Chapter 382 kill you (2/2)

”Sister Ji, what are you saying? I am fine. It's just one glass.”

Saying this, she glance in the direction of the main table and leans closer to Ji Chu Hua.

”Um, Sister Ji, if it's alright with you, can I sit at the same table with you? I saw that there is still an empty seat.”

Thinking Ji Chu Hua might suspect her intentions, she goes on to explain her reason.

”You see, my brother wants me to ask your grandfather about a contract involving both companies.”

Hearing her words, Ji Chu Hua did not find it suspicious. She wasn't even aware that Ning Mei is eyeing Lu Tian this entire time they have been friends.

Seeing that there is an empty seat by Grandfather Ji, she smiles a nod.

”I'll ask my grandfather and see if he is okay with it.”

Ning Mei's eyes beamed with joy. She was currently sitting five tables away, so he wouldn't be able to see her. It was an excuse to sit at the main table. The empty seat was next to Lu Tian, so if she can sit there, she can catch his attention right away.

So what if there are words that he is with Han Yue Ling, from what she can see, the slut is not here.

”You ladies seem to be enjoying yourselves.”

Suddenly, Gu Ting Fei who had left Ji Chu Hua's side to go speak with some acquaintances returned to her side.

When Ning Mei saw him, her heart skipped a beat. Even though, he is with Ji Chu Hua, she has to admit, the man is still one of the handsomest men in Imperial.

If he wasn't with Ji Chu Hua, she would not mind having a taste of him in bed.

Her cheeks flush pink thinking about how Gu Ting Fei's naked body would look like under his nice fitted tuxedo.

A smile curls on her lip, ”Sister Ji, I heard you and brother Ting Fei are going to be engage soon. Is it true?”

Hearing her question, Ji Chu Hua's face slightly pale and was hesitant to answer.

She and Gu Ting Fei are an item, but she also doesn't want to miss her big chance with Lu Tian.

Gu Ting Fei looks at his girlfriend's beautiful little face. He could see that she was hesitant to answer, so he laughs and decides to answer for her.

”We are just friends, but if Chu Hua wants, then I don't mind proposing to her.”

Like a mountain had suddenly been lifted from her shoulders, Ji Chu Hua was able to breath. She smiles thankfully to him.

She is lucky that he is an understanding man. Their relationship wasn't serious, it was only a relationship of convenience.

Both Ning Mei and Ni Wenli's eyes beamed hearing the man's words. Since Gu Ting Fei said he and Ji Chu Hua are only friends, that means there's still a chance for them.

However, the only thing is, Ji Chu Hua is always with him!

They envy Ji Chu Hua so much. She doesn't even love Gu Ting Fei, but he only has eyes for her.

The group of four continue to chat away about personal matters and often laughed loudly at jokes.

In the corner of the ballroom, Ji Jingxu and Zhuang Li were standing with a group of boys the same age as them. They were all friends from school and knew one another well.

Zhuang Li elbows Ji Jingxu as he looks through the crowd of guests.

”Jingxu, where's this sister you are so proud of? How come I don't see her?”

Ji Jingxu furrow his brows in a frown. His eyes were also scanning through the crowd, but he does not see the person he is looking for.

”She'll be here soon.” She promised.

He spoke the last two words in his head. His grandfather said, she had called Housekeeper Hu to inform them that she was running late.

Apparently, something happened that she needed to deal with, but she will be here.

However, he couldn't help but wonder if she was even coming.
