Ou Mucen’s brow finally furrowed, and at the same time, his expression began to sour.
If he truly knew the man, then, considering the grudge between him and that man, he guessed tomorrow’s exhibit wouldn’t go smoothly.
However, what surprised him was that La Shiwen, who stood beside him, denied it, "As far as I know, the organizer doesn’t know this Lin Yebai. It seemed they got to him through many connections."
They don’t know each other?
Ou Mucen’s gaze deepened as he stared ahead!
They don’t know each other but are so generous?
It was weird, on the stage ahead, Lin Yebai, who had been persistently pushed, finally accepted the president’s gift. After that, everyone saw him holding the Jade Pendant as he came down from the stage, making his way to the front of the crowd where a young girl with short hair stood.
She was a refreshingly clean-cut girl, her chestnut short hair slightly fluffy in the most fashionable pear flower curl, revealing a full forehead. Her features were delicate, and although not as exquisite as the other women in the hall, her lightly made-up face made her stand out in this setting, appearing even more eye-catching.
Lin Yebai walked over, and before so many people, he approached her like the most elegant gentleman, "Aning..."
Ye Ning was a bit stunned; things were happening too fast, and she still couldn’t quite recover.
Not until she suddenly saw him take her hand, pulling her out from the crowd, then before everyone, holding the necklace, he leaned in towards her, did she suddenly stiffen, her hands instinctively resting against his chest, "Brother Lin, what are you doing?"
"Aning, just... do me a favor, okay?" he whispered gently near her ear, his voice not loud, but the tone was filled with a plea.
Ye Ning’s fingers instantly stiffened!
She opened her mouth slightly, and in an instant, she felt as if something exploded in her mind, leaving it extremely chaotic.
It was at that moment, the shadow of the man looming over her suddenly enlarged, and the next second, she smelled a strong, masculine scent before her, and those hands enveloped her petite shoulders and neck into his embrace.
"Aning, this Jade Pendant really suits you!"
Another hot breath from a man fell near her ear, Ye Ning looked down and realized, a cool sensation on her neck, a very beautiful and unique Jade Pendant now hung over her chest.
Indeed, it was a very beautiful Jade Pendant, especially against the girl’s fair skin, it looked even better.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two, their faces revealing astonishment, envy, and even jealousy at the "couple’s" affection for each other. At this moment, all these emotions were evident on their faces.
La Shiwen was also watching with great interest; he hadn’t expected such a scene at the banquet.
As he was engrossed, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of something breaking near his ear. When he turned his head, he realized that the man who had been quietly standing beside him had somehow managed to break the stem of the wine glass he was holding right in the palm of his hand.
