Just as the three of them were caught in an awkward situation, Ji Ziming’s hand was suddenly grabbed by a slender hand. Everyone’s eyes turned to the owner of this hand. She was wearing a scribbled fox mask, which accentuated her exquisite figure, and a sparkling floor-length dress that wrapped around her hips. Under the dazzling lights, she looked sexy and charming.
Just as she was guessing, she spoke. It was si linna’s familiar voice.
“President Ji, didn’t you say that you’d dance with me for the first time? Why did you secretly go back on your word? I’m really not happy about this!” As she said that, she gently brushed her thumb across his thin lips.
For some reason, when she saw si linna being so intimate with Ji Ziming, she turned her head away slightly, feeling upset. Actually, she knew that he was a frivolous and boastful person, but she still found it hard to accept when she actually saw it.
Although the uneasiness on Ji Ziming’s face was covered by the mask, everyone could still sense it. They could clearly see his right hand pushing away si linna’s slender hand in disgust.
Si linna thought that Ji Ziming had angered Sir and was about to question him, but he coldly said,””Si linna, what nonsense are you saying? I’ll dance with you! Come!” As she said this, she took si linna’s hand and walked to the center of the dance floor.
Seeing si linna and Ji Ziming dance in the middle of the dance floor, PEI GE’s face under the mask trembled slightly. She actually wondered why she did not immediately agree to his dance request.
‘That’s right, it’s not to satisfy our intimacy, but to ease and pull our relationship closer,’she repeatedly reminded herself.
“Pei Pei, what’s wrong?” Cheng Ningyuan asked when he saw her staring blankly at the crowd on the dance floor.
She laughed dryly.”Oh, it’s nothing. I just think that I was too rash. You also think that I was a little harsh when I spoke to him, right?”
Cheng Ningyuan was also wearing a mask, so she could only see his quick-witted eyes blink before he replied in a deep voice,””Didn’t he let you down? Such a tone was expected. However, for the sake of the big picture, we should first please him and endure it for now. ”
“Ning Yuan, I didn’t expect you, an inexperienced child, to be able to see through things so clearly. I’m still not as good as you after all. Sigh.” Sighing, she took another sip of the champagne.
“Don’t drink so much. You haven’t eaten anything yet, and you haven’t even tried to get close to him. Do you expect me to carry a drunkard home from a party with so many people?” Cheng Ningyuan’s voice was still cold, but she could tell that he was concerned about her. He even snatched the cup from her hand as he spoke.
“This is champagne, you won’t get drunk after a few sips. Besides, I know why I’m here. Isn’t there a saying that alcohol can boost one’s courage? This is the first time I’ve been to such an occasion in my memory. How can I move without drinking, right?” As she spoke, she reached out to take the glass of champagne that Cheng Ningyuan had prepared.
“But did you know that the champagne you’ve been drinking has been Ji Ziming ‘s?” Cheng Ningyuan held the bottom of the glass again, not giving her a chance to pick it up.
PEI GE was stunned. She did not expect herself to drink from the wrong cup.
She retracted her hand and asked in a slightly panicked tone,””Ning Yuan, you noticed it a long time ago, didn’t you? Why didn’t you remind me? This … If Ji Ziming sees this, how embarrassed will I be?!”
With that, she buried her head in her hands and rested her elbows on the bar counter, looking very vexed.
“You guys were talking, so it wasn’t good for me to interrupt. I thought you would notice, but they had already left to dance, and you picked it up again just now. I just remembered.” Cheng Ningyuan said it casually. After a pause, he said,””I don’t think he noticed it, though. His attention has always been on you.”
She shuddered. All of it is on me? Was that really the case?
Just as he was thinking about this, Liu Lina walked over gracefully with a glass of champagne in her hand.
Cheng Ningyuan and PEI GE were stunned for a moment before they recognized her, for her outfit tonight was indeed stunning.
She was wearing a red, tight-fitting long dress with shoulder-length wavy hair, a single-ear silver tasseled earring, and a pair of shiny 10-centimeter high earrings. It was hard for people to take their eyes off her.
She gently placed the champagne glass in her hand on the small bar in front of PEI GE and said with a strong breath,””If Aileen didn’t tell me that you were here, I wouldn’t have recognized you. Pei Pei, you’re so beautiful tonight!”
Liu Lina was not being polite. PEI GE was indeed very beautiful tonight, and the men who passed by her could not help but take a few more glances at her. If not for Cheng Ningyuan standing beside her, PEI GE would definitely be surrounded by people.
Thinking that Liu Lina had finally appeared, PEI GE thought that she had gone to play some tricks.
Thinking that if it were not for her suggestion to the man, tonight’s masked party would not have even existed, she still symbolically raised her glass of champagne and gave her a thumbs up.””INA, I heard that you were the one who suggested tonight’s masked party. Good idea, at least it looks good for now! Cheers!”
Liu Lina’s mask was the same as PEI GE’s and Cheng Ningyuan ‘s; it only covered half of her face, so PEI GE could clearly see the meaningful smile on her lips.
She raised her glass and lightly clinked it with Liu Lina ‘s. After taking a small sip, Liu Lina moved closer to her.
PEI GE was puzzled and did not know what Liu Lina was up to this time. Liu Lina moved closer to her ear and gently covered her mouth and her ear with one hand. ‘It’s actually just to hide his identity. You know that he doesn’t dare to touch you because he owes you. “But Shen Feng and I are different. Previously, in order to resist him, we had no choice but to escape abroad. Now that we’re back, we’re all using fake identities. If he suddenly decides to call the police and arrest us, even though we have fake information on our identities, it will still be very troublesome.”
She understood and nodded.
Cheng ning did not know what Liu Lina was trying to do, but he felt that she was trying to bewitch PEI GE again. Taking advantage of the two’s silence, he suggested,”Ji Ziming and that woman have been dancing for a while. Why don’t we go to the center of the dance floor and Exchange partners later? we might have a chance to get closer to him.”
Liu Lina’s eyes brightened. Actually, she had already noticed Cheng Ningyuan earlier, but she had not asked him in detail because she was busy talking to PEI GE.
Now that she heard his deep, sexy, and magnetic voice, she could not help but ask,””PEI GE, is this fellow your male companion?”
