At this time, he did not want other men to get closer and s.n.a.t.c.h the right to chat between him and Ouyang Mengyue.
Ouyang Burong watched from not too far away, and from the bottom of his heart, he really liked his. If his daughter could be together with Cheng Yang, then there would be one more person to take care of the future company.
Furthermore, Cheng Yang"s family background was also very pure, with no dark history, he was very satisfied.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Ji Tianci"s figure stepped in. His gaze merely swept across the place once, and he immediately saw a figure with his back facing a certain direction. Although Ouyang Mengyue was a little similar to him, Ji Tianci recognized him with a single glance.
Ji Tianci was slightly dazed. Just the back figure of one person was enough for Ouyang Mengyue to attract a man"s attention tonight.
At the same time, Ji Tianci was facing the man who was chatting with her. He had the most brilliant smile on his face, and the warmest gaze as he stared at Ouyang Mengyue.
Ji Tianci"s heart tensed up. Was he not here at the right time? She already had someone accompanying her, so it didn"t matter if he came or not.
Ji Tianci"s figure was seen by Ouyang Burong, he was shocked, and felt honored to welcome him: "Young Master Ji, you"re here, I thought you didn"t have the time to come."
"I... I need to find peace and quiet for a reason. " Ji Tianci could only force out a reason.
"Since you"ve come, let"s drink a cup before you leave." With that, Ouyang Burong looked around and guessed, "I think Yu Ze and An Ran are probably resting in some resting room."
"No rush." Ji Tianci shook his head.
At this time, Ouyang Mengyue was about to turn around and place the empty cup she had drunk onto the tray, when her eyes swept across the place slightly.
When she saw the man who talked to her father, her hands trembled, and she almost broke the cup. The waiter quickly supported the shaking cup, and Ouyang Mengyue apologized.
He"s here, he"s here?
"Excuse me." Ouyang Mengyue said to Cheng Yang as she went from the other waiter"s tray to the man who had just arrived with a cup of red wine.
When Ji Tianci saw his and her touching, his gaze became complicated and he smiled like a flower. When Ouyang Burong turned his head and saw his daughter coming over, he was shocked, "Xiao Yue, didn"t I ask you to accompany Young Master Cheng?"
"Big brother Ji, you"re here." Ouyang Mengyue smiled and greeted her.
"En!" Ji Tianci lowered his head.
"Father, let me greet Big Brother Ji! "Go ahead." Ouyang Mengyue said to his father.
Ouyang Burong was slightly startled, his daughter was being a little too proactive! With that, Ouyang Burong turned around and was called away by his two old friends.
Ouyang Mengyue and Ji Tianci looked at each other, and her mouth curved into a smile, "I thought you wouldn"t come anymore!"
Ji Tianci held onto his phone and explained, "There"s a traffic jam on the road, my phone is out of battery."
A sweet taste rose from the bottom of Ouyang Mengyue"s heart. So that"s how it is! So it wasn"t on purpose that he was late.
Ouyang Mengyue walked over to the waiter and handed him another gla.s.s of red wine. "Here, take it."
Ji Tianci accepted it, and when he raised his head, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him. It was the man who was happily chatting with Ouyang Mengyue a moment ago, and her gaze was filled with hostility towards him.
"Who were you talking to just now?" Ji Tianci pretended not to see it.
"A senior." Ouyang Mengyue explained in a serious tone.
"Where"s Yuze and your sister?"
"They probably don"t like it here. They went somewhere to rest!" Ouyang Mengyue laughed. Actually, she did not like this kind of occasion.
Ji Tianci"s company rarely came into contact with businesses that dealt with the Ouyang Family, so, while he was standing here, he knew the people around him, but he was not familiar with them.
"Come here, let me introduce you to my dad"s friends and companions!" Ouyang Mengyue happily a.s.sumed this role.
"No need, I"m here for a drink." Ji Tianci shook his head, he was not interested in the business of the Ouyang Family.
Ouyang Mengyue blinked her eyes, she did not insist, and raised her gla.s.s and said to him, "Then let me drink the first cup of wine with you."
Ji Tianci clinked a cup with her and drank a mouthful. Seeing that Ouyang Mengyue had drank quite a bit, he frowned, "You drank too much."
"I"m happy." After Ouyang Mengyue finished, he held the cup and spoke to him, "Let"s go to the balcony to take a breather!"
Ji Tianci lowered his head and accompanied her to the balcony. There was no one here, it was very quiet.
This time, made Ouyang Mengyue a little uncomfortable. She knew that he came here because she was the one who forced him to come.
"Sorry …" I didn"t want to cry today... I may be too emotional. " Ouyang Mengyue looked up at him, apologizing.
"I"m fine." Ji Tianci drank his wine and looked out the window at the night sky.
Ouyang Mengyue looked at the big palm that he had placed on the railing. His palm was really big and thick, she couldn"t help but mischievously hold her own hand and gently place it on the back of his hand, as though to make a comparison.
Ji Tianci"s body instantly tensed up. He looked at the slender hand that covered the back of his hand and wanted to retract it, but he held back.
Ouyang Mengyue couldn"t help but be a little bolder. Her slender fingers started to fit together with his big palm and squeezed into his fingers one by one in an attempt to grab onto his fingers with her fingers, in an attempt to achieve the effect of clenching her fingers tightly.
In the end, Ji Tianci"s hand was still pulled back, and Ouyang Mengyue"s hand immediately tightened around his, both of her hands were clasped together, she raised his head and looked at him, "Your hand is so warm."
Ji Tianci frowned, he wanted to pull away, but was stopped by Ouyang Mengyue, however, he did not insist and allowed her to hold on.
"There"s going to be a ball in a bit. Can you dance with me?!"
"I"m not very good at it." Ji Tianci replied in a low voice.
"It"s fine, I don"t mind." After he finished speaking, Ouyang Mengyue sighed lightly, "If you don"t dance with me, then there will definitely be a lot of young men here tonight who will invite me to dance."
These words were meant for Ji Tianci to hear, as she probed whether he cared or not.
A hint of nervousness flashed past Ji Tianci"s eyes, and he lowered his eyes to size up the girl in front of him.
"Alright, I"ll dance with you." Ji Tianci promised her. He knew that the man who chatted with her just now would definitely seize this opportunity.
The smile on Ouyang Mengyue"s face became even brighter, "Un!"
