章 24: They're friends

The program had already started since earlier. Lu Xian Yu and Li Bingbing were approached by some people that knew the silver-haired man.

Even if Lu Xian Yu wanted to say that she was his woman at that moment, Li Bingbing wouldn't allow him. She would always interrupt others and tell them that they were friends.

Back then, Li Bingbing didn't mind being introduced has his woman but this time, Li Bingbing feared that Xia Sinian might arrive late and might misunderstand her relationship with Lu Xian Yu.

The women who flocked around Lu Xian Yu was giving Li Bingbing envious stares but they never said anything bad about her since Li Bingbing was his partner.

Li Bingbing ignored their envious stares, she was not in the mood to put them in their place since she was hoping for Xia Sinian to arrive.

From time to time, she would look by the entrance, waiting for his arrival but instead of seeing him enter, she saw Xia Meilin and Lu Yifeng instead.

Lu Xian Yu noticed Li Bingbing's actions that's why he couldn't help but wonder who she was waiting for but when he saw his brother and his sister-in-law entering the place, his mind became at ease.

So Li Bingbing was waiting for Xia Meilin all along, he should have known.

Xia Meilin was wearing a beautiful silver dress that hugged her body, allowing her to show off her curves. With her porcelain white skin, she was able to perfectly pull off the dress. The neckline exposed her elegant collarbone. The design of the dress was perfect for her. She was wearing the diamond jewelry set that paired with the dress. She looked so delicate and elegant.

Her hair was swept into a half-up, half-down hairstyle—leaving out two fine layers of hair to frame her face. With her near-perfect features and good skin, the makeup she had on emphasized her beautiful hazel-colored eyes and her beautiful oval shaped face. With her makeup and hairstyle, she looked very sophisticated.

Meanwhile, Lu Yifeng was dressed in a well-fitted black suit and a silver necktie, Lu Yifeng's tall and trim physique was accentuated. He didn't need to do anything with his hair and face since his devilish features were already exquisite. His sharp nose, thin lips, and thick brows were dazzling.

Li Bingbing couldn't help but smile happily when she saw her best friend. She excused herself from Lu Xian Yu's group before she walked toward Xia Meilin.

"Meimei!"

The moment Lu Yifeng saw Li Bingbing, his eyes became as cold as hell.

So this was the woman who successfully killed his brother in his past life... Just by looking at her, Lu Yifeng could already tell that Li Bingbing wasn't just a simple woman.

"You're late!" pouted Li Bingbing.

"They say that the best things take time." Xia Meilin said with a smile. "By the way, what are you doing here?" Xia Meilin couldn't help but ask since she knew that Li Bingbing wasn't the type of person who would attend such events.

Li Bingbing pointed her thumb towards Lu Xian Yu who followed her. "He dragged me here."

Lu Xian Yu placed his hand on her waist, "I needed a partner, and you were the best choice I had." He chuckled as he leaned down and gave Li Bingbing a peck on her lips in front of everyone. This made her earn jealous stares from the women who were eyeing Lu Xian Yu.

Seeing the two act so intimate, Xia Meilin couldn't help but ask, "Are you two dating?"

Did Li Bingbing actually go and meet him that night? Did Lu Xian Yu deceive her? Lu Xian Yu is a player! How could she date someone like him?!

"Nah, we're just friends." Li Bingbing said as she grabbed a glass of wine from the waiter nearby.

"... Friends?"

Lu Xian Yu nodded, confirming what Li Bingbing said. "Yes. We're just friends."

Xia Meilin suddenly felt a chill run down her spine which made her turn to Lu Yifeng.

"They're friends." He said with his low and deep voice.

Although, the way he said it was different as if there was a continuation to it. Xia Meilin was able to understand his envious stare. He was telling her that, 'they're friends and yet they shared a kiss, so why can't we?'

Xia Meilin didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she saw Lu Yifeng's protesting look. Xia Meilin turned away, ignoring him instead.

"Li Bingbing, can I have a moment with you?" She let go of her husband's arm. Xia Meilin gave her a stern look before she passed her. "Follow me."
