C17 Show off Your Love

The two of them did not speak for the rest of the journey. They only stopped when the black Cayenne drove into the entrance of a grand villa.

Lauren was even more nervous, especially when she got off the car. She looked at the spacious courtyard and the well-maintained greenery. There were countless luxury cars parked in front of the courtyard, making it look especially grand.

"Mr. Houghton... Mr. Houghton, may I ask what I should say when I enter later? Do I need to smile?"

Holding onto Layne's arm, Lauren's fingers subconsciously pulled into his suit and forcefully pulled out the wrinkles.

Layne looked down at her and realized that she was really nervous.

However, he was surprisingly fond of her nervous expression.

"Layne's woman is not a saleswoman. She doesn't need to smile at anyone. You can leave your smile to me alone."

Layne's words were filled with a strong desire for possession. He didn't even frown when he said it.

After saying that, he took her and walked into the hall.

The banquet hall was already packed with people. The guests were dressed in beautiful formal clothes and holding champagne and red wine in their hands. They were chatting and laughing under the gorgeous crystal chandelier.

Everyone was very elegant. Some of the famous ladies and daughters were dressing themselves up to the best of their abilities, afraid that they would be outdone in such a grand occasion.

However, the moment Layne and Lauren appeared together, they were undoubtedly the most dazzling pair in the entire banquet hall.

The man was wearing a fitting suit. The shirt inside was made of dark green silk. With his cold aura, it gave off a sense of nobility. His slender and strong body was comparable to an international model. His strong back, long legs, and his entire body was perfect to the point of breaking the rules.

Without a doubt, many women were here for Layne tonight. So when they looked at him, they sent him a wave of affectionate looks.

Standing at the side, Lauren felt terrified from the bottom of her heart. Just a second ago, she had been looking at Layne with admiration, but in the next second, she was looking at him with jealousy and hatred.

"How is it?"

Seeing the group of fierce women, Layne frowned subconsciously. He ignored them and turned his head to ask Lauren in a low voice.

"Not good at all. I feel like these people are looking at monkeys. I'm so nervous. What if I want to tremble?"

Lauren looked at Layne with a mournful face. She was about to cry.

Layne did not expect this little girl to have such a cute side. A smile suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes. "Then why don't you treat everyone like flies and animals? Maybe you won't be nervous like this."

When Lauren heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't that a little bad? Wouldn't it be very rude?"

"They don't know that they might be stared at like this when they go out with me in the future. You have to get used to it quickly!"

Layne said without changing his expression, as he took two glasses of red wine from the waiter and handed one to Lauren.

Taking the glass of red wine from him, Lauren could only accept his suggestion and said, "Then let me try."

She took a deep breath and looked around. She imagined that these people in front of her were flies, animals, and so on.

About ten seconds later, she laughed, "It seems to be really useful. I'm not nervous anymore."

She laughed like a flower, brightening Layne's eyes. Her sexy thin lips could not help but curl up, "That's good. Let's go. I want to go and greet some old friends. Follow me well. Your ex-fiancé is also present, so, put on your best attitude, understand?"

Hearing the words 'ex-fiancé', Lauren's expression immediately turned cold, "Okay!"

In the next half an hour, Layne brought Lauren around the banquet hall. Along the way, there were business people who came up to greet them.

Lauren found that these people who seemed to be middle-aged were more or less flattering Layne when they talked to him.

Layne responded calmly, but he could vaguely feel that he seemed to be a little disgusted with this kind of occasion.

Just like that, after a round, Lauren was tired and the smile on her face was a little stiff.

Layne noticed her situation and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I rarely wear high heels, so my feet hurt a little."

Lauren frowned and said softly.

Layne looked around and suddenly said, "Although I really want you to rest, it seems impossible at the moment. Look ahead. Who is it?"
