"Sorry, he's already taken~"
Lu Xiaoyou hooked her arm around Long Xiliang's, standing beside the man with a smirk as she looked at the tactless woman.
After Lu Xiaoyou appeared, all the noise was blocked out. The surroundings of Long Xiliang quieted down, and even the unfamiliar woman pressing up to him became inaudible to his ears.
"To snatch someone's partner in such a setting, Miss, you sure have some thick skin~"
Lu Xiaoyou's voice was sweet and flirtatious as she unapologetically called the woman out, who huffed coldly and turned on her heel to leave.
Lu Xiaoyou maintained her grip on Long Xiliang's arm, her body gently leaning against his.
"Your charm is really something, I take my eyes off you for one second, and there's already a woman throwing herself at you."
Long Xiliang steered her towards a corner inside the venue, distracting himself by asking as they walked:
"How did you find me?"
