Su Xiaong hurriedly raised her hand to greet Ren Yixuan, then walked up quickly.
"When did you arrive? I didn’t see you earlier."
"I got here late and the donation ceremony had already started, so I stayed over there and didn’t co over."
Ren Yixuan explained briefly, his gaze passing over Su Xiaong to look at Rong Jing standing behind Xiao ng, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Rong Jing?"
"En."
Su Xiaong responded.
Facing Su Xiaong’s unconscious frown, Ren Yixuan chuckled softly and said in a low voice,
"Judging by your expression... Isn’t Rong Jing chasing after you?"
"..."
Su Xiaong suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief at Ren Yixuan.
Could this guy read minds?!
Seeing her surprise, Ren Yixuan knew he had hit the nail on the head.
Lowering his head, he said,
"How many years have I known you? Your thoughts are written all over your face, how could I not see them?"
Su Xiaong instinctively covered her face,
"Is it still like that now? I feel like I’ve already..."
"You’ve managed to hide it quite well, right?"
Su Xiaong nodded; she truly believed she had concealed it well.
Ren Yixuan smiled; she might act well in front of others, but even Su Xiaong didn’t realize that she couldn’t hide her thoughts from him.
Not saying more, he simply added,
"Co on, let’s have a drink with Young Master Rong. After all... we share quite a bond with him."
"Oh."
Su Xiaong turned back with Ren Yixuan and walked up to Rong Jing. Ren Yixuan raised his glass,
"Young Master Rong, cheers to you."
Rong Jing looked at Ren Yixuan, then at Su Xiaong, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Su Xiaong was curious about what the man was laughing about, but she didn’t ask directly.
Instead, Ren Yixuan spoke first,
"Young Master Rong, even if you’re chasing after Xiao ng, shouldn’t you do it less... um, unusually?"
"..."
Rong Jing was taken aback, then glanced at Su Xiaong again, and suddenly laughed,
"You even told Ren Yixuan about this, you two..."
"What Young Master Rong is doing is so obvious, we’re not blind, do you think others can’t see?"
Rong Jing stared at Ren Yixuan for a long ti and said,
"What’s in my heart is visible to everyone, so Ren Yixuan, do you think what’s in your heart isn’t seen by others?"
"Rong Jing, that’s enough. Don’t use your petty mind to judge others’ noble intentions!"
Rong Jing took a step forward,
"Su Xiaong, the man beside you has loved you for twenty years, and you actually manage to define it vaguely as ’friendship’."
"The relationships I have with others really don’t need Young Master Rong’s concern."
Rong Jing took another step forward, his toes almost touching Su Xiaong’s shoes. Just as Ren Yixuan was about to reach out and separate them, he saw Rong Jing raise his hand,
"I’m talking to Su Xiaong. Shouldn’t a gentleman refrain from eavesdropping?"
"..."
Ren Yixuan glanced at Su Xiaong, Su Xiaong took a shallow breath, and gave Ren Yixuan a look, indicating it’s okay.
Rong Jing leaned towards Su Xiaong’s ear, his lips moved slightly, and Su Xiaong’s face instantly lost half its color.
After speaking, he stepped back two steps to a relatively safe and polite distance.
Su Xiaong pursed her lips, facing Rong Jing’s smiling snake-like eyes...
"You chat, see you later."
Rong Jing raised his glass and clinked it with Ren Yixuan’s, then drained the red wine in his glass,
"I drink first as a sign of respect, you take your ti."
"Mr. Rong, don’t forget our previous bet."
"Don’t worry."
Ren Yixuan took a slight sip of red wine.
As Rong Jing walked away, the large hall was filled with business elites, entrepreneurs exchanging ideas, discussing, seeking cooperation.
In the business world, Xiao ng wasn’t skilled at this set of social gas; wandering there were several directors led by Chen Lan from the company.
"What did he say?"
Ren Yixuan noticed the change in Xiao ng’s expression after Rong Jing said sothing to her and asked.
What was said...
Su Xiaong pursed her lips and looked at Ren Yixuan,
"Do you know about the Yin Family Old Mansion being auctioned?"
Ren Yixuan nodded,
"Why? Are you planning to buy the Yin Mansion back at the auction?"
"Do you think... I should do that?"
"I don’t think you should do that."
"..."
Su Xiaong subconsciously frowned, "Why?"
Ren Yixuan smiled at her,
"Do you think Yin Shiqing would allow you to buy back the Yin Mansion?"
"...I think he just wants to swindle for so money. Maybe... a very large amount."
