The birthday party was held in a duplex, and the second floor was the VIP area.
At this moment, a few big bosses were sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor. They were chatting with each other.
Their postures were either gentlemanly, lazy, or elegant.
When they saw Lu Qingqiao bring a man over and heard her introduce him as her boyfriend, everyone had different expressions on their faces. In the end, they all started to cheer and drink.
"Congratulations to the beautiful President Lu for getting a boyfriend."
"So, CEO Lu likes this type of thing! This news will make many people sad."
"Qingqiao, aren't you being too protective? Can't your young boyfriend drink? Alright, alright, I won't urge you to drink. Let's drink, let's drink."

Qin Xun sat quietly beside Lu Qingqiao. The two of them sat by the window. Outside the window, the night sky of the capital could be seen.
The image of a person burying his head in the cake was printed on the window, like an ink wash painting immersed in the hazy clouds with a hidden glow behind it.
Lu Qingqiao's voice came from beside him. "Don't stare at the child, he gets nervous easily."
Qin Xun couldn't help but look at her a few more times when he heard her talking to these people with ease.
She was undoubtedly extremely beautiful, and her makeup deliberately sharpened her facial features to make her look more dignified.
Upon closer inspection, he found that there was a mole at the corner of her eye. It was deliberately covered up, and it was difficult to see it without looking up close.
Qin Xun's gaze was quickly shifted away by the man who had just arrived. He did not notice that Lu Qingqiao's eyes had narrowed dangerously because of the man's appearance.
The man who arrived was dressed in a suit. He was handsome and gentle like jade. When he looked at people, his eyes were as warm as the spring breeze.
"Long time no see, everyone," Si Jingsen said with a warm smile. His warm gaze finally landed on Lu Qingqiao.
[Si Jingsen: Heir of Ji Rui International. Hasn't returned for a few months because he's been expanding into the overseas market in Country Y.]
Some of them were even looking at Si Jingsen and Lu Qingqiao.
Everyone in the circle knew that Lu Qingqiao and Si Jingsen had been engaged since they were young. Si Jingsen had always been considerate toward Lu Qingqiao, and the man Lu Qingqiao had been in contact with the most over the years was Si Jingsen.
Therefore, many people believed that the two would definitely get married in the future. This was not only their relationship but also the strong alliance between the Lu Corporation and Ji Rui International.
Even so, if the two of them were not married, everyone else had a chance. Therefore, all these years, Lu Qingqiao had been wooed constantly by men.
However, it was different today.
Because Lu Qingqiao had brought her boyfriend!
Her fiancé and her young...boyfriend?
There were many people in the circle, but many people were excited to eat such a big melon in front of them, but they didn't show it on their faces.
When Si Jingsen heard about this, he was stunned as well. He turned to look at Lu Qingqiao.
Their eyes met. Lu Qingqiao's eyes were deep and dark, and there was a chill in them that Si Jingsen could not understand. His heart tightened.
Could she have discovered something?
Then, he saw Lu Qingqiao raise her cup at him with a calm expression and say, "Welcome back."
Welcome back to the storm she brought!
He smiled and dispelled the suspicion in his heart. He raised his glass. "Thank you," he said.
"Brother Sen, you're back." Lu Xueru, who had been showing off to the crowd downstairs, immediately went upstairs when she heard that Si Jingsen had arrived. Her eyes were filled with joy.
"Yes, I brought you a gift. Happy birthday!" Si Jingsen's tone was as genial as ever.
"Thank you, Brother Sen." Lu Xueru felt sweet inside.
"Everyone's here. Let's toast to the birthday girl." Someone suggested.
After Lu Xueru happily drank with everyone, she went to propose a toast to Lu Qingqiao.
