C1 Misunderstanding

Even though the night was in the middle of summer and there was no sunlight shining on it, it was still so hot that people couldn't stop their sweat from dripping down.

Lian Xin had just taken a shower and had lost all the heat from his body. His long hair flowed down his shoulders and water droplets rolled down his white face. That Ice Muscle Jade Bone Immortal didn't seem like it was supposed to exist in the human world.

She knew that her appearance would often cause her a lot of trouble, so she usually wore a short wig to cover up most of her face. She even went to find a pair of large black-rimmed glasses to hide the majority of her face.

"Drip, drip …"

The voice of the text message sounded especially loud in this silent environment.

"Be there before 6 PM. Don't be late."

The fingers holding the phone couldn't help but tighten as a trace of struggle flashed across Lian Xin's face. However, it finally calmed down.

She had no choice.

At 6 o'clock sharp, Lian Xin punctually arrived at the main gate of Ting Xuan.

Ting Xuan was the largest inn in A City. Anyone with a bit of status would choose to host a banquet here to show off their position and establish a relationship with the nobility.

The interior was decorated with dazzling splendor, it was not a place that ordinary people could enter.

Lian Xin was a bit nervous, but he secretly encouraged himself. For her own goal, she had to accomplish today's mission.

Using the invitation the man had given her, she easily snuck into the scene of the engagement.

She was wearing a chiffon skirt that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her normally covered hair was casually draped over her shoulders, making her small face look even more exquisite.

In order to reach her goal for today, she even made herself a light makeup. She, who was both fresh and natural and had extraordinary charisma, unknowingly became the focus of everyone present.

Lian Xin took a glass of champagne from the waiter, but didn't drink it.

Very quickly, she found her employer, who was also the main character of today's engagement banquet, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Ling.

When Gu Ling saw Lian Xin from afar, she didn't dare to show any reaction. She just casually walked past and said, "Come with me."

Lian Xin naturally didn't have any objections as he silently followed.

As he walked, he observed his surroundings from the corner of his eyes.

She had to find the best way for her to escape.

Today was the engagement scene of the young miss of the Gu family, Gu Ling, who was the Duan family's second young master. But who would have thought that this Gu Ling young miss would actually spend money to invite her to cause trouble?

Although she didn't believe in buddhas, Lian Xin couldn't help but think about the Amitabha in his heart. If she wasn't really in such a desperate situation, she wouldn't do such a wicked thing.

Gu Ling led Lian Xin through the crowd to the other side of the banquet.

As one of the protagonists, as soon as Gu Ling arrived, she was naturally surrounded by the crowd, leaving Lian Xin outside.

Under Gu Ling's gaze, Lian Xin knew that the other protagonist of today's show should be the man in front of him.

From the looks of it, this man should be around 1.85 meters tall and tall. At first glance, he looked somewhat thin, but if one looked closely, it was not difficult to see that the body under the suit should be muscular. His entire body was filled with a masculine aura and did not have the slightest sense of femininity.

This seemed to be similar to the information he had obtained previously, yet at the same time a little different.

There was another man standing next to the man. From the side, he looked quite handsome, but his flattering smile caused him to lose quite a bit of points.

Under the crowd's encirclement, Gu Ling didn't forget to wink at Lian Xin, indicating that Lian Xin should hurry forward and not waste time.

Lian Xin was a bit conflicted. However, when he thought about his lack of money, he felt that there was no longer any room for hesitation.

Besides, they were already here. Even if they didn't do it, they had to!

He took two steps forward and grabbed the man's hand with one hand. With the other, he poured the untouched champagne onto the man's body.

"You ungrateful person. At first, you even promised to marry me, but today, you actually carried me to this place. Even if I'm willing, the child in my stomach isn't!"

Lian Xin squeezed out a face full of tears as he sorrowfully looked at the "heartless man" in front of him, wailing nonstop.

But as he cried, he felt that something wasn't right.

Wasn't it too quiet around here?

Originally, she had planned this with Gu Ling. After she cried and complained, the surroundings would definitely become 'lively' because of her words. When that happens, she can just take advantage of the chaos to escape, but why is it so quiet here?

It seemed that this was not in accordance with the nature of the heavens to watch the show.
