Chapter 317 - old enough to marry you (1/2)

When the joke was no longer funny, footsteps were heard from the stairs. Everyone except Lin Lihua knew who it was. Actually, Lin Lihua found those footsteps familiar too and her cheeks involuntarily flushed a little. When she looked in that direction, what she saw made her awe-struck.

If Lu Aotian could be described as the cool handsome man with eyes that kept people a distance away from him, Henry Blanc would be considered the charmer. His blue eyes were like a vortex, making Lin Lihua subconsciously want to look at them a little more.

Of course, every other woman here only had eyes for her own man. If not, they would be charmed by Henry Blanc as well.

The man sat naturally beside Lin Lihua. They were now accurately paired. He beamed a seductive smile at her. ”Queen Lihua, ma reine, we meet again; I told you it was fate.”

Lin Lihua looked at him speechlessly. What fate? Unless I got the meaning of that word wrong all my life and fate actually means this group of matchmakers?

She didn't know why, but she felt he was a little annoying but every time she didn't him, she would feel as though something was missing. Right now, all she wanted was to kick him away. Why in the world was he following her around?

....

After their meal, the group was still drowned in discussion. It was Kara's first time meeting Lin Lihua, Henry Blanc and Su Ling but they looked like they had known each other for decades. After a while, the women started talking about girly topics like which designer made the best shoes this year, which brand produced the most famous clothes, babies and how cute they could be and even drifted off to business matters for a while.

The men were deeply into business and were currently discussing project collaboration among Xu Real Estate, Le Blanc Group and Lu Enterprises. They were all CEOs of their companies (except Lu Shaoting who was the Vice President) and could make decisions even at such a gathering.

Lu Shaoting got bored. ”Why don't we play a game? This is one friendship gathering but it looks like two of them.”

”What game can we play?” Henry Blanc asked.

”Is it not obvious? Truth or dare!”

”You're crazy.” Lu Aotian had never played such a game before. He considered it childish.

”Bro, don't be such a party pooper. The ladies like it. Don't you, beauties?”

”Of course.” They said in unison.

Seeing that everyone wanted to play, Lu Aotian had nothing else to say.

In a short while, some cards were brought and they started playing. They were all hearts and aces. They would be flipped randomly and a pair of people would be asked to pick them. To pick a heart would be to win and to pick an ace would be to lose. The ace would choose to either answer a question or do a dare. The back out punishment would be decided by the winner.

The game began.

In the first round, Lu Shaoting played against Henry Blanc. Henry Blanc lost and chose a truth.

”What's the name of your wife?” Lu Shaoting asked.

Everyone knew he was trying to help Henry Blanc out. The man smiled charmingly and answered. ”I am not married yet, but I have my eyes for someone.”
