Chapter 16: She Falls Back into His Sphere of Influence
Li Yangchen and Qi Feng were chatting, there was a round of applause in front of them, and a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes walked to the podium above the banquet hall, he gestured with both hands, and the audience was silent.
"MD's President Tan Huaxiang." Qi Feng said to her.
"Oh." Li Yangchen didn't expect the head of this big consortium to be so young, and suddenly remembered the gossip that Jiang Yazhi and Wu Jiaxin who met at Dingtai Building that day, she looked at the podium and happened to see Jiang Yazhi not far from the podium.
She didn't pay attention to what the podium man said. In about 10 minutes, the president of MD finished his speech and raised his wine glass, heralding the official start of today's cocktail party.
Soon the music in the ballroom changed to a waltz. There was a cry in front of him, and Li Yangchen saw that it was the president of MD who stepped onto the dance floor with a woman with gorgeous makeup and a graceful figure, but that woman was not Jiang Yazhi. Then men and women danced.
Below the dance floor, men drink tall glasses and talk about current stock prices; Women talk about recent fashions, compliment each other, gossip.
Li Yangchen and Qi Feng didn't like to dance, so the two of them took 2 glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray at the venue and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass to taste wine.
When a friend who knew him said hello to Qi Feng, he went over to socialize. Li Yangchen felt bored and planned to walk to the terrace outside the banquet hall to breathe.
Outside the ballroom is a promenade-like terrace where you can enjoy a view of the rippling waters when the wind blows.
The terrace is different from the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall, and you can feel bustling without being noisy when you are in it.
"Yang Chen." As soon as Li Yangchen sat on the rattan chair placed on the terrace, she heard someone greet her.
followed the voice and looked over and saw Jiang Yazhi walking towards her.
Jiang Yazhi is wearing a red backless dress today, her skin is whiter than snow, and the diamond necklace around her neck is particularly shiny, and the whole person looks beautiful and charming.
"Yazhi, you're so beautiful today." She looked around just now, if there is a dress score, Jiang Yazhi's dress today will definitely be in the top three.
"You are the same today, dressed up elegantly, I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you at the venue just now." Jiang Yazhi's gaze swept around Li Yangchen, and then said, "It was Qi Feng, the former president of the student union, who just stood with you, are you with him now?" "
"No, the senior's girlfriend has something, and I'm here to help him support him temporarily." Sensing that Jiang Yazhi had misunderstood her relationship with Qi Feng, Li Yangchen hurriedly explained.
Jiang Yazhi pulled out his long wavy hair with his hand, looked at the sea in the distance, and smiled: "No wonder." I remember you didn't like to go to such a banquet. "
The two sat on the rattan chairs and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when Jiang Yazhi learned that Li Yangchen had come to the hotel for the first time, he proposed to take her to the dining area to try the food served by the starred Michelin-starred restaurant.
When the two walked back to the door of the banquet hall, a man came out of the corner, with a tall figure, and suddenly the male facial features that were close at hand made Li Yangchen pause, and he forgot to look away for a while.
Jiang Yazhi also saw the person coming, and immediately piled up an incomprehensible official smile and greeted respectfully: "Mr. Mo." "
Mo Yiyan bowed her head slightly, and then looked at Li Yangchen. Jiang Yazhi noticed the man's gaze, and saw that his gaze was swirling around Li Yangchen, so he stretched out his hand, intending to introduce, and said, "I'll introduce..."
He stared at Li Yangchen, his eyes were deep, and his good-looking fingers gently stroked the shirt cuff on his other wrist, and said, "It turned out to be Miss Li, I know." "
"Mr. Mo." Li Yangchen nodded and said hello, her expression was very uncomfortable.
Jiang Yazhi was very surprised, and didn't understand what level of relationship Mo Yiyan and Li Yangchen was. She knew that Mo Yiyan was Qi Feng's cousin, but it was Qi Feng who brought Li Yangchen over for a cocktail party today, and she couldn't figure out the situation for a while.
"Mr. Mo, you are busy first, let's go to the dining area first." Li Yangchen said, and took Jiang Yazhi's hand and walked around him.
After the two walked a few steps, Jiang Yazhi opened his mouth next to him: "You are very familiar with Mr. Mo?" "
"Not familiar." Didn't explain either.
Jiang Yazhi's face was unwavering, but Li Yangchen caught the surprise in her eyes.
On the terrace of the banquet hall, Mo Yiyan and Qi Feng stood by the railing and smoked.
"What's the matter with you?" Mo Yiyan put one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand held a cigarette, staring at Qi Feng and asked.
"What's going on?" Qi Feng didn't understand what he was referring to.
"Li Yangchen." The thin lips opened slightly, and said 3 words.
Qi Fengyi came over and said faintly: "I quarreled with Linna, so I asked Yang Chen to help me support the field, Linna knows her, and anything can be explained." "
"Aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will misunderstand?" Mo Yiyan stared at him for a while, then raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What boyfriend? Yang Chen is still single. I also planned to introduce the engineers of Genting Technology to her, Yang Chen likes science men, and there will be more common topics. Qi Feng said to himself.
"Really?" Mo Yiyan spat out a smoke ring, his expression unfathomable.
In the dining area, the food served by the starred Michelin-starred restaurants is so dazzling that you don't know where to start.
After Jiang Yazhi brought Li Yangchen over, she helped her choose a few desserts.
Jiang Yazhi didn't eat much, and his eyes looked at the podium in the banquet hall from time to time. Li Yangchen could see her carelessness at a glance, thinking of Wu Jiaxin's words and the scene of the dance just now, she knew a little in her heart, and didn't take the initiative to say anything, just sat there silently.
After a while, Jiang Yazhi answered the phone, got up and told Li Yangchen that she had gone out beforehand.
After answering the phone, her mood was obviously much brighter than just now.
It just so happened that Qi Feng also came to the dining area to find Li Yangchen, looked at Jiang Yazhi's back as he left, and asked, "That's Jiang Yazhi!" Are you still in touch with her after graduation? "
"I met not long ago." Li Yangchen knew that Qi Feng didn't like Jiang Yazhi when he was in the student union, and always felt that she liked to be in the limelight too much.
"Oh, I heard that she has come to Pengcheng to open a trading company now, and her skills are not small!" Qi Feng said faintly.
"Senior, do you want to eat something, the dessert here is good." As he spoke, Li Yangchen took a cheesecake for Qi Feng.
"After socializing for a long time, I was hungry. Thank you! After Qi Feng sat down, he took it.
After eating, his hands were a little sticky, Li Yangchen got up and said to Qi Feng, and planned to go to the bathroom to clean it.
In the cubicle of the bathroom, Li Yangchen sorted out his clothes and was about to open the door, when there was the sound of high heels hitting the ground and talking to a woman.
"Amy, did you see Jiang Yazhi's expression just now? Tsk, that face is miserable! It's so refreshing to watch! "
"Why didn't you see it? I have said it a long time ago, how could Mr. Tan fall in love with such a cheesy woman. still wants to fly on the branch as a phoenix, this is a slap in the face! "
Li Yangchen was not interested in eavesdropping, so he pushed the door open.
"That is, I still want to be Mrs. Tan, and I don't look at what kind of goods I am. The eldest lady of the Huo family is the fiancée of Mr. Tan. "
The voice fell, followed by the sound of turning the door lock, and the two people outside the door looked at each other, and although the woman who came out of them had delicate facial features and a slender figure, they didn't know each other, so they continued to gossip.
"Did you see Mo Yiyan from Huanyu just now, he didn't seem to bring a female companion today, you said I would invite him to dance later, how about it?"
"You, save it! I heard that he doesn't like women who have undergone plastic surgery, and your hyaluronic acid has not gone down yet, so don't use your hot face to stick to someone's cold buttocks. "
...
Above the washroom is a rattan woven lampshade with soft light, and the edges of the bust mirror are curved, and the mirror surface does not stick to a trace of dust.
Li Yangchen stood in front of the marble sink, her hands reached out to the faucet, the water made a gurgling sound, she washed her hands intently, her expression was always cold, and even the afterglow was not given to the two women beside her.
The two women next to him touched up their makeup and walked out with their waists twisted.
After Li Yangchen left the bathroom, he planned to go back to Qi Feng, but he didn't know if he had any entertainment there.
Li Yangchen thinks that she is not as good as Yan Zhuoling and Wu Jiaxin in terms of interpersonal communication, and is even a little barren, so she feels very interested in such a banquet.
Walking around the corner, I actually saw Mo Yiyan standing there, as if waiting for someone.
He was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and wore a well-textured black suit, which was a few points better than those models who walked at the top of fashion.
When Li Yangchen saw him, he wanted to walk around him. Not wanting him to move closer to her, she instinctively stepped back.
Came to her, stood still, put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at her with lowered eyes, and said, "Miss Li's boyfriend is really generous, he promised you to be someone else's female companion." "
His words caught Li Yangchen off guard. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "He believes in me." "
The smile in the corner of his eyes deepened, his right hand slowly stretched out, and his thick palm was spread out, and he handed it to Li Yangchen: "Then, I think Miss Li's boyfriend doesn't mind you dancing with me!" "
Li Yangchen's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously retorted: "I won't ..."
Mo Yiyan: "The waltz of the Z University graduation ceremony, Qi Feng said that it was the dance you led, how could it be?" "
Li Yangchen: "..." seniors talk a lot.
She quickly swept around, and everyone next to her was watching her. If she doesn't agree, will she lose face with this man? That's rude.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yangchen stretched out his hand and put it into his palm.
Mo Yiyan held her outstretched hand, grinned, and her eyes were starry.
He wrapped her tightly and hugged her onto the dance floor.
A new waltz sounded, and he took her around her waist and danced.
Today's evening dress has a long skirt, she is wearing a pair of 10 cm high heels, just touching Mo Yiyan's chin, she raised her head slightly, he lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes were facing each other, and it was not only his eyes that were close to him, but also his lips.
"You're beautiful today." Mo Yiyan stared at Li Yangchen intently.
The man's gentle voice drilled into her cochlea, and Li Yangchen held her breath and didn't dare to raise her head.
However, the dance floor was an extremely ambiguous place, and at such a close distance, all the breath of his speech sprayed on her fair face. Li Yangchen's cheeks involuntarily warmed up, a little unable to bear his close breath and good-looking facial features, his heartbeat accelerated, and he began to feel a little at a loss.
Obviously, the man in front of her also noticed her panic, hooked the corners of his mouth, and whispered, "Don't be nervous." "
Li Yangchen avoided his breathing, but the other party didn't let her have a chance to escape.
She takes a step back, he goes further, she goes further, he takes a step back. He let go of her hand, spun around, and she fell back into his sphere of influence.
Outsiders only think that the two of them are very tacit.
