Chapter 386: Chapter 382:
“It’s like saying this President Li is unimportant!”
Not even Li Tingze’s assistant dares to look at their president now.
You know, usually, those who dare to say such things to him are… particularly miserable.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and the air seemed filled with an oppressive and suffocating presence, Lu Xiao looked at Li Tingze with an indifferent expression and extended his hand to hold Wen Xian’s for him:
“So President Li and my fiancée know each other. We would be pleased if you could attend our wedding in the future.”
However, as he took his hand, their gazes instantly met.
Lu Xiao’s eyes held a calm sharpness, while Li Tingze’s eyes revealed a hint of a dark and paranoid undercurrent.
The two men stared intently at each other, as if an unspoken gunpowder surrounded them.
The force of their handshake was strong.
But no matter how strong, Li Tingze could not match Lu Xiao, a former special forces soldier.
His handsome face turned slightly pale.
When they finally released each other’s hands, he suddenly let out a light chuckle.
One hand slipped smoothly into the pocket of his suit pants; with the other, he pinched his champagne glass, tilted his head back, and downed it in one go. Then, staring at Lu Xiao, he said:
“You two are getting married?”
Lu Xiao’s lips curled slightly, “Why, is President Li thinking about contributing a gift?”
At these words, Li Tingze chuckled softly.
Then, turning his gaze to Wen Xian, he stated directly:
“As long as they’re not married, she’s still single. Anyone can pursue her. My friend, let’s not speak too soon; it’s not yet decided whose home the flower will fall into.”
With those words, the atmosphere immediately became taut as if swords were drawn.
The meaning behind his words was all too clear.
Li Xun almost died of fright hearing this.
This man really dared to speak his mind.
Lu Xiao was not an ordinary man and certainly not one to be trifled with.
Lu Xiao stared him down, gripping the champagne glass in his hand, and suddenly tilted his head back and drained it. Then, holding the now empty glass, he abruptly—
“Crack,” the glass shattered suddenly in the palm of his hand.
Li Xun’s eyes nearly bulged out.
Lu Xiao then looked at him and said lightly with a smile, “Is that so? We shall see.”
Lu Xiao and Wen Xian left to find seats, while Li Tingze kept his gaze fixed on Lu Xiao’s retreating back, lips curling up slightly, though his body radiated an ominous aura.
Things were becoming increasingly fascinating.
He snapped his fingers suddenly.
“President Li,” the assistant approached.
Li Tingze, however, continued to stare intently at Lu Xiao’s figure, and said, “Check, I want to know exactly who he is.”
For some reason, his subconscious told him that this person was definitely not simple.
There was something about him that he hated the most.
Stubborn, harsh, and what else—?
Had this man been a soldier?
That feeling, it was like he had been in the army.
The dinner party was already underway, with course after course of exquisite Michelin dishes being served up.
Wen Xian and Lu Xiao sat together with Sister Ling by their side, chatting and laughing together. Especially Wen Xian, who even took the initiative to pick food for him, seemingly unaffected by any of the recent events.
Li Tingze’s gaze grew even more inscrutable upon seeing this scene.
Wen Xian was looking at him with such eyes – it was clear to see, the fondness in the depths of her gaze for him.
And right now, in fact—
Sister Ling, listening to Wen Xian’s words, felt chills run down her spine and had to force herself to remain seated.
Just now, Lu Xiao had asked Wen Xian why she didn’t tell him about their previous acquaintance.
Wen Xian’s lips suddenly seemed as if they were coated in honey.
