President's Brand

Chapter 16

Xi Mu's eyes were gleaming golden, and even his breathing became heavy.

Qin Ran warmly greeted everyone to order food, during which she kept asking Ling He's preferences frequently.Ling He had a gentle smile from the beginning to the end, talking to her softly from time to time.

Xi Mu tried her best to ignore the dazzling warm scene on the opposite side. She lowered her head and took a few deep breaths. After adjusting her stiff expression, she raised her head and heard Qin Ran shouting, "Brother Xiyao!"

Not far away, Qiao Xiyao was surrounded by a group of men in suits and leather shoes. When he heard the cry, he raised his head and glanced over, with a smile on his lips.Raising his hand to dismiss the group of people, he walked over gracefully.

"Are you here too?" Qin Yao saw him coming, got up naturally, and gave him a seat.Just to give up the empty seat next to Xi Mu.

Almost the moment she saw him, Xi Mu felt as cold as being in an ice cellar. Seeing him walking happily, she lowered her head guiltily.

"Talk about something!" Qiao Xiyao sat down with a calm smile, saw Qin Ran smiling at him, and said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Ran is back." Those obsidian-like eyes swept over someone who was afraid to look down at him. Man, the corners of his mouth curved unconsciously.

Qin Ran saw his soft tone, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Brother Xiyao, long time no see."

She looked at the man sitting across from her just now, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and when she saw the people around her, she quickly restrained herself, "By the way, Brother Xiyao, you saw Sister Ning recently..."

"Xiao Ran!" Qin Yao's face changed when he heard the question his sister was going to ask, and he hurriedly stopped it.

After receiving Qin Yao's sharp gaze, Qin Ran, who was belatedly aware, also understood, and immediately silenced his voice.

The atmosphere on the table was suddenly stiff, Qiao Xiyao took a sip of the water on the table, his expression naturally did not fluctuate, as if he didn't hear the words just now.When he saw Ling He, he nodded. They met each other at some banquets, but they didn't talk deeply.The two smiled gently at the same time, a completely polite greeting.

The men at the dinner table chatted happily, talking about intrigues in the mall.Xi Mu ate this meal like chewing wax, she kept her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart.

Raising her head inadvertently, she happened to see Qin Ran who was also dull, both of them looked bored and smiled at each other.

The smile on the corner of Xi Mu's mouth was too late to take back when he saw Ling He stretch out his hand and naturally turn his dinner plate around, placing it securely in front of Qin Ran.The man is affectionate, the woman is flattered, and the pieces of steak cut in the dinner plate, all of which deeply hurt her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Xi Mu's throat was uncomfortable, and he strode away regardless of the strange expressions of other people.

In the bright mirror of the bathroom, a pale face was reflected.Xi Mu turned on the faucet, listening to the sound of rushing water, those beautiful memories rolled in her heart, stimulating her fragile nerves.

After a long time, she put away the sad expression on her face, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

As soon as Xi Mu walked out of the bathroom door, a black shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and before she could distinguish her body, someone pushed her back and leaned against the wall in the corner.The man in front of him had a cold smile on his lips, and the deep eyes in his eyes made her startled.

There were people coming and going in the corridor, Xi Mu was afraid that people would notice their ambiguous posture, she heard the approaching footsteps, and kept struggling in his arms, "Let me go..."

Qiao Xiyao admired her bright red face playfully, raised his hand to caress her smooth chin, the smile in his eyes deepened, and said in a low tone, "Tonight, I want to see you!"

When Xi Mu returned to the dining table, Qiao Xiyao had long since disappeared. Seeing his vacant seat, her heart tightened. His words just now rang in her ears again. After finishing the meal absent-mindedly, the four of them left with their own thoughts .

Rejecting Qin Yao's intention to send her home, Xi Mu watched the black Spyker disappear in front of his eyes, but his heart was still sore.

It was late at night, and the streets were still noisy.

Xi Mu lowered her head and walked numbly. There were occasionally laughing passers-by by her side, but the hustle and bustle of the outside world could not affect her at all.

Tianjie Garden was built on the busiest section of T City, and there are a large number of high-end residential areas nearby.Although it is adjacent to the busy city, it is quiet in the middle of the bustle, which is unique.

In the Tianjie Garden, there is a Western European classical style building, and there is a huge fountain in the middle of the courtyard.The three-story circular fountain water column is surrounded by colorful spotlights. The water column is sprinkled for a long time, and it is dazzlingly reflected by the spotlights.

Behind the fountain, stands a bronze statue.The three-meter-high bronze sculpture portrays a knight with handsome features and eyes. The knight with a shield in his hand wears a golden battle robe and rides a tall horse with vigor and majesty.

Under the night, Xi Mu stared at the bronze statue in a daze. Every girl has a princess dream!In the past, she thought she had waited for her prince, but fate played a big joke on her.

When will her prince be able to travel across mountains and rivers to come for her?

He took out a brand new key and opened the door with a click.Through the crack of the opened door, the inside was pitch black, Xi Mu mustered up his courage, stretched out his hand and pushed the door lightly, and entered.

Open the door, the room is cold.

In the dark, Xi Mu fumbled to turn on the wall lamp, and the dim light came on, allowing her to slowly look at the house.

In Nuoda's living room, the walls are painted a dull gray, and the main color of the house is metallic.The white floor under your feet is very eye-catching. In the center of the hall, under the long black coffee table is an imported gray plush carpet.

A set of retro European-style leather sofas is low-key yet luxurious, and the gilding decoration on the table legs shows the gorgeousness of the owner.The huge LCD TV on the opposite side occupies almost the entire wall.

Looking at everything in front of him, Xi Mu couldn't help admiring the master's taste in his heart.She looked at the house once, and when she passed the bedroom, she jumped over in a panic, not daring to touch it.

The wall clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock, and Xi Mu's nervous heartbeat accelerated. She chose to sit in the corner of the sofa, clutching the corners of her clothes nervously with both hands.Breathing carefully, she kept her eyes fixed on the direction of the gate, as if she was a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.
