Chapter 148: Chapter 133: Girlfriend_2
Lin Xian, as a member of the fashion circle, naturally noticed at a glance that Chu Anqing’s outfit was not cheap.
But on second thought, it made sense. As Chu Shanhe’s most presentable “treasure,” how could she not show off at such an important Donghai Chamber of Commerce New Year’s Eve dinner, her own event?
“Just now my dad kept dragging me around to greet uncles and aunts.”
Chu Anqing said while holding Zhao Yingjun’s hand:
“Actually, I saw you guys earlier and wanted to come over to say hello... but I couldn’t get away from there, so I only came over to find you when I got a chance.”
Having said this,
...
Chu Anqing looked up at Lin Xian with a smile:
“Senior Lin Xian, now everyone is calling you East Sea 007! It has already spread throughout the school! Now you have a lot of junior fans waiting for you to go back and give another lecture.”
“Forget it,”
remembering the last time and the classroom void of any juniors, Lin Xian felt a bit ridiculous:
“This is not something to brag about, and I dare not do it again.”
...
Zhao Yingjun watched the two chatting happily with a smile.
Women understand women best.
She guessed the origin of Lin Xian’s invitation the moment Chu Anqing came looking for him.
Ordinarily, Lin Xian, who was not a member of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, would have raised some doubts with his presence here, wouldn’t he?
But looking at her now... it’s as if she already knew Lin Xian would come.
She glanced at the two of them and smiled:
“An Qing, such a lively dance party is rare, why haven’t you thought about dancing?”
“No one has invited me.”
Chu Anqing, who was a straightforward girl, spread her hands:
“It’s like this every year, no one dares to dance with me.”
This statement made Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun both laugh.
Of course.
This would have been one thing at school,
but on Chu Shanhe’s turf, during Chu Shanhe’s party, under Chu Shanhe’s watchful eye, to invite his precious little daughter to dance...
How clueless would someone have to be to do such a thing?
Maybe if someone did invite her, Chu Shanhe wouldn’t take it seriously, as he might not be so petty.
But...
Who would take that bet?
The dragon’s reverse scale isn’t always a deadly touch, but still, no one dares to touch it.
Lin Xian tried to put himself in Chu Shanhe’s shoes... If he had such a beautiful, cute, and pretty daughter at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and a boy was embracing her in a waltz...
Hiss!
Her water blue dress swirled in the air, accompanying Chu Anqing’s elegant and supple dance movements, as if painting a landscape imagery.
It was breathtakingly beautiful.
...
In a corner of the hall.
Zhao Yingjun held her glass of red wine, swaying the vivid liquid inside, smiling as she watched the blue blossom swirling in the center of the dance floor.
“May I have this dance?”
A slightly immature male voice came from behind.
“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit tired,” Zhao Yingjun said without turning around, directly declining.
But then she sensed something was off.
Why did that voice sound so young?
She turned around and saw a fair-skinned youth with slightly curly hair, dressed in a black suit with a black bow tie, his eyes weary but his body half-bowed, smiling at her.
Zhao Yingjun was surprised; this was someone who should not have been there:
“Ji Lin?”
She stood up politely, facing the youth who also straightened up. Because she wore high heels, she was a bit taller than Ji Lin:
“What a surprise, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“You know me?”
“Mr. Ji, you jest, you’re now a hot figure in the entertainment industry, there’s been plenty about you in the news lately.”
“That’s quite a coincidence, Miss Zhao, as it happens I also recognize you.”
Ji Lin smiled slightly, pinching his keychain adorned with a cute Rhine Cat Doll:
“I really like this cat from your company, I’d like to write a novel about it, so I came specifically to greet you and ask for authorization, may I?”
“Of course, you may.”
Zhao Yingjun could tell Ji Lin was joking and responded in kind:
“But the Rhein Cat’s authorization is not cheap... If you’re willing to take it with you to the Oscars ceremony to accept an award, though, there might be a discount.”
“That’s a pity then,” Ji Lin replied with a smile, shaking his head:
“I had no plans to attend the award ceremony in person. But if it’s convenient... please pass a message to the designer for me, I hope he can create a Gothic-style Rhein Cat, I’m really looking forward to that contrast.”
“Why don’t you give that feedback directly to him?”
Zhao Yingjun pointed to Lin Xian in the dance floor, twirling with the blue elf:
“That’s Lin Xian, the creator of the Rhein Cat. You have a rare opportunity to talk to him later; he seems to really enjoy your novel, so your suggestion might be well received.”
“Oh, that’s him.” Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Xian laughing and swaying with Chu Anqing, then looked up at Zhao Yingjun:
“Isn’t he the one who was dancing with you earlier?”
“Yes, he was.”
“Then I’d like to ask presumptuously...”
Ji Lin gestured toward Chu Anqing, his interest piqued as he looked at Zhao Yingjun:
“Between you two... who exactly is his girlfriend?”
