The two people who had been rejected were confused for a moment.
Li Weixi was a weak girl who didn't know how to refuse others. They didn't know how to react when she suddenly became firm.
Robert wasn't someone who would force others to do something they didn't want to do. He admired Li Weixi's design and wanted to be friends with her. However, since she didn't like this method, he gave up.
After a few polite words, he found an excuse to leave.
Tom, who had been quietly listening to the last few words of their conversation, was keenly aware that Li Weixi's gaze shifted from time to time. He tilted his head slightly to look in that direction and suddenly understood. He laughed a little self-deprecatingly. "Looks like Xixi, you have someone to choose from. That's my fault for being rude. But this second dance, I wonder if you'd like to dance with me?"
"I think it's a little difficult." Li Weixi smiled apologetically and didn't intend to give in.
She didn't want to be punished by Lin Yi after a tiring day. Although she felt bad for rejecting Tom again and again, she was more afraid that Lin Yi would be angry.
After being rejected once again, Tom's expression became a little gloomy. His beautiful eyes were also affected by emotions. His clear pupils were like shattered glass, making people feel a little sad when they looked at him.
Li Weixi also felt bad in her heart. She didn't want his eyes to be affected by such emotions. In a hurry, she almost blurted out, "I'm sorry, I really can't dance with you this time. But Mr. Tom, you really helped me a lot with my design. How about I invite you to dinner in a few days as a thank you?"
"Really? I'm really looking forward to it. " The sadness in Tom's eyes seemed to be washed away by the sunshine in an instant. It was so dazzling, and his smile seemed to be full of vitality.
Li Weixi's heart couldn't help skipping a few beats. Even if Lin Yi was threatening her, she couldn't look away. His eyes seemed to have a kind of magic. They were really beautiful.
Tom, who had achieved his goal, did not pester Li Weixi anymore. After congratulating her, he turned to find his designer to express his condolences.
"Mr. Tom is so handsome and considerate to you. I don't think you don't like him at all. Why do you always reject him?" Roman leaned on the table and ate the cake. She said casually, "We're only going to stay here for a few more days. If you have any ideas, you'd better act quickly. Otherwise, you won't have a chance in the future."
"Sister Roman, don't talk nonsense. I don't have that kind of feeling towards him." Li Weixi blushed and bit her fingertips uncomfortably. "I'm just not good at interacting with men, so I feel a little awkward."
"Why haven't I seen you treat others like this before?" Roman tapped her forehead with a spoon and said mischievously, "Let me tell you, I'm experienced. If you like him, you have to act fast. Otherwise, it'll be too late for you to regret it."
"Thank you, Sister Roman, but I'm really just an ordinary friend to Mr. Tom. If I meet someone I like in the future, I'll work hard."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes. At this moment, the person who appeared in her mind was the overbearing man who was sometimes cold and sometimes hot to her.
This made her a little confused. Was she really in such a deep place? Could she really fight for it? Lin Yi was such a powerful person. He probably wouldn't like a little girl like her at all.
At this moment, she was very depressed. She was not in the mood to touch the cake that Roman handed to her.
Li Weixi didn't know when the ball started. She only knew that when she came back to her senses, the venue was very lively. Couples were dancing on the dance floor to the music.
She subconsciously looked for Lin Yi. When she didn't see him on the dance floor, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Roman, who was beside her just now, was also dancing with a young man. They looked like they were having a good time.
"That's Lu Luan, the son of the Shengshi Group, who will be cooperating with us this time."
Seeing that Li Weixi's attention was on Roman, Ji Xi explained indifferently. Her tone wasn't very good, and her lips were slightly pursed.
Did she know Lu Luan?
Li Weixi's intuition suddenly popped up. However, although she was very curious, she didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy. Therefore, she didn't reply and just nodded gently.
Roman seemed to have noticed Li Weixi's gaze. She glanced over and said something to Lu Luan. The two of them stopped dancing, walked out of the dance floor hand in hand, and walked towards Li Weixi and Ji Xi's table.
When they got closer, they could see that Roman's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Her face was also a little red from dancing. Standing beside Lu Luan, she, who had always been a domineering older sister, looked a little feminine.
She seemed to be in a good mood, and there was a faint smile on her lips. "Young Master Lu, this is Li Weixi. You came late, so you probably didn't see her on stage. You've seen the strength of our company at this design exhibition. I hope that in future collaborations, the Shengshi Group will believe that we can do better."
"Hello, Miss Li. On the way here, I heard that you represented the company and won first place. You're very impressive." Lu Luan smiled and stretched out his hand. "I hope to see Miss Li's better works in future collaborations."
Li Weixi gently shook Lu Luan's hand and responded with a smile, "We've been looking forward to collaborating with the Shengshi Group. Our company will definitely do our best to satisfy you."
"Then, may I have the honor of inviting Miss Li for a dance?"
"Ah, this …" Li Weixi carefully glanced at Ji Xi. Sure enough, she saw that her face had darkened. She couldn't help but feel a little heavy in her heart.
However, the person in front of her was the financial backer of their big project. If she rejected him, it wouldn't be easy to explain. For a moment, she was very conflicted. Her eyebrows were knitted together, and she tilted her head helplessly, thinking about what to do.
Her expression amused Lu Luan and made him want to tease the girl in front of him.
"Miss Li, do you think that I'm not qualified to dance with you?"
"Ah … of course not …"
The girl looked at Roman and Ji Xi helplessly. One of them was watching the show while the other had a cold expression. This made Li Weixi even more flustered.
"Then what is it? If there's no other reason, I'll assume that Miss Li is willing. Then, please? "
Lu Luan pressed on step by step. He looked at the girl with interest and stretched out his hand to invite her.
Li Weixi bit her finger and desperately hinted at Roman with her eyes. The latter just shrugged and didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Ji Xi provocatively.
"Miss Li?" Lu Luan urged again.
"Well, I actually …"
