The man's profile was abnormally cold and indifferent, yet handsome and extraordinary.

He was leaning back in his chair, a cigarette in his hand, his head tilted a little as if he were listening to someone beside him.

It was indeed Lu Qimu.

Li Yang felt as if his head had been struck by lightning. He was so shocked that he took a step back.

There was only one thing on her mind, escape!

Before he found her.

While Li Yang was retreating, Fu Xiaoya noticed her abnormality. She immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, walking towards one of the tables to prevent her from escaping.

Tang Guo'er followed beside Li Yang, still saying, "So it really is your cousin!" "Waves!"

This Tang Guo'er's memory was a bit too good. However, she was able to recognize her from the encounter a few months ago with just a single glance.

Li Yang really wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

Someone recognized Fu Xiaoya and called her name, beckoning her over to take a seat.

These were all the rich and powerful figures in the industry. Fu Xiaoya took the opportunity to push Li Yang forward and introduced him, "Boss Liu, this is my newbie, Li Yang."

"Miss Li, hello!"

Director Liu reached out his hand, and Li Yang shook it symbolically, then let it go. "Hello, Director Liu!"

Fu Xiaoya continued, "Little Yang, I'm counting on you to take care of her in the future. She is a beautiful woman."

Director Liu smiled and said, "It's nothing."

After saying that, he swept his gaze across Li Yang. After being stunned for a good second, he pulled Fu Xiaoya over and whispered something in his ear.

As for Fu Xiaoya, she nodded from time to time.

Fortunately, the room was crowded and noisy, so Lu Qimu didn't hear them at all, nor did he notice that she was here.

Tang Guo'er saw that Li Yang was still standing there without moving and asked curiously, "Yang Yang, aren't you going to greet your cousin?"

Tang Guo'er's voice was a bit loud, so Li Yang reflexively covered her mouth, "Where's my ancestor? Lower your voice, don't mention your cousin later, understand?"

Tang Guo'er pried her hand away and asked in confusion, "Why is that so?"

Since it was his cousin, why couldn't he bring it up?

Not to mention, he was so handsome!

Don't worry about it for now. Just pretend you never knew him. "You can't say another word, or we'll both die a horrible death!"

Tang Guo'er wanted to ask more, but when she saw the serious expression on Li Yang's face, she obediently shut her mouth and didn't ask any further questions.

She thought that if Ripple wanted her to do this, it made sense. She was so stupid, it was normal that she wouldn't understand.

Thinking of this, Tang Guo'er felt a bit dejected. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do the job properly and would be a burden to Yang Qing.

The waiter added two chairs to each table. The three female celebrities who came with Li Yang and the others had already found their seats and were chatting animatedly with the boss beside them, causing them to burst out laughing.

One could tell that he was used to such occasions.

Li Yang and Tang Guo'er had wanted to find a secluded seat. It would be best if they could escape from Lu Qimu's sight. However, she had miscalculated.

Before she could even sit down, Fu Xiaoya pulled her along and led her to another table.

And that table, was actually …

Li Yang almost burst into tears. "Sister Xiao Ya!"

It wasn't easy for her to find a perfect place to avoid Lu Qimu. Fu Xiaoya, isn't this pushing her onto the line of fire?

Fu Xiaoya glanced at her and said, "Take you to see a big shot."

Li Yang had already guessed that person, which was why she panicked even more. She didn't want to court death!

Unfortunately, now that she was here, she couldn't take it anymore.

As expected, Fu Xiaoya brought Li Yang to Lu Qimu, greeting him with a face full of smiles, "Hello, CEO Lu. This is a newcomer to my company, Li Yang. I wonder if this is a blessing to accompany you for a drink."

Lu Qimu raised his head and looked at her.

Li Yang closed his eyes in despair. This was great. She couldn't even pretend to be invisible now.

Also, could anyone tell her why this person, who had told her that he was going on a business trip for several months, had suddenly appeared in front of her?

What about the next few months?

Li Yang didn't reply. Fu Xiaoya pushed him gently, looking disappointed. "What are you waiting for? Say hello."

Li Yang opened his eyes and forced a smile that was uglier than crying at Lu Qimu, "Hello, Mr Lu."

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed for a moment, then Lu Qimu opened his mouth and said in a clear and cold voice, "Hello, Miss Li!"

Other than Gu Yubai, everyone else around Lu Qimu was shocked. From the start till now, many famous female celebrities had come over to greet Lu Qimu. Some had even purposely approached him, but he had been too lazy to respond to them.

And Li Yang, a man who had never heard of his name, had actually opened his mouth like it was the first time it had happened? It had to be known that Lu Qimu was famous in the circle for being aloof and aloof, to the point where he even ignored them.

Everyone was suddenly curious about Li Yang. After carefully examining him for a while, they seemed to have picked up on something and revealed a look of understanding.

Two of them even got up and made room for Li Yang and Fu Xiaoya. "We still have some matters to attend to. Please take a seat over there."

"Thank you!" Fu Xiaoya thanked him and pulled Li Yang onto the seat. She placed her hands on her shoulders and pressed down.

Li Yang was forced to sit in the seat closest to Lu Qimu.

Tang Guo'er sat at another table and silently looked at Li Yang. Just as she was about to pretend she didn't know him, she suddenly sat down next to him. What was the meaning of this?

She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand ~

Li Yang kept quiet while Fu Xiaoya was anxious. She wanted to step out and smooth things out, but Lu Qimu spoke up first, "What, aren't you going to drink with me?" Where's the wine? "

There was no expression on his face, nor was there any sense of joy. Fu Xiaoya couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she picked up the wine glass and mixed it with white wine in front of Li Yang and Lu Qimu.

Just now, Director Liu had pulled her aside and was talking about this.

Lu Chi Mo rarely attended such occasions. She had only seen him from afar, and with so many people entering the room, she had not noticed the existence of such an important figure.

Who was Lu Qimu? He was the richest, most reserved, and most good-looking man in B City. It could be said that every time he stamped his foot, B City would tremble.

He would definitely benefit greatly from having a relationship with him.

Li Yang, on the other hand, looked so much like Qin Xi'er.

How could she not take advantage of such a rare opportunity?

Li Yang did not move. Fu Xiaoya felt that she was like a block of wood that had to be poked before she could move.

Since Lu Qimu had already taken the initiative to speak, Fu Xiaoya was really afraid that Li Yang would offend him. She forced the wine cup into her hands, "Little Yang, have you gone stupid? Hurry up and give Director Lu a toast. "

Li Yang was indeed dumbfounded. Fu Xiaoya had given her white spirits. No, it should be said that everyone drank white spirits at the dinner table.

And she just didn't know how to drink white wine.

Li Yang frowned as he looked at Lu Qimu. This was obviously the prelude to his displeasure. If this went on, he might go into a rage.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.

Li Yang tried his best to smile, passing the wine cup to Lu Qimu, "CEO Lu, let me toast you."

The two wine glasses made a "ding" sound when they bumped into each other.

Li Yang finished it in one gulp.

Transparent liquid flowed down his throat. For the first time, Li Yang drank white wine. It was so pungent that tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

Just as Li Yang put down his glass, it was quickly filled up again.

Lu Chi Mo raised his glass at her, "Miss Li, please pass me your courtesy!"

She had no choice but to drink another cup.

As a result, cup after cup, cup after cup, she felt as if she was being set on fire, her internal organs almost ready to be roasted.

There were applause from the surrounding people. Some people were praising her for her alcohol tolerance. Only she knew that, but she felt extremely upset.

However, she still tried hard to control herself so that she would look as normal as possible. She really did not dare to lose her composure in front of Lu Qimu.

Gu Yubai saw the oddity in her words and his lips curved into a smile, "Young Master Lu, this Miss Li is a girl. Aren't you deliberately tormenting her? How about you have a drink with Miss Li and half a cup with her?

Lu Qimu glanced at him coolly. "One cup for each person, that's the fairest."

His gaze then turned to Li Yang, his voice bone-chilling. "What do you think, Miss Li?"

Li Yang couldn't help but shiver. It seemed that Lu Qimu wasn't planning on letting her go just like that.

She forced a smile, "Yes, CEO Lu is right."

Lu Qimu's lips lifted in satisfaction. "Then, Miss Li, let's continue."

It was just a pair of eyes, but there was no warmth in them at all.

She didn't know how much Li Yang drank, but she felt as if her entire body wasn't hers anymore. Her eyes started to mist over, but she still forced a smile, not daring to disturb Young Master Lu's interest.

It was unknown when everyone had gathered around the table, but Li Yang and Lu Qimu were already surrounded by people. Some were watching the show, some were sympathetic, and some were gloating.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yang's entire bottle of Maotai was empty.

Tang Guo'er couldn't stand it any longer. She wanted to rush forward to take Li Yang away, but Fu Xiaoya stopped her in time. She scolded him in a low voice, "Are you courting death?"

"But Ripple her …"

"Don't but, I'll do as I see fit."

Tang Guo'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.

At this moment, Li Yang forced himself up, "Sorry, CEO Lu, I need to go to the bathroom."

Lu Qimu had also drunk quite a bit of wine, but not a single ripple could be seen on his face; not even the slightest bit of drunkenness could be seen.

Tang Guo'er hurried Li Yang to the bathroom, but was not stopped by Fu Xiaoya this time.

The alcohol was on her, and Li Yang's steps were wobbly and wobbly. A straight corridor made her walk in an S shape …

It was a good thing that although Tang Guo'er was petite, she had a bit more strength so she was barely able to help her to the washroom. She worriedly asked, "Waves, how do you feel right now …"

Li Yang was burning with pain. He was lying on the washstand, washing his face with cold water. A large patch of water had soaked his collar.

Tang Guo'er's heart ached. She pulled her to the side and pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands.

Li Yang leaned against the wall and squatted down. He rested for a long time, but not only did he not recover, he even felt a headache coming on, making him even more uncomfortable …

Tang Guo'er stood to the side and lightly patted her back, hoping that she would feel better …

The people who came and went from the washroom would glance at her from time to time before walking around her …

Suddenly, a pair of extremely fine leather shoes appeared in front of her. Tang Guo'er raised her head and saw Lu Qimu.

She reminded him softly, "CEO Lu, the men's restroom is on the other side."

Lu Chi Mo said coldly, "Get out."

"Ah?!" Tang Guo'er was stunned.

"Get out!"

Lu Qimu's voice was bone-chilling cold, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

Tang Guo'er was so scared that tears began to roll down her cheeks, "But CEO Lu, Yang Yang …"

Lu Qimu laughed coldly, "Don't let me say the same thing a third time."
