–I have admired her for a long time.
When these words fell from his mouth, a silence settled all around them.
Shock could be seen on everyone’s faces.
Lu Huaiyu had actually said that he had admired Ning for a long time?!
Then…
In an instant, everyone present turned to look at Ning Li at the same time!
Surprise, shock, envy… The expressions on everyone’s faces were different.
Ning was in the limelight tonight.
Generally speaking, it was extremely difficult for an ordinary person to build a relationship with a top luxury brand like G&S.
Tonight, however, the Crown Prince, George, had publicly declared that the whole of G&S was willing to support Ning.
When the news had spread, it had attracted the envy and jealousy of countless people.
Who would have known that this would not be the end?
The Lu family’s Second Master, Lu Huaiyu, had also expressed his admiration for Ning in front of the media!
How lucky was it that the actual people in power of these two major financial groups were giving such special treatment to Ning?!
Noticing the envious stares upon her, Ning Li’s lips twitched. However, she felt her entire body stiffen and her neck turn cold.
Her throat tightened. Facing the man’s half-smiling gaze, she felt really uncomfortable!
“I–“
Her lips moved slightly. Just as she started to open her mouth, she was interrupted by George who was next to her with a smile.
“Since Second Master Lu has opened his mouth, we have to give him face.”
As he spoke, he took half a step forward and stood between the two of them.
His expression was especially pure and sincere.
“Ning, let me introduce you. This is the Second Master of the Lu family, Lu Huaiyu.”
“Second Master Lu, this is Ning.”
Ning Li’s breath was stuck in her chest, and her eyebrows were twitching violently.
The people around them were still stunned, but George’s voice was exceptionally clear.
His eyes curved, making him appear to be especially understanding.
He said sincerely, “The two of you shouldn’t be very familiar with each other, but it doesn’t matter. You’ll be able to get to know each other much better now.”
“After all, we’re friends. So, you can just take it as giving me some face?”
Ning Li’s hand trembled slightly.
If it were not for the fact that there were still so many reporters around, she really could not guarantee that George would be able to walk out of this venue in one piece today!
Lu Huaiyu however, was well-behaved.
He took a step forward and stretched out his hand, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
“Ning, it’s nice to meet you.”
Ning Li pursed her lips slightly and finally reached out her hand.
Lu Huaiyu seemed to be very polite and their hands separated as soon as they touched.
It was as if they were really meeting for the first time.
Only a faint trace of warmth remained on her fingertips.
Ning Li looked up at him.
George, however, was already asking with a smile, “Second Master Lu, since you’re here, why don’t go to the celebratory cocktail party with us? Ning will be going as well, so you guys can chat more there.”
Ning Li, “…”
She had not said that she wanted to go!
Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Lu Huaiyu raise his eyebrow and nod.
“Okay.”
Ning Li silently swallowed the rest of her words.
George looked at the crowd full of media in front of him.
“I believe that all the questions have been asked, and we’ve taken all the photos that we should take. We still have to rush to the celebratory cocktail party. Could everyone please give way?”
George was the Crown Prince of G&S, so he had a lot of power to speak. Moreover, Lu Huaiyu was standing here as well.
Everyone tactfully stepped back.
George narrowed his eyes and smiled in satisfaction.
“Ning, shall we go then? You’re the main person tonight. You can’t miss out on this.”
Ning Li closed her eyes.
Forget it, forget it. I don’t have the time and energy to deal with him tonight.
We’ll discuss it another time!
With that thought in mind, she walked out.
Ning Li had originally thought that George had gone to the extreme today with his devilish actions and that he would stop now.
However, she soon realized that this thought was too naive.
Outside the show venue, there was a large open-air parking lot.
The group had just reached the entrance when George raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction. His tone was very warm and familiar.
“Ning, get in my car and go with me. It’s over there. You should know the one that you sat in last time.”
Ning Li glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and saw a familiar white car.
Yes, it was the same one that she and George had been photographed in.
The corners of her eyes twitched again.
“There’s no need.”
She rejected it very straightforwardly.
George blinked. “Why not? Don’t you like it?”
At this moment, Lu Huaiyu happened to be standing beside her.
Yi Bin had gone to fetch the car.
The light smell of cedar wafted over and surrounded her.
She said very firmly, “It’s because your car has the fragrances of more than three different women.”
She looked straight at George.
“It’s time for you to wash the car.”
The smile on George’s face finally cracked.
This was really insulting!
He had only driven this car a few times, where would the smells have come from?!
Ning Li could not be bothered with him.
She turned her head to look at the man standing beside her.
“Second Master Lu, may I get a lift in your car?”
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly but did not make any comment.
“It’s only a ten-minute drive from here to Yishuijian.”
In other words, it did not matter which car they took.
At that moment, some other guests who had come to watch the show were around them.
Many people were looking in their direction.
Ning Li opened her mouth and whispered something.
Lu Huaiyu saw it, but he did not hear it clearly.
“What did you say?”
Ning Li took her phone out.
A moment later, Lu Huaiyu’s phone vibrated.
He looked down and squinted his eyes.
[ Ten minutes is very short, but I just want to smell your body. )
His Adam’s apple moved.
Just then, a black Bentley stopped in front of them.
Yi Bin was driving.
“Second Master?”
Lin Fengmian walked over.
“Sister, are you coming with me?”
He had his own nanny van.
Ning Li put away her phone.
“Sure…”
A lazy and low voice came from the side.
“I have something to ask Ning, so why don’t we go together?”
