“Brother Tu, then I’ll have to trouble you to put in a good word for me in front of Ms. Lucille later.” Lu Rou leaned against Tu Lin with a sweet smile and a coquettish tone.
“Don’t worry, you have a good temperament. Lucille will definitely like you.”
Although Tu Lin was a successful middle-aged man, he still could not resist the flattery and coquettishness of the young girl. When he smelled the perfume on Lu Rou and heard her cute voice, he immediately lost his resistance.
Hearing Tu Lin’s words, Lu Rou was relieved. She looked up in Lu Zhen’s direction and smiled proudly at her from afar, as if she was mocking Lu Zhen for being destined to be her supporting role tonight.
Seeing Lu Rou’s arrogant look, Lu Zhen only slowly swirled her wine glass.
There was no trace of anger on her face.
The banquet was about to begin. Lu Zhen found a quiet corner and looked at the men and women dancing to the music on the dance floor in front of her. She didn’t bring a male partner today, so there was no need for her to dance. At this moment, she was thinking about how to talk to Ms. Lucille later.
Lu Rou, who had already finished dancing, swayed her waist and walked up to Lu Zhen. She smiled mockingly. “Why? No one invited you to dance? Lu Zhen, how did you end up like this? I feel sorry for you!”
Lu Zhen sneered and was about to retaliate when a low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in her ear. “Miss Lu, can I invite you to dance?”
Lu Rou did not expect the slap to come so quickly. She was just mocking Lu Zhen for not having a male companion when a man came to invite her to dance the next second.
Lu Rou looked at the man. When she saw his face, she was stunned.
Lu Zhen also looked at Song Jia in a daze.
Today, Song Jia was wearing a custom-made white suit with a silver shirt and a golden tie. The elegant and dignified white color accentuated his refined and noble temperament. Such an uncontrollable bright color seemed to have been tamed by Song Jia at this moment, making him look romantic and carefree.
After taking off his glasses, Song Jia’s perfect and exquisite facial features looked a little fierce. His handsomeness made Lu Zhen feel a little afraid to look at him directly.
No woman could resist the temptation of such a perfect man.
“Rourou, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you continuing to dance?” Tu Lin noticed that Lu Rou had not returned for a long time and came to look for her. He shouted at Lu Rou from afar.
The ordinary-looking Tu Lin could not be compared to Song Jia, who was as handsome as the male lead in a movie. At this moment, Lu Rou felt extremely embarrassed. She thought angrily: Why would such a young and handsome man invite Lu Zhen to dance?
Lu Rou almost didn’t want to respond to Tu Lin. She felt that her male partner was ten streets behind Song Jia, but she still hoped that Tu Lin would help her put in a good word for her in front of Ms. Lucille tonight, so Lu Rou said to Tu Lin with a dark expression, “I’m fine. Let’s go.”
Seeing Lu Rou’s changing expression, Lu Zhen felt very good. She turned to
Song Jia with a gentle smile. “Thank you for helping me out just now. Why are
you here!”
“Help you out?” Song Jia smiled noncommittally. “I didn’t help you out. I just wanted to invite you to dance with me.”
Lu Zhen was stunned. For a moment, she was frantically trying to find an explanation for Song Jia’s sudden action. In Lu Zhen’s heart, Song Jia was a rational and cold man. There was no reason for him to be too close to her before they even started working together.
Could it be that he likes me? Lu Zhen quickly denied her guess. She knew that her face was indeed alright, but Song Jia was obviously not a lecherous man. She felt that Song Jia would not be so superficial.
“You don’t want to?” Seeing Lu Zhen’s distracted expression, Song Jia smiled calmly. “Looks like I was rude.”
Lu Zhen didn’t dare to be unwilling. She hurriedly smiled. “No, it’s my honor to be invited by Mr. Song.”
The two of them stepped onto the dance floor and instantly became the center of attention.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhen was also wearing a white dress today. She looked even more compatible with Song Jia. The two of them were like a princess and Prince Charming from a fairy tale.
At this moment, Lu Zhen was very close to Song Jia. She could smell the faint fragrance on his body. It was like a winter cedar or an orchid in the mountains, filled with cold attraction and mysterious temptation.
Lu Zhen felt her heart beat faster. She didn’t even dare to look up at Song Jia.
“Are you nervous?” Song Jia’s smiling voice suddenly sounded. “Relax. I’m not a bad person..”
