Chapter 59 - My People (1/2)

Xi Jian could already imagine Ling Feng and his brother would nagging and bothering him in the days ahead for bringing Ling Yue to the public. In her full dress up.

He inhaled and almost choked his breath when his palm touched something soft, smooth and warm.

Ling Yue was electrocuted when Xi Jian's cold hand touch her back. They both were frozen not far from the entrance. He had intended to support Ling Yue so she could walk faster by supporting her back. But, what was that?

Xi Jian took a step backward and swore. Ling Yue's back was barely covered in her dress at all.

”What damn dress are you wearing?!” Xi Jian snapped.

He didn't see that cause he was so focused on staring at Ling Yue front that he forgot to check behind her. Xi Jian should have remembered that women's dresses could lack any fabric anywhere. This backless dress didn't matter if Ling Yue's hair covered it perfectly. But her hair partly fell in front of her and made Xi Jian's hand manage to touch her skin without a hitch.

”Don't swear! You should have said yes when I asked to change it!” Ling Yue hissed.

”Keep your hair from moving,” he said before shaking hands with others.

Some people recognized Ling Yue for being present at his grandfather's birthday party and greeting her. Just making a small talk. Xi Jian kept his body behind her and checked her hair many times so it wouldn't open and exposed her back.

Xi Jian's warm body behind her made Ling Yue uncomfortable. Ling Yue still smiled even though her heart danced mercilessly. Her waist felt heavy. Xi Jian's hand hadn't let it go. He would squeeze it if she moved just a bit. Ling Yue could breathe a little when Xi Jian was asked to go onstage.

”Liar!”

Ling Yue heard a familiar voice whispering in her ear. She almost jumped and broke her neck for turned so fast. Ling Huansheng looked handsome in his black coat. Although handsome, his gaze seemed accusing.

”Don't surprise me like that!” Ling Yue slapped his hard stomach. ”Who are you accusing a liar?”

He pointed at her with his chin. ”Who said they didn't date but came together to the party?”

”Don't be silly. Do couples who come to parties definitely date?” Ling Yue argued.

Ling Huansheng shrugged. ”He was never seen with a woman and you ... I know you wouldn't come to a place like this.”

Ling Yue's mouth twitched. She knew the words were not wrong, but also not true in a certain sense. ”Don't conclude carelessly.”

Ling Yue turned her gaze around Ling Huansheng. ”Where is your partner?”
