Just as the three of them were caught in an awkward situation, Ji Zimings hand was suddenly grabbed by a slender hand. Everyones eyes turned to the owner of this hand. She was wearing a scribbled fox mask, which accentuated her exquisite figure, and a sparkling floor-length dress that wrapped around her hips. Under the dazzling lights, she looked s.e.xy and charming.

Just as she was guessing, she spoke. It was si linnas familiar voice.

President Ji, didnt you say that youd dance with me for the first time? Why did you secretly go back on your word? Im really not happy about this! As she said that, she gently brushed her thumb across his thin lips.

For some reason, when she saw si linna being so intimate with Ji Ziming, she turned her head away slightly, feeling upset. Actually, she knew that he was a frivolous and boastful person, but she still found it hard to accept when she actually saw it.

Although the uneasiness on Ji Zimings face was covered by the mask, everyone could still sense it. They could clearly see his right hand pus.h.i.+ng away si linnas slender hand in disgust.

Si linna thought that Ji Ziming had angered Sir and was about to question him, but he coldly said,Si linna, what nonsense are you saying? Ill dance with you! Come! As she said this, she took si linnas hand and walked to the center of the dance floor.

Seeing si linna and Ji Ziming dance in the middle of the dance floor, PEI GEs face under the mask trembled slightly. She actually wondered why she did not immediately agree to his dance request.

Thats right, its not to satisfy our intimacy, but to ease and pull our relations.h.i.+p closer,she repeatedly reminded herself.

Pei Pei, whats wrong? Cheng Ningyuan asked when he saw her staring blankly at the crowd on the dance floor.

She laughed dryly.Oh, its nothing. I just think that I was too rash. You also think that I was a little harsh when I spoke to him, right?

Cheng Ningyuan was also wearing a mask, so she could only see his quick-witted eyes blink before he replied in a deep voice,Didnt he let you down? Such a tone was expected. However, for the sake of the big picture, we should first please him and endure it for now.

Ning Yuan, I didnt expect you, an inexperienced child, to be able to see through things so clearly. Im still not as good as you after all. Sigh. Sighing, she took another sip of the champagne.

Dont drink so much. You havent eaten anything yet, and you havent even tried to get close to him. Do you expect me to carry a drunkard home from a party with so many people? Cheng Ningyuans voice was still cold, but she could tell that he was concerned about her. He even s.n.a.t.c.hed the cup from her hand as he spoke.

This is champagne, you wont get drunk after a few sips. Besides, I know why Im here. Isnt there a saying that alcohol can boost ones courage? This is the first time Ive been to such an occasion in my memory. How can I move without drinking, right? As she spoke, she reached out to take the gla.s.s of champagne that Cheng Ningyuan had prepared.

But did you know that the champagne youve been drinking has been Ji Ziming s? Cheng Ningyuan held the bottom of the gla.s.s again, not giving her a chance to pick it up.

PEI GE was stunned. She did not expect herself to drink from the wrong cup.

She retracted her hand and asked in a slightly panicked tone,Ning Yuan, you noticed it a long time ago, didnt you? Why didnt you remind me? This If Ji Ziming sees this, how embarra.s.sed will I be?!

With that, she buried her head in her hands and rested her elbows on the bar counter, looking very vexed.

You guys were talking, so it wasnt good for me to interrupt. I thought you would notice, but they had already left to dance, and you picked it up again just now. I just remembered. Cheng Ningyuan said it casually. After a pause, he said,I dont think he noticed it, though. His attention has always been on you.

She shuddered. All of it is on me? Was that really the case?

Just as he was thinking about this, Liu Lina walked over gracefully with a gla.s.s of champagne in her hand.

Cheng Ningyuan and PEI GE were stunned for a moment before they recognized her, for her outfit tonight was indeed stunning.

She was wearing a red, tight-fitting long dress with shoulder-length wavy hair, a single-ear silver ta.s.seled earring, and a pair of s.h.i.+ny 10-centimeter high earrings. It was hard for people to take their eyes off her.

She gently placed the champagne gla.s.s in her hand on the small bar in front of PEI GE and said with a strong breath,If Aileen didnt tell me that you were here, I wouldnt have recognized you. Pei Pei, youre so beautiful tonight!

Liu Lina was not being polite. PEI GE was indeed very beautiful tonight, and the men who pa.s.sed by her could not help but take a few more glances at her. If not for Cheng Ningyuan standing beside her, PEI GE would definitely be surrounded by people.

Thinking that Liu Lina had finally appeared, PEI GE thought that she had gone to play some tricks.

Thinking that if it were not for her suggestion to the man, tonights masked party would not have even existed, she still symbolically raised her gla.s.s of champagne and gave her a thumbs up.INA, I heard that you were the one who suggested tonights masked party. Good idea, at least it looks good for now! Cheers!

Liu Linas mask was the same as PEI GEs and Cheng Ningyuan s; it only covered half of her face, so PEI GE could clearly see the meaningful smile on her lips.

She raised her gla.s.s and lightly clinked it with Liu Lina s. After taking a small sip, Liu Lina moved closer to her.

PEI GE was puzzled and did not know what Liu Lina was up to this time. Liu Lina moved closer to her ear and gently covered her mouth and her ear with one hand. Its actually just to hide his ident.i.ty. You know that he doesnt dare to touch you because he owes you. But Shen Feng and I are different. Previously, in order to resist him, we had no choice but to escape abroad. Now that were back, were all using fake ident.i.ties. If he suddenly decides to call the police and arrest us, even though we have fake information on our ident.i.ties, it will still be very troublesome.

She understood and nodded.

Cheng ning did not know what Liu Lina was trying to do, but he felt that she was trying to bewitch PEI GE again. Taking advantage of the twos silence, he suggested,Ji Ziming and that woman have been dancing for a while. Why dont we go to the center of the dance floor and Exchange partners later? we might have a chance to get closer to him.

Liu Linas eyes brightened. Actually, she had already noticed Cheng Ningyuan earlier, but she had not asked him in detail because she was busy talking to PEI GE.

Now that she heard his deep, s.e.xy, and magnetic voice, she could not help but ask,PEI GE, is this fellow your male companion?
