"I was invited to the party. Plus, this doesn't seem to be an industry owned by the L. Force group. Does Director Ling have the qualifications to order me around?" Rui Chen Yang spoke slowly, as if he was chatting.

The corner of Ling Yiheng's mouth suffused a smile. The smile was so bright that even the crystal lamp on top of his head paled in comparison. However, this smile didn't reach his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Cobain. Thank you for your invitation for today's reception. I'll be taking my female companion away first." Ling Yiheng pulled Zuo Zixian's hand and said in a deep voice to the host of the banquet.

It was obvious that he wasn't going to give the other party face, nor did he want to follow any form of courtesy.

It was rare for someone as calm and self-possessed as Ling Yiheng to do such a thing. Many of the people present were astonished, because what he had just done was not on good terms with Rui Chenyang.

Actually, from the look they were giving each other, it could be seen that although Rui Chen Yang looked calm and collected on the surface, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Is this the attitude of L. Force in power? You want to leave without a word? " Rui Chen Yang's voice came from behind him. It was still calm, but it seemed to be a provocation.

Cobain, the real estate agent who had invited him, smelled the smoke in the air and quickly began to mediate.

"Director Ling, Director Rui, it's rare for you two to be invited, so don't be angry. Come, Director Rui, let's go have a drink. " As he said that, he took a cup of wine and passed it to Rui Chen Yang.

Ling Yiheng, on the other hand, didn't hesitate to take large strides forward with Zuo Ziqian, not even caring about the ashen faces of the people behind him and the looks of dismay on the faces of a large group of famous young mistresses.

Rui Chen Yang secretly glanced at the place where Ling Yi Heng had left, but there was still a bright smile on his face, and he looked extremely friendly.

Ling Yiheng brought Zuo Zixian all the way to the parking lot. He pulled her hand without any control, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air from the pain.

"What the hell are you doing?" She couldn't help but ask with a hint of complaint in her voice.

It was only then that the man seemed to realize something and let go of her hand, slightly absent-minded.

"Ling …" Ling Yiheng, what's wrong with you? " Seeing that he was silent, the Left Sage could not help but ask carefully.

He did not reply. Standing with his back to her in the cold wind, he gave off an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.

"Achoo."

It was Zuo Zixian who sneezed from the cold, and she subconsciously hugged her body.

Ling Yiheng then turned around, looked at her, and quickly took off his jacket and put it on her. Then, without waiting for her reaction, he opened the car door and pushed her into the passenger seat while he went around to the driver's seat.

"I'll send you back." The only thing he said was to start the engine and stare straight ahead at the road.

Seeing that he didn't even want to talk to him, Zuo Zizhen didn't ask anymore, but he faintly felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface.

This seemed to be the first time she saw a different Ling Yiheng.

As the car drove on the wide road, he gradually sped up and soon arrived at his destination.

"Here we are. You should get off the carriage." he said coldly, turning his head away from her face.

His appearance made her feel stuffy. Had she done something wrong? Why was he so mad for no reason? Was it because that Rui Chen Yang wanted to ask her to dance?

However, since he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask. Anyway, the relationship between them was just a deal, nothing else.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zizhi let out a sigh of relief, closed the car door, and quickly entered the house without saying a word.

Ling Yiheng's car stayed where it was for a long time without leaving. His eyes seemed to have no focus as he stared at the street not far away.

It was only when Zuo Ziqian changed out of his clothes that he heard the whistle.

As for why that man acted so strangely, she could not think of a single reason.

That night, the party lost a lot of color due to Ling Yiheng's departure, but many people were also interested in Rui Chenyang's appearance.

After all, Ling Yiheng had a female companion, while Rui Chenyang had come alone, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Zuo Zixian's mother was with him in the hospital, while she was alone in her apartment. However, after tossing and turning on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he decided to go out to the hospital to change his mother to come back home to rest.

In the street of her apartment, a man in a black hoodie was approaching in her direction, wearing sunglasses.

Zuo Zixian closed the door alone, changed into a light dress with a knitted jacket, and prepared to go to the hospital.

This was because it was very difficult to take a taxi at this time of the year. Furthermore, it was only two blocks away. It was enough for them to take a walk.

However, she didn't know that her decision had brought disaster upon herself.
