Chapter 466: She Likes You!
Lu Hao looked at Lan Xi’s back, his face full of helplessness.He looked at Zhao Jia Min and said lightly, "Lan Xi speaks her mind, she means no harm."
Zhao Jia Min smiled slightly, "Why would I take issue with a young girl? I can tell, she likes you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Hao’s face instantly darkened, "I still need to entertain other guests, please make yourself at home."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Lu Hao!" Zhao Jia Min called out to him.
Lu Hao paused, turning back to look at her.
Zhao Jia Min took out an exquisite, small gift box from her bag, "Happy birthday."
Lu Hao glanced at it, but did not take it, sneering, "Could it be something used by another man, and you’re just passing it on to me?"
Zhao Jia Min’s expression subtly changed, "Lu Hao, how could you think of me like that?"
"Isn’t what I’m saying the truth?" Lu Hao said with sarcasm.
Zhao Jia Min pressed her lips together, "It’s your birthday today, I don’t want to argue about this, go greet your friends."
She shoved the gift into his hand and turned to walk back to her friends.
Lu Hao looked at the gift box in his hand, the corner of his mouth tugged into a self-mocking smile.
Lan Xi returned to Mu Yan’s side, sat down and picked up a glass of wine from the table, downing it in one go.
"Lan Xi, what are you doing?" Zheng Lu Hua said in a low voice.
"Don’t bother me!" Lan Xi said unhappily.
Mu Yan and Zheng Lu Hua exchanged glances, what’s going on? Ate gunpowder?
Lan Xi paid no mind to what they thought, continuing to drink one glass after another.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before most people had arrived, and the party started.
Everyone gathered together, there were even more people present than Zhao Xiyue’s birthday banquet last time.
Mu Yan stood beside Jiang Jingheng, looking around, everyone was dressed especially beautifully, with branded jewelry competing for attention, fully showcasing the luxury of the wealthy class.
According to Zheng Lu Hua, about half of the social elite from the rich second-generation circle in Upper City came today.
It was probably because Jiang Jingheng’s identity was too dazzling, that many people’s attention fell on her.
An invisible pressure emerged from her heart, but she was a good actress, able to hide her inner unease.
Suddenly, her gaze met that of the beautiful woman who had just been talking to Lu Hao.
The other woman was examining her, with a slight frown and a strong dislike in her eyes.
Mu Yan felt an inexplicable feeling, had she offended her somehow?
Soon, a giant birthday cake was pushed out, and her attention shifted to it.
Lu Hao made a wish amidst the coaxing, and Lan Xi blew out the candles.
She finally had a smile on her face, standing next to Lu Hao, appearing gentle and dependent.
Mu Yan and Zheng Lu Hua exchanged a glance, it finally cleared up after the storm.
Everyone surrounded Lu Hao for a while, making a mess with the cake everywhere.
Mu Yan was spared thanks to Jiang Jingheng’s protection, after all, no one dared to mess with him.
Dong Le and others found a place, gathering together to play cards.
Mu Yan didn’t know how to play, so she sat quietly beside Jiang Jingheng watching him play.
She knew Jiang Jingheng was excellent, but didn’t expect him to be so skilled at cards too.
He could even calculate the cards Ning Ze and Dong Le were holding, it was terrifying.
Ning Ze and the others grumbled as they lost, "Brother Jiang, if you keep winning like this, you might lose us someday."
Song Cheng’an joked, "What does it matter if he loses you, as long as he has his missus."
Mu Yan was a bit embarrassed by his words, glancing at Jiang Jingheng beside her.
Jiang Jingheng also looked at her, his delicate peach blossom eyes full of tenderness.
Ning Ze and the others quietly stopped talking, comparing oneself to his missus was asking for trouble.
Suddenly, Zheng Lu Hua came over and asked, "Have you guys seen Lan Xi?"
