"Ha, he may not even know recognize me, since we met just once and it"s been months ago!, so why am I so tensed up?!" With those thoughts, she beamed a cheerful smile and immediately replied Xin Yong"s incessant questions.

"Wow, they"re quite handsome, and it seems they"re using this VIP table" She replied while using her eyes to point at the VIP table by her left.

Xin Yong whose cheeks were almost redder than tomato when her eyes met Jin Yue"s immediately retracted her gaze and turned to face Liling, pretending to say something in order to cover up her embarra.s.sment.

Liu Wei and Jin Yue sat directly adjacent to where Liling and her friends sat. Liu Wei had seen Liling from the stairs but he had pretended not to. His face was stoic and expressionless so that when he sat down, Liling finalized that he didn"t remember her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Jin Yue just noticed that the girl with the oversized goggles was a friend to Liling. When they sat down, he stole occasional glances at her, sometimes their eyes would meet and she would quickly retract her gaze. Smiling, he would turn to speak to Liu Wei and other times he would just remain like that, staring at her until their eyes met again.

Liu Wei maintained his stance, Liling made sure she didn"t look their way, her head straight forward listening to the person addressing them.

Richen on the other hand had noticed Liu Wei even before Xin Yong. She watched as they walked to their seats and sat down, her eyes never leaving him for a second. At that moment, she felt he was more handsome than Liling"s Chang Ming, she was more than glad that he hadn"t noticed them, or more importantly noticed the beautiful Liling by her side, so she could still have her shot before he sees her. With that thought, a smile creeped upon her lips.

Her head planned different ways to get him to speak to her.

The welcoming dinner party had already begun. The MC would occasionally welcome persons of high ranking up to the stage, after different "boring talks", the next would come up. Liing was already feeling dizzy, she rubbed her eyes a little and continued watching the stage.

"We welcome Mr Liu Wei, CEO of BAI enterprise and Deputy Director of X_Dynasty Music Industry to the stage, a round of applause please...."

Liling froze in between her yawn when she saw Liu Wei casually stand up and walk towards the stage. "CEO, Deputy director?, OMG, this Mr. must be a very influential person!. And I spoke to him so rudely over a mere lollipop stick, when he could build a wall of lollipops of he wants to!. Ah, thank goodness he doesn"t recognize me, unless he would throw me out of this party!"

Liling was so happy with herself, she started to scheme possible ways to avoid Liu Wei throughout the dinner.

As Liu Wei walked towards the stage, murmurings could be heard from the crowd. It was easy to guess, he was stunning! A beautiful man.

He gave a quick and precise speech, and at the end everyone stood up and applauded and he gracefully returned to his seat.

.....

Xin Yong had too much wine, though she had a high tolerance to acohol, she felt an urge to urinate. Casually excusing herself, she started to trace her way out of the dinner hall, she felt her bladder almost giving way, so she had to walk a bit faster.

...

Jin Yue"s phone lit up, it was a call from his a.s.sistant, obviously work related issues, he excused himself to pick the call outside the hall.

"Push the meeting backwards.... Next week, ... No... Cancel it... Alright then... I"ll be hanging up"

He cut the call and put the phone into his pocket, as he turned to enter the hall when he caught sight of a familiar face.

"Eva?, what is she doing here in America?" His eyes widened as he thought of ways to avoid her since she was coming towards him. He couldn"t think fast enough before she caught sight of him and started walking towards him with a smile on her lips. Jin Yue"s brows creased, he immediately wanted to turn towards the elevator when he caught sight of a slender figure coming out of the dinner hall, she hurried past Eva and was walking towards him in a rush.

Jin Yue smiled at the thought that came up in his mind as he watched her run towards him, it was obvious that she wasn"t looking where she was going. She approached him and made to walk past but Jin Yue seized her by her waist and pushed her against the wall. Her eyes lit up when she noticed the person before her, but before she could utter a word, his lips were on hers. Her eyes almost fell out of its sockets due to how wide she opened them.

Jin Yue had just planned on just kissing her lightly for Eva to see, but as his lips landed on hers, it felt very soft, so soft that he had the urge to nimble on it. He bit her lower lip lightly, and as Xin Yong wanted to scream, he took the opportunity to enter her mouth with his tongue. He kissed her harder and deeper, Xin Yong tried to push him away, but her efforts were like teases on his skin, he held her in place and kissed her wildly, Xin Yong"s legs gave way, but as she was about to fall, he supported her with his arms around her waists. He only released her when he felt she was out of breath.

Her eyes were still closed when he stopped, he stared at her blus.h.i.+ng face for a while, a smirk on his lips. Her eyes fluttered open but she didn"t look at him, she stared at his s.h.i.+rt. They stood that way for almost a minute before she finally spoke up.

"You should... let... me.. go" Her voice derailed, that was when Jin Yue noticed he was still holding her by her waists. He immediately retracted his arms, and almost immediately she fled to the elevator. He stared at her until she had disappeared completely, turning back he saw that no-one was there, Eva had left.
