After saying that, Ye Xi immediately felt goosebumps all over his body. His body had stiffened to the extreme.
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes as his face turned cold. He stared coldly at that slender back that looked exactly like someone's.
Lan Shan also curiously looked at Lu Jingxing and Ye Xi's bodies.
Lu Jingxing's cold eyes flashed with a gentle light, he lowered his head slightly to look at the woman in his embrace whose head was only exposed, his normally tight lips curled up slightly, and with a clear and gentle voice, he said, "My wife is a reserved and shy girl, with so many people looking at her, she is embarrassed."
When everyone heard him call her "Madam", they confirmed that the woman he had meticulously and gently cared for was really Mrs. Lu.
The man only looked at Ye Xi's back, his interest waning, while the woman's gaze towards Ye Xi was accompanied by envy and jealousy, and among them, Lan Shan.
Lan Shan's jealousy was not because he liked Lu Jingxing, but purely because he felt unresigned and unresigned from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Jingxing was an outstanding talent, to be able to obtain his care and care, it made many women yearn to chase after him, but to not be able to do so.
Although the man standing by her side was equally outstanding, in the end, he didn't love her. This was something she couldn't deceive herself.
However, as long as she was here, no one else would be able to get a little favor from him, even if she could never get one!
Lan Shan's eyes revealed a paranoid look, and a hand quietly grabbed the corner of Huo Yaoting's black suit.
Lu Jingxing unintentionally glanced at the hand Lan Shan was holding onto Huo Yaoting's clothes with, and then, he looked at Huo Yaoting indifferently, "I hope to have the chance to work with Chairman Huo."
Huo Yaoting frowned, his eyes revealed a strange light as he glanced at Lu Jingxing, "I'm afraid that this ca
ot be what CEO Lu wishes. Huo's Group is not a place where people dabble in business in France."
The industries under the Huo's Group were mainly concentrated in Asia, America and South Africa. There was indeed no industry in France.
Lu Jingxing smiled, "It's alright. I believe that one day in the future, I will come across an opportunity to cooperate with Huo's. At that time, I will even ask Chairman Huo to give me some pointers ? "It's more convenient!"
Huo Yaoting's eyes turned cold and a smile flashed past his face. He no longer looked at Lu Jingxing, and he no longer looked at Ye Xi who was in his embrace as he turned around and left.
Lu Jingxing's line of sight did not follow Huo Yaoting's as well.
The sound of high heels gradually faded until it could no longer be heard.
Ye Xi's five white fingers caressed the stinging heart, and his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat, slightly touched Lu Jingxing's embrace.
Lu Jingxing frowned, and silently stroked Ye Xi's back, his tone gentle: "Are you alright?"
Hearing his voice, Ye Xi frowned, lowered her head, and angrily pushed him away as she gasped for breath, "I'm going to look for Ji
ian."
The moment Ye Xi turned around, he grabbed her arm.
Ye Xi pursed her lips and turned white. She simply looked at him, her clear eyes shining with anger, yet not losing out to her beauty. She lowered her voice and said, "Why?"
If it weren't for him holding her back, she would have left this place long ago. She wouldn't have to endure the uneasiness and heartache.
Lu Jingxing looked at Ye Xi's small face which became even more vivid and beautiful due to her anger. She pursed her lips and spoke with a low voice, "Songsong, this is the first time you have been angry with me."
"?" Ye Xi was startled, his expression u
atural, he lowered his eyes and replied, "I'm not angry!"
Although she was not angry, her tone clearly carried a cold anger.
Lu Jingxing sighed, his sharp eyes looking straight into Ye Xi's eyes, "Tell me Songsong, why are you so angry?"
Ye Xi looked at his eyes, his throat itching, but he couldn't say a single word.
Did he blame her for holding her in his arms in front of that man, calling her his wife in front of him, or did he blame her for letting her spend so much time with other women around him?
But she couldn't blame him!
He didn't know the relationship between her and that person.
Even in the two years they had been in France, they had lived under the same roof as husband and wife, but she had never mentioned the man to him.
So in Ye Xi's mind, Lu Jingxing did not know about the relationship between her and Huo Yaoting.
In the end, Ye Xi only thought that it was an unintentional move.
Ye Xi looked at him and said gently, "I will go find Ji
ian."
However, Lu Jingxing still did not loosen his grip, and stared at Ye Xi: "With Demon following Lu Encheng, Ji
ian will be fine."
Demon followed Ji
ian?
Ye Xi looked at Lu Jingxing doubtfully.
Lu Jingxing nodded to her affirmatively.
Ye Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
The fact that Demon was able to stand out amongst the hundred elite mercenaries and become Lu Jingxing's bodyguard showed how capable he was.
Ye Xi had never doubted Demon's ability either.
So now that he knew that Demon was following Ji
ian, Ye Xi's heart slightly calmed down.
"It will be the finale for the king and queen of this ball. You will accompany me." Lu Jingxing looked at Ye Xi and said.
Ye Xi froze, then looked at Lu Jingxing worriedly. "Jingxing, I, I'm very sorry, I can't dance with you this time, I ?"
"OK." Lu Jingxing pursed his lips, preventing her from speaking further.
Ye Xi's face was filled with apology, "Jingxing, I know that I should cooperate with you at this time, but today, I ?"
"Songsong, listen to me." Lu Jingxing held Ye Xi's shoulders, stared at her somewhat panicky and anxious eyes, and said slowly, "It's fine if you don't want to jump, you don't have to apologize to me."
Ye Xi lowered his head, conflicted, "I'm sorry."
Lu Jingxing sighed, and then rubbed her head helplessly.
Ye Xi who felt that the ball was not safe hid himself in the female restroom, tied up a beautiful knot with his long skirt, and then sat on the toilet bowl in the bathroom.
Ever since he saw Huo Yaoting and Lan Shan attending the ball together, Ye Xi's mind was filled with his deep love and love for Huo Yaoting.
It was only at this moment that Ye Xi realised who the man that Lan Shan had talked about for ten years was.
The question that kept torturing her the entire time lingered in her mind, but what was the identity of Lan Shan accompanying him at a ball like today? She was just a companion, or was it ?
Ye Xi closed her eyes, she suddenly felt that she could no longer continue thinking about it, and just thinking about it, she could no longer bear it.
But at this moment, the door in front of him was suddenly knocked from the outside.
