C137 I'm Here and I Can't Lose Face

Yu Qi's heart trembled. An unknown warm current surged out and spread throughout his limbs and bones, driving away all the cold in his body.

A trace of worry surfaced on his small face as he said carefully, "I'm afraid... I'll embarrass you and the company."

"Heh." He laughed happily. He lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, "With me here, I won't lose face!"

Yu Qi's face turned hot as he looked around. Fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted by Tang Ning, so no one saw them and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Her small hand pinched his firm waist, "Stop messing around. People will see you."

Lu Bei Chen curled his lips happily. So what if they saw her? He did not care if others knew that she was his girlfriend.

He even hoped that the whole world would know that she was his woman!

As soon as Tang Ning entered the room, she saw Yu Qi standing beside Lu Bei Chen. Hatred surged in her heart, especially when she saw Lu Bei Chen lower his head and kiss Yu Qi's cheek. She wished she could tear Yu Qi apart.

So many years had passed, and Lu Bei Chen had been overseas for a few years. Yu Qi was no longer the little princess that everyone loved in the Yu Family, but why... Why was Lu Bei Chen still so good to her?

As long as there was Yu Qi, Lu Bei Chen's eyes seemed to not be able to see anything else. He was only looking at Yu Qi.

He was like this back when he was in school, and he was still like this now.

It did not matter. The current Yu Qi was not the same as the Yu Qi of the past, and she was not the same Tang Ning of the past. She had already transformed into a famous socialite in the capital, Tang Ning.

Tonight, she was going to attend the Yan Ye Corporation's banquet with her father. She was the center of attention.

The man who was staring at her with his eyes about to fall out was the best proof.

Tang Xian brought Tang Ning to greet Yan Ye Ting. He was really flattered to receive an invitation from the Yan Ye Corporation today.

Although the Tang family's business was doing pretty well now, compared to the Yan Ye Group, it was just the tip of the iceberg, not worth mentioning.

If he could talk to the CEO of the Yanye Group today, or even leave a good impression, it would definitely be of great help to his company. Therefore, he specially brought his daughter, Tang Ning, here tonight.

He believed that with his daughter's beauty and intelligence, she would definitely not disappoint him.

Indeed, Tang Ning did not disappoint Tang Xian. She was dressed sexily and flirtatiously. Every action of hers had been carefully studied, perfect to the point of being unassailable. However, because of her excessive imitation, her beauty seemed empty, lacking the natural and spiritual aura on Yu Qi's body.

When he greeted Yan Ye Ting, Tang Xian gave Tang Ning a look. Tang Ning understood what he meant and smiled as if she had carefully measured it, "Hello, CEO Yan. I'm Tang Ning. It's my honor to meet you today."

She stretched out her white and tender finger.

Yan Ye Ting glanced at her hand with an indifferent gaze. His fingernails were meticulously made, but there was a pungent perfume smell that made him frown in disgust.

Forget about shaking hands, he did not even bother to look at her.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Tang Ning's face turned slightly pale. She never thought Yan Ye would be so disrespectful to her.

Jin Feng, who was standing at the side, tried to ease the atmosphere. "I'm sorry, Miss Tang. My brother is a germaphobe!"

When Tang Ning saw that there was a way out, she immediately went down the stairs and retracted her hand. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's good that you know," Yan Ye Ting said coldly.

Tang Ning and Tang Xian's faces began to crack. Everyone knew that these were just polite words, yet Yan Ye Ting kept on making things difficult for them and their father.

Jin Feng shrugged helplessly. He had already tried his best.

Yan Ye Ting looked at Yu Qi with a pair of cold eyes and said in a slightly gentler tone than before, "Little friend, come here."

Yu Qi, who was called out, was startled. He raised his head to look at Lu Bei Chen. "He's calling me!"

Lu Bei Chen nodded. "Big brother told us to go over."

As he spoke, he held Yu Qi's arm with one hand and walked towards Yan Ye with a glass of red wine in the other.

When Tang Ning saw Yu Qi walking over while being held by Lu Bei Chen, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her lowered eyes.

Although it didn't take long for Yan Ye to notice it.

Was she hostile to Qi Qi?

A cold chill instantly seeped out from between her brows.

When Lu Beichen and Yu Qi walked over, Tang Ning and Tang Xian wanted to move to the side, but for some reason, Lu Beichen's shoulder suddenly bumped into Tang Ning.

Tang Ning was wearing high heels that were 15 centimeters tall tonight. It was already not easy to walk steadily. How could she still stand after being hit like this?

Tang Xian was shocked and reached out his hand to help Tang Ning up.

Lu Bei Chen shot a cold light at Jin Feng.

Jin Feng instantly trembled. He immediately went forward and grabbed Tang Xian's hand with concern, "Aiya, Director Tang, are you alright?"

Tang Xian, who was being pulled by Jin Feng, had the intention to help but was powerless, he could only watch as Tang Ning fell to the ground.

As luck would have it, the glass of wine in Lu Bei Chen's hand slid down and smashed into Tang Ning's chest...

In an instant, the wine glass fell on her chest, soaking her clothes and sticking to her skin. The glass shattered on her collarbone, and the pieces pierced into her flesh. Blood instantly gushed out.

Tang Ning screamed in pain.

Lu Bei Chen was expressionless. He turned his head and scolded, "You're such an adult, yet you don't know how to walk properly. Why did you hit me?"

"Huh?" Yu Qi was stunned.

All of this had happened too quickly. She had no idea what was going on at all.

"Why are you blaming a child for not being able to stand properly?" Yan Ye Ting spoke coldly, but every word he said was to protect Yu Qi.

Everyone present was dumbstruck. Who wouldn't know that Yan Ye was the CEO of the Yan Ye Group? His heart was filled with arrogance, and other than a few good friends and partners, he didn't even bother to glance at anyone else.

Lu Bei Chen did not refute him. He turned around and looked at Tang Ning, who was sitting on the ground in a sorry state. He said coldly, "I'm sorry for bumping into you."

He slightly leaned his hand in front of her and tried to help her up.

When Yu Qi saw that Lu Bei Chen was about to help Tang Ning up, he pouted his pink lips slightly. He did not hide the unhappiness in his heart in the slightest.

She was not the Virgin Mary, so she could apologize to the person who had hurt her.

On the contrary, she was very narrow-minded. She clearly remembered who had made her sad and shed tears since she was young.

In her heart, she was not willing to let Lu Bei Chen help Tang Ning, but there were so many people around her, so she could not ask Lu Bei Chen not to help her.

Lu Bei Chen would be caught in a dilemma.

Because of the pain on her collarbone, Tang Ning's face turned pale. She looked up and saw Lu Bei Chen's hand. It was as if she was in the dark but saw a ray of light.

Her heart could not help but beat wildly.

'Did he finally notice me?!'

Looking at the handsome face in front of him, his heart was beating uncontrollably. He finally saw himself.

Although he had suffered some pain, it was worth it for him to stop looking at her.

His hand that was not stained with blood slowly reached towards his...
