The opening of the party was lively and noisy, with dazzling lights illuminating the venue as bright as day. A tower of champagne bottles was placed in the center of the party, reflecting the clear light of glass.
"Okay, don't be shy on this weekend, just come on in."
Lu Xiao took Weekend into the venue hall, picked up the plate on the buffet table, and while busy picking up food, he greeted vaguely: "The cakes in this hotel are delicious. This cheesecake is for you."
Who would go straight for food as soon as they enter a party venue?
Weekend had no choice but to take the plate from Lu Xiao and said jokingly, "I don't think you look like a stranger in this place at all."
"Ah? Well... that's because you're here with me." Lu Xiao replied with a smile. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a man who looked like a servant coming over and whispered to her, "Excuse me, are you Miss Lu? Mr. Lu Yuqilu is looking for you."
"What does my dad want me to do?" Lu Xiao said vaguely, holding a spoon in his mouth, "Didn't we already agree that he would be in charge of the negotiation and I would be in charge of the food at the banquet?"
"Maybe he has something to talk to you about." Weekend urged, "You'd better go quickly, so as not to make Uncle Lu worry."
Lu Xiao thought about it and nodded: "Then I'll go. Please wait for me for a while on the weekend. I'll be back soon."
A crystal chandelier shaped like a castle in the sky was hung high on the magnificent roof. People coming and going under the light, holding wine glasses, all had faces that seemed very unfamiliar to Weekend.
When Lu Xiao was still here, Weekend just felt that this place was full of lights and dazzling. After Lu Xiao left, all the unfamiliar things made people feel uneasy.
"So there really is such a banquet. I thought it was an exaggeration in idol dramas." Weekend took the plate of cheesecake and sat down in a corner where no one would notice. He muttered, "But the cake is really delicious."
According to Lu Xiao, the party officially began only after the chairman of Xue Group gave his speech, and it was unclear when it would end.
On the weekend, I quietly pinched my calves, which were a little sore because I don’t wear high heels often, and sighed silently in my heart.
Compared to attending such a grand party, she would rather hang out on YY in the dormitory and chat about radio dramas and scripts. She doesn’t know what her master and the silent god are doing now, and what they do every day outside the screen?
Weekend propped up his chin, stared into the distance idly, and muttered to himself: "With such a nice voice, maybe he will be an elite outside the screen... No, why am I thinking about these things!"
No matter how familiar people are with each other in the online world, there is always a gap between them. Weekend realized this very early on, so she never paid too much attention to the person on the other end of the computer. However, for some reason, she has been inexplicably concerned about Wusheng recently.
Although she had confirmed with Lu Xiao and knew it was just her illusion, she still felt that Han Shao and Wusheng were indescribably similar.
"It seems that I have been sleeping too much recently and started to daydream." Weekend slapped his head and muttered, "How can they be the same person... By the way, Lu Xiao is so slow, why hasn't he come back yet?"
“As for Miss Lu, I just saw her and the young master of the Bai family go to the garden.”
The sudden voice beside her brought her thoughts back to the party. She looked at the man who spoke to her in surprise and stammered, "Mr. Xue? Hello, what a coincidence."
After saying that, Weekend bit her lip in annoyance. This was originally the party of Xue's Group, and she would definitely meet Xue Sheng.
"No need to be so polite, just call me Xue Sheng."
Xue Sheng was wearing a pure white suit with a rose brooch on his collar, like a prince described in a fairy tale. He held a glass wine glass in one hand, and the mellow red wine reflected ripples at the bottom of the glass, just like ripples on the calm surface of a lake.
He winked at her, with a charming curve at the corner of his lips, and whispered softly: "From now on, I will call you Weekend too."
Since we have met three times, we should be somewhat familiar with each other.
Weekend was about to nod her head and agree, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. She felt as if someone was staring at her. The gaze was fixed on her back, with a presence that was hard to ignore. However, she turned around and looked around, but couldn't figure out who was looking at her.
Xue Sheng noticed that she suddenly looked around and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Weekend touched his neck, slowly looked away, and answered in confusion: "Nothing, maybe it's an illusion."
"Han Shao, Han Shao? Did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, you were just talking about the cooperation between the company and Xue's." Han Shao swirled the red wine in his glass, looked away as if nothing had happened, and said in a low voice, "Regarding this cooperation, I suggest..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Yuqi stretched out a hand and interrupted Han Shao, saying helplessly, "Who told you about the company? I was saying that Jin Yu would be back soon. Are you pretending not to hear me?"
"Oh, about this matter." Han Shao took a sip of red wine and responded indifferently. His eyes unconsciously drifted to the place he cared about, and he said nonchalantly, "I know."
"If you ask me, you just can't get over it. Although she did do something wrong, it's been so many years after all."
Seeing Han Shao's lack of interest, Lu Yuqi continued to persuade him, "Her career is modeling after all, so it's normal for her to want to develop abroad. Besides, she has been working abroad for so many years and has become a top model. She must be much more sensible than she was then. Uncle Lu thinks you two are still a good match. Why don't you forget the unpleasantness of the past and get back together."
Hearing Lu Yuqi's persuasion, Han Shao seemed to have not heard it, his expression did not fluctuate, but his eyes were fixed on one position, not moving for a long time, focused and serious. Suddenly, he frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes as deep as a black pool. He put the wine glass aside, turned his head and said to Lu Yuqi: "Uncle, I have something to do, I'm leaving first."
"Something..." Lu Yuqi sighed deeply as he watched Han Shao leave without looking back, but then he thought it was understandable, after all, they had such an unpleasant quarrel before. It was just that Han Shao was not young anymore, and it was time for him to consider starting a family, otherwise he would not have persuaded him to reconcile with Lin Jinyu.
But...looking in the direction Han Shao left, isn't that Xue Sheng and Xiao Xiao's...roommate? What is Han Shao doing there?
Weekend didn't know Han Shao was at the party. Following Xue Sheng's invitation, she said awkwardly, "I don't really understand art, and I can't feel its connotation. At most, I can tell whether it looks good or not. Even if you invite me to an art exhibition, it will definitely be meaningless..."
It would be better to invite Lu Xiao instead of her. Although she is careless, she has a solid foundation in art appreciation.
Xue Sheng leaned back slightly, leaning on the soft sofa cushions, supporting his head with one hand, and asked with interest: "So what do you like? Music? Drama?"
If I say I like radio dramas, will people laugh at me?
Weekend sat on a single sofa a little far from him, stroking her wine glass with her fingers. Just as she was hesitating because of distress, a cold voice suddenly sounded and responded for her: "What Weekend likes has nothing to do with you, Mr. Xue."
This voice couldn't be more familiar. Weekend suddenly raised his head: "Han Shao?"
Hearing her calling his name, a smile appeared on Han Shao's cold face, and his obsidian-like deep eyes were filled with her shadow.
He was wearing a well-cut black suit today, and his slender figure showed off his calm temperament to the fullest.
Xue Sheng didn't seem surprised by Han Shao's appearance. He didn't get angry when he heard Han Shao's impolite words. Instead, he smiled and stood up from the sofa. He responded slowly, "Then I asked her what she likes. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Han."
They stood face to face, black and white opposed to each other, like two extremes that would blend.
Although Weekend didn't know what happened, he was sensitive enough to sense that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly stood up and advised, "Why don't you two sit down and talk..."
"It matters." Han Shao pulled up Weekend's arm and announced to Xue Sheng, "She is the guest I invited."
Xue Sheng laughed softly: "Mr. Han, if I remember correctly, this is the party held by the Xue family."
"But your invitation letter didn't reach her, but mine did."
"Could it be that Lu Xiao is..."
Weekend immediately reacted when she heard this. She was wondering why Lu Xiao insisted on letting her attend the party. That foodie must have received some favor from Han Shao!
Han Shao put his index finger against his lips, said "hush" softly, and rubbed her head: "Be quiet for a while, I'll explain it to you later."
Why does this person like to touch her head so much? Weekend covered her hair and secretly glanced at him.
Han Shao turned his head and when he faced Xue Sheng, that gentle expression instantly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a faint indifference: "Mr. Xue should have heard it clearly enough. The party is about to start, so I will take her away first."
"Huh? Let's go? Where to? Lu Xiao and the others..." Weekend was pulled away before he could finish his words.
Xue Sheng stood there, narrowing his eyes, and watched them leave. Just then, a servant came over and whispered, "Master Xue, the chairman wants you to prepare in advance. You will be giving a speech at the opening of the party."
"I understand." Xue Sheng responded without turning his head.
It's really an interesting thing. Xue Sheng looked at the back of the two figures, his eyebrows curved, full of joy, and wondered in his heart, why, Han Shao seemed to be a little special to this girl, and he happened to be interested in her too.
