Jian Xiaomo hated Long Chenjue to death in her heart, but she could not expose him on the surface. She smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I've sprained my leg for a few days. It's fine now."
"Okay." The crowd finally gave up and let Jian Xiaomo sit down.
At this moment, a congratulatory voice came from the crowd. "Wow, the birthday girl is out. The birthday girl is out."
Jian Xiaomo then realized that Long Chenjue had brought her here to attend someone else's birthday banquet.
Just as she was looking in the direction of the voice, the birthday girl received the congratulations from the crowd and thanked them profusely. Then, she pushed the crowd aside and came before Long Chenjue.
Jian Xiaomo finally saw the birthday girl's face clearly. She was a very young woman, no more than twenty-three years old. She was about the same age as Jian Xiaomo. She wore a golden crown on her head and a snow-white long dress that covered the floor. She looked elegant.
Before Long Chenjue could speak, the woman already said in surprise, "Brother Chenjue, you're here." As she spoke, she was about to pull Long Chenjue's arm.
Long Chenjue said without much expression on his face, "It's your birthday. Of course I'm here." As he spoke, he pulled his arm out of the woman's hand.
There was a trace of hurt in Meng Xue's eyes, but she immediately retracted her expression. Only then did she see Jian Xiaomo standing beside Long Chenjue. She said in surprise, "Brother Chenjue, this is..."
"My girlfriend." Long Chenjue did not avoid her.
This sentence stunned not only Meng Xue, but everyone else as well. They looked at each other. They had never heard of Young Master Long having a girlfriend before.
In their hearts, Young Master Long did not get close to women at all.
As soon as she said this, everyone began to gossip about the background of the woman who had suddenly appeared and captured Young Master Long.
Jian Xiaomo stared at Long Chenjue in shock. She did not expect that this man would actually address her in such a warm manner. Was it to give her face in front of others?
Jian Xiaomo's eyes were slightly moist.
However, Long Chenjue acted as if everything was normal. In his heart, Jian Xiaomo was already his girlfriend. When someone came over to greet him, he said to Meng Xue indifferently, "Accompany Jian Xiaomo for a walk. I have something to do."
Mengxue immediately nodded.
Long Chenjue then turned around and said to Jian Xiaomo, "If you're tired, let Meng Xue accompany you to find a place to rest."
Everyone began to talk about her. Naturally, she did not want to stay here. She followed Mengxue to the back, where there was a garden. The two of them walked to an awning and chatted casually with a lake.
It was a man-made lake. The water was very shallow. Jian Xiaomo could see the bottom of the lake from where she was sitting.
Meng Xue looked at Jian Xiaomo with a complicated look and said, "Are you really Young Master Long's girlfriend?" In her heart, she was still willing to believe that Long Chenjue had just lied to everyone.
Of course, Jian Xiaomo was not sure what Long Chenjue was thinking, so she smiled and said, "You have to ask Long Chenjue about this."
She easily called out Long Chenjue's name, which surprised Meng Xue. Her face changed and she said, "You can call Brother Chenjue as Long Chenjue. It seems that your relationship is not ordinary."
The light in her eyes dimmed and she looked listless.
However, when she called Long Chenjue 'brother', Jian Xiaomo asked curiously, "Did you call Long Chenjue 'brother' because you are relatives?"
