the woman who seemed to have grown a lot in the past three years. He walked over after gazing at her for a moment."My dear female companion, you've been wandering here for quite a while. How do you feel?"
"I almost forget about you, CEO Xiao." Ji Nuan looked back at him and cracked a smile. Obviously, she didn't mind whether he was around or not.
Xiao Luye came straight to the point and said seriously, "My father wants to see you. Come with me."
His father?
Mr. Xiao Zhenjun, who was celebrating his 50th birthday today?
Did he want to see her?
Ji Nuan didn't speak but blinked as if asking him why.
"We invited you here, so we can't kill and dismember you, isn't it? There are surveillance cameras everywhere. You don't have to worry about your safety."
Ji Nuan pondered for a moment. Of course, she didn't worry about her safety. She just didn't know what the Xiao family wanted to do.
Xiao Luye was already difficult enough to deal with, so what kind of a person is his father?
"Please." Xiao Luye made a very gentlemanly gesture.
Ji Nuan didn't speak anymore. Since the chairman of the Ling Xiao Group invited her, she had no reason to refuse. After all, the Ling Xiao Group was much more powerful than the MN Group.
She followed Xiao Luye and walked past the bustling crowd when Xiao Luye suddenly stopped and cast a sideways glance at the man beside him, saying with a smile, "CEO Mo, it's a beautiful night, isn't it? Have fun."
Ji Nuan turned her eyes, only to see Mo Jingshen's breathtakingly handsome face.
The black shirt enveloped the man's slender, straight legs and perfectly lined body, without a trace of wrinkles. Countless women would scream for him.
He lifted his eyelids, and his indifferent eyes swept over them and rested on Ji Nuan's face.
His eyes were as placid as ever as if Ji Nuan hadn't just said that he was dead. His handsome face remained expressionless, but his eyes were unfathomable. He stood there, and his voice was low and clear."It's not important whether I have fun or not, but I'm afraid the one who CEO Xiao is taking her to see won't make her happy."
Ji Nuan frowned.
How did Mo Jingshen know? How did he know Xiao Luye was going to take her to meet someone? Why did she suddenly have a hunch that he knew why Xiao Luye invited her here tonight?
Just like three years ago, Mo Jingshen obviously knew a lot about Xiao Luye.
Seeing Ji Nuan lost in thought, Xiao Luye just smiled and looked back at her."Miss Ji, you're not really afraid to go in, are you? I'll just take you to see my father."
Ji Nuan said nothing, nor did she look at the two men again, but went in.
She stopped at the door of the inner lounge.
"Although I know I shouldn't be so self-loving, I'd like to ask whether Mr. Xiao wants to see me because he wants me to be his daughter-in-law?" Ji Nuan had been thinking a lot about what he had said, and suddenly she blurted out this sentence.
Not expecting her to walk so quickly, Xiao Luye just caught up with her. Hearing her words, Xiao Luye sneered."Even if he is such a dotard, I'm afraid I won't marry you."
"Yes, I guess so. After all, CEO Xiao has been chasing Miss Shi for many years. Everyone knows how persistent you're about the rabbit you can't get. It's just an excuse that you said you would catch a random rabbit to replace her, isn't it? In fact, you have no interest in other women." Ji Nuan cast a meaningful glance at him.
When Xiao Luye heard her mention Shi Niange, the smile on his face was no longer sincere. He looked at her darkly."I advise you not to poke your nose into what isn't your business."
"I'm not. I just like touching your sore spot." Ji Nuan smiled and winked at him.
Xiao Luye cast a cold stare at her and said flatly before opening the door."Even if I'm willing to marry you, it's not ethically allowed. You think too much."
Ji Nuan took a look at him again.
What did that have to do with ethics?
The door had been opened, and she saw the lounge was very quiet and only a few staff were accompanying Mr. Xiao Zhenjun. There were a lot of bouquets in the lounge, which were sent in advance by the people who had come to celebrate Mr. Xiao's birthday today.
Hearing the door opened, Mr. Xiao Zhenjun suddenly turned his eyes to her. Although this man was in his fifties, he was handsome, and from his temperament and figure, he looked like forty-something. It could be seen that although Mr. Xiao was old, he must be working out regularly and took very good care of himself. Although he was the same age as her father, Ji Hongwen, he was obviously healthier than his father.
"There you are."
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Ji Nuan."
Mr. Xiao gazed at her for a moment, then at her dress and suddenly laughed."Nice design. Did you alter it by yourself?"
Ji Nuan didn't deny but said frankly, "I accidentally smeared my skirt in the dressing room just now, so I altered the hem of the skirt. I hope this hasty behavior won't offend you, Mr. Xia."
"Of course not. Miss Ji, you're young, beautiful, and calm when things go wrong. I've been watching you since you got on this ship. I can see that you are an excellent girl."
The smile on Ji Nuan's face faded away when she heard his words.
Had he been watching her since she got on this ship?
