ction of the main gate, followed by Mo Yao, tall and handsome in a suit, striding towards them.Mo Yao, who is in his early thirties, is already the CEO of Shengshi Group. He is wealthy and dashing, an...Li Bochen's fingers tightened around the red wine glass. "I just asked him to handle something for me, he might be busy now."
"He has always cared about my mother's belongings. Now that you are so generous and willing to give them back to me, I must tell him this good news and thank you together for your kindness."
Luo Ningxi didn't want Li Bochen to miss this opportunity to get close to the leader. She didn't even give Shengzong a chance to react and directly called Li Bochen.
"Beep beep—"
Although the surrounding banquet hall wasn't completely silent, soothing and elegant music was playing.
A sudden, urgent ringtone shattered the elegant atmosphere.
Luo Ningxi heard the ringtone of her husband's phone, it was ringing all around her. She instinctively searched for the source of the sound, and then she froze...
This sound, it came from President Sheng's pocket
Looking closely, Ning Xi saw the outline of a phone tucked inside the tailored suit of the man.
Is it a coincidence
I called Li Bochen myself, why is Sheng Zong's phone ringing And the ringtone is exactly the same!
Luo Ningxi's gaze was fixed on the pair of ink-colored eyes beneath Li Bochen's mask. Her fingers curled slightly and she hung up the phone directly.
"Drip—"
The ringing abruptly stopped, leaving the surrounding music in stunned silence!
Sheng's phone also stopped ringing!!
Lu Ningxi's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing with horrifying thoughts. She couldn't even breathe properly, only staring intently at the tall man in front of her.
Li Boche's deep eyes instantly turned cold.
Damn, he forgot to put his phone on silent...
But he had long wanted to tell Luo Ningxi his true identity. If it was revealed here...
They've been through so much together, she should understand, shouldn't she
Why not just come clean about your identity now
Li Boheng moved his lips, just about to speak, when Luo Ningxi suddenly took a step forward and stood before him.
"Are you..."
She raised her eyes to look at those familiar eyes, her brow furrowed more and more, as if she already knew something.
She slowly raised her hand and reached towards the man's mask...
Since the moment the phone rang, Mo Yao's heart had been in his throat!
Now, she was watching as Mrs. Li was about to take off Mr. Li's mask. She didn't even dare to breathe. What is Mr. Li going to do Is he going to use this opportunity to confess to his wife
But there are still so many people here, what if Li Zong's true identity is exposed...
Isn't he unwilling to let people know that the behind-the-scenes boss of Shengshi Group is the fourth young master of the Li family
Lo Ningxi's fingertips, inching closer to the man's mask, silently prayed in her heart that beneath it would be a completely unfamiliar face, and not the one she had in her mind!
Two people looked at each other through their masks, the atmosphere suddenly becoming extremely tense.
It seemed like only the two of them were left, everything else around them vanished.
Just as Luo Ningxi's finger was about to touch the man's mask!
Suddenly, a tall figure stood between the two, abruptly stopping Luo Ningxi's movement!
Yu Chengnan held a glass of red wine, blocking Lo Ningxi's view completely.
"Xixi, I just looked for you downstairs for a long time, didn't expect you to be here."
"What do you want from me"
Lu Ningxi's thoughts were interrupted, and her tone was slightly displeased.
She hasn't settled the score with him about the bidding yet, and now he's running over here again.
Yu Chengan warily glanced at Li Bochen, his eyes filled with hostility. "Everyone here is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't be deceived by them, come back with me first."
He wanted to pull Lu Ningxi over after he finished speaking, but she resisted and dodged away, "Don't touch me! Compared to you, Sheng總 is more like a good person..."
She leaned back slightly, falling right into a pair of arms that smelled of pine.
Li Bichen held Luo Ningxi's waist with one hand, gentlemanly steadying the person, and said coldly, "Mr. Yu, this place is not yet where the Yu Group can run wild."
Yu Chengnan gritted his teeth, almost squeezing out the words from his throat, "Who do I think I am, Shengzong of Shengshi Group Just now at the auction, Shengzong spent a fortune for Ningxi, what a dashing figure."
"If it makes Miss Luo happy, what's the point of this money" Li Bichen said nonchalantly, but his body was in a defensive posture, shielding Luo Ningxi.
A soft voice suddenly turned Yu Chengnan's face dark. He gritted his teeth and said, "But President Sheng and Miss Luo are not related by blood or marriage. Who knows what your purpose is in doing this"
"Purpose How come, in President Yu's mind, giving a lady a gift must always have a purpose"
"Fifty million, even that could kill a few people if thrown around. I don't believe President Sheng is so generous."
"Then you're mistaken. Miss Luo and I are good friends. The reason I bought this necklace is twofold: first, out of respect for her mother's heirloom, and second, as a way to repay her."
Yu Chengnan frowned, clearly not understanding. What kind of return
When did they get involved againt they constantly disparaged and slandered him, trying to drive his image into the abyss in Luo Ningxi's heart.“You won't be happy this way, XiXi. This is being responsible for yourself, and also for...
