“Mmm.” Her hands were down on both sides of her body and her mind instantly went blank.
When he felt that she couldn’t breathe anymore, Brian Si slowly let go of her.
“You do it, you don’t need to explain.”
Florence Li instantly felt like she was being fooled. Her face flushed red and she took a step back to keep a distance from him.
After she calmed down, she looked up at him. “What are you doing?”
“Do what I should do.”
As if hearing something funny, Li Jing held his bag in his hands and coldly said, “Brian Si, do you always think so highly of yourself?”
“I thought I loved you, I thought that you kissed and said a few romantic words, and then we started again?” Don’t you think it’s too ridiculous?
His handsome eyebrows raised slightly. “Then what does this message you sent me mean?”
“I drank too much. I’m just talking nonsense, but that’s all.”
“Huh, have you drunk too much?”
If he could see through her heart a second ago, then he suddenly didn’t understand.
Last night, she mumbled that his name was real, and the car that she had stopped him with her death was real, and the coldness in her eyes was real.
Brian Si took a step forward and his expression was very gloomy as if he had been hit by frost. “Florence Li, I’ll ask you one last time. If I give you a chance, will you be with me again?”
These words were like the tip of a knife stabbing her heart. She wanted to answer him with her own intentions.
After so many things, she couldn’t do anything instinctively.
Brian Si stared intently at her, forcing her to give him an answer.
His oppressive gaze made Florence Li feel suffocated. Her fingers gripped onto her handbag and her face gradually turned pale, but her tone was very firm, “No.”
Brian Si had never felt this angry before.
“Florence Li, I’m blind. It’s you who trampled on me because I put the truth on the ground.”
Florence Li’s nose was sore. She forced herself not to show weakness and not show any emotions in front of him.
Florence Li lowered her head and her nose was slightly red.
She forcefully suppressed the hardships in her heart.
“Luo Ming, you guys are here. I’m still looking for you.”
Lin Miaomiao’s soft voice suddenly sounded behind her. Florence Li was stunned for a moment, but Khai had already walked to Brian Si’s side. He looked at her with a smile on his face, “Jing Zhi, today is so beautiful. Even a woman like me can’t help but be moved.”
The smile on Florence Li’s lips was a little stiff. She looked up and saw that Brian Si and Lin Miaomiao were standing together.
“Let’s talk. I still have something to do. I’ll go out first.”
As she turned around, tears started to fall from her eyelashes.
The guests were all present. Although this was just Hai Wao’s celebration banquet, in reality, it was also a press conference for Hai Ziyang. The invited people also had heads and faces. Everyone also wanted to recruit Hai Ziyang, so all the people present today were big shots.
However, Brian Si’s arrival was still surprising. After all, Hai Wao and Si Empire were currently on the stage, so it was not good to offend either side.
“Get some makeup up, raise a glass of red wine, put on a smiling face, and close my hand to follow me.”
Florence Li was in a daze when Hai Ziyang suddenly appeared beside her.
Looking at her slightly reddened eyes, she knew she had cried. She had just seen her and Brian Si together, so she deliberately pointed Lin Miaomiao in the direction. Un, she actually cried.
She felt like she had done something wrong.
He was the boss and there was no reason for him to disobey, so Florence Li did as he said.
Then she followed him to toast and put on a smiling face.
In the venue, Brian Si was talking to someone.
Hai Ziyang walked around with Florence Li.
He looked over to see her hand clinging to Hai Ziyang’s arm. His brows furrowed and his fingers holding onto the wine glass tightened.
“CEO Si?”
“I’m fine.”
His expression quickly disappeared and he took a sip of red wine with a smile.
Hai Ziyang was chatting and laughing, while Florence Li was a little absent-minded. He deliberately lowered his voice and asked her, “How is it? Do you want to meet CEO Yang?”
Her smile became more and more stiff. “If you insist on me acting like this, then there’s nothing I can do. You’re my boss, so what do you want?”
“Tsk.”
“You’re not treating the boss like this. It doesn’t seem like your personality to be so obedient.”
Florence Li was in no mood to refute him.
However, in the end, he still let her go. Later, seeing as she wasn’t in a state, he agreed to let her walk on her own.
Florence Li rushed out of the venue as if she had received an amnesty.
Everyone was in the venue. She was hiding herself in the dark of the night, but she didn’t need to wear a mask or smile.
She took off her high heels and sat on the bench for a while before walking down the pond in the garden.
There was a chill in the evening breeze. She hugged her arms, but her mind couldn’t help but think about that person. He always seemed to lack people around him.
She almost agreed to Brian Si because of that kiss.
While still deep in thought, a pair of hands suddenly pushed her back. Before Florence Li could look back, she was forcefully pushed into the pool.
“Pfft.”
“Help, save me!”
The cold water engulfed Florence Li in an instant. She couldn’t swim, so she could only rush in the water while calling for help.
Her body wasn’t able to control it, only fear. The fear of water made her feel a little empty.
The people in the venue immediately noticed her movements. Seeing the familiar clothes in the water, Hai Ziyang didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately jumped into the water and carried her to the shore.
The gown was drenched and her beautiful curves were revealed in front of everyone. Many men’s eyes were fixed on her chest.
Hai Ziyang frowned and immediately took off his jacket to cover her body, isolating those malicious eyes.
Brian Si was about to step forward when he saw this scene in the venue, but he was stopped by Lin Miaomiao. “Luo Ming, if you go up now, you will only make Jing Zhi embarrassed. You are her ex-husband and Hai Ziyang is her boss. What do you want her to do?”
“Plus, the relationship between you is already complicated enough. If you go over so recklessly, everyone will talk about you.”
Lin Miaomiao’s words made sense. Brian Si secretly squeezed the cup and remembered what happened on the balcony earlier.
“Let’s go, go back.”
