Falling tonight

Chapter 75 Long time no see
Zhao Rou was more fond of her.

Jiang Yinyin looked at Zhao Rou in the mirror, who was almost the same height as her, and suddenly leaned into her ear and said in a voice that was almost the same as the two of them, "You are much more interesting than that fake woman Xinyun, for my taste."

Before Zhao Rou could react to what she said, she saw Mu Zhou straighten up from the chair in the corner and strode behind her with his long legs wrapped in suit pants.

The figures of two people are clearly reflected in the white lighted makeup mirror. The man is standing behind the woman. One is cold and dignified, and the other is cool and dignified. The meticulous black stiff suit and the black skirt made of soft velvet fabric are blended together, creating a beautiful picture.

The two people's eyes collided with each other in the makeup mirror, and the air was filled with an air of taboo ambiguity.

Mu Zhou looked at Zhao Rou in the mirror, and the destructive desire suddenly rose in his heart. He even wanted to hold her down and lift her skirt in front of the mirror.

But... he moved his eyes and looked at the smiling Jiang Yinyin next to him expressionlessly.

Jiang Yinyin stared at them in the mirror for a while, then nodded with satisfaction, "Wow, you two look good together."

Considering the occasion, Mu Zhou suppressed the urge to hug Zhao Rou and cleared his throat without changing his expression, "Let's go if you're ready."

Zhao Rou had not been in Yashi for a long time and did not know much about Yashi's circles. Mu Zhou briefly mentioned tonight's banquet on the way here.

Tonight is a banquet hosted by the Li family. The Li family is engaged in the media industry in Asia City and controls almost all media channels in Asia City. Their status is comparable to that of the Mu family.

Recently, the Li family brought their eldest son who had been living abroad for more than [-] years back to the family and announced that the banquet in the evening was a reception banquet for the eldest son of Li.

When the clock passed seven o'clock, Bentley stopped at an old villa in a wealthy area.

Zhao Rou stepped on high heels, held Mu Zhou's arm, entered the black carved door, and walked inside under the leadership of the servant.

Passing through a quiet cobblestone path, we arrived at the door of the living room, where we could faintly hear the sounds of men and women talking and the crisp clinking of wine glasses.

Entering the living room, the first thing you see is a transparent and bright living room. Crystal chandeliers cover the entire ceiling, casting bright light. There is a long square table in the middle of the living room, with all kinds of handsome men and women sitting on both sides, red wine and flowers, all luxury is displayed.

Sitting at the end of the long table was a male elder with white hair and beard. Although he was old, his eyes were sharp and he exuded an invisible aura of calmness and self-power.

To the left of the elder sat a man of about 27 years old. Different from Mu Zhou's mature and distant temperament, the man wore a white shirt and a black tie. He had short hair and gentle eyebrows. He was elegant and gentle, and spoke to the elder in a natural manner.

Li Jiangli was sitting on the right side of the elder. When he saw Mu Zhou and Zhao Rou coming in, he stood up and waved to them with a smile.

Mu Zhou took Zhao Rou forward and nodded respectfully to the elder on the throne. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "Grandpa Li."

The elder nodded and looked at Mu Zhou and Zhao Rou with his round eyes. His voice was old and powerful, and his beard twitched with the sound, "Mu Zhou is here, let's sit down together."

Then he introduced the man sitting on the left to Mu Zhou.

It turns out that that person is Li Sijin, the eldest son of Li who recently recognized his ancestor.

Li Sijin stood up and greeted Mu Zhou symbolically. He paused when his eyes fell on Zhao Rou inadvertently, and his expression was briefly surprised.

Zhao Rou didn't notice and sat down at the table with Mu Zhou.

As soon as they sat down, Li Jiangli stretched his neck and asked Mu Zhou quietly, "Isn't Yin Yin with you?"

Mu Zhou looked at him indifferently, "If you want to see her, you can't send someone to pick her up. You want me to be your driver?"

Li Jiangli curled his lips and said, "You have gone to the Yinshe, why can't you pick her up along the way? Otherwise, I will have to go find her after this is over."

"She doesn't want to see you," Mu Zhou spread out the napkin in front of him and chuckled, "You want to chase her, but you don't even put in the effort. How can you succeed so easily?"

Zhao Rou listened to their conversation and thought, is Jiang Yin Yin the person that Li Jiangli likes?

That probably has nothing to do with Mu Zhou.

After having this knowledge, she thought of what Jiang Yin Yin whispered to her in the makeup mirror. "You are much more interesting than that fake woman Xin Yun."

It seemed that everyone around Mu Zhou knew about Xinyun's existence, and Zhao Rou became more and more curious about that person.

The dinner began, and the people at the table ate the meals in front of them.

From time to time, someone looked at Zhao Rou beside Mu Zhou and muttered something. Zhao Rou could not hear it because of the distance, but he could see it with his peripheral vision.

In fact, when she entered the venue, Zhao Rou noticed that there were different eyes on her at the table, especially the way women looked at her. Women know women best. Zhao Rou intuitively noticed that there were several eyes looking at her with jealousy. , with scrutiny.

But Mu Zhou led her in without looking sideways, and he had no intention of introducing her to others.

Zhao Rou lowered her eyes and ate the dessert in front of her seriously, ignoring all those disdainful and unkind looks.

Warm air suddenly sprayed on his ears, "I'm going to meet a few people over there."

Zhao Rou looked sideways, Mu Zhou's handsome face magnified as he was close at hand.

There are other distinguished guests dining opposite, and there may be countless pairs of eyes watching from elsewhere. In front of everyone, this distance makes Zhao Rou feel slightly hot.

She nodded and swallowed the sweet dessert in her mouth, "You go ahead."

Zhao Rou opened her big black and white eyes, and her pearl drop earrings swayed gently as she nodded, so obedient and supple that Mu Zhou felt itchy and couldn't help teasing her.

"Why are you acting like a child, with your mouth full of food?" He leaned very close, and the strong aura of a man enveloped her.

"What?" Before Zhao Rou understood what he said, he raised his hand, curled his fingers and gently scraped the corner of her mouth.

The dry and warm touch crossed the corner of her mouth and left for a second. Only then did Zhao Rou react. She subconsciously raised her hand and silently silenced the corner of her mouth. It was clean and there was nothing there.

"Are you naive?" Zhao Rou glared at him angrily.

Of course, she didn't dare to stare too hard. After all, it was a public place, so she could only use moderate eyes to express her dissatisfaction with his behavior.

Mu Zhou smiled softly and told her in detail, "If you're bored, just go outside for a walk. Don't go too far. If you need anything, call me."

Several daughters sitting nearby not far away had been paying attention to Mu Zhou's movements. They saw that Mu Zhou, who was usually stern and unsmiling, not only made intimate gestures to the woman next to him, but also smiled at her tenderly for the first time. This was not the case with Zhao in the past. Never before when Fang Yi appeared.

They were unwilling to accept it, but they had to admit that the woman beside Mu Zhou was beautiful, even more beautiful than Zhao Fangyi who had attended with Mu Zhou in the past.

Just sitting there, his words and deeds showed a natural familiarity and tacit understanding with Mu Zhou.

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Rou twitched her lips to reassure him.

Zhao Rou sat alone and slowly finished the dessert in front of her. She felt that the dessert that melted in her mouth was a little sweet.

She frowned and suddenly remembered that there was a hospitality table at the entrance of the living room. There was tea on the table to relieve tiredness. Maybe she could drink a little to relieve tiredness.

Picking up the wet wipes on the table and wiping her mouth, she got up and walked to the door.

Standing in front of the table, she raised her head and drank a sip of tea and poured it down her throat. The sweetness in her mouth was diluted, and Zhao Rou felt more comfortable, when suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder.

She turned her head and was blocked by a tall male body. When she looked up, she was surprised to find that the person in front of her was the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Li Sijin.

Li Sijin held the wine glass in his right hand, and the black eyes under the frame were smiling, staring at her, "Xiaorou, long time no see."
