There were three or four rows of luxurious welcoming decorations at the entrance of the International Hotel.
All of them were extravagant displays promoting the names of the celebrities who had participated in the charity this time. The red background and gold characters were incomparably luxurious. The banquet was vigorous, and the hotel entrance was dazzling. The lights inside shone brilliantly on the outside.
Many upper-class ladies and socialites carried small bags in their hands and walked beside men in suits and leather shoes. Occasionally, they would cover their mouths and chuckle when they said something.
A Rolls-Royce was parked directly in front of the red carpet at the entrance of the hotel. A shiny leather shoe stepped out from the driver's seat. The man walked out with a faint smile on his handsome face, and his gold-rimmed glasses flashed with a faint, cold light.
The driver politely stepped forward and bowed to take the car keys.
The socialites who were still standing at the entrance of the hotel and chatting with each other suddenly turned their heads and looked at the man with indescribable passion and anticipation.
"Oh my god, President Xiao's face is really getting more and more handsome. I think he's even better looking than when I saw him on TV …"
"Did he come alone today? If he's alone, maybe I'll also … "
"You don't have the right. Don't you see how many people are standing in the room who want to climb into his bed? Hey, do you know that a few days ago, I heard that someone called Sally, who has been with President Xiao for a month, can't do it anymore. President Xiao directly rejected her."
"Ah? I saw her at a cocktail party a few days ago. She's really pretty, but she's a little hot-tempered. If President Xiao doesn't support her from behind, who will give her face in the future? "
"Then isn't President Xiao now …"
As the women whispered, they all had charming smiles on their faces, as if imagining that Xiao Chuyun was currently free, and they could take advantage of it. However, then Xiao Chuyun walked around the front of the car, and the person who got out of the front passenger seat directly stunned them.
"So high-profile?" Jiang Yansheng took off her sunglasses, revealing a delicate palm-shaped face. The black backless evening gown that reached the floor made her skin look even fairer.
She glanced at the frightened woman not far away and smiled. "Look at you. You've scared the daydreaming women to death."
Xiao Chuyun shrugged and put his hand in front of Jiang Yansheng like a gentleman. "Breaking their dreams at the right time is a time-saver for me."
Jiang Yansheng gently pushed the man's hand away.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and got out of the car. "Mr. Xiao, you don't have to think about me. After all, I have all four limbs. I don't have any disabilities."
Xiao Chuyun's smile was warm this time. He didn't feel awkward when he retracted his hand. Instead, he was in a good mood. "But Miss Jiang is so beautiful today. I can't help but want to protect her."
"Is that so? Since he was in a hurry, he casually took one. I thought Mr. Xiao would be angry because I refused to buy a new evening gown with you. "Jiang Yansheng frowned. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but Xiao Chuyun's words were getting more and more explicit.
This man's personality was inexplicable. The more he couldn't get something, the more eager he was to get it.
"Why would you be angry?" Xiao Chuyun pushed his glasses up. "You make it sound like I have a bad temper."
Jiang Yansheng rolled her eyes.
It was as if he wasn't the one who had been angry because she had stood him up a few times.
She held Xiao Chuyun's shoulder and leaned against him, trying to keep some distance between them.
When they passed by the women who were still frozen at the door, Jiang Yansheng nodded at them in a good mood.
The women immediately came back to their senses. Their first reaction wasn't to smile back or talk to them, but to look away awkwardly and pretend not to see them.
Jiang Yansheng blinked and tugged at Xiao Chuyun's clothes. "Where are your parents?"
Xiao Chuyun smiled. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I don't want to leave a bad impression." Jiang Yansheng's eyes swept across the spacious and bright banquet hall. "After all, it's rare to meet a good partner like Mr. Xiao. If I don't perform well and they replace me, what will happen to our contract?"
Although she sounded relaxed, Jiang Yansheng was inexplicably flustered.
She said that it was just an act to meet Xiao Chuyun's parents, but she felt a strong sense of guilt.
She looked around the hall and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no familiar people. She asked casually, "What party is this? There are so few people here, and I don't even know anyone's name. When did President Xiao come to such a shameful place? "
As if he could see through her, Xiao Chuyun said slowly, "Who is Miss Jiang looking for? Why don't you tell me?"
"Are you looking for your ex-husband?"
Jiang Yansheng originally didn't know what he was worried about, but after being reminded by Xiao Chuyun like this, the dark cloud-like emotions that were entangled in the bottom of his heart immediately had a clear outlet.
His brain exploded with a "boom".
Her face turned pale, but she quickly adjusted it to a perfect smile. "How could it be? If Mr. Xiao hadn't mentioned it just now, I almost couldn't remember who my ex-husband was. "
"Anyway, the wedding was just a formality. I haven't even seen him a few times. Why would I look for him?"
"That's good." Xiao Chuyun looked away from Jiang Yansheng's face. "The way Gu Yan looked at you last time didn't look like a stranger who had just seen you a few times."
Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Yansheng's back. "That should be because Mr. Xiao has bad eyesight."
She pulled Xiao Chuyun to the table where the drinks were placed and tried to change the topic. "It seems that the banquet is not bad. I saw dessert just now, but I didn't eat much tonight. Let's go get some."
"Excuse me!"
Jiang Yansheng wasn't paying attention when she walked, and she was hit by a waiter who was running in a hurry with a plate in his hand.
Her high heels were very thin, and she lost her balance. When she fell back, she directly fell into Xiao Chuyun's arms.
"Why didn't you watch where you were going?" Xiao Chuyun's helpless voice came from above her head.
The waiter, who accidentally hit someone, turned pale. He quickly put the plate in his hand aside, bowed his head, and apologized. The 1.8-meter-tall man's eyes turned red quickly. Those who didn't know better would think that Jiang Yansheng had just scolded him.
"It's okay. You can go first."
Jiang Yansheng felt extremely embarrassed. She quickly stabilized her center of gravity and waved at the waiter. She wasn't going to argue.
She struggled to get out of Xiao Chuyun's arms. There was no redness on her face, only a thin layer of sweat from her exertion.
She didn't know what she was holding, but there was a crisp sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
Jiang Yansheng stared at the dark striped tie in her hand and was in a daze for a long time.
At the same time, Xiao Chuyun's originally neat and strict neckline also had a huge opening, revealing a small half of his honey-colored chest, which revealed ambiguous and indistinct traces. At a glance, it was obvious that he had spent an intense night.
The button almost burst. Xiao Chuyun quickly grabbed the collar, so the scene just now only flashed in front of Jiang Yansheng's eyes.
"Miss Jiang is quite strong."
Jiang Yansheng's lips trembled. She quickly stuffed the tie into Xiao Chuyun's hand.
After this episode, she felt that the awkward atmosphere between the two of them had eased a lot. Jiang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief and was still in the mood to mock Xiao Chuyun.
"Mr. Xiao called and said that he was going to quit sex. How did he leave so many marks on his body in the blink of an eye? It seems that he is also a very possessive person. "
Xiao Chuyun raised his eyebrows. "Can't you tell that this was done half a week ago?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled sarcastically. "I really can't tell. Those who don't know would think that Mr. Xiao fought with a dog for 300 rounds. This kind of strength makes my heart ache."
Xiao Chuyun pushed the tie back to Jiang Yansheng. She threw it back in disgust.
"Why did you give it to me? I accidentally pulled it off just now. You can tie it yourself. I don't know how to. "
Xiao Chuyun stuffed the tie back to her. "I don't know how to either."
"You can't let me attend the banquet like this, right? I haven't seen my parents yet. "
Jiang Yansheng pursed her lips and corrected him calmly. "It's uncle and aunt, not my parents."
Xiao Chuyun suddenly lowered his head and smiled. "Jiang Yansheng, why are you so cute?"
Her eyes widened. She felt that Xiao Chuyun was simply unreasonable. His inexplicable actions and words were like a fountain.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Is Mr. Xiao's filter too thick? Do you want a waiter who knows how to wear a tie to take care of you? Anyway, I don't know how to … "
Xiao Chuyun pinched the tie and put it into Jiang Yansheng's palm. Then, he gently put it on the back of her hand.
"It's okay. You just need to walk around. You don't need to find a waiter."
The man's voice was low, as if it had a hook to tempt her.
Jiang Yansheng shook off his hand and muttered while grabbing Xiao Chuyun's collar. "Stand closer."
She closed her eyes, and the scene of her and Gu Yan tying a tie on the sofa suddenly appeared in her mind.
At that time, because of Gu Yan's interference, it took her more than an hour to learn a few simple steps.
But now, she could clearly recall every step.
Xiao Chuyun looked down at the woman's white and slender fingers nimbly tying a knot in front of his chest. Her agile movements were completely different from the clumsy woman at the award ceremony last time.
When Jiang Yansheng finally pulled the tie out of the knot, Xiao Chuyun suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Who taught you that?" There was no warmth in Xiao Chuyun's eyes behind the glasses.
Jiang Yansheng shook off Xiao Chuyun's hand as if it was scalding hot.
"It's none of your business. I learned it online."
"I helped you. Why do I feel that you are so eager to cut ties with me?" Xiao Chuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Jiang Yansheng patted the hem of her dress that had been swept to the ground. "Why do you think so, Mr. Xiao? I just feel that many people around us are a little embarrassed. It's not that I don't respect Mr. Xiao. "
