Chapter 745: Chapter 745: An Extrely Handso Man
Ye Jing placed her gloves on the table, her answer vague, “You know how much Boss values K. Even if I wanted to communicate more deeply, he wouldn’t give the opportunity.”
Gu Chenn and Xi Luo exchanged knowing glances, clinked their glasses together, and said in unison, “So that’s how it is.”
Li Qiao, like an outsider, began playing with her phone as if it was none of her business.
“Beauty, your na is Xiao Qi?”
Ye Jing and Bo Tingxiao sat side by side opposite Li Qiao, noticing her constant gaze downward, feeling sowhat displeased and finding it impolite.
Li Qiao humd an acknowledgnt without looking up or opening her eyes, busily tapping on her screen, texting Shang Yu.
Ye Jing pursed her lips impatiently, “Don’t you have a formal na?”
Xi Luo imdiately reached out to rest her hand on the back of Li Qiao’s chair. Not waiting for Bo Tingxiao to speak, she adopted a protective stance and said sarcastically, “Her formal na is Ancestor, nickna Little Ancestor. What else do you want to know? Co on, ask !”
Li Qiao silently curved her lips into a smile, glancing at Xi Luo from the corner of her eye with a sense of novelty.
Having known her for years, it was rare to see such a sharp-tongued side of her.
Even Bo Tingxiao’s usually calm and collected emotions were provoked, his dark brows furrowed as he looked somberly at Ye Jing, “Can’t you speak less?”
Ye Jing flipped her ponytail, her face stern as she responded with a feigned smile, “I can’t make a fuss about my arrival in British Imperial. Seeing a stranger, how would I know she wouldn’t reveal secrets? Can’t I even ask?”
Li Qiao finally took notice of the tense atmosphere around the dining table after finishing her text.
Bo Tingxiao and Ye Jing locked eyes, the air thick with hostility, neither willing to back down.
Xi Luo looked down on Ye Jing. Hearing Bo Tingxiao’s warning, she seized the opportunity to mock, “As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will leak your pathetic secrets.”
“Xi Luo, are you insane!” Ye Jing suddenly slamd the table, her heightened tone sharp and grating, “You think I wanted to co to British Imperial? If it weren’t for Boss saying that K needed help and begging , I wouldn’t have co.”
Oh, Bai Yan’s fault.
Xi Luo couldn’t help but sneer mockingly, “K needs help? Do you think she’s useless, or do you think you’re so incredible? Maybe K doesn’t even know who you are.”
Li Qiao touched her forehead, her eyes downcast with a suppressed laugh.
It wasn’t that she wouldn’t know who Ye Jing was; after all, Ye Jing had control over Fla Alliance’s international trade and traveled around various countries all year, even having moved her family overseas, it was said.
Ye Jing, dumbfounded by Xi Luo’s retort, eventually glanced at Li Qiao and jeered in a tone that was neither loud nor soft, “What’s with this ‘Ancestor’ and ‘Little Ancestor’? Is her na too shaful to reveal? You’re being so protective; soone who didn’t know better might think you two have so indecent secret.”
“Ye Jing, that’s enough,” Bo Tingxiao warned again in a deep voice, his expression darkening considerably.
Just then, Xi Luo hooked her arm around Li Qiao’s shoulder and looked defiantly at Ye Jing, “You don’t recognize this face? You do international business; don’t you watch the international news?”
Reminded pointedly by Xi Luo, Ye Jing scrutinized the face before her and remained unimpressed, “I don’t rember.”
Li Qiao brushed off Xi Luo’s arm, her gaze coolly sweeping over the opposite side, “The news has been retracted; don’t look for trouble with .”
Xi Luo pursed her lips, sighing with regret, “That’s truly a pity.”
Li Qiao responded in silence, uninterested in getting involved in such a verbal battle.
Her phone buzzed with a ssage, and upon seeing the text from Shang Yu, she got up, pushed her chair back, and bid her farewell indifferently, “I’m leaving first.”
As she finished speaking, Li Qiao had already disappeared outside the private room’s door.
“Xiao Qi, wait,” Bo Tingxiao followed her out, his low call faintly audible.
Xi Luo gave Gu Chenn a look, and they both stood up and walked out as well.
“Where are you going?” Ye Jing called out suspiciously behind them, “I thought K was coming over?”
Xi Luo called out to Xi Ze to walk with her, opened the private room door, and glanced sideways at Ye Jing with ill intention, her mouth twitching disdainfully, “She didn’t say she would definitely co. Don’t you know her? Why don’t… you give her a call and ask?”
Ye Jing, her face cold, fully aware that Xi Luo wanted to see her embarrassed, deliberately picked up her gloves and slowly put them on, rose from her chair and, with a playful smile, said, “If you want K’s number, just say it outright.”
Xi Luo took a deep breath in the mont, mustering great effort to suppress the smirk crawling up her face, and before leaving, she gave a thumbs-up, “To have guessed that, you’re really sothing.”
Ye Jing always felt there was sothing more in Xi Luo’s words but didn’t care to delve deeper.
mbers of Fla Alliance were always independent, each with their own character, with no need to accommodate anyone.
…
In the winery’s lobby, Li Qiao walked languidly forward, already glimpsing the flickering car lights through the glass door.
Suddenly, a call from Bo Tingxiao ca from behind her, she paused and looked back, her vision darkened as he was already close.
Li Qiao looked up, stepping back slightly, mainly because he was too tall, “Hmm?”
Bo Tingxiao barely perceptibly sighed, his facial features tense, “Are you mad?”
“Mad about what?” Li Qiao asked calmly in response, thought for a mont, and then, understanding, smiled faintly, “Are you referring to Ye Jing?”
Bo Tingxiao shrewdly leaned in closer, a aningful smile playing at the corner of his mouth, “How do you know her na?”
Just now, in the wine tasting room, it seed that no one had ntioned Fla Alliance Q’s real na.
Li Qiao calmly nodded toward the space behind him, “Xi Luo told .”
Bo Tingxiao turned to follow her gesture and saw Xi Luo and two others walking side by side toward them.
He nodded in greeting and then naturally patted Li Qiao’s shoulder, “Co with .”
“Mr. Bo!”
Two voices spread through the lobby, fragrant with the aroma of wine.
Li Qiao stopped mid-step and turned, Xi Luo and the others also halted.
A tall figure in dark clothes walked through the night, and the two winery stewards at the door, gloves white, pulled open the glass door for him.
Ye Jing arrived in the lobby just in ti to see everyone standing in place, and while adjusting her gloves, she asked in a low voice, “What is everyone looking at?”
No one paid her any attention.
Ye Jing gave Xi Luo a glare, looking along her line of sight to see an extrely handso man wearing a long coat walking steadily toward them.
Behind him was the slowly fading day, the hem of the coat fluttering by his long legs, the mother-of-pearl buttons on his black shirt glimring with a lustrous sheen.
In both style and presence, he was more than a match for any man present.
Ye Jing was srized, her heartbeat quickening involuntarily.
There were countless handso n, but few possessed the cold and savage mix before her eyes.
She unconsciously stepped forward, wanting to get a clearer view.
Li Qiao, anwhile, had already approached the man, and before she could speak, the glass doors behind them opened again, and Feng Yi and He Chen also appeared.
The sight of several muscular, commanding handso n appearing at once was impressive not just to Ye Jing but to Xi Luo as well, who couldn’t help clicking her tongue. Gentlen’s style, charming style, stark style, each with their own alluring traits.
And yet none had the style of a loyal dog.
Looking back at Gu Chen and Xi Ze beside her, Xi Luo turned away in disdain, what trash!
