Chapter 141 - His Gift of Gratitude
Cheng Liyue stood by Gong Yexiao's side. Her gaze sized up Lu Hai's body, and her resentment surged up. Coincidentally, Lu Hai also looked at her, and her eyes flashed with a bit of shock, as if he was asking her in confirmation, "This companion of Gong Xiansheng's looks so familiar, have we met before?"
Cheng Liyue still did not answer, but the lumbar region suddenly wrapped itself around her palm.
"This is my partner for tonight, Miss Cheng Liyue." Gong Yexiao introduced her with gentleness.
Lu Hai's eyes were clearly filled with shock, but very quickly he covered it up with his smile, and looked towards Cheng Liyue: "Miss Cheng, I never expected to see you again, your father and I are good brothers!"
Lu Hai was very cunning, if she asked him in person, it would be impossible for him to force out what happened that year. Just like now, when he knew that he was still's ex-wife, but was still able to talk and laugh like that, and still dared to call himself his father's good brother.
After Lu Hai finished laughing, he sighed and looked towards Cheng Liyue apologetically, "Ah, Hai Yue! I'm very sorry about your father's matter. Back then, I was abroad and was unable to send him off on his final journey.
"Is that so?" Cheng Liyue asked in a complicated tone.Lu Hai was startled, then laughed: "Of course."
Gong Yexiao timely cut in on her conversation, and said to her: "Hai Yue, accompany me to the host's office to say hello, okay?"
Cheng Liyue nodded her head, and followed Gong Yexiao to the host of the night. In front of a highly respected elderly, Gong Yexiao and he exchanged a few words, and Cheng Liyue's gaze landed on Lu Hai, who was looking at her with some suspicions. Cheng Liyue naturally moved her gaze away, but accidentally bumped into Lu Junxuan.Lu Junxuan's eyes showed traces of admiration, he raised his glass to her and raised it, then turned his head back expressionlessly, raising it, he bumped into Gong Yexiao's deep and complicated eyes again. While she was dodging, Gong Yexiao's strong arm suddenly grabbed her, and laughed: "Accompany me in a dance."
Only then did Cheng Liyue realize that at this moment, it was already time for the ball, the light and music had become soft and faint yellow. Cheng Liyue was a little flustered, "I don't really know how to dance."
"No problem, just follow my footsteps." Gong Yexiao did not ask for much.
Although he was talking to the organizers just now, his gaze was calm as he scanned his surroundings. He naturally caught sight of Lu Junxuan's pair of eyes that was staring straight at Cheng Liyue.
Cheng Liyue still hadn't reacted, the lumbar region was being embraced and her small hands were being held by the man. Gong Yexiao led her to slowly dance to the rhythm of the music, and it wasn't like Cheng Liyue didn't know how to dance either.
However, after so long, she was shy.
However, it was clear that Gong Yexiao's steps were graceful, steady, and with each of his movements, he was able to bring her along to coordinate with him.
Cheng Liyue went from anxiety to relaxation, and gradually, they started to blend in with his dancing posture.
Lu Junxuan, who was at the side, did not bring his female companion along. He sat on the sofa and looked at the pair of people who were like wall people, dancing gracefully and kissing sweetly. A strong sense of jealousy and envy flashed in his eyes.
At the end of the dance, after a few revolutions, she fainted and fell into Gong Yexiao's powerful arms. The two of them stuck close to each other with his head lowered and his eyes that were as black as the ocean gazed deeply into them.The man was tall and strong while the woman was petite and delicate. Under the light of the lamp, the contrast was obvious.
Cheng Liyue was pulling on her, but her breathing still wasn't steady.
Her beauty was reflected in the man's eyes under the light. He pulled her up and said, "Let's go!"Cheng Liyue also wanted to leave. She had originally come here with an impulsive heart, but under Gong Yexiao's reminder, she had personally witnessed Lu Hai's deep thoughts. It would be impossible to find any clues from him.
"Alright." Cheng Liyue followed him to the door, and then thought of something and spoke to her. "Wait here for me, I'll go greet him."Gong Yexiao went to greet the organizers while Cheng Liyue stood at the door, waiting for him.
At this moment, a figure walked over, "Yaoyue, are you leaving?" It was Lu Junxuan. He looked at her with a complicated gaze.
Just as Cheng Liyue wanted to say something, she heard a cold and ruthless male voice say, "Mr Lu, please stay away from my woman."Lu Junxuan turned his head and walked towards him with a warning look in his eyes. At the same time, he was also extremely displeased.
Cheng Liyue saw the fear that flowed out of Lu Junxuan's eyes. She smiled and took two steps back. Gong Yexiao naturally held Cheng Liyue's hand and said softly, "Let's go."
Cheng Liyue was brought all the way out of the hotel lobby. Gong Yexiao's car had already reached the entrance, he pulled open the copilot and let Cheng Liyue enter, while he elegantly returned to her driving seat.The black sports car was like a ghost as it drove out of the hotel entrance and headed straight into the night.
As Cheng Liyue sat in the car, her mood was complicated, even she harbored resentment towards Lu Hai, but at the same time, there was also gratitude towards him. If not for him, tonight, she would have personally destroyed the chance to give his father justice, and in the future, it would really be difficult to deal with Lu Hai."Thank you." Cheng Liyue turned her head, looked at the man and said seriously and sincerely.
Gong Yexiao's black sports car suddenly, from the side of the road, it drove into an empty paved road and stopped.
Cheng Liyue was startled, not knowing what he wanted to do.
The street light above him was covered by dense tree branches, and when it landed on the carriage, it was extremely dim. Cheng Liyue swallowed his saliva, and felt the man beside him turn his head to look at him, as if he understood the darkness outside even more.
"You …"
"I don't like to express my gratitude verbally. If you really have to thank me …" His arm extended out from the driver's seat and grabbed her slender wrist. Cheng Liyue's body stiffened, and his heart raced.
The man's thin lips moved to her ear, continuing what he had just said. "You are not allowed to refuse this kiss."
When Cheng Liyue and his gaze met, she immediately felt her mouth turn dry and her tongue turn dry.
The man's kiss suddenly came.Cheng Liyue breathed in and out. The man's kiss wasn't rough, but was instead exquisite and gentle, repeatedly sucking on her lips …
"Welcome to me …" the man ordered hoarsely.In the midst of his muddled state of mind, Cheng Liyue grabbed the front of his chest with both hands, opened her red lips slightly, and a distinct emotion flashed within her eyes.
The man squinted his eyes. Within his eyes, there was a faint smile that seemed to be twinkling. He seemed to be gratifying.
The entanglement between her lips caused Cheng Liyue to feel dizzy and panicked. She held onto the man's clothes tightly while the man held onto the back of her head and kissed … It was a kiss that was hard to part with.
