Ji Nuan’s fair-skinned face remained indifferent. “I just don’t want to cause any unnecessary strife. I wouldn’t havee here if I had known what awaited me from the very beginning. I can confront Rong Cheng downstairs, but now there are so many people here. I don’t think they really are just ying cards here, aren’t they?”
After several seconds, the manughed. “You guessed right. Although it was Rong Cheng who invited these people here, they don’t belong to the ‘Capital Circle.’ They hade to Beijing recently and the Rong family just wants to take this chance to establish a rtionship with these people. Rong Cheng just invited them on behalf of the Rong family. After having dinner and drinks and ying cards, he will invite them to attend Grandfather Rong’s birthday party.”
Ji Nuan took inside. “So how many people the Rong family want to invite for the birthday party?”
Xiao Luye stroked his jaw and smiled. “I don’t know, but I think there must be a lot since both the Xiao family and the Mo family are invited.”
Ji Nuan nced sideways at him. “Will Mo Jingshene?”
“I’ve no idea. They have surely sent him an invitation, but I don’t know whether Mo Jingshen wille or not. But since Rong Cheng dares to call you here, he must think Mo Jingshen won’te here.”
Ji Nuan pursed her lips. “Don’t tell him what Rong Cheng did to me. I don’t want people to misunderstand that he and I are still connected.”
Xiao Luye said with a chuckle, “If you don’t want to be misunderstood, don’t do anything that is easily misunderstood.”
Ji Nuan was not pleased with his flirtatious tone. “What do you mean?”
Xiao Luyeughed and suddenly gentle scraped on her neck, his voice light and mocking. “You should reapply some concealer.”
Ji Nuan: “...”
She immediately covered her neck with her hand, looked at him in surprise, turned, and walked quickly into the nearby bathroom. When she went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror for quite a while, she found that the hickey was only slightly visible and wasn’t obvious.
<i>He could he even noticed this?</i>
Ji Nuan took concealer from her bag and carefully applied some onto her neck. When she walked out, she saw Xiao Luye standing outside the bathroom with his arms around his chest and looking at her with an ambiguous smile. “Will you and Mo Jingshen make up? I think Rong Cheng will introduce you to some guy to fix you and that guy up.”
Ji Nuan said, “It seems to have nothing to do with whether I will be eaten here today. After all, he isn’t here, is he?”
——
They walked into the room. Just as Ji Nuan expected, she didn’t know any of the people in the room, except some of them who she had seen in banquets or parties.
Seeing Xiao Luyee in with a woman, they all looked at Ji Nuan with ambiguous eyes.
Rong Cheng was sitting on the sofa, his eyes down, and seemed to be listening to someone beside him. Hearing theye, he nced at them and said with a smile. “CEO Ji, since you’vee, don’t be shy. Just take a seat.”
“CEO Ji? Which CEO Ji?”
“Who else? Except for the boss of MN Group, is there anyone else who can be called CEO Ji by our CEO Rong?”
“Oh, that rings a bell. She is that gorgeous beauty listed in Forbes this year, isn’t she?”
“Come on, sit down. I didn’t get a chance to know her in thest banquet where there were too many people. What a coincidence today. Miss Ji,e on and sit here!”
Although most people in the room didn’t find out that Rong Cheng actually disliked Ji Nuan and Rong Cheng didn’t do anything to her due to Xiao Luye’s presence, some of them had noticed that Rong Cheng looked at Ji Nuan with slight disgust, so they all studied Ji Nuan with their eyes.
There weren’t many people who could upset CEO Rong, let alone a woman.
However, Ji Nuan didn’t look at Rong Cheng at all after entering the room. She just nodded and smiled at the people in the room. When someone came over to shake hands with her, Xiao Luye suddenly put his hand around her shoulders and sat her down in a chair not far away.
“Oh, CEO Xiao, what are you doing...?”
“Take your hands off. How can you just take Miss Ji’s hands?” Xiao Luye scolded that man with a smile and stopped those young men approaching Ji Nuan.
“Wow, did you fall in love with CEO Ji? You’ve got a new target, CEO Xiao? Now you forgot about Shi Niange and turn to CEO Ji?” Two men handed him a cigarette from aside and jested.
Ji Nuan calmly nced at these people.
It seemed almost everyone in the circle knew that Xiao Luye had been chasing Shi Niange, but he just narrowed his eyes, took the cigarette that someone else lit for him, and sat beside her, calmly smoking, saying nothing about Shi Niange.
As Xiao Luye was guarding Ji Nuan on the side, the people who were curious about Ji Nuan dared not to approach, but two men and one woman sitting beside Rong Cheng came over, knocked at the table in front of Ji Nuan and nced at her condescendingly. “CEO Ji, since you are here, don’t be shy. Let’s y Mahjong together? There happens to be a table avable here.”
Ji Nuan took a look at the table and smiled. “Sorry, I don’t y Mahjong well.”
“s, you’re being modest. Who can’t y Mahjong in the business circle? Every Chinese can y Mahjong!” The woman winked at her but her eyes were scornful.
Ji Nuan said frankly, “It’s true. I didn’t y Mahjong much when I was in China, and since I stayed abroad, foreigners don’t y it, so I almost forgot how to y it. If you really want to y Mahjong, I can apany you, but I might be slow when I y it.”
“It doesn’t matter. Come y with us!” The woman came to take Ji Nuan’s arm as if she was very close to Ji Nuan.
Before she pulled Ji Nuan up, Ji Nuan stood up, politely took her own arm off, and walked towards the table.
Seeing Ji Nuan not afraid at all, the two men and the woman exchanged a nce and was about to go over, but Xiao Luye suddenly pushed one of the men away and sat beside Ji Nuan.
