delayed love

Bai Xu didn't hold back his voice, as soon as he said those words, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.As if being paused by a button, even Lin Xi was stunned for two seconds, and turned to look at him in surprise.

But he didn't take it seriously, he leaned on the sofa, crossed his long legs, rested his head on the armrest with one hand and lazily supported his head with the other, and said softly, "Didn't you say I'm sorry, why don't you take it off."

Everyone: "..."

Just hearing Bai Xu's tone, President Xiao Wan didn't dare to answer for Song Ning.

He dared not, let alone others.

For a while, Song Ning stood alone in the same place, as if he had been stripped naked, and let people visit. Whispering voices came from around, accompanied by a few sighs.

Song Ning had never been so embarrassed.

She pinned her hopes on President Xiao Wan, but the other party quickly looked away after meeting her eyes, showing no intention of helping at all.

Obviously he insisted on bringing her here...

"Young Master Bai, don't be joking. I'll go to the bathroom later and change out of my gown."

"Heh." Bai Xu narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"Don't talk about it now, if you had a relationship with the third brother before, you weren't qualified enough for me to joke with you."

"Do you still need someone to remind you how much you weigh?"

Bai Xu made it clear that he wanted to keep Song Ning from coming to the stage, but Lin Xi pretended not to hear, drinking in silence.

The red wine prepared for today's dinner is not bad, the year is okay, it should be privately kept.

The phone in the bag rang.

Lin Xi took it out to check the news.

Cheng Si: "What's the situation? You followed Bai Xu to the auction?"

Lin Xi pursed her lips and typed with one hand: "Fourth brother's news is a bit slow."

After a pause, she asked again, "Why didn't I see you today?"

It was quite surprising that Cheng Si didn't come on such an occasion.

Cheng Si: "I'll be there soon. What's going on with you, what is Bai Xu doing?"

Cheng Si must have heard something, hesitated for a while, and Lin Xi told him the current situation.

Two seconds later, Cheng Si replied with a series of ellipsis, which showed how speechless he was.

"Stay away from him." Cheng Si reminded: "Let him make trouble, don't be dragged into the water by him. Hurry up and leave."

"Got it." It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, even if Cheng Si didn't say anything, she didn't plan to stay any longer.

Putting down her glass, she stood up.

Seeing this, Bai Xu shifted his gaze to her, "Where are you going?"

She gave him a disgusted look, "Bathroom. Do you want to follow?"

Bai Xu shrugged and didn't follow.

Song Ning took a deep look at her, and suddenly stopped her when she took a step: "Miss Lin."

"..."

Many people around turned their heads, all with a cautious posture of watching the show.

Everyone wanted to join in the fun, but they were afraid it would be too obvious, so they had to stop talking and try to hear clearly.

Lin Xi turned slightly sideways and looked at her: "What do you want from me?"

"My apologies to you, I didn't expect to bump into my shirt today. Miss Lin, don't be angry, I'll change it now, do you think it's okay?"

All of a sudden, the spearhead was aimed at Lin Xi.

As if she was the one behind it.

Hearing this, Lin Xi smiled lightly, "Does what you wear have anything to do with me?"

"You can change it if you want, take it off if you want, is it unnecessary to ask me? Or, Miss Song is pointing at me by asking this question? Do you want me to change this one?"

"If it is, you can just say it directly. You don't need to beat around the bush like this. Miss Song has always had a lot of face. If you speak up once, of course I have to do it."

Because she was severely disciplined by her elder brother since she was a child, Lin Xi just doesn't like to care about others.But if the yin and yang really got angry, it was on par with Bai Xu.

She is not a little white flower.

Never was.

Since she was a child, no one can bully her.

"That's not what I meant." Song Ning didn't expect her to slap her backwards, and stepped forward awkwardly, wanting to get closer and have a good chat with her. "I……"

Just before she could reach Lin Xi, the table opposite was kicked hard, and the goblet on the table shook, then fell to the ground and exploded at her feet.

Song Ning shrank her shoulders in fright, and tremblingly looked at the perpetrator.

"Try one more step forward." Bai Xu still had a smile on his face, but he was not as friendly as before.

"Well, well." In the distance, Cheng Si rushed over after hearing the sound.

Lin Xi felt annoyed and took the opportunity to leave.

-

In the bathroom cubicle, Lin Xi turned on her phone and glanced briefly at the message Cheng Si had just sent.

She didn't return.When he was about to open the door to go out, there was a conversation outside.

"Just now Song Ning offended the eldest lady of the Lin family? Tsk, just because she wore the same dress, she was humiliated in public."

"Hush! You can't talk nonsense about this."

"Why?"

"Do you think Song Ning is such a good thing? Maybe he deliberately wore the same style today to offend the Lin family. Didn't you see that the two of them are very similar in their clothes and outfits today?"

"It's true. Song Ning wore her hair up at the beginning, and then let her hair fall down at the back. Looking at the back, the two of them really look exactly the same."

"In the early years, do you know why Song Ning was able to get into the eyes of the master of the Qin family?"

"Didn't they say they were alumni abroad? They should have known each other a long time ago."

"Tch, there are too many alumni of Mr. Qin. Look at Song Ning, her family is not bad in a small place, but in Beijing, her background is not worth mentioning. Compared with the Lin family, It's the sky and the earth. It stands to reason that a person like her has no right to approach President Qin."

"Then why?"

"I heard that it's because she looks somewhat similar to that of the Lin family."

Immediately afterwards, there was an exclamation from outside.

Lin Xi frowned slightly.

What kind of nonsense is being spread in this circle, does it have anything to do with her?
Who spread this version so casually?

She stretched out her hand and was about to push the door, not wanting to listen any more.

This kind of gossip really has no truth at all.

It also sounds like polluting the ears.

"Keep your voice down! Everyone in the circle knows that Boss Qin has Bai Yueguang, whom he can't love."

"So... the one from the Lin family?"

"Of course!"

"..." Lin Xi stopped pushing the door.

The two outside talked more and more vigorously, and their voices gradually became louder.

"It's true, it's not nonsense, right?"

"If it's fake, will Mr. Qin still let this news spread to the present? This is clearly the default attitude. You see, now that the Lin family has returned to China, what's the matter with Song Ning?"

"Then the Lin family doesn't like Mr. Qin?"

"Who knows. Anyway..."

"Anyway, what? Don't be a fool!"

"I don't know if you like it or not, anyway, Mr. Qin and Miss Lin's family are definitely out of luck."

"Why? No matter what you say, the two are a good match, right?"

"Because in the early years, President Qin's mother and Miss Lin's father were childhood sweethearts, and they were almost engaged. Later, Miss Lin's mother stepped in..."
