Lee Deming's shrewd eyes kept wandering around Lu Tingyun, who was beside her, secretly thinking in his heart.

This girl, since when did she get to know Lu Tingyun?

After giving it some thought, a smile appeared on his face and he walked toward Lee Zhixia with large strides.

"This … It must be Director Lu! Girl, why aren't you introducing us? "

Lee Zhixia narrowed her eyes. Naturally, she understood what Lee Deming meant. She harrumphed coldly in her heart and was about to say something when she saw Lu Tingyun suddenly smile.

"You must be Zhixia's father! "Hello, I am..." He turned his head slowly to the side and gave Lee Zhixia a sidelong glance. With Lee Deming's personality, if he knew she was married to Lu Tingyun...

"I'm Zhixia's superior."

Lee Zhixia was relieved of the burden immediately after hearing Nie Tian's words, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Hearing his words, Lee Deming was clearly a little disappointed. Seeing the way they were whispering just now, and how intimate they were, he thought … That was true. What kind of status did Lu Tingyun have? How could he marry Zhixia?!

I wonder who exactly is the man that married Lee Zhixia …

However … Judging from the way he addressed Lee Zhixia, it seems like … These two, had a deep relationship with each other …

Thinking about this, Lee Deming immediately put on a flattering smile.

"This kid, Xia, didn't learn anything overseas. Being able to get into CR is purely luck, and I still have to thank you for taking care of me, Director Lu."

When he said that, Lu Tingyun's face, which had a slight smile on it, immediately dropped. His gaze towards Lee Deming also became colder as he said in a deep voice, "Director Li is serious. Miss Lee only came in to investigate after passing the personnel department's exam." The subtext was that without strength, there was no way to enter the CR.

Hearing his words, Lee Deming's face turned pale, and he could only smile in embarrassment.

Lee Zhixia's eyes flashed when she heard this. She instinctively raised her head and glanced at Lu Tingyun's straight chin. Her heart was slightly moved.

Ever since she was young, she had never learned anything in Lee Deming's eyes. She never thought that Lu Tingyun would actually protect her …

Just as he was lost in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out in his ears.

He saw Ling Zhan, who was wearing a traditional Chinese tunic, walking slowly towards them. He glanced at Lee Zhixia in the crowd with a sharp gaze. There seemed to be a dark wave flowing in his eyes as he walked quickly towards them.

"Xia? When did you return home? "

She didn't expect Ling Zhan to greet her so quickly. She frowned and subconsciously looked around. As expected, everyone around her had their gazes fixed on her.

Helpless, he could only smile faintly.

"I haven't been back for long, so I didn't make it in time to pay a visit to Grandpa Ling. My apologies."

"What's wrong with that? I've treated you as my own granddaughter since I was young, why would I care about such things?" As he spoke, his gaze also quickly fell on Lu Tingyun, who was beside Lee Zhixia.

"This is …" That brat from Lu Family! I really didn't expect that you would come and help me say hello to your grandfather. "

"Yes, oh, by the way, this is a gift that grandpa prepared for you. He specifically asked me to bring it over for you."

Lu Tingyun took it and smiled as he handed it over to Old Man Ling. Then, he glanced at the other gift box in his hand and stuffed it into Lee Zhixia's hands. He smiled as he said, "You really are quite the lunatic. You even forgot to take the gift that you prepared for Grandpa Ling."

What?

When did she prepare a present for …

He lowered his eyes and stared at the gift box in his hands. He was stunned for a few seconds before slowly reacting. Lifting his head, he smiled at Ling Tian as he handed the gift over to Ling Zhan.

Old Man Ling squinted his eyes for a moment as he carefully examined the two of them. A satisfied smile rose on his face as he ordered the assistant to put away the gift before speaking in a bland voice.

"Alright, I won't disturb you youngsters anymore …"

Lee Zhixia smiled stiffly and lowered her head. She didn't say anything else, but suddenly, she heard Lu Tingyun's soft voice from above her.

"Can you dance?"

Lee Zhixia blinked, not understanding his meaning as she lightly nodded her head.

She knew how to dance, and her grandfather had always taught her how to dance, play the zither, and draw in noble schools.

However, what was he going to do with this question? Did he want to dance with her?

Suddenly, Lu Tingyun held her hand and walked to the dance floor. The song was very fast and she couldn't react in time, so she could only follow his dance steps and spin.

While they were moving, his strong big hands were constantly dragging her slender waist, and the tip of his nose was completely filled with the faint fragrance that was emitted from his body. Lee Zhixia even felt that she was a little unable to breathe, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, causing Lu Tingyun, who was dancing, to appear extremely enchanted.

She lowered her eyes and exhaled deeply, secretly praising him in her heart. This man … He really was a monster, he was too good-looking!

Looking at her infatuated expression, a faint smile slowly appeared on Lu Tingyun's lips. He spun her around and did a lifting motion.

The two of them danced in a very standard manner, especially Lee Zhixia. She was already beautiful to begin with and was currently wearing a bright red dress. As she danced, her dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy.

After the dance ended, the entire audience burst into thunderous applause.

Bai Yufeng, who was standing in the corner, seemed to be focused on this scene. His hands, which were hanging by his side, were tightly clenched.

Lu Tingyun lowered his eyes, stared at her and smiled. He then suggested in a soft voice, "I just happen to have something to discuss with Old Man Ling. Why don't you go sit on the side and rest for a while?"

What he said hit Lee Zhixia squarely in the heart. It had been a long time since she had danced for so long, and suddenly she felt her legs cramp a little.

"Great!" Then … Should I go take a rest? "

Lu Tingyun nodded and watched her walk to the red sofa not far from him and sit down. Only then did he walk towards Old Man Ling with a sense of relief.

"Xia."

On the other side, Lee Zhixia had just sat down on the sofa when a warm voice suddenly traveled to her ears.

Lee Zhixia's entire body tensed up when she heard this familiar voice. She held her skirt tightly in her hand and slowly turned around hesitantly. Her heart tightened as she met the pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars …
