Chapter 22

It's getting late.

Gu Yuling rubbed the hem of her skirt, looking left and right but refused to meet Sheng Jingxun's eyes.

"You look a little nervous," Sheng Jingxun leaned slantingly aside, crossed his hands on his lap, and said in a lazy tone, "It's just a small party."

What he didn't know was that Gu Yuling had always been good at shutting herself in a room and never knew how to take the initiative to get along with others, which made her seem boring and rigid.

Of course, except in front of Sheng Jingxun.

"I know," Gu Yuling replied in a low voice, but a cramped smile appeared in her eyes when she raised her eyes, she couldn't keep herself from being nervous.

The evening dress that Sheng Jingxun sent was simple and generous, and perfectly outlined her good figure. She herself never thought that one day she would be so radiant.

The inferiority complex in her bones, even if she tries to hide it, will still be revealed.

"As my female companion, you need to be more confident," Sheng Jingxun suddenly approached, winked at her, his face narrowed, "Designer Gu, there will be more occasions like this in the future."

Looking at the handsome face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, Gu Yuling held his breath unconsciously.

When the two appeared in the party hall, it was still a while before the party started.

Gu Yuling took a deep breath desperately, her hand wrapped around Sheng Jingxun's arm, but it tightened a lot at the moment, Sheng Jingxun noticed her nervousness, so she patted the back of her hand lightly to show her comfort.

Strangely, her heart really settled down a lot.

"Shengjingxun!" An excited shout came, Gu Yuling followed, and turned his head somewhat mechanically, only to see a man in white walking through the crowd and standing in front of the two.

Who dares to call him by his first name?

She cast a suspicious look at Sheng Jingxun.

"Xu Dong?" Sheng Jingxun's expression was also a little surprised, but more of a surprise, his eyes lit up, "Aren't you abroad? Don't tell me when you come back!"

Saying that, he punched Xu Dong on the shoulder.

It seemed that the relationship was good, Gu Yuling was relieved, subconsciously pulled out his hand, and then silently took a step back and hid beside Sheng Jingxun.

She was used to keeping a low profile, but it was too late.

The two exchanged a few words, and Xu Dong brought the topic to Gu Yuling, who smiled maliciously, "Is this, sister-in-law?"

"no!"

Gu Yuling didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly raised his head and denied it.

Immediately, she saw Sheng Jingxun's face suddenly darken, she swallowed and pretended not to see, "I am Mr. Sheng's subordinate, and I was ordered to be his female companion."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yuling realized that he was done.

She glanced at Sheng Jingxun's expression from the corner of her eye, but hurriedly lowered her eyes after feeling the threat of bloodthirsty, and then she heard Xu Dong's unscrupulous laughter.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not an outsider, you don't have to explain it so official, right?" Xu Dong laughed, "I understand!"

After he finished speaking, he winked at Gu Yuling and said, "I really admire you, you dare to be with such a person, tsk tsk tsk, if I do, I'll run away!"

"Xu Dong!" Sheng Jingxun gritted his teeth.

Gu Yuling's relaxed mood immediately returned to before liberation. She looked at the two in front of her with tears in her eyes, and there was nothing else she could do but pray silently.

However, it can be known that this Xu Dong and Sheng Jingxun have a good relationship.

"Cough, since my sister-in-law has introduced me, let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Dong. I am Sheng Jingxun's childhood sweetheart... hello rival!"

After listening to his introduction, Sheng Jingxun's head was full of black lines.

childhood sweetheart? Gu Yuling hooked her lips and cast an inquiring look at Sheng Jingxun, why didn't she know he liked this?

At this time, Sheng Jingxun's face had turned into a pig liver color, he glared at Xu Dong, "I don't think I have anything to do with this person!"

After he finished speaking, he pulled up Gu Yuling and turned to leave.

Xu Dong blocked the way of the two with a dodge, he begged with a smile, "Just kidding, I promise not to covet your little beauty."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to swear, and Gu Yuling burst out laughing.

The arrival of Sheng Jingxun brought the atmosphere of the party to a climax in an instant. He stood on the stage, and all the rays of light fell on him, making him look like a god descending from the sky.

Gu Yuling sat under the stage and looked at the man quietly. Her fingers turned white because of too much force, but her palm-sized face was full of blush.

She tried her best to suppress the tumultuous emotions in her heart. Although there was a lot of people in the hall, she could only hear the sound of her heartbeat.

"Sister-in-law?" Xu Dong's voice saved her.

Gu Yuling hurriedly turned her head and showed an embarrassed smile, "What's wrong?"

"Your skirt" Xu Dong pointed to the hem of her skirt, the corners of his mouth trembling because it was too hard to hold back laughter, "It seems that you are really infatuated with Sheng Jingxun."

Following his line of sight, Gu Yuling looked down and saw that his skirt was pinched and wrinkled, like a ball of pickles.

She quickly released her hand, only to feel her face getting hotter.

"What's your purpose in approaching him?" Xu Dong suddenly lowered his head, and threw an unclear question in a voice that only two people could hear.

Looking at each other, Gu Yuling was a little stunned, she repeated it gently, "Purpose?"

Xu Dong glanced at Sheng Jingxun who was chatting on the stage, the corners of his lips curved suddenly, revealing an unpredictable smile, "I've seen a lot of women like you, it's not easy to climb onto Sheng Jingxun's bed, In this respect, you are a relatively successful one.”

In the flash of light and flint, Gu Yuling suddenly understood what he meant, and was struck by lightning.

The next second, Xu Dong interrupted Sheng Jingxun with a scream. Everyone followed the reputation, but they didn't see anything.

"For the sake of your being his friend, I don't care about you, but if you let me hear such words again, I will definitely make you regret it." Gu Yuling leaned over to his ear, smiling from his teeth. Squeeze these words out of the seam, then pick up the skirt and leave decisively.

Xu Dong sat on the spot, hugging his knees in pain, his eyes resentful.

When Sheng Jingxun finished his speech and stepped off the stage, he found that Gu Yuling was nowhere to be seen. A trace of nervousness flashed across his face, and then he grabbed Xu Dong's collar, "Where's the person?"

His incomparably deep voice showed his anger, but Xu Dong was obviously more in pain than him.

"What kind of woman did you find!" he growled angrily, the severe pain from his knee made him look hideous.

"I made two random jokes with her, and she kicked me. I guess she's home now!"

Sheng Jingxun was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Who asked you to provoke her?"

Xu Dong cried out, but when he saw Sheng Jingxun striding towards the door, he was stunned. Could it be that this woman really has some special magic power?

With Sheng Jingxun's departure, Xu Dong slowly stood up, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and his lips moved slightly, which was completely different from the image of the hanging boy just now.

Things seem to get a lot more interesting.
