"I won't allow it. " Xin Zimo rejected him again.
Du Anran couldn't do anything but remain silent.
Someone invited Du Anran to dance in the middle of the party. Du Anran didn't want to stay by Xin Zimo's side for a long time, and she was always restrained. She immediately agreed happily and went to dance with the blue-eyed English handsome man.
Xin Zimo was anxious. He wanted to dance with her just now, but she kept rejecting him. Now that she met a handsome man from abroad, she seemed to be very happy.
He could only sit at the side and drink quietly. During this time, there were a few very beautiful women who came to dance with Xin Zimo, but he rejected them all.
Du Anran stayed away from Xin Zimo. It was as if she had run into a rainy day, and her smile suddenly returned.
Not only was this handsome British man handsome, he also told a few jokes from time to time, which made du Anran laugh heartily. He also liked du Anran, constantly praising Du Anran's beauty and temperament.
This kind of man and Xin Zimo were two worlds apart. There was a world of difference. However, this thought only flashed through his mind because Du Anran discovered a serious problem. Why could she not help but think of Xin Zimo... ...
Fortunately, the handsome man was naturally cheerful. He did not notice the subtle changes on Du Anran's face. He continued to talk non-stop, from the British gossip to the recent international interesting events.
When he saw the diamond ring on Du Anran's hand, he showed a surprised expression. "Oh my God! "
Du Anran quickly hid her hand behind her back, but the handsome man still saw it. He was experienced and knowledgeable, so he was naturally familiar with this diamond ring. He talked about the auction process of this diamond ring, and he also said that the final price had shocked everyone.
Only then did du Anran know how rare this diamond ring was. She remained silent.
But just as the handsome British man was talking non-stop, Xin Zimo finally could not hold back his temper and walked over.
He grabbed du Anran's hand. "DANCE WITH ME! "
"I don't want to dance with you! "
"Are you addicted to dancing with handsome men? Huh? "
"I'm tired, I don't want to dance anymore. " Du Anran had to find excuses one by one.
"Don't look so glum, there are reporters watching. " Xin zimo whispered into her ear.
Du Anran could only force an ugly smile. "When will it end? "
"dance with me until the end of time. " Xin Zimo held her hand and walked towards the stage without any explanation.
"Hey, you hurt my wrist again! " Du Anran had no choice but to dance with Xin Zimo.
Throughout the entire dance process, Xin Zimo's movements were unusually ambiguous. Sometimes he whispered into Du Anran's ear, and sometimes he kissed her forehead when she lowered her head.
The reporters present naturally would not let go of this wonderful gossip, especially the domestic reporters. They had received important news in China that Xin Zimo was seriously injured, but now that they looked at it, it was completely nonexistent.
The party continued until past eight o'clock in the evening. After Xin Zimo and Du Anran finished their dance, they went to drink with the guests. Du Anran saw that he not only drank his share, but also blocked all the wine that belonged to her. At this moment, she saw that his face was obviously drunk.
She saw that he had blocked the wine for her and went to persuade him, "drink less, your injuries have not healed yet. "
"It's okay, it's almost over... " he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. His body was indeed hot and uncomfortable.
"Let me help you to rest! Although you can hold your liquor well, you can't help drinking like this. "
"I'm quite happy today... you can come with me... " Xin Zimo was drunk. He held the wine glass in one hand and brushed away the strands of hair on du Anran's forehead with the other ...
His eyes were filled with gentle affection. His hand slid across her face and held her hand. He was a little tipsy. "Anran, I really want to hold your hand and grow old like this. "
"You're only in your twenties. What's the point of talking about growing old? " Du Anran was silent for a moment and smiled.
Xin Zimo also curved his lips into a smile, but he was unwilling to let go of her hand.
"I'll take you to sober up. When uncle Chen sees you later, he'll start nagging again. " Du Anran thought that Xin Zimo was drunk and wanted to take him out of the venue.
Xin Zimo did not refute and followed Du Anran out of the bustling center of the venue. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Xin Zimo was probably too tired. He saw a swing on the grass and sat down.
"It's cold outside. Come with me to my room to rest. " Du Anran wanted to pull him away, but Xin Zimo had already sat on the swing and was unwilling to let go.
Du Anran had no choice but to sit on the neighboring swing to accompany him.
Xin Zimo held her hand and was unwilling to let go. Du Anran could not break free no matter how hard she tried.
The stars in the sky shone brightly, and the insects in the withered grass sang softly. Some dewdrops rolled on the grass, turned around, and rolled back to the ground.
The world was very quiet, as if everything at the party had nothing to do with them.
Xin Zimo held onto du Anran's hand and refused to let go. At first, he was still muttering to himself, but after a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
Du Anran knew that he must have been very tired today. Not to mention that he was still injured, even if he was as lively as she was, it would still be difficult after a day of torment.
Although she missed the taste of good wine, she was still glad that he was able to block all the wine for her today. Otherwise, she would have thrown up again.
Xin zimo leaned on Du Anran when he was sleeping. After a while, he buried himself in Du Anran's arms.
Du Anran did not know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time she had seen Xin zimo sticking to her like this. In the past, she had always slept in his arms when she was drunk and unconscious!
She did not want to disturb Xin Zimo, but it was really too cold outside. She could only help him out from the back door.
Uncle Chen had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw that Du Anran was helping Xin Zimo over, he quickly came over to help.
After getting into the car, Xin Zimo was still lying on du Anran's lap. He kept muttering to himself, "Anran, don't be angry... I held the thank-you meeting to dispel the rumors for the Xin family... I brought you here... can we still get back together... "
In fact, she had heard all the whispers from the reporters that day. They were just trying to dispel the rumors for the Xin family, to prove that she was still alive and well, that she could drink, bring women, and dance. She had nothing to blame him for. Even though this was a disguised use.
"have a good sleep! " Du Anran did not answer his drunken words, she only said softly.
Her hand could not help but cover his face. In his sleep, he was always so gentle and tender. He was no longer as cold, harsh, and heartless as usual. Even his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and it was unusually gentle.
"Miss Du, I'm taking Mr. Xin to the hospital. Do you want to go with me? " Uncle Chen, who was driving, asked.
"I'll go over. He's drunk. "
She did not know why she was always soft-hearted. When he was nice to her, she seemed to have forgotten all the pain in the past.
She did not have a good memory or backbone, but in love, did she need these things?
Uncle Chen turned a corner and drove in the direction of the hospital.
The next day, as expected, the newspapers in the country published a large number of photos of Xin Zimo's cocktail party. In the photos, other than Xin Zimo, Du Anran also appeared the most.
These all made many people in the country shocked. Firstly, Xin Zimo was fine and nothing happened. Secondly, Xin Zimo actually walked together with Du Anran.
The two pieces of important news immediately added a lot of gossip to the streets and alleys, especially the wives in the rich circle who had nothing to do. They could not help but discuss it over coffee.
Most of the wives and young ladies in the circle recognized Du Anran and Xin Zimo. They had also come into contact with them, and the discussion was almost endless.
Some people said that when Chi Xue's shop opened a while ago, they saw du Anran still looking like a down-and-out young lady. Now, she had become a phoenix.
Some people said that Du Anran liked Qin Muchu, but she was quite good at seducing the bachelor. One moment, she was the son of the mayor, and the next moment, she was the president of the Xin Group.
Some people also said that Xin Zimo had abandoned countless women in city a, yet he still wanted Du Anran who had no family, no status, and no future. It was really hard to understand the taste of men.
After hearing the news, Xin Zimo's mother was even more furious. She wished she could immediately fly to London and capture Xin Zimo. She first called Chi Xue, but she did not expect that Chi Xue already knew about Du Anran being by Xin Zimo's side. Xin Zimo's mother could not help but scold Chi Xue for being useless. She could not even control a man.
Chi Xue hung up the phone aggrievedly and sobbed quietly by herself.
However, there was only one person in city a WHO looked at the newspapers with a deep gaze. He sat in the Office of the Executive Director of the Xie Bank. He let go of the folded newspapers and folded them again. He did this kind of meaningless thing over and over again. In the end, he lowered his head to look at the photos and clenched his fists.
When Xie Chenjin called Du Anran, Du Anran had already returned to the villa. After Bai Ruyun came for a few days, she was in a hurry to go back. No matter how much Du Anran tried to persuade her, she would not stay.
Before she left, Bai Ruyun also saw the report of the wine reception that day. She only put away the newspaper and did not mention anything in front of Du Anran.
The Du Anran in the newspaper was very beautiful. There were a few moments when Bai ruyun seemed to see the past du Anran again. It had been a long time since she had that smile.
Du Anran sent Bai Ruyun to the airport. Before she left, she was still reluctant to part with her However, it made Bai Ruyun, who was usually calm, smile and say, "it's not like you will stay in London forever. Won't you be back in a few days? Those children are still waiting for you to visit them! "
Du anran wiped her tears and smiled. "Mom, go back and take good care of yourself. Also, tell those kids that I'll visit them as soon as I get back to the country. "
Bai Ruyun then hugged du Anran's shoulder and said goodbye to her. When they boarded the plane, Bai Ruyun was still graceful and elegant. The quiet smile on her face made du Anran feel especially at ease.
Du Anran had just returned to the villa to change her shoes when she received a call from Xie Chenjin. She was quite surprised that Xie Chenjin had not taken the initiative to call her during this period of time. She thought that he had been busy all this time.
"Du Anran, how much do you want to take back what belongs to you? " Xie Chenjin went straight to the point. His cold tone made du Anran tremble.
Xie Chenjin had never used such a tone to talk to Du Anran. In Du Anran's eyes, Xie Chenjin was also an extremely elegant gentleman, although he was like Xin Zimo, who was dressed like a beast.
