Chapter 2104

It was Eliza’s provocation that had triggered this . Moreover, if Li Muyan had taken action earlier, this whole fuss would not have happened in the first place .

She had been pretty busy a while back then and had been spending most of her free time with Lu Tingxiao, so she never noticed anything odd about Li Muyan since he never did anything overboard . She only thought of him as the son of her aunt’s good friend .

Only just now did she feel like something was wrong with the way Li Muyan looked at her .

Eliza’s attitude and tone of speaking further confirmed her guess .

If Li Muyan stepped up and resolved the issue, she would not have needed to pull this off . She could just find a chance in the future and explain it to him .

However, Li Muyan chose to do nothing about Eliza’s provocation . Therefore, she could only use her own method to solve the issue .

“You…” Eliza could not say anything back to her .

Eliza did not want to admit defeat . She merely wanted to regain her pride somewhere else .

She then judged Ning Xi’s gorgeous appearance tonight . “Today is Mr . Lu’s birthday . The spotlight should belong to Mr . Lu and Mrs . Lu . Aren’t you being rude for dressing so extravagantly?”

Ning Xi’s outfit for tonight was indeed very high-profile and attractive .

Ever since she appeared, many people had been secretly judging her, especially the young girls at the venue . Of course, all the men were checking her out too .

The crowd suddenly felt that she was inappropriately dressed as well after Eliza pointed it out .

Events like these would usually invite celebrities to lighten up the mood; Ning Xi was not the only celebrity there . All the other celebrities tried to avoid being the spotlight and wore more plainly, except Ning Xi, who wore a very attention-grabbing, bright red dress .

Red was the color that represented China . Usually, only the host would wear this color and the guests would all avoid it .

Ning Xi’s outfit was indeed unseemly .

Several girls came together and started discussing . “Ning Xi is being a little too high-profile, isn’t she? Is she trying to embarrass Mrs . Lu?”

“Well, she’s just an actress, after all, so she wouldn’t know about all these rules, would she?”

…

At this moment, loud voices came over from the entrance . It seemed like the main person of the night had arrived .

Lu Tingxiao, who usually wore dark colors, had actually put on a maroon suit today, appearing more fresh-looking than usual .

Probably because of his birthday, he seemed to be in a jovial mood . The man’s face was not as cold as usual and he looked more lively .

“CEO Lu!”

“Mr . Lu, happy birthday!”

“Happy birthday!”

Amidst the well wishes, the man nodded and made some small talk with the guests . At the same time, he walked towards the center of the venue .

The man did not stop until he reached in front of a girl in a long, red gown . He appeared before the girl like a bright sun in the sky .

The man stood before the girl, his arm casually wrapped around the girl’s waist before he lowered his face and left a precious kiss on the girl’s soft, petal-like lips .

The girl’s face bloomed into a smile as she gently murmured, “Happy birthday . “

The frigid man melted and he smiled back . “Thank you, milady . ”
