Prev Chapter Next Chapter

The drive is smooth, and half an hour later, the car stops at the entrance of a super five-star hotel

nearby the city center.

After both of them have got out of the car, a doorman immediately comes over to open the door. Even

the most basic service staff is wearing black tuxedos and bow ties.

The banquet venue is on an open-air platform on the 42nd floor of the hotel. The venue is not small

and is suitable for a fair weather tonight. The service staff brings the guests to the entrance of the

banquet hall. After handing over the invitation card, Ryan gives his arm to Lily and motion to Lily.

This is not the first time that Lily has attended such an event with him, but this time she feels the most

nervousness.

She takes a deep breath and puts her arm through the man’s strong and powerful arm. With her high

heels, she has to take her steps carefully and follow him into the venue.

The moment that they make their entrance, Lily can feel that all eyes are on them, with different

emotions.

Ryan takes two champagnes in his hands and when he hands over a glass to Lily, he lowers his head

slightly and whispers, “Your beauty today is off the charts.”

His direct compliments make Lily a little hot, and she glares at him, “You made me wear this!”

Ryan smiles in cold arrogance, and he says, “Yes, I made you wear this.”

“…” Lily turns her head. Although she is still smiling, she is a little upset in the bottom of her heart.

She feels shy when dressing like this, and now he still deliberately teases her.

However, when she looks around the venue, her eyes unexpectedly catch a man who is standing in

front of a round table, with one hand in his pocket and another holding a glass.

His hair is neatly tied behind his head, and he has applied styling gel, which makes his hair lighter. His

hairline and full forehead are clearly exposed. Dark red suit makes him not shining but sort of deep

sexy. He rarely wears this color, but undeniably, he is able to handle it well.

Standing opposite is another young man, Pehry, five years has passed and even he appears more

restrained, at least in terms of style.

She knows he will be here, which is why she comes today. However at this moment, Lily still turns her

head in nervousness. Her heart is beating faster and faster and jumping on the top.

She feels nervous, uncontrollable, she is nervous as she sees that face and that pair of eyes, even

without any words.

The name “Rex” is enough to make her like this.

Realizing her state of mind, the smile in Ryan’s eyes lessens. His arms tighten closer to his body and

he says, “Calm down.”

Lily does not respond. She just slowly breathes out, and hopes to quickly adjust her state.

The Emcee walks quickly onto the stage and begins his speech regarding the theme of the banquet

tonight. A few of the big bosses are mentioned, including Rex and Ryan.

Both of them are considered as authoritative figures in the field of investment, and they are naturally

the spotlight among all the guests.

Lily just feels uncomfortable all over, and she fights hard to make her graceful as if she has nothing to

care about. However, in her deep heart, she loses herself completely.

On the other side, Pehry just comes back to his sense; he swallows salvia and whispers to Rex, “Rex, I

have not expected that Lily has not aged a single bit over the past five years.”

Five years ago, Lily was twenty four years old. Five years later, she is twenty-nine, but she still looks

young. Her skin is still fair, not to mention her figure – she seems even more charming than five years

ago.

Pehry suddenly feels that their worries all these years have been for nothing. Lily is alive, and she lives

in a way that all women are eager to be like.

However…

He turns his gaze onto the man standing next to Lily. He is tall, outstanding. And he seems not a

person to be messed with, but at this moment, he stands next to Lily in an intimate manner.

Pehry doesn't know what to say. He steals a glance at Rex and finds that his face is so gloomy.

Regardless being in the event, he scratches his head, does Lily actually have another man in these five

years?

Rex has noticed Lily and Ryan when they entered the scene. She is so dazzling that she draws

everyone’s attention the moment she appears. And the man next to her also appears to be so good,

and he even overhears someone speculating if they are a couple.

A couple?

Rex curls his lips coldly, very well. She asks him to wait for updates, and asks him to wait for the child

to cool down – and now all this waiting results in the appearance of Ryan. Very well.

Rex raises the champagne glass in his hands. He has not drink much the whole night, and even when

someone raises their glasses at him, he only takes small sips. But now, he empties the glass at one go.

Pehry swallows silently, “Rex, don't be angry. He may just be a business partner.”

Although the probability of this is almost equal to zero.

“It’s ok. I want to see what she is up to.” She appears in front of him while holding another man’s arm,

how dare she?

Although Lily has not turned her head, she can always feel the scorching stare that is glaring at her.

Even if she doesn't look at it, she knows that Rex is staring at her.

She stands there barely moving. Unlike people around her who are relaxing, she is nervous.

It is not known whether it is due to her tense state, the arm that holding her suddenly opens and is

placed on her waist. It appears to others that she is being hugged, although the hand is not that tight.

Lily turns her face in surprise, “You…!”

“Relax, take a deep breath.” Ryan interrupts her and his thin lips press closer, “You are not here to

embarrass yourself.”

His words undoubtedly help Lily to come back to her senses.

Yes, she just wants to have a face to face talk with Rex. She doesn't want to compromise, and hoping

that he will truly respect and listen to her decision. But now, she is like someone who has done

something wrong, and she doesn't even know where this sense of betrayal comes from.

Lily lowers her head and looks at the tip of her heels. Ryan is right. She has to stand up for herself. If

she appears like a wimp, it will be an embarrassment.

She forces herself to hold her head high, and to maintain a good posture as better as she can. But to

Rex, it’s undoubtedly like to add fuel to the fire.

Rex does not pay any attention to what the emcee says or the state of the proceedings. His eyes totally

focus on the little woman not far away from him. Looking her slender figure he wishes he could pull her

into his arms and scold her for what she did.

The hand that is on her slender waist is very provocative.

The emcee speaks for ten minutes before announcing free-and-easy time. The guests present tonight

are either those who have achieved great success in investments in recent years, or those who are

very rich and want to do something. In short, everyone has both status and wealth, and is all rich

beyond imagination.

Lily knows that Rex has a lot of money. But she does not expect that after he left the legal profession

five years ago, he is able to increase his wealth many times over.

This man seems have a super power to be able to succeed in whatever he does.

Ryan exchanges a few greetings with the people around him, and then leads her towards Rex’s

direction.

What needs to face, is doomed to happen.
