As his palm became empty, Lu Jingxing slightly lowered her thick eyelashes, covering the darkness that appeared in her eyes.
Withdrawing his hand, Lu Jingxing bent down slightly and picked Ji
ian up in his arms. With a warm smile on his lips, he said, "Ji
ian is very handsome."
Ji
ian had been praised since he was young, and now that he heard someone praise him, he no longer had any special feelings. He shrugged his shoulders and courteously exchanged courtesies, "Daddy is also very handsome today!"
Lu Jingxing smiled, "Really?"
Although the words were said to Ji
ian, he still looked at Ye Xi with his gentle gaze.
Ye Xi pretended not to see it, "The ball starts at 7, we should be going out now, it's not good to be late, after all."
"No rush, the hotel will only take half an hour to get to the Merchants' Association." Lu Jingxing looked at Ye Xi with warmth in her eyes, and said with a pitiful tone of voice, "You've been busy the whole afternoon, and you're tired too. Sit down and rest for a while."
It was not even 5: 30 yet, it was still too early to go out, so Ye Xi nodded his head.
However, the dress was simply too long, and walking was extremely inconvenient. Ye Xi took two steps towards the sofa before he stopped.
Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, walked up in large steps and sat Ji
ian down on the sofa.
After that, he walked to Ye Xi's back, and considerately lifted the hem of Ye Xi's skirt. He pursed his lips and looked at Ye Xi silently and gently.
Seeing that, Ye Xi's heart jumped, he looked at Lu Jingxing with a complex expression, then walked to Ji
ian's side and sat down.
Lu Jingxing let go of her skirt and turned towards her bedroom.
When he came out again, he was holding a red velvet gift box.
Walking in front of Ye Xi, Lu Jingxing slightly squatted down and opened the velvet present in his hands.
Immediately, a gem necklace with a dim blue glow appeared before Ye Xi's eyes.
Ye Xi stared at the necklace, a flash of beauty appeared in her eyes, then raised her head and looked at Lu Jingxing in shock.
Lu Jingxing smiled and took out the gemstone necklace.
He leaned forward and helped Ye Xi carry it on, "I bought this necklace from a previous auction. When I saw it back then, I thought it must be very pretty."
Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrow, he stared at the gemstone necklace on Ye Xi's neck, his cold eyes ignited with passion, he looked at Ye Xi, "As expected, it is truly enchanting."
Ye Xi frowned, his hand caressing the blue gemstone pendant below her collarbone, his mouth pulling: "This necklace, must be very expensive, right?"
Lu Jingxing smiled but did not speak.
Ye Xi's heart sank.
These past two years, Lu Jingxing had gifted her with a lot of expensive jewelry, but she had never liked wearing jewelry. Firstly, she felt that it was too burdensome;
Therefore, she accepted all the things he gave her under the name of "Song Xinan". Aside from the banquets that she had to wear, the rest of the time, she kept them in a gift box.
He thought that if he left one day, he would return these things to him.
After all, it was Song Xinan who took his things, not her, Ye Xi.
And every time she accepted his things, she would comfort herself with this. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to convince herself to accept it.
The final result of the necklace on her neck would be the same as what she received before, the item returned to its original owner.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Xi became more at ease.
At 6: 40, a long, elegant black Lincoln pulled up in front of a private hot spring club.
Lu Jingxing walked out of the carriage first, and carried Ji
ian out. Then, he extended his hand out.
In an instant, a small hand was placed on his palm.
Lu Jingxing sighed in his heart, he slowly tightened his fingers and tightened his grip on his palm, his voice gentle and caring, "Be careful."
Ye Xi bit her lips, and carefully enough, she got off the carriage.
The moment Ye Xi got off the car, someone respectfully held up the hem of her skirt.
In the France for two years, Ye Xi had accompanied Lu Jingxing to attend many banquets, and towards this action, Ye Xi already did not have any unforeseen circumstances or unaccustomed feelings, he only needed to smile gratefully towards the welcoming lady who held up her skirt.
The hostess was stu
ed for a moment before a surprised expression appeared on her face.
Tonight, she was the first person who had touched the skirts of countless noble madams. She was the one who had displayed a grateful smile to her.
The welcoming lady was overwhelmed by the favor, and u
aturally pouted at Ye Xi, and then lowered her head.
"Let's go." Lu Jingxing held onto Ji
ian's small hand with one hand and hugged Ye Xi with the other as if he was a gentleman, as he whispered warm words into her ear.
Ye Xi turned his head and faintly nodded to him.
However, just as they were walking in, an unbridled and frivolous voice suddenly spilled out from behind them.
"Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law ?"
"Fourth uncle ?"
Ji
ian turned around and looked at the few thugs with his bright black eyes and was pleasantly surprised.
Ye Xi's back felt numb for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at Lu Jingxing beside him.
Lu Jingxing also looked at her, his gaze warm and comforting.
Ye Xi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around, and looked at the person with a smile. "Benefactor, you're also here."
Lu Encheng, Lu Jingxing's half-brother, whose mother was of noble French blood, was the fourth oldest in Ferrousse's Family. Two years ago, he was the one who had the highest hopes of becoming the person who held the power of Ferrousse's Family.
Lu Encheng smirked. The obsidian ears of his left ear shined with a golden light as he laughed wickedly.
Her pale lake-colored eyes were filled with emotions as she looked at Ye Xi. Her voice was pure and pleasant, "Sister-in-law, did brother not tell you that I was invited to the B City's Merchant Union Ball?"
"So that's how it is." Ye Xi laughed.
"Fourth Uncle." Ji
ian raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Encheng.
Lu Encheng slowly shifted her gaze onto Ji
ian, curled her lips, and picked Ji
ian up in a hug, stroking her little curly hair, "Little guy, do you miss Fourth Uncle?"
Ji
ian groaned, and also rubbed his hair, "Fourth Uncle is always surrounded by so many beauties everyday, does Ji
ian want to know what Fourth Uncle has to do with it?"
"Kid, are you jealous?" Lu Encheng smiled, picked up Ji
ian and walked towards the club.
During this time, Lu Jingxing did not look back at him.
Seeing Ji
ian being carried away by Lu Encheng, Ye Xi frowned, but could not care about anything else, and quickly followed.
Lu Jingxing stared at Lu Encheng's back, his cold eyes thick with killing intent.
Stepping into the venue of the Merchant Guild's ball pool, only then did Ye Xi realize that there were even more elites participating in the ball itself. However, due to her shock, she stopped for a few seconds on the spot, and when she looked again, Lu Encheng and Ji
ian were already nowhere to be seen.
Although he knew that Lu Encheng would not do anything to him at this time, he was still worried that Ji
ian would not do anything to him.
