Chapter 115: Look, That Girl Looks Like She’s About To Cry
Lu Qiaoge didn’t move, meeting that pair of deep eyes, she found that today’s Qin Hengzhi was even more refined than yesterday.
His shirt was impeccably white, his military uniform straight and crisp.
Especially those eyes, like obsidian tempered with starlight, always carrying three parts unintentional enchantment when looking at her.
Lu Qiaoge’s eyes were also strikingly bright, her hands somewhat eager to try.
She really wanted to reach out and touch that handsome face so close at hand.
Of course, in public, she still had to maintain politeness.
She smiled shyly: “You sit properly, look at that young woman, she looks like she’s about to cry.”
Lu Min really regretted it.
She had just listened to her stepmother’s threats and sweet words and didn’t go to meet Qin Hengzhi.
She had seen him once, and now she couldn’t even say it was love at first sight.
But if she had really gone that day, what could the Cao Family do?
Could the Cao Family be more powerful than the Qin Family?
If she became a Qin Family member, would that young woman from the Cao Family still dare to bully her?
She wouldn’t dare, she fundamentally wouldn’t dare to provoke her.
It wasn’t as scary as her stepmother had said at all, and now, because of this opportunity, her stepmother’s younger brother had been promoted.
She had missed Qin Hengzhi, and in this lifetime, she wouldn’t meet anyone better than him.
Lu Min took a deep breath, her face unsightly, then slowly exhaled.
She glanced toward the main stage in the front row, clenched her hand, and walked toward Qin Hengzhi and the young woman he had brought.
No need to think, that young woman was Qin Hengzhi’s partner.
She was very pretty.
Her porcelain-white face was set with a pair of peach-blossom eyes that seemed to smile yet not, appearing affectionate and charming, yet strikingly clear and bright.
At this moment, her lips curved in a smile, and with her tilt of the head, her ponytail swayed, as if the next second it would sway right into people’s hearts.
Lu Min nervously clenched her hand.
Qin Hengzhi, on the other hand, put away the gentle expression he had for Qiao Ge and silently watched the approaching Lu Min.
Lu Min was staff, originally serving near the main stage, but her walking over naturally drew quite a few gazes.
After all, the lights were on now, the leaders hadn’t arrived yet, and familiar people were either chatting or looking around.
Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge had very good seats.
Not far behind the main stage and right in the middle.
This was the best position besides the main stage.
Actually, Qin Hengzhi was supposed to sit on the main stage, but he had refused such tickets.
The spot he chose was actually the best viewing angle.
And Lu Min slightly bent at the waist in front of Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge, not wanting to draw attention.
But many people still looked their way.
Those in front could see who it was with one glance back, but those behind could only see the backs of that young man and woman.
From the back, naturally, they couldn’t recognize who it was, but that was for strangers.
Liang Aishu and Shen Yun had also come to watch the performance.
They too were drawn to look, naturally recognizing at a glance that those two were Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge.
Liang Aishu’s face changed immediately.
He still didn’t know that Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge were dating, but seeing the two sitting side by side, did he even need to think? These two definitely had a deep relationship.
Shen Yun stared incredulously at Lu Qiaoge’s back.
Lu Qiaoge, wasn’t that Lu Qiaoge? How was she with Representative Qin?
Shen Yun even stood up in shock, and only when she realized the unusual gazes around her did she sit back down with a complicated expression.
Using a voice that those around could hear, she said: “Aishu bro, look ahead, isn’t that Lu Qiaoge? Why is the staff going to her? Did she sit in the wrong seat? Should I go help her?”
Liang Aishu held down Shen Yun. Normally so clever, why did she become so anxious and foolish upon seeing Lu Qiaoge?
Couldn’t she see Lu Qiaoge was sitting with Qin Hengzhi?
If these two had nothing going on, he wouldn’t believe it.
Today’s Lu Qiaoge had her hair in a ponytail, wearing a dress; from his angle, he could only see Lu Qiaoge’s slender back, and for some reason, Liang Aishu felt a bit dazed.
It was as if he had never truly known Lu Qiaoge.
His voice hoarse, he said: “We’re strangers to her now. Even if we run into her, we don’t speak. Even if she sat in the wrong seat, she doesn’t need our help.”
Shen Yun’s heart was in turmoil. She was really so unlucky. She had come happily with Aishu bro to watch the dance drama, originally feeling superior and proud with the internal tickets, but now it was all ruined by Lu Qiaoge.
That bitch, she didn’t want to see her, so why did she have to appear in her sight?
She waited for the staff to drive her away.
She waited for Lu Qiaoge to make a fool of herself in front of Qin Hengzhi, even hoping Lu Qiaoge had no ticket at all, that she had snuck in shamelessly.
She hoped Lu Qiaoge would make a fool of herself in public.
Shen Yun stared unblinkingly ahead at Lu Qiaoge’s direction.
And at this moment, Lu Qiaoge didn’t even need to speak; she just sat leisurely in her seat, watching Lu Min nervously talking to Qin Hengzhi.
Lu Min was indeed very tense, perhaps because Qin Hengzhi was too serious.
She said: “I came… I came to tell you that Cao Lanzhu is in the inspection team that came this time. After she arrived, she asked me about your situation. I said I didn’t know, and she stopped paying attention to me.”
Qin Hengzhi’s brow didn’t even twitch; he nodded calmly at Lu Min, indicating he understood.
That aloofness was just like their first meeting in her uncle’s office.
Perhaps it was because of this coldness and aloofness of his that she hadn’t firmly resolved to meet him?
Maybe at that time she already knew that even if they met, there would be no result.
But in the moment she walked over, she saw Qin Hengzhi’s gentle expression toward the young woman beside him.
Lu Min’s heart was filled with mixed feelings; biting her lips, she didn’t look at the young woman’s expression and hurriedly left.
Shen Yun clenched her hand in disappointment.
She also saw Representative Qin turn his head to look at Lu Qiaoge, seemingly saying something in a low voice.
So, they were together!
What to do? She was really so jealous. Lu Qiaoge, a discarded woman after engagement cancellation, how could she date someone like Representative Qin?
Was the Qin Family so undiscriminating, wanting a woman who had been dumped?
Shen Yun angrily turned her head away, no longer looking at Lu Qiaoge.
Lu Min walked from the theater to the adjacent passageway and saw Bai Jin Xin standing at the door side of the aisle waiting for her.
Lu Min took a few steps forward and hurriedly explained: “Aunt Bai, I… just now I told Representative Qin that Cao Lanzhu asked me about his information, and I only said I didn’t know.”
Bai Jin Xin had just seen her niece bring a pretty young woman into the theater.
That young woman should be the one introduced by Director Hao.
She trusted Director Hao’s character.
But actually, whether trustworthy or not wasn’t important; what mattered was that her niece had a partner.
Her sister far away in Beidu probably didn’t know yet.
Bai Jin Xin glanced that way and smiled warmly at Lu Min: “You’re a good child, go get busy.”
Lu Min breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Aunt Bai didn’t blame her, it was fine.
She walked to the doorway of the backend and didn’t see Aunt Bai go toward Qin Hengzhi’s side.
Clearly, she wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen.
