Chapter 12
After the message was sent, Lu Xi looked at the top of the dialog box showing that the other party was typing, but Wen Qingmo didn’t send a word after it was displayed for a long time.
After a while, the dialog box popped up a message: Nothing
Lu Xi: …
She could guess how Wen Qingmo over there typed and deleted, deleted and typed, and finally sent her two words.
That means that Wen Qingmo didn’t just want to post these two words at first.
Lu Xi scratched her head and sighed, since Wen Qingmo said she was fine, she naturally couldn’t continue this topic, Lu Xi hesitated for a moment, and sent Wen Qingmo a “That’s good, good night”.
This time Wen Qingmo replied very quickly, as short as the last message: Good night
The twilight fell over the five-star hotel located in a corner of the city.
Jiang Yue stopped the car in front of the hotel, and the waiter at the door quickly stepped forward, opened the rear door, and Lu Xi and Xia Weiwei walked down together.
Jiang Yue immediately lowered the car window, and Lu Xi leaned over: “I’m going in, I’ll call you when it’s over.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yue nodded, “You two ladies have fun.”
“Okay, you go back first, be careful on the road.”
Lu Xi responded, then turned to look at Xia Weiwei: “Let’s go.”
Xia Weiwei took her hand, stomped her feet, and walked quickly to the hotel door: “It’s a bit cold outside.”
“I asked you to wear more clothes, the temperature has been cooling down in the past few days.” Lu Xi.
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Xia Weiwei sniffed, “I’ll go in right away.”
Lu Xi had never been to such a luxurious hotel, and she was a little uncomfortable since those waiters helped her pull the car door, but now she couldn’t show her timidity, so she had to hold her head high and walk in with Xia Weiwei pretending to be confident.
Another waiter standing at the door, seeing the two people coming in, immediately took a step forward and said respectfully, “Which hall do you two make an appointment for?”
“Yuhua Hall.” Lu Xi said, and handed both his and Xia Weiwei’s invitations to him.
The waiter looked at it, then stretched out his hand to signal: “Okay, this way please.”
“Hey, Lu Xi, isn’t that Mr. Wen? He’s here too?”
Just about to follow the waiter, Xia Weiwei suddenly pointed at the door, Lu Xi raised his head and looked in the direction of her finger.
Seven or eight men and women walked in from the door, and Lu Xi saw Wen Qingmo among them at a glance.
Wen Qingmo was turning his head to say something to the people next to him, with no expression on his face, he was walking among several people, this is not a position that is easy to be noticed, but his outstanding appearance and cool demeanor still made Lu Xi stand out from the crowd. I saw him right away.
Why is Wen Qingmo here?
Lu Xi quickly scanned the people around Wen Qingmo, no one knew him, but they all looked like adults, maybe it was a gathering between Wen Qingmo and his friends, or a business discussion?
Lu Xi stood where he was, silently guessing.
In the next second, Wen Qingmo seemed to have finished speaking, and turned his head around, just in time to see Lu Xi, his eyes widened in a little surprise.
Lu Xi was still thinking about whether to go up to say hello or just sneak away, but since the eyes of the two met, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward quickly.
“Brother,” Lu Xi smiled and walked in front of Wen Qingmo, “good evening.”
Wen Qingmo stopped in his tracks, and the people beside him also stopped, turning their gazes to Lu Xi.
Lu Xi felt quite pressured by all the gazes.
Wen Qingmo smiled, with an unexpectedly soft expression: “Are you here to attend Shen Yu’s welcome banquet?”
Lu Xi was surprised: “How do you know?”
“The eldest son of the Shen family has returned to China. We must all know that he is inviting friends like you for today’s game, and then entertaining the elders in a few days.”
“Then you are…?” Lu Xi asked tentatively.
Wen Qingmo looked left and right: “These are all my college classmates. It’s rare for us to get together. Today we will have a meal together.”
It turned out to be a classmate…
Lu Xi nodded, no wonder everyone looked like successful people.
“That’s right!” Lu Xi suddenly remembered something, “I have to return the cufflinks to you!”
Upon hearing the cufflinks, Wen Qingmo’s expression changed slightly, he looked away uncomfortably, he didn’t seem to want Lu Xi to mention this matter very much, but he was silent for a while, and still only said one word: “Row.”
Lu Xi didn’t think much about it at first, but when she saw Wen Qingmo’s expression and the strange eyes of the people around her, she suddenly came to her senses that there seemed to be something wrong.
They don’t see each other a few times a year, and they don’t live together now, why are Wen Qingmo’s cufflinks here with her…
—The red mandarin duck bellyband is still hanging on the fanatic’s belt.
For some reason, this sentence appeared in Lu Xi’s mind.
The words spoken were like water poured out, and there was no way to take them back, so Lu Xi could only feel awkwardly for the cuff buttons in her pocket, and then found even more embarrassingly that she was wearing a dress that she would not normally wear today, even half of the pocket No, Wen Qingmo’s cufflinks were placed in her regular clothes.
She squeezed her hands that had nowhere to rest, and looked at Wen Qingmo.
Wen Qingmo instantly understood: “You forgot to bring it, didn’t you?”
“Let me tell you,” at this moment a man next to him interjected, he raised his arm and placed it on Wen Qingmo’s shoulder, “Why did you leave the cufflinks at Xiaoxi’s place?”
Wen Qingmo glanced at him and said nothing.
The man didn’t care either, and said to Lu Xi: “You have to return the cufflinks as soon as they are broken. Do you think this man is stingy?” Uplifted, “No way, you won’t forget who I am!?”
Oops!
Two big characters popped out of Lu Xi’s heart.
Judging from the tone of voice, this person should be quite familiar with her.
But she doesn’t know it!
Lu Xi immediately showed a smirk: “Why, I haven’t seen you for a while, and I forgot your name…” She said, looking at Wen Qingmo for help.
Wen Qingmo showed some surprise, but before he could react, a female Beta next to her couldn’t help laughing.
The man turned his head fiercely: “Why are you laughing?”
Female Beta patted him reassuringly: “Relax, Song Xuan, it’s not easy to be remembered for being ordinary, you have to accept this fact…”
Song Xuan: “You might as well not talk.”
“Ah, yes! It’s Brother Song Xuan!” Lu Xi slapped his forehead, pretending to suddenly realize, and smiled apologetically at Song Xuan, “I really haven’t forgotten it, but I just can’t remember it for a while…”
Song Xuan: “You better be.”
Seeing this scene, Wen Qingmo lowered his head, and Lu Xi saw the corners of his lips curled up, but he quickly restrained his smile, returned to a serious look, and said to Lu Xi: “Okay, hurry up!” Go play, it won’t be good if you delay for a while.”
With that said, Wen Qingmo gestured to Lu Xi for Xia Weiwei who was standing behind waiting for her.
Every time he sees Wen Qingmo putting on airs of a big brother and elder to him, Lu Xi always feels it’s very subtle.
The subtlety is that under certain circumstances, Wen Qingmo can’t show her the airs of an elder…
“Then I’ll go first.”
Lu Xi quickly drove this thought out of her mind, she turned around and ran to Xia Weiwei’s side, and walked to the Yuhua Hall together with Xia Weiwei.
Shen Yu and the others had already arrived, the two of them opened the door and went in, everyone’s eyes in the hall temporarily focused on them, and Lu Xi looked back one by one calmly.
Most glanced away and looked away, while others just stared.
“Xiaoxi, Weiwei.”
Seeing the two of them coming in, Shen Yu said something to the person he was talking with just now, and immediately walked in front of them.
“Congratulations on returning to China, you will inherit the family business in the future and develop in China?” Xia Weiwei generously handed out the prepared continuation, “For you.”
“Thank you, at present…that’s the plan.”
Shen Yu took Xia Weiwei’s gift, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Xi, and even answered Xia Weiwei’s words while looking at Lu Xi.
Xia Weiwei snickered, and touched Lu Xi: “I see someone I know, go over and say hello first.”
Wait, don’t go!
Lu Xi was so looked at by Shen Yu that she didn’t know what to do. After Xia Weiwei left, she wanted to face Shen Yu alone. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and at the same time handed out her shopping bag with no expression on her face. Gift: “For you.”
…
“She is the daughter of the Lu family? Is it Omega, adopted by the Wen family?”
After Lu Xi left, a man asked his companion beside him.
“Not really.” The companion glanced at Wen Qingmo who was walking in front, and lowered his voice, “I didn’t go through the adoption procedures, but I actually lived in Wen’s house.”
The man gave a meaningful “Oh”: “Isn’t it just living under someone’s fence? They haven’t even adopted them, and there is no legal relationship. Isn’t it convenient to do things? You can play as you want…”
“Zhou Lin.”
Wen Qingmo in front didn’t know when to turn around, looked at the man who was talking more and more outrageous, with a gloomy expression as if dripping water, “You are as disgusting as ever.”
Zhou Lin didn’t show too much embarrassment when he was caught talking behind his back. He shrugged: “Okay, I’m wrong, I didn’t expect you to be so precious, and you really treat her as a younger sister?”
“Keep your mouth shut.”
Wen Qingmo’s tone was extremely cold: “Say one more word and I will make you pay the price.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t say it, I won’t say it.”
Zhou Lin was also a little unhappy when Wen Qingmo made such a low face in public, and gave Wen Qingmo a vicious look.
“Collect your pheromones, don’t lose control once you get angry,” Song Xuan approached in the stalemate, “At least you should consider the feelings of us Bs.”
With that said, he looked at Wen Qingmo worriedly.
The estrus period of the Omega that has not been fully marked will be induced by the pheromone of the top Alpha. In this group of people, there is only one Omega, Wen Qingmo, who is still in an unstable stage…
Zhou Lin pouted speechlessly, then put away his pheromone: “Is it alright?”
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in walking forward and bumped into Wen Qingmo’s shoulder forcefully.
Wen Qingmo took a step back to avoid it, Song Xuan walked up to him, and asked softly, “Are you okay?”
Wen Qingmo nodded, but unconsciously pressed her palm on her chest.
The moment Zhou Lin released the pheromone, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. Although the pain was fleeting, it still made Wen Qingmo feel a little bad.
