Xiao Yingxia stopped dead in her tracks.
She couldn't help but stare blankly into Li Mubai's dazzling eyes with a silly look on her face for a mont.
Let alone Xiao Yingxia, the young lady from the side branch of the Xiao family who hasn't experienced the wider world, even Xiao Qingcheng, an ice-cold beauty herself evaluated Li Mubai to be exceptionally handso.
Li Mubai was pleased to see Xiao Yingxia's reaction.
Handso n don't really find it hard to pursue won...
Li Mubai didn't intend to treat Xiao Yingxia, the heroine of the 'Son-In-Law' novel the sa as Xiao Qingcheng, an ice-cold beauty.
It was because he doesn't really have to do that.
Li Mubai had planned to treat this innocent lady a little differently.
After pulling Xiao Yingxia to his side, pressing her up against himself, Li Mubai coldly asked the two security guards.
"Is there any problem with my invitation card?"
"No, there isn't!"
"Sir, please enter!"
The two security guards repeatedly nodded their heads, beaming in flattery, and courteously handed the invitation card back to Li Mubai.
Only a single golden invitation card was issued for tonight's cocktail party.
Their Boss had especially emphasized to them that the invited person would probably not attend the party, but if he shows up, he must be treated with respect!
It was because the only family worthy to receive such an invitation card in Jinghai was the Li family!
...
After retrieving the invitation card, Li Mubai led Xiao Yingxia towards the hotel lobby.
Xiao Yingxia, after snapping out, didn't resist Li Mubai's arm that was holding her.
Although she wasn't aware of the reason Li Mubai had helped her, it was a must for her to get into the hotel to et her client today as the next day was the final deadline.
If at all she failed to negotiate with her client today, her Xiao family would never be able to get their hands back on the project.
To begin with, no one in her family could hold their heads up before the entire Xiao family due to her being the nominal wife of her trash husband.
So, she couldn't let go of her only chance to put things right!
As she thought to herself, Xiao Yingxia subconsciously tightened her grip on Li Mubai's arm.
It wasn't until they made their way into the hotel lobby that she let go of Li Mubai's hand with a blush.
No matter what, though she was the nominal wife of trash at ho she loathes, it wouldn't change the fact that she was already married and had a husband.
So she couldn't help but feel that she had done an immoral thing holding another man's arm so brazenly in public.
"She's really an innocent lady huh..."
Seeing Xiao Yingxia blushing, Li Mubai had a faint smile.
This was just the beginning. This innocent lady was destined to fall into his clutches...
"Thank you for bringing in..."
Xiao Yingxia soon cald herself down and thanked Li Mubai.
"You're welco..."
Li Mubai shook his head. He then calmly said to Xiao Yingxia with his gaze lingering on her, "I really need a lady to accompany today. How about you accompany for the ti being as a thank you?..."
Li Mubai said in an easygoing yet imposing 'Overbearing CEO' tone that one couldn't resist.
Xiao Yingxia was caught off guard.
Gazing into Li Mubai's dazzling eyes, she could in no way resist.
After all, Li Mubai was the one that had helped her get in.
Xiao Yingxia wasn't currently aware of Li Mubai's identity because despite him being the Li family's Young Master, not everyone in Jinghai was worthy to et Li Mubai in person.
In addition to that, as Xiao Yingxia was from the side branch of the Xiao family doing a decent job, the odds for her to et Li Mubai was close to zero.
So she still wasn't aware that the handso man dressed in white clothes before her that helped her to get in was actually the infamous Li family's Young Master.
"But, I..."
Xiao Yingxia wanted to refuse with the reason that she was already married.
However, when she wanted to, no words left her mouth.
It wasn't because Li Mubai was a handso man.
Although she could take a fancy for handso n, she wasn't a woman without her set of principles. She knew her bottom line.
"Alright, I'll accompany you."
Xiao Yingxia, at last, gave a nod.
It was due to Li Mubai's help that she could manage to get in. It wasn't much of a deal if she accompanies him tonight for the ti being...
That's what Xiao Yingxia thought.
However, she had failed to notice the playful look in Li Mubai's eyes...
"But I have to go look for soone now. I'll return back to you soti later. Is that okay with you?"
Xiao Yingxia felt embarrassed when she asked.
"That's fine. Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here."
Li Mubai nodded.
"Thank you..."
Xiao Yingxia shot a grateful look at him and after a little searching, she headed in the direction of the lounge.
When Xiao Yingxia left, Li Mubai beckoned a secret guard over and gave out his instructions.
Within a few minutes after Xiao Yingxia left, Li Mubai made his way in her direction...
