Liu Lili's face was gloomy, her steps moved slightly, and she reached out to get the glass of wine, but she saw a flash of white.
Xu Nanxing had already taken the wine glass and drank it with a smile.
There were wine stains on the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand to wipe it away gently and put down the wine glass.
"Good drinker, come again!" Mr. Li raised his hand and came again.
Xu Nanxing lowered her eyebrows, her fine long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of heat rose in her chest. She picked up the wine glass again and drank it all.
It was obvious that Mr. Li was just teasing people. Everyone in the hall regarded it as a show and no one stopped him.
Liu Lili's face became even gloomier, but she couldn't.
"Li Bowen is a bad guy who loves to bully women."
Lu Xiao was talking to himself, then turned around and found that the person next to him had already stood up and left through the side door.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The only person who responded to him was a sluggish figure.
When the third glass of wine was filled, Xu Nanxing's vision was already blurry, and he knew without looking that his cheeks must be flushed.
Her fingers touched the wall of the cup, her fingertips tightened, and she took a deep breath.
The wine glass touched the corner of his lips, and someone behind him suddenly said,
"Sorry to bother you!"
Liu Lili knew the person coming, Gu Huaizhi's assistant Xu Zhinian.
Xu Zhinian looked at Li Bowen,
"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. ...Mr. Gu also wants to watch the performance just again alone, so I might as well spend some time with you here!"
Li Bowen is a person with a bad taste, and he doesn't want to let go of such a good opportunity.
But even though he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to offend Gu Huaizhi and laughed sarcastically.
"Since it is Mr. Gu who has invited me, I can't force you to stay, so please do as you please!"
Xu Zhinian thanked him and led the three people away.
After leaving the door, Xu Zhinian led the three of them to a corridor.
Liu Lili knew that Gu Huaizhi was not an easy person to get along with. There must be a reason for her to interfere in today's affairs, but after all, she had her care. She said to Xu Zhinian with a smile on her face,
"Assistant Xu, thank you just now!"
Xu Zhinian raised his hand, interrupted her, and pointed at Xu Nanxing,
"No need to thank you. It is indeed Mr. Gu who wants to listen to piano music. I wonder if Miss Xu would condescend to play another one?"
The words only mentioned Xu Nanxing, but did not invite Lin Qingying to go with him.
Liu Lili was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Nanxing with a normal expression,
"Nan Xing? Is it convenient for you?"
Extravagant night, a man and a woman alone, the powerful and the weak...
Having been in the circle for so long, Liu Lili understands the meaning.
She hopes that all the girls she brings can live up to their expectations and become famous, but she doesn’t know if Xu Nanxing can stand the unspoken rules hidden in this...
Xu Nanxing only hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Liu Lili felt relieved and seemed to have a hint of joy, but it suddenly turned into deep worry.
She understands those things in the circle, but Nan Xing is a good prospect, and she still hopes that she will stand out because of her excellence, not in this way.
Can,
Such is the world.
Hopefully, everything is fine.
The mobile phone in her handbag kept ringing. She lowered her head and took it out, glanced at it a few times, and said to Lin Qingying,
"There are some managers over there who want to meet, let's go over there."
After speaking, he glanced at Xu Nanxing and hesitated to speak.
Drunk, Xu Nanxing did not hide her discomfort, but understood what she wanted to say but did not say.
"You guys go quickly, I'll come find you when I'm done here."
Liu Lili sighed and pushed Lin Qingying.
"Qingying, you go first. I'll have a word with Nanxing!"
Seeing Lin Qingying's figure walking away, she looked around, held Xu Nanxing's hand and said,
"Nan Xing, don't force anything, protect yourself first."
Xu Nanxing's eyes felt hot, but he immediately endured it.
"I know."
Liu Lili patted her face and stepped into the bustling room again...
The rare quietness in the corridor.
Dizziness hit, Xu Nanxing was a little unsteady, holding on to the wall to pant.
I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol. She closed her eyes, but the man's face flashed back and forth in her mind, and a thin and dense cobweb was cast in her heart, trapping her and unable to break free.
There are waves of fragrance floating in the air.
Xu Nanxing opened his eyes and walked over following the scent.
Xu Zhinian was waiting at the corner and saw her staggering by, but he didn't help her. He just stepped aside and pointed forward.
"Ms. Xu, Mr. Gu lives in Furongju."
Xu Nanxing's heart trembled.
The Furong Residence of Haichen Hotel is not accessible to ordinary people. It was originally built as a place for Haichen Group to entertain distinguished guests.
Before it was put into use, the Haichen Group was acquired by the Gu family for some reasons. I heard that Furong Residence has become a temporary residence for the Gu family when they return to Jingzhou.
It is said that there are two hibiscus trees planted inside. They are unknown how old they are. Every year during the flowering period, they crowd the courtyard with lush greenery. From a distance, it looks like two pink clouds cover that area of the sky.
She walked through the deep cloister and passed the stairs down to the courtyard.
The rich aroma hit his face, and Xu Nanxing took a deep breath.
The moonlight casts a silvery glow, and dense green plants circle the corners of the courtyard. The yellow-white slender flower stems are hidden in the overwhelming green. They sway in the moonlight, trembling like little demons about to burst out of the flowers. .
Smelling this familiar aroma, Xu Nanxing's thoughts gradually drifted away.
Although my mind was confused, I didn't forget why I came here.
She rubbed her forehead and walked towards the antique building.
The door was ajar, and she pushed it open and went in.
There were no big lights on in the huge hall. Only the corner lamp above the piano in the corner gave out a sparse and faint light, illuminating the only glimmer of light in the room.
She asked tentatively,
"anyone there?"
But no one responded.
There was a faint light coming from the stairs on the second floor. She wanted to go up the stairs, but she stood there and hesitated for a while. She turned to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room under the moonlight and looked at the sea of flowers in the courtyard in trance.
Gu Huaizhi opened his eyes and looked at the figure through the carved partition.
The gaze slides from the slender neck to the snow-white waist that can be tied with a pinch of fingers. There is a hint of amorous feelings in the dividing line between rose pink and white.
The moonlight shone on her through the window lattice.
The beauty stands in a clear light, like the person in the painting.
I don't know how much time passed, but it was so long that Xu Nanxing felt a dull pain in the soles of his feet, and it was so long that his phone dinged with several messages.
Xu Nanxing took out his phone and took a look.
——It was Liu Lili who asked her when she would go back.
She thought for a while and replied with a few words.
Below Liu Lili's message, there is an unread message, which is from her sister asking her when she will go back.
Xu Nanxing looked at it for a few seconds, considered it for a while, and then replied,
"Go back now."
Rest screen.
She bent down and rubbed her sore calves, then turned and walked out.
After walking a few steps, there was a click from the door and the sound of the electronic lock. Xu Nanxing was stunned.
Eyes searching everywhere.
In the spacious house, only the furniture stood quietly in the night.
Her eyes moved to the carved screen on the side, and beyond the hollow patterns, she could vaguely see an outline.
She thought for a moment and stayed where she was.
After a long time, there was movement behind the carved screen, and the lights in the room turned on.
Almost instantly, Xu Nanxing recognized the figure.
His aggressiveness in front of others has faded. At this moment, he is more elegant and calm. The collar of his shirt is casually open and the cuffs are rolled up to his elbows.
The exposed arms have beautiful lines and texture that extend upward into the shirt. I wonder what kind of attractive scenery is hidden inside.
Xu Nanxing swallowed slightly, barely visible in his throat.
Gu Huaizhi sat down on the sofa outside and pointed to the seat next to him.
"sit!"
The man was leaning on the back of the sofa, his expression obscured by the light and shadow.
The room was quiet for a while. Xu Nanxing could clearly hear the heartbeat in his chest.
She paused for a moment, then walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Why come here?"
The man's deep and melodious voice sounded, and Xu Nanxing felt a little embarrassed.
Squeeze the phone and let go.
Her palms were wet again, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She coughed twice,
"Your assistant said you wanted to listen to the piano..."
"Why come here?"
Gu Huaizhi didn't let her finish, and asked again in an accentuated tone.
Xu Nanxing was stunned for a moment, then whispered,
"Work arranged by the company."
Gu Huaizhi's eyes fell on Xu Nanxing's face, trying to see something from it, but he didn't see any expression other than drunkenness.
Xu Nanxing felt a little uneasy under his burning gaze and moved awkwardly. Then she saw him leaning forward, feeling for the cigarette case on the coffee table and taking out a cigarette without lighting it. He held it on his fingertips and played with it.
"Don't have any ideas?"
Xu Nanxing was stunned for a moment, looking confused, and then understood what he meant.
"No, I..."
"Not what?" Gu Huaizhi's long fingers slid back and forth on the cigarette, "You didn't come with a purpose, didn't you want to get something?"
"Just work?"
His long eyes glanced over lazily, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
Xu Nanxing was furious in her heart, her face turned even redder, and her chest panted violently due to anger, and she said angrily,
"Yeah, just work!"
Gu Huaizhi looked over with his narrow eyes, his eyes dark and dark, shining with a different kind of starry light in the night.
Xu Nanxing turned away slightly under such gaze, glanced at his expression from the corner of his eye, and then lowered his eyebrows.
"If Mr. Gu doesn't want to listen to piano music anymore, then I'll take my leave now. I still have work to do."
Gu Huaizhi's eyes were fixed on her face, and he gently pinched the outer skin of the cigarette with his fingertips and exerted slight pressure.
The cigarette broke into two pieces and fell on the carpet, and little bits of tobacco fell at his feet.
Although he didn't make a sound, the uneasy feeling of oppression enveloped Xu Nanxing from a short distance away.
After hesitating for a long time, she stood up as if she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mr. Gu, if you don't respond I'll take it as your consent."
After saying that, he said as if he was angry,
"Next time you want to listen to piano music, please arrange for your assistant to contact my agent. Goodbye!"
She moved lightly, feeling pain in the soles of her feet. She paused for a second and walked away.
There were still a few steps away from the door. Xu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't tell what kind of emotions he felt in his heart. He was thankful, disappointed, and regretful...
But deep down, I still felt relieved that I could leave here as soon as possible.
There were footsteps behind her, and her heart tightened. She stepped faster, but still took a step slower.
His warm chest pressed against her back, his waving hands were tightened by his strong arms, and she was pressed against the wall by him.
Xu Nanxing bumped his nose against the wall and groaned, feeling angry in his heart. He was about to scream, but when he heard the voice in his ear, he gradually stopped struggling.
Gu Huaizhi's warm lips touched her ear, which seemed tender but cold.
"Xu Nanxing, I said - if I see you again, I won't mind destroying you with my own hands!"
