Ex-Husband CEO, Stop Messing Around!-Chapter 467 - 430: He Wants to Taste Her, Craving Madly
"I’m just worried." Unexpectedly, he would get so angry, Tong Xi stuck out her tongue: "Afraid you’d get confused and deceived, why are you glaring at me? I’m doing this for your own good."
"I’m not that stupid!" Tan Qing snorted coldly; the anger he felt earlier was somewhat dissipated by her concern, and he felt a vague sense of happiness inside.
Especially her last sentence, which was for his own good.
Seeing his expression soften, Tong Xi breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously asked:
"Tan Qing, do you dislike girls who confess their feelings first? Oh, I mean to ask, do you think such a girl is not steady?"
Once she asked, she felt anxious and deliberately put on a facade of calmness: "I’m just curious. Nuannuan confessed to Yan, and he didn’t think it was a bad thing. What about you, do you think it’s normal?"
"Who do you want to confess to?"
Tan Qing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Do you have a man you like?"
He felt a strange feeling inside, indescribable, but the annoyance was real, a suffocating frustration made him restless.
"I’m just curious." Tong Xi shook her head.
Just as Tan Qing was about to speak, the music ended, and Qu Min happily stepped forward, reaching out to Tan Qing in front of many people: "Qing, you’ve danced with your partner, now it’s my turn."
She pronounced "partner" with glaring clarity. In occasions like this, everyone brought a partner, it was nothing. But the words "fiancée" were different, they clearly conveyed a kind of identity to people.
And she hated Tan Qing using those words with Tong Xi.
Just now, watching them dance from afar, the flames of jealousy in her heart burned fiercely, and many gentlemen had asked her to dance, but she had refused them all, just to wait for him.
Surrounded by prominent figures, she knew Tan Qing was someone who cared about others’ face, and wouldn’t say harsh words to her. Indeed, Tan Qing looked at Tong Xi with some apology and did not refuse her invitation.
Qu Min smiled triumphantly, glancing at Tong Xi with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
Tong Xi, aren’t you arrogant? After tonight, let’s see if you’ll dare to call yourself Tan Qing’s fiancée!
"Qing, my dad has something to discuss with you, he said it’s very important." She hooked onto Tan Qing’s arm, holding it tightly so he couldn’t break free, as if she was his legitimate girlfriend.
Everyone was clueless, and there had been rumors before that the Tan and Qu families might ally through marriage, so they just smiled and saw the two off.
Only Tong Xi had a trace of loss in her eyes, lightly biting her lip, she followed quietly.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Tan Qing’s character; it was just that Qu Min was acting too strangely today, making her uneasy. Open dangers are easy to dodge, hidden ones are hard to guard against, she feared Tan Qing might be at a disadvantage.
"Brother Cheng, may you grow more handsome, and may your business prosper more and more."
Qu Min wasn’t in a hurry to go to her father, but instead went to a middle-aged man, smiling and taking two glasses of wine from a passing waiter, handing one to Tan Qing, and winking at him: "This is Brother Cheng, he’s not from this city. Get acquainted. He’s known of your reputation for a long time and has always wanted to meet you."
"Young Master Tan, pleasure to meet you." The other party spoke respectfully, raising his glass, and Tan Qing couldn’t refuse, smiling as he raised his glass, just about to drink when his hand was suddenly empty.
The glass in his hand was suddenly snatched away by a slender hand.
Qu Min watched Tong Xi holding the glass, her face turning pale instantly, her fingers reaching out and retracting, clenching her teeth, her heart trembling slightly.
Tong Xi, if I don’t teach you a lesson, I’m not called Qu!
"Sorry, he has to drive, so he can’t drink, I’ll drink on his behalf." Tong Xi smiled slightly, holding the glass. Seeing the other person was also a notable figure, afraid of disrespecting him and making Tan Qing uncomfortable, she downed it boldly.
"Who is this?" The man was suddenly taken aback, gazing at Tong Xi’s pretty face. With a beauty like her in front of him, he couldn’t get angry, just puzzled.
"She’s an employee at Qing’s company; Qing was worried I wouldn’t have time, so he had her temporarily act as a partner." Just as Tan Qing was about to speak, Qu Min quickly cut in. She glanced at Tong Xi and grabbed Tan Qing’s hand even tighter: "Qing, let’s go dance again, we’ll find my dad later."
Saying that, she secretly pinched the man referred to as Brother Cheng, and winked at him too, which made the man inwardly smile wickedly.
This mistake might actually work to his advantage; perhaps this was an unexpected surprise.
