Chapter 385: Chapter 382
Although he had never met this man before, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At that moment, Lu Xiao seemed to sense someone watching him and directly looked up to catch the gaze.
His deep eyes were slightly chilling.
At the moment of their collision, his slender eyes deepened a bit, as if he had guessed instantly who this person was.
Wen Xian faintly sensed something and looked over as well.
However, as she saw him, her complexion slightly changed.
Upon seeing Li Tingze’s appearance, she had a complete reaction to everything.
So, the person financing the promotional expenses for the group was him!?
Watching as the man’s gaze shifted toward her, the corners of his lips lightly curved up, and then he unexpectedly stood up, holding a champagne glass as he walked over unhurriedly.
His assistant immediately followed him.
Seeing this, Li Xun stood up somewhat nervously as well.
As Wen Xian watched him approach, her lips tightly pressed, and her expression became complex and subtle.
This man was indeed the same one she had met on the plane when flying back from Qinghai.
Back then, he had given her his business card, chatted her up, and even asked to take her out for coffee.
But how could she bother with him? She thought by ignoring it, it would be over, yet he had decided to approach her in person.
Wen Xian felt somewhat displeased.
She really didn’t want anyone to disrupt her relationship with Lu Xiao.
As Li Tingze came closer, Lu Xiao looked towards him but with an extremely cold and detached demeanor, void of any emotion.
It seemed, as a rival, he didn’t consider him significant at all.
But, he was very accurate at reading people.
This person, at first glance, was definitely not a good sort.
After Li Tingze nonchalantly approached, the assistant took over the waiter’s tray and placed two glasses of champagne in front of Lu Xiao and Wen Xian.
The two glanced at each other and picked up the glasses with composed expressions.
Indeed, Wen Xian felt that encountering him was no big deal.
Mettle meets metal. To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Li Tingze glanced at Lu Xiao and then turned, giving Wen Xian a light laugh as he stretched out a hand, directly saying,
“Long time no see, Miss Wen.”
His face remained expressionless, but his eyes deepened even more.
Wen Xian inwardly clenched her teeth, what nonsense, making it sound as if they were familiar.
Speaking again, ignoring the extended hand, she forced a smile,
“So you’re Mr. Li who has invested in our group. I really thank you for contributing to the cause of animal protection.”
With that, her tone paused, and her wrist inadvertently intertwined with Lu Xiao’s arm, smiling as she said,
“It truly was a coincidence meeting you on the plane from Qinghai, but I’m really sorry, the later invitation to have coffee together totally slipped my mind. You know, as age grows, unimportant things just fade away.”
With these words, she made the nature of their acquaintance crystal clear in a few sentences.
There was no room left for ambiguity, and moreover, she quite impolitely made her stance clear.
Sure enough, Li Tingze’s body slightly startled.
Li Xun, who had hurried over, trembled at these words.
Wow, so they had met before, and he had even asked her out…?
But, she really dared to speak!
Unimportant things, not worth remembering, that was clearly—
