On the deck, Li An’an was enjoying the breeze. She was willing to bet that Yang Xia was looking for her everywhere, but she didn’t feel like going. No matter whose banquet it was, she did not feel like attending it. It was nice to just stand there and look at the sea!
Footsteps could be heard coming from behind her..
She cast a quick sidelong glance, and smiled when she saw the light blue suit. “Fu Yiheng, aren’t you going to the banquet? How is it that you are in the mood to take a leisurely stroll here?”
As soon as she had spoken, the other party stopped in his tracks. She could hear the heavy breathing in the air. Li An’an immediately felt that something was wrong. She turned around and saw Lu Ming holding a cup of milk tea in one hand and his other hand in his pocket. He was looking at her with a hurt expression.
Lu Ming did not miss the hint of disappointment in her eyes. “It’s not him. You must be disappointed, right?”
Li An’an looked out at the sea again. She couldn’t be bothered with him. One moment, his attention was on her, and the next moment, it was on Li Xinyi. It was downright annoying.
“Yes, so please stay away from me. Don’t forget that your fiancée is on board. I don’t want to start a scandal.” She looked around vigilantly. After all, Li Xinyi was totally capable of slandering her.
Lu Ming said, “Xinyi is putting on her makeup. We’ll be going to the banquet together later. I just came out to the deck to relax. I didn’t expect to see you. An’an, it’s right that you refrain from going to the banquet. Chu Yichen will hurt you, and so will Fu Yiheng. It’s best that you avoid any contact with either of them.’
Li An’an caught the main point of Lu Ming’s words. “What do you mean it’s right that I refrain from going to the banquet?”
Lu Ming was surprised. “Don’t you know? The host of today’s banquet is Chu Yichen. This is the first time he has held such a big banquet. Its purpose is really to announce a marriage between wealthy families. He will choose his wife-to-be today.”
Li An’an felt her body sway for a moment. She wasn’t sure if it was from the ship’s turbulent movement or because she had lost her balance, but the beautiful scenery in the distance was no longer beautiful. Anger rose within her.
It turned out that Chu Yichen was really on the ship. He was even planning to announce his fiancée. And he hadn’t breathed a word to her. She looked as if she had been dealt a blow.
Lu Ming’s heart ached for her. “An’an, are you feeling terrible? I told you that Chu Yichen isn’t suitable for you. It’s not possible for a man like him to have only one woman by his side. It’s even less likely that he’d marry you. That’s why he would hide such a significant piece of news from you.”
Li An’an calmed down. “Even so, it’s none of your business.”
Lu Ming was furious. “If it’s none of my business, then whose business should
it be? We grew up together. Would you rather believe others than me? Also, An’an, Fu Yiheng and Chu Yichen are the same sort of men. Don’t be holding any hopes for him either.”
Li An’an really wanted to give him a kick. The way he was prying was really annoying! He was neglecting things that he should focus on and focusing on things that had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, Lu Ming was forcefully yanked. He stumbled against the railing and this made a loud noise. He felt a sharp pain, then turned around and saw the man who pulled him.
It was Fu Yiheng. He was wearing a light gray suit and a dark red tie. Under the moonlight, the diamond tie clip sparkled and threw light on his handsome and gloomy face.
Lu Ming was a little lacking in confidence, unable to match the other man’s aura.
Li An’an heaved a sigh of relief, having been rescued from the situation by Fu Yiheng.
At this point, someone came looking for Lu Ming. “CEO Lu, Miss Li is ready.
She’s waiting for you to attend the banquet with her.”
Lu Ming clenched his fists. He tidied up his suit, threw away the milk tea, and left angrily. Before he left, he glanced at Li An’an. “An’an, you’ll find that I’m doing this for your own good.”
Li An’an answered, “I don’t have the fortune to enjoy it.”
After Lu Ming stormed away, she and Fu Yiheng were the only ones left on the deck. Fu Yiheng approached her and tucked her hair behind her ear..
