Ling Mofeng wasn"t interested in Lan Xianxian at all. He just tightly hugged the woman in his arms. Lan Yanxi also didn"t want to talk about other people"s affairs. She tiredly curled up in his arms, looking forward to tomorrow.
That night, Lan Yanxi was always shaking in her sleep. Ling Mofeng knew that she pretended to be strong on the surface, but he was still scared. He felt sorry for her and blamed himself, so the only thing he could do was to hug her and give her a sense of security.
Morning!
Today was a big day for Ling Mofeng and Lan Yanxi.
Ling Mofeng woke up very early, and the sky outside the window was still bright. He sat up and looked at the girl with a gentle gaze. She didn"t sleep well last night, and with that again, she looked very tired.
After all, it was just an engagement banquet today, not a marriage. Ling Mofeng pla
ed to let her sleep for a while longer and wasn"t in a hurry.
Lan Yanxi opened her eyes in a daze and saw a bright light outside the window. She was so frightened that she quickly sat up.
"Ling Mofeng." She seemed to be looking for a groom, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn"t find him. She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, but fortunately, she woke up in time to find that she wasn"t accompanied by a man, causing her to panic.
Lan Yanxi quickly got off the bed and ran out of the room without even wearing her shoes.
When he was about to go downstairs, he b.u.mped into a man who was walking up the stairs with a gla.s.s of milk in his hand.
Ling Mofeng was wearing only a grey turtleneck sweater and a pair of slacks. He looked lazy and elegant, very different from his usual romantic and youthful style.
Lan Yanxi, on the other hand, was in a terrible state. Her long hair was a mess, and her pajamas were askew, revealing her white shoulders and half of her delicate jade arms.
The two of them ran into each other on the stairs, both of them looking surprised.
"Yanxi, what"s wrong? Where are the shoes? " Ling Mofeng looked down from her face in surprise and found that she was barefoot. Her hands were tightly clenched, as if she was afraid of something and needed to muster up the courage to face it.
Only then did Lan Yanxi"s cute feet move away in embarra.s.sment. Her pretty face flushed red. "I ??" I thought you were gone. "
"Did you fall asleep? Do you know what day it is today? How could I not? " The man couldn"t help but chuckle. He walked up to her gently and placed the milk in her hand. He then bent over and said, "Come on, I"ll carry you back to the bedroom."
"No need ??" I"ll walk by myself. " Lan Yanxi felt even more embarra.s.sed. Why was she acting like a lunatic?
"The ground is very cold." The man"s voice was deep, but it carried a sense of perseverance.
Lan Yanxi nodded and climbed onto his shoulder. The man lifted her legs and carried her on his back.
When he walked into the bedroom, the man seemed to feel that something was wrong. He couldn"t help but stretch out his hand, and saw that his finger seemed to have been dyed red.
"Yanxi, your dress ??" The handsome man was stu
ed for a moment. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the woman"s back and discovered that there was a small patch of moisture on her beige nightgown.
Lan Yanxi immediately pulled her skirt over and saw her embarra.s.sed appearance.
"Ah ??" Lan Yanxi had been sleeping on her side the whole time, so one side of her nightgown had leaked. She let out a shriek, feeling as if she had lost all face in her life.
Ling Mofeng was also embarra.s.sed. Although it wasn"t him who was embarra.s.sed, he also blushed.
"Go take a shower, I"ll wait for you downstairs." Ling Mofeng noticed that the woman"s face was so red that blood was about to drip from it. He lowered his head to his chest and smiled warmly. Then, he turned around and left quickly.
Lan Yanxi was stu
ed in place for a long time. She couldn"t help but cover her face. "Why is it like this?"
The young men and women living together in movies and TV dramas were as romantic as a painting, living a beautiful life as beautiful as a poem. However, when Ling Mofeng and her were here, they seemed to have endless shame and endless embarra.s.sing incidents.
Lan Yanxi discovered that the movies and TV dramas were all lies. In real life, how could life be treated like a poem or painting? There were too many things that were unpredictable.
Lan Yanxi took a bath, changed her clothes, and went downstairs. The man was sitting at the dining table in a daze. Ling Mofeng, I"m sorry. " Lan Yanxi had seen the man"s fingers smeared with her own. She felt ashamed at this moment. She had heard that men despised such things.
"Don"t be shy, we"re both going to get married. There"s no more privacy between husband and wife, right?" Ling Mofeng knew she was thin-ski
ed so he immediately comforted her with a smile.
"But ??" I still feel embarra.s.sed. " Lan Yanxi sighed.
"What"s there to be ashamed of? Come over and eat something. We"re about to go over." Ling Mofeng walked over and gently held her hand, leading her to the table.
Lan Yanxi sat down, nibbling on her bread and drinking her milk.
After breakfast, Ling Mofeng"s team came to pick them up. Cheng Yuan was standing beside Chu Lie. The two of them were wearing casual clothes, which was a rare occurrence. The two of them were standing together and matched each other very well.
"Yanxi, congratulations to the both of you, you can finally be together with Mr. Vice President in broad daylight." Cheng Yuan sent her blessing from the bottom of her heart.
Lan Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled lightly. With a bashful expression, she said, "Thank you. You will be there soon."
Cheng Yuan"s face also turned hot as she looked at Chu Lie, who was laughing foolishly. Chu Lie scratched his head in embarra.s.sment.
Ling Mofeng smiled and said, "Alright, let"s go. Don"t keep the guests waiting."
The group set off for the engagement banquet. After more than an hour, Ling Mofeng"s team stopped at a very elegant restaurant. This restaurant was a private restaurant opened by a relative of the Ling Family.
The guests that Ling Mofeng invited today were all people that he was very close to, and the Lan Family was exactly ten tables away from the Ling Family.
Lan Bai and Lan Chen also came. As soon as they walked in, they looked at a table on the side in shock. It was Ji Xiaohan and Luo Jinyu. They were drinking and chatting; it seemed that the atmosphere wasn"t good.
Lan Bai and Lan Chen glanced at each other. It seemed that Ji Xiaohan and Luo Jinyu were indeed Ling Mofeng"s supporters.
In front of Ji Xiaohan and Luo Jinyu, Lan Bai and Lan Chen did not dare to be too presumptuous. However, they still went up to greet them with smiles on their faces.
"Boss Ji, Boss Luo, it"s my pleasure to meet you two. I never thought that I would be able to meet you two here, it"s really fate." As the manager of Lan Family, Lan Bai spoke politely.
Ji Xiaohan and Luo Jinyu obviously knew each other. Not only did they know each other, they also worked together.
"Director Lan is too polite." Ji Xiaohan"s handsome face had a very professional smile, neither cold nor hot.
Luo Jinyu also nodded with a smile. However, he didn"t have much enthusiasm.
Although the Lan family had gradually declined in his hands, once upon a time, their Lan Family had been the richest in the world. At this moment, facing a young compet.i.tor, Lan Bai still wanted to maintain his composure, so after greeting him politely, he sat down and began chatting about his future.
Lan Chen lowered his voice and said, "Second Brother, I"ve heard that Ji Xiaohan and Luo Jinyu are supporting Ling Mofeng. I don"t believe it at all, but now it seems to be true."
"They"re all sitting here, how can it be fake?" Lan Bai snorted coldly with an unhappy expression.
"Second brother, what does their public appearance mean? Don"t you know? I feel that old president might have really gone too far, tell me ?? Shall we or won"t we? " Lan Chen immediately put on a kind and persuasive expression, hoping that second brother would stop the damage in time.
"Be quiet." Lan Bai glared at him fiercely: "You want everyone to know? If you don"t want to die, then shut up. "
"Second brother, I"m doing this for your own good. Choosing a master is the most rational thing to do." When Lan Bai came to him to discuss who he should rely on, the first choice Lan Chen had given him was the old president. But now, he said such sarcastic words, clearly showing that he wanted to make Lan Bai unhappy.
Lan Bai"s expression darkened. His heart was already wavering.
Although Ji Xiaohan and Luo Jinyu were the only two people partic.i.p.ating in the banquet today, no one dared to underestimate the people behind them.
Luo Jinyu"s brother had married the Mu Family"s female president, while Ji Xiaohan"s brother, Ji Yueze, controlled media entertainment. All kinds of interests, complicated yet obvious, made people more and more confident in Ling Mofeng"s support.
"Xiaohan, you should have met Mr. Vice President"s girlfriend before." Luo Jinyu asked lazily as he held up his wine cup and shook it gently.
Ji Xiaohan shook his head. "If I said I"ve never seen it before, would you believe me?"
Ji Xiaohan seemed to have never seen Lan Yanxi before. He only knew that Ling Mofeng had initially rejected her and then treated her like a treasure. He was also very curious about what had happened between them.
"I don"t quite believe it." Luo Jinyu smiled and joked.
Ji Xiaohan shrugged his shoulders and glanced around: "The two main characters of today are going to appear. If you"re curious about the looks of their girlfriend, you will be able to see it for yourself very soon."
When Luo Jinyu heard this, he turned around and saw a group of black carriages parked steadily outside the hall.
This restaurant was ancient and had only one floor. The surroundings were completely green and very artistic.
Ling Mofeng chose this spot because it was surrounded by a courtyard, making it easier to carry out security measures. Plus, he already liked the style of this ancient building.
Lan Yanxi was extremely nervous. She had changed into a red dress with a light jacket on the outside when she had left just now. Her long hair was tied up at the ends, making her look much more charming than usual.
The man looked at her with a dark expression.
