C10 A Woman Who Stood Shoulder to Shoulder with Him
The masquerade ball, each with a fine mask on his face, deceived himself as if it were so unrecognizable.
Su Luo was also one of them. Other than Lyi Sheng, who was beside her, this mask seemed to be able to give her a sense of security.
Little did she know that the purplish-red mask made Su Luo's skin as white as snow and her lips red.
"Go over there and rest for a while. Have something to eat?"
It was unknown whether it was due to the occasion or not, but Lyi Sheng's voice was different from the usual. It was gentle and mellow as if he was about to drown.
Su Luo was a little uncomfortable, but she quickly reacted.
"No... No need. I will just follow by your side."
Lyi Sheng laughed softly when he heard that. The corner of his lips curled up. He seemed very happy.
This was the first time Su Luo had seen Lyi Sheng smile like this. She did not know what she had said wrong to provoke Mr Lyi like this, so she could only hold Lyi Sheng's arm tightly.
There were too many people at the banquet, and they were all elites in society. This also meant that everyone here was very shrewd. Su Luo knew that she was not good at dealing with these people. She was afraid of being alone.
"Ah, open your mouth."
While she was in a daze, Lyi Sheng suddenly opened his mouth with a coaxing tone. In his hand was a small piece of cake.
Su Luo unconsciously opened her mouth slightly when the sweet and greasy taste melted in her mouth. Su Luo suddenly woke up and her cheeks turned red.
"Be good." Lyi Sheng casually put the remaining cake into his mouth. He rubbed Su Luo's slightly curled hair and his eyes were full of pampering.
Su Luo's face was even hotter and her head was almost buried in her chest. The eyes that were shooting at her were full of aggression and almost tore her apart.
She roughly understood the purpose of Lyi Sheng bringing her here, and the reason for the sudden change.
It felt like she was a shield to help him block the peach blossom shield, but she was forcefully pushed to the public's eyes.
Lyi Sheng's identity was not simple. He would not be an ordinary teacher in an educational institution. Su Luo had already known this in her heart, but no one told her what kind of person Lyi Sheng was.
According to the current situation, Lyi Sheng's influence seemed to be quite big.
"Manager Li, girlfriend?"
Someone came over with wine to hit on Su Luo. He seemed to be a highly respected person in his fifties, but his eyes were directly on Su Luo's chest.
Su Luo was a little disgusted by this kind of gaze and hid behind Lyi Sheng.
Lyi Sheng was even more straightforward and directly pulled Su Luo into his arms. He turned his body sideways and started to eat seriously.
The boss stood awkwardly at the side, but his skin was so thick that it exceeded Su Luo's imagination.
"I wonder if Director Li would be willing to share a drink with this humble one?"
Lyi Sheng picked up a piece of cake and put it into Su Luo's mouth. Then, he turned his head slowly and gave that person two glances.
"You are not qualified. In addition, take care of your eyes. Otherwise, I don't mind destroying them for you."
Lyi Sheng's words were very blunt. His face was red and green. How interesting.
Su Luo buried herself in Lyi Sheng's arms and called out in her heart, "Good." The pastries in her mouth became more and more delicious.
The result of extreme joy and sadness was that when she stepped out of Lyi Sheng's embrace, Su Luo saw the bright lipstick mark on the white shirt with a glance.
"Li. Mr Lyi, I'm sorry. "
Su Luo carefully pointed at the lip print cloth on Lyi Sheng's chest. She quietly looked up to see Lyi Sheng's reaction but was caught by Lyi Sheng.
The hand that was wrapped around her waist exerted force and Su Luo crashed into Lyi Sheng's arms again. There was a similar lip mark next to the lipstick mark.
This time, she was dead for sure. She was finished. Su Luo did not even dare to raise her head.
"Good things come in pairs."
A low voice entered her ears. Su Luo was still lying in Lyi Sheng's arms. She could clearly feel the vibration of his chest when he spoke, as well as his rhythmic and powerful heartbeat.
"He's going to die. He's going to die. Mr Lyi is so good at flirting. He's full of tricks even when he's acting. It would be strange if big brother doesn't fall for him."
Su Luo did not know where to think. She even said what she was thinking and quickly covered her mouth.
Lyi Sheng reached out to take away Su Luo's hand that was covering her lips. He bent down and whispered into Su Luo's ear, "What are you thinking and what did you say?"
Su Luo opened her mouth and spat out a word, "You."
Lyi Sheng's smile became more and more obvious. He flicked two fingers on Su Luo's forehead.
"Hiss... painful." Su Luo covered her forehead.
"Follow me."
Not far away, a couple with white hair was standing. They were looking in Lyi Sheng's direction with smiles on their faces.
"Teacher, teacher's mother."
If it wasn't just now, this kind of smile was Lyi Sheng's sincere smile. It wasn't a cold smile or an exaggerated fake smile.
These two people were very important to Mr Lyi.
"Sheng, not bad. Miss is not bad. It saves your mother from worrying that no one will take your paralyzed face."
"Puchi." Su Luo, who was standing beside Lyi Sheng, could not help but laugh. It turned out that she was not the only one who thought Lyi Sheng was paralyzed.
Lyi Sheng helplessly looked at Su Luo, who was laughing happily beside him, and quietly waited for his teacher to continue speaking.
"Let's go. Let's have a good talk and leave some space for your mother and... mm, your mother-in-law."
The old man's face was red and very approachable. Su Luo liked them very much. But when she heard that she was going to separate from Lyi Sheng, she could not help but tug at the corner of Lyi Sheng's clothes.
"It's okay." Lyi Sheng held Su Luo's hand and pulled it to his lips. He lightly kissed the back of Su Luo's hand and left with his teacher.
Su Luo was stunned on the spot. She only reacted after Lyi Sheng's teacher's mother called her twice.
"Ah! Auntie, I'm sorry. I was distracted."
"It's fine. Come, let's sit down and talk. I know you young people are very sick of dating. My old man is not someone who doesn't know what to do. He will send your Sheng back soon."
"Your Sheng...
Su Luo's face turned red again.
"Auntie, actually... Mr Lyi and I..." Before Su Luo could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by her mother.
She was really a talkative old lady... Su Luo was very conflicted...
"Follow Sheng and call me my mother. Speaking of which, why are you calling me master's mother so externally? "Or do you guys love to call me brother and sister?"
"Other than being talkative, well, your imagination is also very big.
Su Luo laughed until her face was about to stiffen.
"Hey, you're getting old. I don't understand you young people anymore."
After saying that, Mistress looked up and down Su Luo several times and turned her head several times in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of Sheng's foresight. It's just that his skin is too thin and he is easily shy."
Listening to the old man's nagging self talk, Su Luo felt a little headache, but the other party did not have any ill intentions. Furthermore...
Grandma was also this kind in the past. It was a pity that time does not spare people.
"Martial Mother, do you want to eat something? I'll get it for you."
Grandmistress waved her hand, indicating that she did not need it.
"This place is too messy. You're easily bullied. Just sit, just sit."
Su Luo felt her heart ache. The tip of her nose was slightly sore. She felt that her eyes must have turned red.
"Thank you."
Mistress pulled Su Luo's hand and wrapped it around her own hand. She patted it kindly, "You are not used to this kind of environment, right? Sheng really is. Why did he bring you to this kind of foul place?"
The purpose of Lyi Sheng bringing her here was not just to stop those troublesome women. It was more likely that he was here to see these two old men.
Su Luo did not know the details, but Su Luo believed that Lyi Sheng must have his own reasons. She just needed to cooperate.
"Martial Mother, I can't hide behind Sheng forever. What Sheng wants is a woman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
