Chapter 263: Sorry, I’m Busy Accompanying My Fiancée
Nangong Yanting’s face was as dry as it could be. Thinking back now, Lu Ziyi was tall, handsome, and dignified, how much stronger was he than the young masters of high society!
Even Tang Jie’er didn’t catch Lu Ziyi’s eye! But she had scolded him with unpleasant words again and again. How could Lu Ziyi do her this favor and have tea with her Father?
Nangong Guangzhi urged, “Tingting, hurry up and tell Lu Ziyi that I am sincerely waiting for him here!”
Nangong Yanting braced herself and walked into the backstage entrance. She could only blame herself for being inexperienced and unable to see through people, not knowing how deep Lu Ziyi’s feelings ran. Would he even pay attention to her after she had insulted him so harshly?
Backstage, Lu Ziyi was arguing with Lin Chusheng while holding Ye Chuxiao. Nangong Yanting walked over and weakly called out, “Lu Ziyi…”
Nangong Yanting knew Lu Ziyi’s background. Looking at him again, what a handsome and outstanding young man he was! Even Tang Jie’er was pursuing him!
Nangong Yanting’s heart was extremely complicated. She could have interacted with Lu Ziyi through dancing. Perhaps she could have pursued the man Tang Jie’er couldn’t? If only the marriage proposal on stage just now had been hers, the person Lu Ziyi was holding in his arms would be her now.
Nangong Yanting regretted it deeply, but Lu Ziyi still held Ye Chuxiao tightly, looked at her with a deep gaze, and asked, “Is there something you need?”
Nangong Yanting’s face burned with shame. She said in a low voice, “My Father wants to invite you for tea. My Father is the Chairman of Nanxing Group. He is waiting for you outside. Please… do him the honor.”
“I’m sorry, I’m very busy and don’t have time for tea,” Lu Ziyi said indifferently.
Nangong Yanting stood there, very awkward. Only those with confidence could speak with such a calm and powerful aura.
Nangong Yanting said softly, “Um… the competition is over, so it doesn’t count… it doesn’t count as being busy, just have some tea.”
Lu Ziyi grinned, “I’m busy accompanying my fiancée. This is something I’ll never be too busy for!”
Just now, everyone backstage was watching Lu Ziyi and Lin Chusheng playfully bicker. Now, they were watching a relatively pretty girl trying to get Lu Ziyi’s attention.
Lu Ziyi had just proposed to Ye Chuxiao on stage. He already had a fiancée. What else did this girl want? And she was shamelessly persistent in front of his fiancée!
Nangong Yanting felt unfriendly and strange gazes from all around. She felt like thorns were pricking her back. Unable to move Lu Ziyi, she turned and ran out of backstage.
“Tingting, how did it go?” Nangong Guangzhi stretched his neck, not seeing any young man following his daughter out.
Nangong Yanting stammered, “He said he was busy and didn’t have time for tea.”
Is this young man so arrogant? Nangong Guangzhi, who was adept at maneuvering in the business world, frowned. He thought of something, suddenly put on a stern face, and said in a deep voice, “Tingting, you just said Lu Ziyi was stupid, slow to react, and a playboy. Did you say these things to his face?”
Nangong Yanting did not reply, implicitly admitting it.
Suddenly, with a “slap,” Nangong Guangzhi slapped his daughter’s face.
The sting was fiery. Nangong Yanting stood there stunned. Her Father had actually hit her! Although her Father didn’t usually care about her, he wouldn’t go so far as to hit her!
Mrs. Nangong hugged her daughter with concern and said softly, “Guangzhi, didn’t you say Lu Ziyi was very low-key? Tingting didn’t know what kind of person he was!”
