James' appearance brought the one-year-old party to a climax. The Huo couple went through the formalities on the stage, and the guests came over to socialize.
There are also those who are well-informed who know that he has been in trouble recently and are not trying to get involved, but they cannot resist the efforts of others to get involved and are afraid that they will be a step slow and will not be able to help.
Serena tried her best to lower her eyes while eating , and she was even more grateful that she was sitting at the children's table, as the children did not need to socialize.
Unexpectedly, the little girl looked up from the game and glanced at James.
"He's so handsome!" She nudged her neighbor's sister, and her sister raised her eyelids to take a look.
"Tsk, you just like this kind of man who looks like a playboy."
The elder sister was not convinced, "You are allergic to handsome guys. Just because he is handsome you say he is a
The light suddenly turned into darkness, and everyone was temporarily blinded.Immediately, screams were heard.Serena didn't even have time to ask what was wrong before her mouth and nose were covered and she was forcibly pulled up from her seat.But in a moment, she fell into a strong and hot embrace.There was a faint scent of fir on his body, and a faint scent of ambergris on his hands.The panic instantly turned into complexity, followed by the man's breath in his ear."Good job, Serena."He said through gritted teeth, "You deserve to be beaten!"Serena's mouth and nose were covered, so she could only whimper. Amid the screams in the banquet hall and Mr. Huo's calm voice, she heard Lin Boting's anxious call."Serena!"James dragged her to the side. It was dark and he didn't bump into anything. The banquet hall was on the first floor and had several balconies covered by heavy curtains. James opened the curtains w
Serena looked up and saw James standing at the foot of the wall. The night wind ruffled his short hair and the moonlight made his eyes sparkle.Elop, what a tempting word.Reckless, rebellious, throwing away everything and starting over.She is no longer the elder sister-in-law, and he is no longer the younger brother-in-law.She had never betrayed him, and he didn't hate her yet.Unbelievably beautiful.Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too bright, Serena's face looked pale. She stared at him blankly without saying a word.James felt like a needle piercing his heart, she refused, she backed off.Her lips trembled, and she looked around and said, "You, your phone is ringing."James' cell phone was vibrating, buzzing against his trouser pocket over and over again.He pulled out his phone in disappointment and took a look at it. He didn't answer the call, but didn't hang up either."Button up and go find S
James' breathing became heavier, and his already sharp eagle eyes were chilling. Serena knew she had said the wrong thing, but it didn't matter. He didn't care, and she shouldn't care either.James let go of his hand and sneered, "What a high-sounding excuse. You just want to take the opportunity to hook up with Lin Boting, your late husband's friend. You are really greedy for money."Serena slumped down, the faith that had kept her running seemed to disappear in an instant. She moved to the side, not looking at him or paying attention to him, and didn't want to say another word.James became more and more annoyed. He wanted to unbutton his collar, but the button was infected by Serena and was stubborn and could not be unbuttoned.He was so angry that he pulled it hard and the button broke off.Serena flinched at the broken button and became even more silent.James glanced over at her. She wanted to lie on the car door with her whole body,
Serena was neither annoyed nor not annoyed. She was so frustrated that she could only hum."You're too humble."Shen Mu was suddenly no longer angry. He carried the person across the courtyard, stepped onto the stone bridge, and suddenly changed the subject."How's it here?"Serena now had time to take a closer look.There is a landscape design in the courtyard, and it is also decorated with lights at night. There are white walls, bamboos, stone bridges and winding water, but the style is not traditional and has a stronger sense of design. Looking out, the surrounding high-rise buildings are quite far away and do not block the view, giving a sense of being hidden in the city."It's very special."Her attention was attracted by the scenery, and the hand on James' shoulder slowly turned into an embrace around his neck, becoming more intimate. James noticed but did not remind her."It looks good." She nodded affirmatively, "Do you
Serena couldn't answer, so James asked and answered his own questions.“How beautiful.”It completely crushed her sense of shame....leaving the one-year-old birthday party, Lin Boting did not return to the hotel. He called a taxi and randomly asked for a street, which was quite far away, so he had enough time to relax on the way.When passing through the city, we passed by Bar Street, which was built by the water and was very lively. The neon lights were full of vitality. Lin Boting was infected by the vitality and got off the car.There is a bar not far away with a nice name, Spring River Water is Warm.Lin Boting plunged in without thinking.He ordered a special cocktail and sat in the corner of the bar. It was a quiet bar so not too noisy. The singer played guitar and sang some blues songs.It was very much like a shop he had visited in London, where he would occasionally go for a drink when his longing became uncontr
Lin Boting wanted to refuse, but the dizziness was hard to ignore, so he had to tell the name of the hotel.Shen Qingxiang called a taxi and helped him get in. Lin Boting was a gentleman in his bones. Even though he was drunk, he still kept a proper distance. She originally wanted him to put his arm around her shoulders, but he was only willing to use her hand to keep his balance.After getting in the car, he leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, unbuttoned his collar, revealing his refreshing Adam's apple.Lin Boting is tall and thin, with fair skin, the kind that comes from not seeing much sunlight all year round. He is not young, and if you look closely you can see wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his temperament is so outstanding. He is gentle and cold, completely concealing the vicissitudes of life.Before meeting him, Shen Qingxiang's taste was completely opposite. To her, a man's physical failure to meet standards was no differe
Thinking back now, James can still recall William's expression when he spoke.He was smiling, but there was a chill in his smile. He had never looked at him that way before.William stood up with difficulty using crutches. The old servant wanted to help him, but he pushed him away."James, you are not a god. The world will not revolve around you forever. You should get used to it sooner."James was not used to it. He didn't understand why all people and things changed in the blink of an eye. A huge question mark blocked his life and he couldn't get over it no matter what.He grabbed William by the collar angrily."William! Do you think I won't beat you just because you're a patient and a big brother?"William still smiled, "I know you dare. There are few things in this world that you dare not do. James, I don't think you care about Serena as much as you think. You have been rebellious since childhood. Serena is a member of the Xie fam
The day after returning to Beijing, Serena went to the nursing home to visit her mother. The doctor praised her for her good performance and her recent vital signs had been quite stable. Serena washed her body, cut her nails, and changed the flower arrangements on the windowsill. Only after everything was ready did she drive back.The station on the car radio was also talking about James.An expert was invited to analyze the matter, and his focus was broader than Xiao He's. He believed that the shares were not simply a betrothal gift, but were actually intended to win over the Meng family. After all, according to gossip, XX Plaza was investigated a few days ago, and all construction projects were suspended, which caused the workers to make trouble, thus exposing the capital chain problems of Jinchengbei City's subsidiary.At the critical moment, Meng provided money and connections and made great efforts to help with the cash flow, and the subsidiary finally
