Li An’an and Fu Yiheng stopped dancing. It could be said that many people stopped what they were doing and looked towards the doorway. Liang Qian’s gown had caused quite a stir.
“This is the woman CEO Chu likes?”
Some people were discussing in whispers. The news that CEO Chu had specially got the gown delivered by a ship had already spread. Many people were curious about the woman who was worthy of such effort by Chu Yichen.
“It looks like it, but she probably doesn’t have a significant family background. She can barely carry off the gown. CEO Chu’s taste is only mediocre!” a woman said sourly.
“You’re jealous. It’s a pity that he’s not taken a fancy to you. Speaking of which, this woman is not simple. Chu Yichen has been celibate for so many years. Some people even suspect that he likes men. Now that he has been conquered by this woman, I’m curious to see who she is! Unfortunately, this is a masquerade ball. Unless she unmasks herself, we won’t know who she is.”
“Don’t worry, even if we didn’t find out tonight. This woman will definitely step up and show herself off to the world tomorrow!”
The people in the crowd whispered among themselves. Almost everyone’s attention was on Liang Qian as they tried to figure out what was going on.
Liang Qian smiled and looked around. She believed that Chu Yichen was already on his way to her!
Li An’an walked to the other side. She wanted to get some wine, but Fu Yiheng was following her, so she had no choice but to get some juice. The sourish-sweet orange juice didn’t make her feel any better. In fact, it made her feel terrible.
Fu Yiheng passed her a piece of cake. “Be a lady! Don’t drink juice like it’s wine.” He reached out and used his slightly rough thumb to wipe away the traces left by the juice at the corner of Li An’an’s mouth. She had indeed drunk too eagerly and treated the juice like it was wine, almost choking herself. However, she was not used to being intimate with Fu Yiheng and reflexively dodged! Fu Yiheng smiled faintly. He shifted his hand to her head and gently stroked it.
In an instant, Li An’an felt that Fu Yiheng was really good.
She smiled.
Fu Yiheng said, “If you don’t like it here, let’s go back early. Anyway, I’ve handed over my gift.”
“What gift?”
“It’s Chu Yichen’s birthday today.”
Li An’an felt her chest tightening up again. So it was his birthday? He had kept it so secretive. Did he think she’d prepare him a gift? She wouldn’t, but he probably didn’t care.
“Finish the cake, I’ll be right back” Fu Yiheng whispered in her ear and walked away.
Li An’an had just nodded when she heard the sound of a glass falling to the ground. Fu Yiheng had accidentally walked into a waiter who was holding a tray of wine in glasses. Although the waiter had reacted quickly, a glass of wine still slipped off the tray and drenched Fu Yiheng’s suit.
“I’m so sorry, sir!” The waiter’s face turned pale and he hurriedly apologized.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.” Fu Yiheng turned around and said to Li An’an, “I’m going to the washroom to tidy up!”
“Sure!” Li An’an wasn’t in the mood to eat. She put down the cake in her hand and Yang Xia came to her side.
“An’an, CEO Fu is such a gentleman. He’s actually not angry at all. Also, the two of you looked really compatible when you were dancing just then! Many people were curious about the two of you, but I didn’t say anything!”
Yang Xia was holding a fruit. “Rose grapes. I heard it’s good for the skin. Do you want some?”
Li An’an shook her head.
Yang Xia keenly sensed that she was in a bad mood and looked forward.
Beside Liang Qian stood an outstanding man in a black suit. That must be CEO
Chu.
And there was also a woman next to CEO Long.. She could understand An’an’s disappointment! CEO Long was fickle-minded!
