Chapter 18: ****
"Yes, as you said, we have met before," Mr. Lu Tian did not hesitate to acknowledge him with that cold smile. "But I must say it was barely a meeting."
"I guess that is good because you are meeting her now as my fiancée," Mr. Shen Yan told his friend as his hands around her waist tightened a little but were visible to the eyes of the man who was trying had to avoid looking at where their bodies joined so intimately.
Ruoruo pouted puzzled by the coldness of the warm words they exchanged. When Lin Jing spoke, her voice was soft and held no malice as she expected.
Ruoruo knew the man must know he was the reason her sister got bitten up. The moment earlier felt very intense to her. it was as though they were shooting missiles at each other.
When she heard that signature softness in her sister's voice, she knew it was fake but she heaved a sigh of relief. At least her sister did not sound cold to him because of what happened to her.
Her hands itched to land a punch on his jaw no matter how light she guessed it would be for man this well-built man that the black jacket of his tux could not hide those chest muscles.
She looked around at his bodyguard and his secretary on his side. The guards at the door would not allow that to happen too. He was the CEO and his father was the chairman of the widely branched group.
From the rumors she heard, he had more shares in the company than his father who was the chairman as both of his grandparents left their shares to him.
It was just a rumor she overheard but whether it was true or not would affect the power he wielded. She bowed her head to him when her brother-in-law introduced her to him. She smiled when she raised her head but she noticed that his gaze had long moved from her to her sister.
The man was very confusing to her. she could not tell if he hated her sister or not because she could not see any trace of emotions in his eyes.
He seemed to have locked it all up and pushed his emotions out of his being. She also could believe that he had an interest in her sister. it was impossible considering his reputation with women. She had once long concluded that he was gay.
An idea popped and she bowed her head to hide her mischievous smile. What if he hated her sister for stealing his crush from him, that is, her sister's fiancé?
If a woman put herself in between him and the man he lo . . . .
She snapped out of her thoughts when she remembered how her sister was beaten because he came close to her. if that was the case, then they would send people to beat her sister to send her away from his man.
She did not want to imagine such a thing happening and push their businesses away from her mind and decide to enjoy what was before her as she was taking heed to her sister's warning about being bothered by adult businesses.
The hall was spacious enough to take in ten, twelve people round tables but she only saw two dozen people in it. It was not designed to look like the event hall Ruoruo expected.
It was like a high-class living room merged with a bar. The music was soft yet it was nothing like the soft classical music she expected from them.
This was the first time she got the chance to be around so many high-class entities. She was glad she came with her sister or Lin Jing would have felt left out. She saw a few people she recognized from the entertainment industry.
She recognized a basketballer and she gasped. The footballer was with his sister who was also a female footballer for some other country.
The woman was one of her biggest encouragements. She was not accepted at first to play in the women's national team and when she got offers from another country, she began getting offers.
The woman felt betrayed by her people and she rejected them all to play for another team. She could not be half as popular or rich as her brother but she was still a legend to Ruoruo.
Had a dim lightening befitting a bar and swallowed when she saw the snacks on the table. This was everything she did not expect as it looked casual but she could not deny the presence of showcased wealth.
It was not long before their presence invited people to come around them. She was shocked by the number of females that came around Lu Tian to greet him after they had congratulated them.
She was confused by how he was warm to them despite the rumors she has heard about him. She smiled at the few people who were nice enough to say a few pleasant words to her and her idol was one of them.
She did not waste time latching unto her idol in a manner that would not embarrass her sister or her. Her idol was very nice to her when she began talking about how she admired her so much and has always watched her match.
"I am glad you do so. I always look short among them and that does not look good in the videos I have watched," the basketballer told her with her smile nice towards the junior whose eyes shone with so much admiration.
"Looking short? You look short but you are the best player," a smaller woman preached before sitting beside the basketballer. The woman's hand went around the athlete's waist before resting her head on her shoulder. "Cute sister, what is your name?"
Ruoruo was taken aback, cute? Was she cute?
"You don't think you are cute?" the woman asked with a pout that made her look younger than the mid-twenties Ruoruo had subconsciously concluded was her age.
Ruoruo shook her head blushing slightly. Cute is a good thing. "Thank you for the compliment," she appreciated.
"You are cute," Ruoruo heard her idol praise her and she could almost see herself standing on the rooftop of this building announcing to the world what just happened.
"I will get us drinks," the young woman told Ruoruo's idol with a hint of coldness in her voice. The woman stood up but she tilted her idol's head up with her finger on her chin.
She glanced at her Ruoruo before placing a kiss on the basketballer's lips.
