C175 The Reception

Ling Muxue turned around abruptly and saw Xiao Qinghan's handsome and tall figure walking towards her.

Hearing Xiao Qinghan's voice, Ling Yiyue said anxiously, "Sister is fine. I'll wait for you!" She hung up the phone anxiously, with a sense of loss.

Ling Muxue was confused. She put down her phone and got up. "It's raining now. I need to go and pick Yiyue up."

"You know it is raining, yet you still want to go. I'll get someone to pick her up." Xiao Qinghan said with extreme displeasure. In fact, today he tried his best to restrain himself from coming to see her, but in the end, he still could not help but want to see her. He knew that Rorai was right, the distance could indeed test if she was used to being concerned about him.

But it had only been a day, and he could not bear her condition, and he did not know if he could bear it.

When she called Ling Yiyue and left on the first day, she did not even think about calling him.

Looking at her good condition, it was as if a knife was cutting into his heart.

Naturally, Ling Muxue didn't reject him. She didn't expect Xiao Qinghan to come back, but the way he was looking at her was plain and unadulterated. What had she done to offend him again?

"We'll return to the manor tomorrow!"

Ling Muxue looked at Xiao Qinghan with a puzzled expression. Why did he suddenly ask her to go back? Although she did not know the reason, she could not go back.

"I'm still used to living here. I don't want to go back." As she refused to speak, she turned her eyes away and didn't dare to look at Xiao Qinghan. She didn't know why her heart would feel a little afraid when she said those words.

Xiao Qinghan looked at the undisguised refusal in her eyes and his dark eyes instantly dimmed and turned sharp. "What exactly are you dissatisfied with? You haven't gotten used to living in the manor for so long? "

"No!" Ling Muxue subconsciously said anxiously. She instantly realized that her reaction was too intense. She paused for a moment and said slowly, "After all, I've lived here for three years and I'm not used to having so many people serving me. I like peace and quiet and this place is very good!"

"Is that all?"

Ling Muxue lowered her head and nodded.

Xiao Qinghan's eyes fell on her for a few seconds and he did not say anything else. "Let's go downstairs and eat!"

Ling Muxue thought that Xiao Qinghan would leave the villa in the Western suburbs at night, but he stayed here. Ling Muxue felt something strange in her heart.

At night she slept with her in his warm arms, trying to tell herself to control her heart, but she missed the feeling of being held by him so much, and the ambivalence of it made her tense up and at a loss.

Xiao Qinghan felt Ling Muxue's entire body stiffen. She was rejecting him just like that. His dark eyes darkened, and he let go of her. He suddenly got up and walked over, picked up the coat on the clothes rack, and walked towards the door.

Ling Muxue felt a chill run down her spine. She subconsciously turned around and looked up at Xiao Qinghan's back as he left. She wanted to stop him, but the words were stuck in her throat.

And so she watched him disappear through the door, and the door closed with a click, and her heart jumped with the sound of the door closing. Was he gone?

She didn't sleep for the whole night.

The next day, she did not see Xiao Qinghan at all. After breakfast, Qin Feng came over to take her to do some styling. After all, Rorai's birthday party was held by socialites. It was said that a lot of industry bigwigs would attend.

As Xiao Qinghan's girlfriend, Ling Muxue's attire must be suitable for her identity, but for some unknown reason, Ling Muxue's heart was very nervous and uneasy. It seemed like something bad was about to happen.

Ling Muxue was a natural beauty. She was simply dressed up and was already so beautiful that no one could look away from her.

On the other hand, Ling Muxue did not see Xiao Qinghan for the whole day, so she did not ask any more questions.

The whole place was bathed in brilliant lights. The banquet hall was lavishly decorated, and the first thing that came into view were the nobles in luxurious clothes, the ladies beautiful and noble, the gentlemen elegant, the toasts and laughter.

And among them was an internationally famous movie star, a big shot from a financial group, and even the market in B City was present at the banquet. It was just her birthday banquet, yet it attracted so many powerful people and showed the status of the Rorai family.

Ling Muxue's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention. It was not only because of her appearance, but also because of the group of bodyguards in black suits following beside her. All of them had serious expressions on their faces. This kind of formation was also quite terrifying.

It was just a birthday party, and, more importantly, it was the birthday party of the daughter of the Davis family, and it felt sensational to have so many bodyguards around.

At this moment, there were constant whispers in the hall.

Looking at her dress and accessories, it was only natural for the ladies to recognize her at a glance. She was wearing an ice-blue crystal shoulder-length dress, her necklaces, hand ornaments, and high heels, all of which were the latest designs that had been released by Rosen and were not yet on the market.

Her outfit was worth at least a hundred million dollars, and Rosen's products were the world's best luxuries, and couldn't be bought with money or power until they were on the market.

Looking at the lady in front of them, they all wondered if she was the socialite who had been able to order the latest product of the Rosen family. Could this lady be related to the Rosen family, but they had never heard of the Rosen family's daughter?

Ling Muxue, on the other hand, naturally felt the strange gazes from the crowd. She didn't know why Xiao Qingyan wanted so many bodyguards to follow him. Originally, attending this birthday banquet was enough to make her feel uncomfortable, but now, it made her feel even more uncomfortable.

She did not want to be the center of attention.

She wanted to give him the present, find Mo Weilian, return the necklace to him, and then leave.

Looking around, he didn't see Rorai or Mo Weilian. It seemed that she had arrived early.

Ling Muxue sat alone on the sofa at the side while a group of bodyguards stood around her. All of them had serious expressions and looked like they were about to kill her.

Some of the braver gentlemen wanted to approach Ling Muxue with red wine in their hands, but before they could even get close, they were stopped by the bodyguards and warned.

Ling Muxue looked at him and sneered in her heart. Xiao Qinghan was so afraid that she would cuckold him. If that was the case, why did he still want her to come?

She felt a wave of resentment in her heart. At that moment, a few figures walked in from the main entrance of the hall.

Rorai was wearing a bright red chest wrap skirt, a tight-fitting gown, and a well-tailored figure, but Rorai was driving it very well. Her curves were exposed, and she was sexy and enchanting. She was wearing a small pure white fox fur waistcoat and ten-centimeter high heels.

The great golden waves were brushed to one side, and with the delicate makeup, she looked noble and beautiful.

Three servants followed behind her.

When they saw her arrive, they all stepped forward and gave their blessings. Their expressions were very respectful, and some of them even tried to flatter her.

She returned the gesture with an elegant smile, and then her eyes drifted to where Ling Muxue was. Her blue eyes flashed and her red lips curled into a smile. She picked up two glasses of red wine that the waiter brought over and walked towards Ling Muxue.

Everyone's eyes naturally followed Rorai's footsteps.

Ling Muxue naturally stood up and saw Luo Lai standing in front of Ling Muxue. Two different types of beauties with outstanding temperament stood together and naturally became the center of attention.

It was thought that it would be difficult for someone of Miss Rorai's noble disposition to suppress her aura, but the beautiful woman from the east stood in front of her and did not lose out to her in the slightest.

If one were to look carefully, they would be able to discover that the pure aura on her body was even more stunning, comfortable, and lingering.

"I am very honored that Miss Ling can participate in my birthday part! I am very happy that you can come. "Rorai elegantly curled her lips as she spoke and handed the red wine to Ling Muxue.

Ling Muxue took the red wine from Rorai. Rorai held a goblet in a toast.

Ling Muxue held a goblet and clinked it with Rorai's. "Happy birthday, Miss Rorai!" Although she was saying her best wishes, no one could hear the coldness in her voice.

"Thank you!" She only replied with a faint smile.

Looking at the two of them, everyone was even more curious about the Miss Ling that Miss Rorai was talking about. What kind of person would dare to be so cold to the young miss of the Davis Family?

You know, there are a lot of noble people out there who want to get on the good side of the young lady.

Because the Davis family held an important place in the United States, almost monopolizing more than half of the United States' economy, and it was said that the Davis family was the President's biggest supporter.

What kind of status did this Miss Ling have to be able to say such an honorable thing with such a powerful family background?

One of the bodyguards respectfully handed a delicate box to Ling Muxue. Ling Muxue then handed it to Rorai, "Birthday present!"

Rorai's gaze fell on the box, and she smiled, "Thank you!" She took the gift without opening it and handed it to the servant beside her.

"Miss Ling, I want to talk to you." As she spoke, she smiled gently, and her beautiful pupils flowed with thousands of emotions under the illumination of the light.

However, Ling Muxue only looked at Rorai indifferently. "I wonder what Miss Rorai wants to talk to me about." Her voice was very cold. Ling Muxue really could not say what the reason was. She really could not talk to Rorai nicely.

Rorai looked into Ling Muxue's beautiful eyes. She could naturally see the hatred in her eyes, but when she thought about it carefully, Ling Muxue probably did not know what happened that year. Even if Xiao Qinghan knew, he would not tell her where her hatred came from.

Perhaps some people were destined to be enemies, just like her and Ling Muxue. However, Ling Muxue was nothing without him. Killing her was as easy as crushing an ant.

Just as Rorai was about to say something, her phone rang. Ling Muxue felt the vibration of her handbag. She opened the handbag and took out her phone. She thought it was Xiao Qinghan, but the phone screen showed Mo Weilian's name.

"Miss Ling, you can answer the phone first!" Rorai said.

Ling Muxue picked up the phone and greeted, "Hello, Mr Mo."

Mo Weilian's gentlemanly voice sounded, "So it's really Miss Ling. I thought I was wrong."

Ling Muxue was confused.

"I'm right in front of you!"

Ling Muxue looked over and saw Mo Weilian standing at the dining table not far away with a glass of champagne in his hand.

He hung up the phone as he walked and walked towards the two of them. Rorai raised her eyes and looked at him. Their eyes briefly met, but she couldn't see anything strange.

"Does Miss Ling and Weilian know each other?"

"Yes!"

"You guys are really fated to attend my birthday at the same time. I wonder how Miss Ling got to know Weilian. He is also a young master from a rich family. Not only is he handsome, but he is also humble. He is the target of many socialites." Rorai praised with a smile.
