    “What’s wrong?”

    In the quietly driving Bentley, Mei Tang saw the person beside her frowning and asked in a low voice.

    Qiao Qiao was silent for a while, then gave up on himself and said: “This dress is too sexy, it makes me very uncomfortable…”

    “My dear, you just don’t get used to the lack of clothes you wear.” Mei Tang smiled knowingly, “Such good skin and such beautiful shoulders should be admired by others.”

    Then why don’t you run around naked?I see your skin is pretty good too.

    Qiao Qiao secretly cursed, simply gave up communicating with Mei Tang, and turned to look out the window.

    In the night, the outline of the splendid hotel gradually emerged. The main entrance was very crowded. A long red carpet extended from inside, and the two sides were crowded with reporters holding long guns and short cannons.

    Qiao Qiao was startled: “Why are there so many people?”

    “There will be some celebrities coming tonight.” Mei Tang said nonchalantly, “We’ll take the side door, don’t worry.”

    As expected, Bentley took another detour. Qiao Qiao turned around and saw a young man whose face could not be seen clearly standing on the red carpet. The sea of flashlights almost drowned him.

    The two entered the hotel from the side door and walked through a long corridor to the banquet hall.

    Before entering the door, Mei Tang stretched out her arm in front of Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still held his hand honestly.

    This guy seems to be obsessed with ‘showing affection’ in front of others.

    Qiao Qiao is already familiar with the rest of the process. She doesn’t need to say or do anything. She just needs to stand quietly next to Mei Tang and act as a decoration. When the exhibition is almost done, Mei Tang will give her a hint and she can go to the corner to move freely for a while and eat and drink.

    All processes are shattered when they see one person——

    Jing Wen.

    Qiao Qiao looked at the young man not far away in surprise. He had almost completely changed. If he hadn’t heard someone calling his name, he would never have thought that the man wearing a tie and suit was Jing Wen!

    How long has it been?He seems to be completely familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry. The smile on his face is distant, and every move is reserved and calm. He is very different from the Jing Wen in Qiao Qiao’s memory who was not good at words and would blush when teased!

    Qiao Qiao stared at him blankly for a long time, and when he saw that Mei Tang noticed something was wrong, he asked half-jokingly: “I’m going to be jealous if you see other men so absorbed.”

    “…” Qiao Qiao quickly lowered his head and moved a few steps slightly to ensure that Jing Wen couldn’t see her.

    It doesn’t matter if she is a stranger. Her current status is really embarrassing and she is still dressed like this. If she is met by an acquaintance, she will be killed immediately.

    “Who are all here tonight?” Qiao Qiao asked Mei Tang in a low voice. If he valued this banquet so much, he couldn’t possibly be chasing stars, right?

    “I just introduced you so much, and you didn’t listen to any of it?”

    Qiao Qiao smiled sheepishly. There were too many people who came to talk to Mei Tang. She persisted for a few minutes before she started to lose focus. She basically didn’t know anything.

    “I really can’t do anything about you. To put it simply, everyone who can speak in the entertainment, film and television industry is here.” Mei Tang teased, “Not just anyone can come, but your little follower is doing well.”

    Qiao Qiao was not happy at all. Looking at Jing Wen’s look, she couldn’t imagine what he had been through.

    “Aren’t you going to say hello?”

    “Forget it, let’s talk about it later.” Qiao Qiao lowered his head, “It’s not good for others to see it.”

    “My dear, you are becoming more and more like a qualified wife.” Mei Tang approached her and said, “Come on, let’s go sit over there for a while.”

    After taking two steps, Qiao Qiao stopped: “Wait a minute, you said all the big names in the entertainment, film and television industry will come?”

    “Yes, otherwise how could I be willing to bring you out?” Mei Tang saw Qiao Qiao’s face turning pale for an instant and asked strangely, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”

    “…at one point, I might have to go to the bathroom.”

    Maybe her face was too bad, but Mei Tang didn’t have the slightest suspicion. He waved to a waiter: “My fiancée is a little uncomfortable, take her to have a rest.”

    “Fiancée?” A clear male voice suddenly interrupted.

    Qiao Qiao trembled all over. If she hadn’t been holding Mei Tang’s arm, she might have fallen to the ground with black eyes.

    “Oh? It’s Mr. Song.” Mei Tang smiled, “I’ve known you for a long time, but I heard that you had something to do tonight and I felt sorry for you for a long time.”

    Song Qiyan smiled and glanced at Qiao Qiao as if unintentionally. The latter lowered her head deeply. If you look carefully, you can still see her shoulders shaking slightly.

    “Really?” Song Qiyan said lightly, “I’m glad I’m here.”

    Today he wore a dark blue suit with dark stripes, a regular notch lapel, a shirt and vest of the same color, and an iron-gray rhombus tie.

    Strictly speaking, his appearance was not outstanding among the guests who were dressed up tonight, but paired with his face, and his somewhat cold and inhuman eyes, it actually outshone all the celebrities in the room.

    “Oh, let me introduce you.” Mei Tang held Qiao Qiao’s hand, “This is my fiancée, Qiao Qiao.”

    Qiao Qiao clearly felt Song Qiyan’s eyes falling on her.

    It was not the light and fluttering gaze just now. This time she actually felt the chill in those two gazes.The hairs on Qiao Qiao’s arms stood up almost instantly, and her spine was numbing in waves as if it was electrified. The silent pressure was so strong that she could hardly breathe.

    “My dear, are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Mei Tang felt that the force coming from his hand was abnormal, so he put his arm around Qiao Qiao’s shoulders, “You go to rest first, I’ll go find you after I finish my work here.”

    Qiao Qiao moved her lips, but she found that she couldn’t say a word.

    “You two have a good relationship.”

    It was such a common sentence that Qiao Qiao even made her ears tingle when she heard it tonight, but when it came out of Song Qiyan’s mouth, she just felt chills all over her body.

    It was like having a sharp knife pressed against my throat, and I was about to face the real fear of death.

    Mei Tang was completely unaware of the undercurrent between the two. He shrugged: “Of course, she is my future wife after all.”

    Qiao Qiao couldn’t stay any longer. She was almost helped out of the banquet hall by the waiter. It wasn’t until she turned a corner that the two piercing eyes on her back disappeared.

    “Miss? You look bad. Do you need to call an ambulance?”

    “…” Qiao Qiao waved her hand weakly, and she found a corner to sit down. After a while, she felt that the blood in her body began to flow again.

    No wonder Mei Tang suddenly asked her about the entertainment industry yesterday. She should have been alert at that time.

    Qiao Qiao pressed her eyebrows, forget it, why didn’t she listen carefully to those people’s self-introductions? Even if she listened carefully to two or three people, she wouldn’t bump into Song Qiyan directly.

    Or in the worst possible way…

    What to do?

    Do you want to find an opportunity to explain to him privately later?

    She lowered her head and glanced at her clothes, then thought about how she had held Mei Tang’s arm the whole time, and felt deeply that if she looked for him privately later, there was a high probability that she would not be able to go back alive tonight.

    And how was she going to explain it?Apart from telling the truth, there is no excuse to make up for what happened tonight, but once the truth is told, Qin Rui will be in danger.

    The balance in Qiao Qiao’s heart was shaking crazily. Before she could make up her mind, the door of the banquet hall opened again, and Song Qiyan came out.

    He saw Qiao Qiao almost at a glance, and a clear clenching of teeth suddenly appeared on his handsome face. There was no unrelated person present, so he simply gave up his disguise. His eyes were so cold that they could freeze, and he turned around and strode towards Qiao Qiao.

    Qiao Qiao was so frightened that she sat there blankly for two seconds before she realized that she couldn’t say anything to him yet, but she had no time to think of excuses. Even if she had an excuse, her lying skills would only make things worse.

    What should I do?

    Seeing the man getting closer and closer, Qiao Qiao’s mind went blank. At this moment, he suddenly glanced at the corridor next to him. Qiao Qiao didn’t care about anything else, picked up his skirt and ran away.

    It’s over, it’s over!

    Qiao Qiao was wailing in her heart as she ran away. Song Qiyan would definitely be furious if she ran away, but now she had no choice. If Song Qiyan caught her, all her efforts would be in vain. She finally tracked down the clue of Mei Tang, and finally got Mei Tang to have some trust in her. She didn’t want to fail!

    The footsteps behind her also accelerated. It was extremely difficult for Qiao Qiao to run in high heels. She simply kicked off her shoes and ran barefoot.

    “Stop!”

    Qiao Qiao wanted to plug her ears. The pressure was so strong that she not only wanted to stop but also wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him three times.

    Finally, a sign for the bathroom appeared in front of him. Qiao Qiao got in without thinking, and climbed out of the bathroom window in one go.

    The footsteps stopped, and Song Qiyan did not follow her into the women’s bathroom.

    Qiao Qiao squatted under the window for a long time, until her legs were numb, and then limped back to the front hall. Her shoes were placed at the front desk. Song Qiyan should have picked them up and brought them over.

    She lowered her head and looked at her feet. Only then did she feel that the soles of her feet were very painful. Fortunately, the hotel floor was clean enough. Otherwise, with her escape method just now, the soles of her feet would have been stabbed by sharp objects.

    “Sorry.” Qiao Qiao put on his shoes and whispered, “Did… the person who sent the shoes say anything?”

    The lady at the front desk was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “No, he put down his shoes and left without saying anything.”

    “Really?” Qiao Qiao’s heart felt empty, and he felt a slight pain spreading throughout.

    There was no one in the bathroom. Song Qiyan could have followed him, but he didn’t do that.

    Probably after realizing that Qiao Qiao was avoiding him, he didn’t want to chase him anymore.

    He has always been like this, measured and knows how to advance and retreat——

    Don’t force it.
