Chapter 65 Green Plum
"How did you feel after listening?"
Suddenly, a familiar male voice, deep and pleasant, reached Ling Xia's ears.
Ling Xia's body twitched, startled by the sudden sound.
Who is it? Don't you know people can be terrifying?
Ling Xia puffed out her cheeks, her eyes practically shooting sparks, and looked toward the source of the sound.
Turning my head, I saw a figure wearing a pure white mask, with alluring spider lilies painted around the eyes, mysterious and seductive.
He wore a long white robe, exuding an air of noble aloofness. Gold lines were inlaid on the collar and cuffs. With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a slender figure, he resembled a runway model.
Looking at the style of his clothes, Xia felt that the two of them were wearing similar clothes.
Ling Xia carefully observed the skin on the outside of the person's arms.
Looking at the boy's jawline, and his deep, dark eyes behind the mask.
Ling Xia: !!!
"boss."
What to do? When did the boss arrive? Her movements and her current expression made Xia reach up to cover her face, her hand touching the mask.
Yes, she's wearing a mask now, so the boss can't see her expression.
Lin Tingshen walked up to Ling Xia and said in a softer tone, "I'm sorry, were you frightened?" He placed his hand on Ling Xia's head and gently patted it, as if to chase away the fright he had just experienced.
Ling Xia froze on the spot due to her boss's sudden action.
It felt like one person crossed the line of intimacy with another.
Ling Xia said leisurely, "Boss, please don't suddenly speak when I'm being serious next time."
Lin Tingshen looked at Ling Xia and thought about it carefully for a long time, which made Ling Xia feel a little uneasy.
Just as Lingxia was about to explode, the next sentence was like a bucket of water, soaking her completely.
Lin Tingshen: "So you were listening very attentively to my gossip just now."
Ling Xia: !!!
I really want to thank you.
Can anyone tell her what to do if she's accidentally seen by her boss gossiping? How should she explain it?
I need an answer urgently.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
The boss is good at focusing on the key points.
Lin Tingshen suddenly found the mask quite irritating; Ling Xia's expression must be very varied right now.
He really wanted to see it.
The sight of the handsome man and beautiful woman was witnessed by a group of gossipy ladies nearby.
They sensed that the two people in front of them were flirting.
But after a while, their attention shifted, since the main character was Lin Tingshen, not the couple who were currently getting along well.
At this moment, there was some commotion at the entrance of the ball.
A woman walked in.
Her long hair was pulled up high, she wore bright red lips, and a red strapless dress that accentuated her shapely figure.
Many men looked over, and even many women turned to look at her.
Her mask was like an eagle's, with a sharp nose and long feathers standing upright on top. The entire mask was openwork.
To say that this mask covers the face is a bit self-deception, like talking about the Emperor's New Clothes.
The person who arrived was none other than Luo Wenyin, the other party involved in the gossip.
The Lin and Luo families are old friends, and their children have grown up together since childhood. Luo Wenying is two years younger than Lin Tingshen.
From the time Luo Wenyin could remember, she loved to be Lin Tingshen's little shadow, following him wherever he went.
Even if Kobayashi Tingshin is reading a book without moving in the library, Luo Wenyin will do the same.
When they were little, the two families joked, "Xiao Yin is so attached to Brother Lin, wouldn't it be nice if she became Brother Lin's bride when she grows up?"
At the time, little Lo Wen-yin didn't understand what a bride was, but her clear, childlike voice answered, "Okay."
The adults from both families burst into laughter upon hearing Luo Wenyin's childlike voice.
Lin Tingshen looked on helplessly as his mother, who was in a playful mood, guided Luo Wenyin step by step to make a promise.
As the two grew up, Xiao Luo Wenyin actually wanted to marry Lin Tingshen.
However, the two families seemed to have completely forgotten about the promise they made when they were children, and neither of them mentioned it.
She came to attend Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's banquet for two reasons: first, to express her feelings to Lin Tingshen.
She kept a secret for over 20 years—she had always secretly loved Lin Tingshen.
She wanted to speak out loud; she didn't want to have any regrets.
She used to always be chasing after him, always watching his back.
Now she wants to fight for her own happiness.
She's almost 3 this year, and although her career is going very well, she's never compromised when it comes to love.
How could she not be moved when such an outstanding person was right in front of her?
While it's satisfying to have someone by my side as a friend, I'm also afraid that if I confess my feelings and they're not accepted, we won't even be able to remain friends.
Tonight she dons her armor; she's determined to get an answer, no matter what.
Luo Wenyin entered the ball and slowly walked to the center. She glanced around from time to time, as if searching for someone.
However, after searching around several times, they did not find Lin Tingshen. Perhaps the atmosphere was too lively, but the main character did not want to appear immediately.
Those who have business dealings with the Luo family immediately start fawning over the Luo family's only daughter upon seeing her.
"It is truly my great honor to meet Miss Luo at the ball today."
"Miss Luo's outfit today is absolutely radiant. If there were an award for the most beautifully dressed, I would definitely vote for Miss Luo."
Luo Wenyin looked at the crowd gathered around her because they recognized her.
She wanted to attract attention, but that person wasn't them. Although she felt a bit disgusted, she was still proud to be the center of attention.
She cleared her throat. "Thank you all for your support of the Luo family, but today is the Lin family's event. If there are any issues in the future, you can talk to my assistant, Yao, for details."
After speaking, Luo Wenyin gracefully left the group and continued her search for her target—Lin Tingshen.
Suddenly the music stopped, the ball went dark, and everyone stopped moving.
A beam of light shone on a spot on the second floor.
There are two people, a man and a woman, on the second floor.
Neither of them wore masks; the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
The man was tall and looked to be in his forties or fifties, but the wrinkles around his eyes suggested that he might actually be older. He had a commanding presence and must have been a handsome man in his youth.
The woman was beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, a slender waist, and willow-leaf eyebrows. She wore a golden dress, looking dignified and noble.
The two were the main characters of the banquet: the former president of the Lin Group and his beloved wife, Liao Juan.
The two of them came down from the second floor together and went to the stage hall on the first floor.
Liao Juan walked up to a high place on the side of the stage and stood next to the microphone. "I am very honored to have invited so many friends to send me birthday wishes."
"I wonder if today's masquerade ball made everyone happy and joyful."
"Today is my birthday, and also my 32nd wedding anniversary with Lao Lin. I am so happy on this special day, really so happy! I hope you are happy too."
