Bencheng star hotel.
Luxurious banquet hall.
An extravagant birthday party is underway.
Elegant and soothing Bach music is cruising in the banquet hall, and the well-dressed upper-class people are in groups of threes and twos.
The young waiter is carrying the fragrant and fragrant wine, walking around and pouring wine for the guests.
After a round of work, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief, dragged the plate and turned around, intending to go back to the back kitchen, but bumped into someone.
The other party was stumbled half a step by his sudden turn, and barely stood still by holding on to the dining table.
The waiter looked terrified, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize: "Yes, I'm sorry!"
The guests at this banquet were either rich or expensive, and it was hard for him to get the job of serving as a waiter. Once the offender was fired, he couldn't afford the high medical expenses for his sick father.
The young waiter was terrified, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to look up.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
The voice in my ears was clear and warm, like a stream melting snow in spring, gurgling and flowing in the twilight, melodious and comforting.
The waiter unconsciously slowed down and raised his head slightly.
The young man in front of him was very handsome, with beautiful facial features, light brows and eyes, dressed in a light white and crisp haute couture suit, with an exquisite flying bird brooch pinned to the edge of his clothes.
The waiter thought in his heart, who is this person? He looks so good-looking, like a movie star.
At this time, an old and thick voice came.
"Xiao Ning."
The waiter stepped back sideways.
Elder Ji walked towards Qin Ning slowly with a cane.
As always, he was hale and hearty, with a serious face, but when he looked at Qin Ning, his eyes were kind and his face was full of smiles.
Elder Ji looked around, frowned and asked, "Where is that bastard Ji Yingxian? I asked him to accompany you in, where is he?"
Qin Ning said: "I met Uncle Ji when I entered the door, and let him go to work on other things."
Old Master Ji looked very worried, obviously unhappy that Ji Yingxian didn't send someone to him.
At this moment, Qin Ning covered her lips and coughed lightly.
To ensure ventilation, the two windows at the entrance of the banquet hall were kept open.
Qin Ning happened to be standing in the wind, and the cold wind howled in. He covered his lips and coughed again and again, his pale face turned paler.
He was thin and thin, and he wore thin clothes. When he coughed, his whole body was broken, like a crumbling dead leaf on a branch in winter.
Mr. Ji obediently gave Qin Ning his back, and ordered the bodyguards behind him with a serious face.
"Close the window quickly."
The bodyguard immediately went to close the window.
Elder Ji asked people to pour warm water to get his coat again. After a while, he took the water poured by the bodyguard, handed it to Qin Ning, and put a thick cotton coat on Qin Ning.
Qin Ning took a few sips carefully and recovered.
Mr. Ji asked with concern: "How is it, is it better?"
Qin Ning nodded, "Well, it's much better."
Mr. Ji heaved a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Assistant Liu arrived late, and he adjusted his glasses.
"Ji Dong."
Mr. Ji glanced at him, "Where is Ji Yingxian?"
Assistant Liu said: "Mr. Ji is over there to greet the partners."
Mr. Ji was so angry that he slammed his cane hard, and cursed: "You son of a bitch."
He took a few deep breaths and pulled Qin Ning away.
"Xiao Ning, come with me."
When leaving, he also tapped Assistant Liu, indicating that he would follow.
The two walked to a warmer place, and Mr. Ji arranged for Qin Ning to sit in a secluded place.
Mr. Ji said, "Tell him if you feel uncomfortable."
Qin Ning glanced at Assistant Liu and nodded.
Mr. Ji had many guests today and needed to socialize. He made arrangements for Qin Ning and left.
Sitting in a quiet environment, Qin Ning also felt comfortable.
Within 2 minutes after he sat down, a person sat next to him.
"Bro."
Ji Yingxian communicated with the company's partners and analyzed the current market problems in an orderly manner, no one noticed that he glanced at the corner of his eyes.
Ji's father also participated in it, and talked freely. He had high expectations for the company, but only in China, while Ji Yingxian wanted to expand the market to foreign countries.
The two have always disagreed on this issue.
Recently, Ji Yingxian was recuperating in the hospital, and this issue was put on hold. At this time, Ji's father wanted to bring it to the table, but Ji Yingxian was a little absent-minded.
After the partner left, he went to another place to chat with the He family.
Ji's father looked at his son with displeasure. During the conversation, this boy frequently tilted his head. Is he dissatisfied with himself?
Father Ji is very angry.
"What are you looking at?"
Hearing Ji's father's sullen voice, Ji Yingxian turned his head unhurriedly, sipped the red wine in his glass, and frowned deeply.
"It's nothing."
When Ji's father saw that his eyes were full of displeasure, he was also very displeased.
"I say you--"
The conversation was normal, some guests came forward to chat enthusiastically, Ji's father looked a little pale, and turned to talk to people.
Ji Yingxian raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass, looking at the corner with heavy eyes, the emotion in the gray-blue pupils was obscure.
He took a long leg and was about to walk over.
Suddenly a person appeared in front of him, and Ji Yingxian looked down.
It's Mr. Ji.
Old Master Ji reprimanded him with a cold face, blaming him for leaving Qin Ning alone in the banquet hall.
Ji Yingxian turned a deaf ear to it, and looked straight past Mr. Ji, and fixed on the thin figure through the crowd of people.
Sitting next to Qin Ning was a young man, wearing a hooded sweater, handsome, with a bright smile, wearing black-rimmed glasses, like a college student.
The two of them didn't know what to say, Qin Ning lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and the young man also laughed.
Ji Yingxian's eyebrows gradually tightened, the corners of his mouth pressed down, and the aura around him changed slowly.
"Should be free."
Old Master Ji shouted in a deep voice.
Ji Yingxian narrowed his eyes suddenly, and looked down at the person in front of him.
Mr. Ji glared, "Did you hear what I said?"
Ji Yingxian said "hmm", not in a high mood.
He took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and licked the corners of his lips.
Mr. Ji said: "Before dinner, I will officially announce the dissolution of the engagement to the guests."
"Although there is no marriage contract between you in the future, Qin Ning is more or less your half brother. I hope you will respect him."
"elder brother?"
Mr. Ji asked back: "He is one year older than you, isn't he considered an elder brother?"
Ji Yingxian laughed inexplicably.
He put down the champagne glass and walked towards the secluded place over there.
Within two steps, he stopped suddenly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
There was another person beside Qin Ning.
Qin Ning was talking to Shen Jianxi about aerobic exercise when someone nearby called him.
"Qin Ning."
He looked up, and his gaze collided with a gaze.
He Linghan was wearing a dark suit, and looked at him sharply.
Qin Ning thought, why is he here?
Qin Ning has been confused by He Linghan's various operations recently.
First they gave piles of gifts, and then they smashed bank cards without money, and received a check.
But Qin Ning didn't take any money, and couldn't return it. All of it was donated to charity organizations or welfare homes in the name of He Linghan.
He Linghan didn't show his face in front of Qin Ning during this wave of operations. Li Wei ran back and forth on both sides the whole time, but his sense of presence was so strong that Qin Ning now suspects that he is sick.
Qin Ning couldn't avoid it, so he smiled politely and called "Mr. He".
He thought that after saying hello, the other party would walk away automatically.
After all, this birthday party, on the surface, is to celebrate Mr. Ji's birthday, but in fact, there are many people who have networked with them, and the He family should be among them.
However, He Ling coldly said "Mm", and sat down in the seat close to Qin Ning very naturally.
Qin Ning: "..."
Shen Jianxi glanced at him, and He Ling looked back coldly.
A very strange atmosphere spread around.
Qin Ning originally stayed here and felt good, but now he feels a little awkward.
Shen Jianxi was especially good at finding topics, which made him feel less uncomfortable, but now that He Linghan was walking by the icehouse and sitting next to him, and he didn't know each other well, no matter how he thought about it, he felt weird.
Qin Ning looked away, wanting to sit somewhere else.
He Linghan sat down silently, without saying a word, as quiet as a chicken, but he was tall, handsome, and the CEO of He's Enterprise, so it was hard for people not to notice him.
Qin Ning was clearly aware of the gazes from around him, and the gazes increased several times.
At this time, Shen Jianxi came closer and said, "Brother, I brought a new flavor of candy this time, without mint, do you want to try it?"
"sugar?"
Qin Ning hesitated.
Shen Jianxi has already handed over the candy, his eyes are very bright through the anti-blue light lenses, like a primary school student offering treasures to a good friend.
Qin Ning didn't have the nerve to refuse, took the candy, tore off the wrapper, and swallowed one.
The sweet and sour fruity aroma passes between the lips and teeth, the taste is sweet but not greasy, and the aftertaste is long.
Strawberry flavor.
Shen Jianxi analyzed Qin Ning's slight expression, judged that he liked it, and gave Qin Ning a few more.
"Brother, these are all for you."
Qin Ning didn't like sweets, but the kindness was hard to turn down, so she accepted them all.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Shen Jianxi also ate one and looked at Qin Ning with a smile.
"The strawberry flavor is not bad. It's a new flavor I found in the supermarket near my home."
"I think you should like it."
"Do you like candy?"
He Linghan next to him suddenly interrupted, and his intervention was abrupt.
Qin Ning and Shen Jianxi looked at him together.
He Linghan clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips with a light cough.
He said, "I'll just ask."
Qin Ning didn't say what he likes, but only said: "I rarely eat candy."
He Linghan made a "hmm" sound, and once again met Shen Jianxi who was beside Qin Ning.
Shen Jianxi smiled politely, looking very indifferent, completely different from the smile on Qin Ning.
He Linghan narrowed his eyes to look at him, his expression worried.
Qin Ning didn't notice that the two looked over his head and were looking down at the candy in his palm, looking at the ingredient list.
He is used to looking at the proportion of ingredients in food.
At this time, someone called out "Shen Jianxi" in a calm voice.
Qin Ning raised his eyes upon hearing the sound, and met Ji Yingxian's eyes.
He was stunned.
Ji Ying casually looked away, and called Shen Jianxi over in a cold voice.
Shen Jianxi smiled and said "See you later", waved to Qin Ning, then got up and walked towards Ji Yingxian.
Qin Ning was embarrassed and only He Linghan was left next to him. The next second, Father He came over and called He Linghan.
He Linghan remained motionless, "What's the matter?"
Father He: "The project that the Ji family didn't plan to cooperate with before has changed."
He Linghan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Father He's tone was a little happy, "That kid from the Ji family wants to talk to us about this project."
He Linghan was reluctant to leave, Father He urged him several times, but he reluctantly got up and left.
the other side.
Ji Yingxian and Shen Jianxi walked to a quiet place side by side.
Ji Yingxian glanced at him, "Did you drink?"
Shen Jianxi smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, you know I can't drink."
He can't drink, otherwise he can't predict the consequences.
"Just remember."
Seeing that he said something unimportant, Shen Jianxi was planning to go back.
Ji Yingxian called him to stop again.
"Follow me and talk to the He family later, I need you to explain the principle."
Shen Jianxi glanced at Qin Ning, said "Oh", and followed Ji Yingxian.
There was no one around, so Qin Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a few sips from the warm water cup and found that the water was a bit cold, so he went to the waiter and asked him to pour some hot water for him.
I happened to meet the one who bumped into him earlier, and the other party was very active in helping.
Qin Ning quietly waited for him to come back.
At this time, Mr. Ji came to the center of the banquet hall with a cane.
All the guests looked at him at the same time. Most of the people present knew what he was going to say. Last month's dinner was similar to these people, but there were more familiar relatives.
Those who didn't know it were the relatives of Ji's family who came from other places to celebrate his birthday.
Mr. Ji raised his hand, and the music in the banquet hall stopped abruptly.
The hall was spacious, but there was no noise overall. When the music stopped, everyone stopped talking and focused on Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji thanked everyone for their birthday congratulations in a succinct manner, and finally talked about the marriage contract in a calm manner.
Qin Ning was in the banquet hall, so it was inevitable that someone would recognize her, so she couldn't help but look at her more carefully.
He regretted choosing this moment to stand up.
At this time, the wrist tightened.
Qin Ning raised his head in surprise, followed his arm, and saw Ji Yingxian.
Ji Yingxian's expression was unnatural for a moment.
Qin Ning looked down, the palm holding his wrist was very hot, like a piece of hot iron.
He subconsciously wanted to shake his hand.
But Ji Yingxian was very strong, so he couldn't break free.
Ji Yingxian didn't look at Qin Ning, he whispered, "The old man asked me to take you to the side."
There will inevitably be rumors and gossip about the dissolution of the engagement. It is better for Qin Ning to stay on the sidelines until Mr. Ji completely calms everyone's suspicion.
He didn't give Qin Ning time to struggle, grabbed his wrist, and gently led him to the previous position.
After Qin Ning was settled, Ji Yingxian stopped the waiter who brought the water and asked him to remove the chairs on Qin Ning's left and right sides.
Qin Ning: "?"
Ji Yingxian didn't leave a word of explanation, turned around and walked into the center of the banquet hall, standing beside Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji is talking about breaking off the engagement.
"My old man doesn't participate in the affairs of their young people. As for the marriage contract of the baby girl, it's just me and Lao Qin making fun of it for a while. Don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
"Please also give me a little bit of respect for Ji, and don't spread this stupid thing, otherwise the two of them will fall in love with each other in the future. As a grandfather, I can't tell."
There was a lot of ridicule in the banquet hall, and this matter was easily passed away.
The music played slowly, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed.
After dinner, Qin Ning took the elevator upstairs and went to the garden on the top floor to get some fresh air.
The temperature in the banquet hall was too high, and he was very hot wearing a coat, but considering his physical condition, he did not dare to reduce his clothes at will.
There were not many people in the garden on the top floor, and a small number of guests were drinking coffee in the garden. Qin Ning ordered a cup of hot drink and sat down in a quiet place.
For every four seats, there is a large outdoor umbrella.
It is snowing in the sky, reflecting the neon lights of the city, like gorgeous flying flowers scattered from the sky.
Qin Ning raised his hand to pick up a piece, and the snowflake was melted by the temperature of his palm, turning into a drop of water.
He looked at the whole city from a distance, feeling very disappointed for a moment.
It has been a month since I came through the book.
Qin Ning almost had to adapt to the life here. If the original owner was not in poor health, he should be happier.
"looking at what?"
Qin Ning turned around.
The tall, long-haired, beautiful young man was wearing sunglasses, leaning lazily on the umbrella post.
His curly hair was loose, and he was wearing more casual casual clothes with a slightly open neckline. There was a decorative iron plate in front of his body, with a string of English letters printed on it.
It was the man I met in the conservatory garden earlier.
The other party asked him if he wanted to sign.
Qin Ning has an impression.
Qin Ning glanced at the umbrella pillar and reminded: "Don't rely on it."
Beautiful young man: "?"
Before he could react, the outdoor umbrella fell to the ground with a "squeak", and the beautiful young man with long hair leaned on the outdoor umbrella directly.
Qin Ning: "..."
Beautiful youth: "..."
The eyes of the nearby guests were attracted by the loud noise, and they were all watching what happened.
The curious person took two steps in this direction.
The hotel waiter noticed the situation here, and quickly brought a few people over, put up the outdoor umbrella again, and specially made hot drinks for Qin Ning and the beautiful young man with long hair to appease them.
The beautiful young man with long hair took it in a little embarrassment, and thanked him.
Qin Ning also reached out to take the hot drink and thanked the waiter.
The waiter was about to leave, but after looking at the beautiful young man with long hair, his expression gradually became excited as if he had discovered something by accident.
"You, you are, you are!"
She said "you are" several times, but didn't say her name.
The beautiful young man with long hair stretched out his slender knuckles and made a silent movement around his mouth.
"Keep quiet, okay?"
His voice has a kind of androgynous charm.
The waiter covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the screaming, his face was blushing, and he gestured helplessly.
She lowered her voice and stammered, "Lu, Lu Xiu, can I, I, I ask you for an autograph, or a photo with you?"
Qin Ning suddenly heard the word "Lu Xiu".
He froze for a few seconds, then turned to look at the beautiful young man with long hair sitting across from him.
The other party is taking pictures with the waiter.
When taking pictures, he took off his sunglasses, revealing his handsome face.
Lu Xiu.
He is the top actor in the original book called the smiling fox, Lu Xiu?
Qin Ning looked at his features and compared them with the original one.
Peach blossom eyes, long curly hair, handsome.
Qin Ning held the water glass and took a sip.
Confirm in your heart.
It was him, with obvious features.
After getting the group photo and signature, the waiter left happily.
Lu Xiu sat back on the single sofa and put on his sunglasses again.
He stared at Qin Ning through the lens.
Qin Ning didn't look at him, but turned to look at the neon lights in the distance and the traffic.
"Aren't you wondering why I'm here?"
Lu Xiu asked curiously.
Qin Ning said, "I don't know you."
He doesn't like dealing with foxes, who are cunning and easily troubled.
Lu Xiu: "..."
Guys, this is a topic stopper.
The corners of Lu Xiu's lips twitched slightly, and Tao Hua's eyes were full of interest.
He took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket. There were sporadic machine-embroidered red osmanthus in the lower left corner, small clusters, blooming on the clean and tidy cotton fabric.
Qin Ning recognized the handkerchief, it was the one he had just bought and hadn't used yet.
Lu Xiu looked at Qin Ning with interest.
"You gave it to me, remember?"
Qin Ning looked straight at her, "What do you want to say?"
The smile on Lu Xiu's lips deepened, and he stretched out his hand, "Make friends."
Qin Ning didn't reach out, but looked at Lu Xiu with good eyes.
His black pupils were clean and clear, like a clear pond, without any emotions.
Lu Xiu took off his sunglasses silently, and when he stared at someone with beautiful and deep peach blossom eyes, it seemed to be full of unspeakable affection.
These are very beautiful eyes.
Qin Ning said, "Of course we get to know each other well, we can become friends."
He dismissed the words lightly.
Lu Xiu chuckled, "You're very interesting."
After few people knew he was Lu Xiu, they refused to approach him.
He is interesting.
Qin Ning originally wanted to breathe alone, but now that he was disturbed by others, he didn't stay for long, so he got up and left without looking back.
He gradually disappeared among the dense green leaves.
Lu Xiu lowered his head, looked at the snow-white handkerchief in his hand, and couldn't help smiling.
Qin Ning came out of the garden and walked towards the elevator.
He turned his head and saw a tall man helping the unconscious young man around the corner and walking towards the room, and behind them was a fat middle-aged man with big ears.
The middle-aged man smelled the young man's hair obscenely, muttering "it smells so good".
Qin Ning was not far from the three of them, and could clearly hear the two words said by the other party.
When her eyes fell on something, Qin Ning paused for a moment.
A retractable crutch was hung on the young man's wrist, a retractable crutch that Qin Ning was very familiar with.
He had seen the retractable crutch unfolded before.
It's warm words.
Qin Ning narrowed his eyes and followed immediately.
While catching up, he used his mobile phone to call the police and the hotel security number.
When going upstairs alone, he considered all unsafe factors, and specially prepared the security contact information, just in case, but he did not expect to use it.
After dialing the phone, he explained the situation concisely, provided powerful information to the other party, and hung up the phone.
Qin Ning didn't dare to chase too closely.
There are two people on the other side, he can't deal with it alone, he can only outwit him.
After the two entered the hotel room, Qin Ning wrote down the house number and sent it to the security personnel.
After he finished his work, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a plot in the original book.
In the original book, it was the male protagonist Ji Yingxian who parachuted into the hotel, subdued the wretched man, and rescued the official partner Wenci.
But it seems that the time and place are different from the present.
Calculating carefully, it seems to be a year in advance.
Qin Ning didn't care about that much, he didn't want to spoil the main plot, but also wanted to save Wenci, so he immediately contacted Ji Yingxian, hoping that the hero would complete the mission.
However, Qin Ning called several times, but no one answered.
Roof garden.
Lu Xiu got up to leave, but saw Ji Yingxian coming from another place.
When he saw Lu Xiu, he was stunned for a moment, and came straight over.
Ji Yingxian took his seat, and sat face to face with Lu Xiu on each side.
The two sat in silence for a moment.
The waiter brought Ji Yingxian some champagne, Ji Yingxian took it and drank lightly.
Lu Xiu watched him finish his drink slowly, and ordered another.
He leaned back slightly, leaning on the soft fabric sofa, looking at Ji Yingxian.
"President Xiao Ji, I don't think you are very happy about the termination of the engagement. Do you regret it?"
Lu Xiu looked straight at Ji Yingxian with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if he wanted to capture all his emotions.
Ji Yingxian lowered his eyelashes, covering his eyes.
"regret?"
He swirled the light gold champagne in the glass, "Why would I regret it? I'm not interested in him."
Lu Xiu sat up straighter, and asked in a serious tone, "Are you sure you don't regret it, are you sure you don't like it?"
Ji Yingxian paused for a moment, and frowned at his blunt and urgent question.
Lu Xiu raised his head slightly, looked at the dark sky, seemed to think of something, raised his lips and smiled.
"I'm very interested in him, since you don't like him, then I..."
"Want to try."
Luxurious banquet hall.
An extravagant birthday party is underway.
Elegant and soothing Bach music is cruising in the banquet hall, and the well-dressed upper-class people are in groups of threes and twos.
The young waiter is carrying the fragrant and fragrant wine, walking around and pouring wine for the guests.

The young waiter was terrified, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to look up.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
The voice in my ears was clear and warm, like a stream melting snow in spring, gurgling and flowing in the twilight, melodious and comforting.
The waiter unconsciously slowed down and raised his head slightly.
The young man in front of him was very handsome, with beautiful facial features, light brows and eyes, dressed in a light white and crisp haute couture suit, with an exquisite flying bird brooch pinned to the edge of his clothes.
The waiter thought in his heart, who is this person? He looks so good-looking, like a movie star.
At this time, an old and thick voice came.

Elder Ji walked towards Qin Ning slowly with a cane.

To ensure ventilation, the two windows at the entrance of the banquet hall were kept open.

Qin Ning took a few sips carefully and recovered.
Mr. Ji asked with concern: "How is it, is it better?"
Qin Ning nodded, "Well, it's much better."
Mr. Ji heaved a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Assistant Liu arrived late, and he adjusted his glasses.
"Ji Dong."
Mr. Ji glanced at him, "Where is Ji Yingxian?"
Assistant Liu said: "Mr. Ji is over there to greet the partners."
Mr. Ji was so angry that he slammed his cane hard, and cursed: "You son of a bitch."
He took a few deep breaths and pulled Qin Ning away.
"Xiao Ning, come with me."
When leaving, he also tapped Assistant Liu, indicating that he would follow.
The two walked to a warmer place, and Mr. Ji arranged for Qin Ning to sit in a secluded place.

When Ji's father saw that his eyes were full of displeasure, he was also very displeased.
"I say you--"
The conversation was normal, some guests came forward to chat enthusiastically, Ji's father looked a little pale, and turned to talk to people.
Ji Yingxian raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass, looking at the corner with heavy eyes, the emotion in the gray-blue pupils was obscure.
He took a long leg and was about to walk over.

Shen Jianxi was especially good at finding topics, which made him feel less uncomfortable, but now that He Linghan was walking by the icehouse and sitting next to him, and he didn't know each other well, no matter how he thought about it, he felt weird.
Qin Ning looked away, wanting to sit somewhere else.
He Linghan sat down silently, without saying a word, as quiet as a chicken, but he was tall, handsome, and the CEO of He's Enterprise, so it was hard for people not to notice him.
Qin Ning was clearly aware of the gazes from around him, and the gazes increased several times.
At this time, Shen Jianxi came closer and said, "Brother, I brought a new flavor of candy this time, without mint, do you want to try it?"
"sugar?"
Qin Ning hesitated.
Shen Jianxi has already handed over the candy, his eyes are very bright through the anti-blue light lenses, like a primary school student offering treasures to a good friend.
Qin Ning didn't have the nerve to refuse, took the candy, tore off the wrapper, and swallowed one.
The sweet and sour fruity aroma passes between the lips and teeth, the taste is sweet but not greasy, and the aftertaste is long.
Strawberry flavor.
Shen Jianxi analyzed Qin Ning's slight expression, judged that he liked it, and gave Qin Ning a few more.
"Brother, these are all for you."
Qin Ning didn't like sweets, but the kindness was hard to turn down, so she accepted them all.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Shen Jianxi also ate one and looked at Qin Ning with a smile.
"The strawberry flavor is not bad. It's a new flavor I found in the supermarket near my home."
"I think you should like it."
"Do you like candy?"
He Linghan next to him suddenly interrupted, and his intervention was abrupt.
Qin Ning and Shen Jianxi looked at him together.
He Linghan clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips with a light cough.
He said, "I'll just ask."
Qin Ning didn't say what he likes, but only said: "I rarely eat candy."
He Linghan made a "hmm" sound, and once again met Shen Jianxi who was beside Qin Ning.
Shen Jianxi smiled politely, looking very indifferent, completely different from the smile on Qin Ning.
He Linghan narrowed his eyes to look at him, his expression worried.
Qin Ning didn't notice that the two looked over his head and were looking down at the candy in his palm, looking at the ingredient list.
He is used to looking at the proportion of ingredients in food.
At this time, someone called out "Shen Jianxi" in a calm voice.
Qin Ning raised his eyes upon hearing the sound, and met Ji Yingxian's eyes.
He was stunned.
Ji Ying casually looked away, and called Shen Jianxi over in a cold voice.
Shen Jianxi smiled and said "See you later", waved to Qin Ning, then got up and walked towards Ji Yingxian.
Qin Ning was embarrassed and only He Linghan was left next to him. The next second, Father He came over and called He Linghan.
He Linghan remained motionless, "What's the matter?"
Father He: "The project that the Ji family didn't plan to cooperate with before has changed."
He Linghan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Father He's tone was a little happy, "That kid from the Ji family wants to talk to us about this project."
He Linghan was reluctant to leave, Father He urged him several times, but he reluctantly got up and left.
the other side.
Ji Yingxian and Shen Jianxi walked to a quiet place side by side.
Ji Yingxian glanced at him, "Did you drink?"
Shen Jianxi smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, you know I can't drink."
He can't drink, otherwise he can't predict the consequences.
"Just remember."
Seeing that he said something unimportant, Shen Jianxi was planning to go back.
Ji Yingxian called him to stop again.
"Follow me and talk to the He family later, I need you to explain the principle."
Shen Jianxi glanced at Qin Ning, said "Oh", and followed Ji Yingxian.
There was no one around, so Qin Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a few sips from the warm water cup and found that the water was a bit cold, so he went to the waiter and asked him to pour some hot water for him.
I happened to meet the one who bumped into him earlier, and the other party was very active in helping.
Qin Ning quietly waited for him to come back.
At this time, Mr. Ji came to the center of the banquet hall with a cane.
All the guests looked at him at the same time. Most of the people present knew what he was going to say. Last month's dinner was similar to these people, but there were more familiar relatives.
Those who didn't know it were the relatives of Ji's family who came from other places to celebrate his birthday.
Mr. Ji raised his hand, and the music in the banquet hall stopped abruptly.
The hall was spacious, but there was no noise overall. When the music stopped, everyone stopped talking and focused on Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji thanked everyone for their birthday congratulations in a succinct manner, and finally talked about the marriage contract in a calm manner.
Qin Ning was in the banquet hall, so it was inevitable that someone would recognize her, so she couldn't help but look at her more carefully.
He regretted choosing this moment to stand up.
At this time, the wrist tightened.
Qin Ning raised his head in surprise, followed his arm, and saw Ji Yingxian.
Ji Yingxian's expression was unnatural for a moment.
Qin Ning looked down, the palm holding his wrist was very hot, like a piece of hot iron.
He subconsciously wanted to shake his hand.
But Ji Yingxian was very strong, so he couldn't break free.
Ji Yingxian didn't look at Qin Ning, he whispered, "The old man asked me to take you to the side."
There will inevitably be rumors and gossip about the dissolution of the engagement. It is better for Qin Ning to stay on the sidelines until Mr. Ji completely calms everyone's suspicion.
He didn't give Qin Ning time to struggle, grabbed his wrist, and gently led him to the previous position.
After Qin Ning was settled, Ji Yingxian stopped the waiter who brought the water and asked him to remove the chairs on Qin Ning's left and right sides.
Qin Ning: "?"
Ji Yingxian didn't leave a word of explanation, turned around and walked into the center of the banquet hall, standing beside Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji is talking about breaking off the engagement.
"My old man doesn't participate in the affairs of their young people. As for the marriage contract of the baby girl, it's just me and Lao Qin making fun of it for a while. Don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
"Please also give me a little bit of respect for Ji, and don't spread this stupid thing, otherwise the two of them will fall in love with each other in the future. As a grandfather, I can't tell."
There was a lot of ridicule in the banquet hall, and this matter was easily passed away.
The music played slowly, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed.
After dinner, Qin Ning took the elevator upstairs and went to the garden on the top floor to get some fresh air.
The temperature in the banquet hall was too high, and he was very hot wearing a coat, but considering his physical condition, he did not dare to reduce his clothes at will.
There were not many people in the garden on the top floor, and a small number of guests were drinking coffee in the garden. Qin Ning ordered a cup of hot drink and sat down in a quiet place.
For every four seats, there is a large outdoor umbrella.
It is snowing in the sky, reflecting the neon lights of the city, like gorgeous flying flowers scattered from the sky.
Qin Ning raised his hand to pick up a piece, and the snowflake was melted by the temperature of his palm, turning into a drop of water.
He looked at the whole city from a distance, feeling very disappointed for a moment.
It has been a month since I came through the book.
Qin Ning almost had to adapt to the life here. If the original owner was not in poor health, he should be happier.
"looking at what?"
Qin Ning turned around.
The tall, long-haired, beautiful young man was wearing sunglasses, leaning lazily on the umbrella post.
His curly hair was loose, and he was wearing more casual casual clothes with a slightly open neckline. There was a decorative iron plate in front of his body, with a string of English letters printed on it.
It was the man I met in the conservatory garden earlier.
The other party asked him if he wanted to sign.
Qin Ning has an impression.
Qin Ning glanced at the umbrella pillar and reminded: "Don't rely on it."
Beautiful young man: "?"
Before he could react, the outdoor umbrella fell to the ground with a "squeak", and the beautiful young man with long hair leaned on the outdoor umbrella directly.
Qin Ning: "..."
Beautiful youth: "..."
The eyes of the nearby guests were attracted by the loud noise, and they were all watching what happened.
The curious person took two steps in this direction.
The hotel waiter noticed the situation here, and quickly brought a few people over, put up the outdoor umbrella again, and specially made hot drinks for Qin Ning and the beautiful young man with long hair to appease them.
The beautiful young man with long hair took it in a little embarrassment, and thanked him.
Qin Ning also reached out to take the hot drink and thanked the waiter.
The waiter was about to leave, but after looking at the beautiful young man with long hair, his expression gradually became excited as if he had discovered something by accident.
"You, you are, you are!"
She said "you are" several times, but didn't say her name.
The beautiful young man with long hair stretched out his slender knuckles and made a silent movement around his mouth.
"Keep quiet, okay?"
His voice has a kind of androgynous charm.
The waiter covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the screaming, his face was blushing, and he gestured helplessly.
She lowered her voice and stammered, "Lu, Lu Xiu, can I, I, I ask you for an autograph, or a photo with you?"
Qin Ning suddenly heard the word "Lu Xiu".
He froze for a few seconds, then turned to look at the beautiful young man with long hair sitting across from him.
The other party is taking pictures with the waiter.
When taking pictures, he took off his sunglasses, revealing his handsome face.
Lu Xiu.
He is the top actor in the original book called the smiling fox, Lu Xiu?
Qin Ning looked at his features and compared them with the original one.
Peach blossom eyes, long curly hair, handsome.
Qin Ning held the water glass and took a sip.
Confirm in your heart.
It was him, with obvious features.
After getting the group photo and signature, the waiter left happily.
Lu Xiu sat back on the single sofa and put on his sunglasses again.
He stared at Qin Ning through the lens.
Qin Ning didn't look at him, but turned to look at the neon lights in the distance and the traffic.
"Aren't you wondering why I'm here?"
Lu Xiu asked curiously.
Qin Ning said, "I don't know you."
He doesn't like dealing with foxes, who are cunning and easily troubled.
Lu Xiu: "..."
Guys, this is a topic stopper.
The corners of Lu Xiu's lips twitched slightly, and Tao Hua's eyes were full of interest.
He took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket. There were sporadic machine-embroidered red osmanthus in the lower left corner, small clusters, blooming on the clean and tidy cotton fabric.
Qin Ning recognized the handkerchief, it was the one he had just bought and hadn't used yet.
Lu Xiu looked at Qin Ning with interest.
"You gave it to me, remember?"
Qin Ning looked straight at her, "What do you want to say?"
The smile on Lu Xiu's lips deepened, and he stretched out his hand, "Make friends."
Qin Ning didn't reach out, but looked at Lu Xiu with good eyes.
His black pupils were clean and clear, like a clear pond, without any emotions.
Lu Xiu took off his sunglasses silently, and when he stared at someone with beautiful and deep peach blossom eyes, it seemed to be full of unspeakable affection.
These are very beautiful eyes.
Qin Ning said, "Of course we get to know each other well, we can become friends."
He dismissed the words lightly.
Lu Xiu chuckled, "You're very interesting."
After few people knew he was Lu Xiu, they refused to approach him.
He is interesting.
Qin Ning originally wanted to breathe alone, but now that he was disturbed by others, he didn't stay for long, so he got up and left without looking back.
He gradually disappeared among the dense green leaves.
Lu Xiu lowered his head, looked at the snow-white handkerchief in his hand, and couldn't help smiling.
Qin Ning came out of the garden and walked towards the elevator.
He turned his head and saw a tall man helping the unconscious young man around the corner and walking towards the room, and behind them was a fat middle-aged man with big ears.
The middle-aged man smelled the young man's hair obscenely, muttering "it smells so good".
Qin Ning was not far from the three of them, and could clearly hear the two words said by the other party.
When her eyes fell on something, Qin Ning paused for a moment.
A retractable crutch was hung on the young man's wrist, a retractable crutch that Qin Ning was very familiar with.
He had seen the retractable crutch unfolded before.
It's warm words.
Qin Ning narrowed his eyes and followed immediately.
While catching up, he used his mobile phone to call the police and the hotel security number.
When going upstairs alone, he considered all unsafe factors, and specially prepared the security contact information, just in case, but he did not expect to use it.
After dialing the phone, he explained the situation concisely, provided powerful information to the other party, and hung up the phone.
Qin Ning didn't dare to chase too closely.
There are two people on the other side, he can't deal with it alone, he can only outwit him.
After the two entered the hotel room, Qin Ning wrote down the house number and sent it to the security personnel.
After he finished his work, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a plot in the original book.
In the original book, it was the male protagonist Ji Yingxian who parachuted into the hotel, subdued the wretched man, and rescued the official partner Wenci.
But it seems that the time and place are different from the present.
Calculating carefully, it seems to be a year in advance.
Qin Ning didn't care about that much, he didn't want to spoil the main plot, but also wanted to save Wenci, so he immediately contacted Ji Yingxian, hoping that the hero would complete the mission.
However, Qin Ning called several times, but no one answered.
Roof garden.
Lu Xiu got up to leave, but saw Ji Yingxian coming from another place.
When he saw Lu Xiu, he was stunned for a moment, and came straight over.
Ji Yingxian took his seat, and sat face to face with Lu Xiu on each side.
The two sat in silence for a moment.
The waiter brought Ji Yingxian some champagne, Ji Yingxian took it and drank lightly.
Lu Xiu watched him finish his drink slowly, and ordered another.
He leaned back slightly, leaning on the soft fabric sofa, looking at Ji Yingxian.
"President Xiao Ji, I don't think you are very happy about the termination of the engagement. Do you regret it?"
Lu Xiu looked straight at Ji Yingxian with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if he wanted to capture all his emotions.
Ji Yingxian lowered his eyelashes, covering his eyes.
"regret?"
He swirled the light gold champagne in the glass, "Why would I regret it? I'm not interested in him."
Lu Xiu sat up straighter, and asked in a serious tone, "Are you sure you don't regret it, are you sure you don't like it?"
Ji Yingxian paused for a moment, and frowned at his blunt and urgent question.
Lu Xiu raised his head slightly, looked at the dark sky, seemed to think of something, raised his lips and smiled.
"I'm very interested in him, since you don't like him, then I..."
"Want to try."
