427 Avoiding Him On Purpose (1/2)
Her beautiful eyes seemed to be lost in the depths of an abyss.
”Everything is destined and love can't be forced.”
”Wen Xuxu, do you really think so?”
There was an enigmatic smile on her face and suddenly, she tilted her head and gulped down an entire glass of wine.
Secretary Liu, who was sitting beside her, inched closer and whispered, ”Jiayin, don't drink so much.”
His eyes swept past Yan Rusheng swiftly and said softly, ”I don't see how the current Young Madam Yan is better than you.”
”The Young Madam Yan now…”
Fang Jiayin threw a glance at Yan Rusheng and Xuxu. Her expression was unfathomable.
She placed the glass down. She turned to look at Secretary Liu as she rubbed her temples. ”Uncle, when is the celebration ending? I have a slight headache and I would like to go home first.”
She ignored his previous comment and declined to divulge her thoughts to him.
Secretary Liu answered sternly, ”Old Master Lu is an esteemed and prominent figure. How can we excuse ourselves from his birthday celebration now?”
He stole a glance at the piano and the music had stopped. Yan Rusheng held Xuxu's hand as they stood up together.
A scheming and sly gleam flashed past Secretary Liu's eyes and he inched once more towards Fang Jiayin's ears. ”You can play the violin very well. Why don't you perform a song for them?”
Without giving Fang Jiayin a chance to protest, he grabbed her by her arm. He turned around to the next table where Old Master Lu was. He said with a smile, ”Old Master Lu, my niece has just came back from abroad and she is a great violinist. She would like to perform a song for you as well.”
Fang Jiayin was annoyed by Secretary Liu's suggestion. She flung her hand away. ”Uncle!”
With an apologetic expression, she turned to Old Master Lu. ”Grandfather Lu, sorry I'm not feeling well today. Hence, I shall not embarrass myself. I'll perform for you another time.”
”No worries.” Old Master Lu smiled benevolently at Fang Jiayin. ”If you're unwell, ask Yishan to bring you upstairs to take a rest.”
