Li An’an couldn’t be bothered with what was going on between them and continued walking forward.
Lu Ming stopped her. “An’an, can we talk for a while? Just a few minutes of your time.”
He sounded anxious. He really wanted to ask if Chu Yichen had given up on her. Why would Chu Yichen hold such a luxurious banquet? He heard that the man was on the lookout for a suitable marriage partner! So even though he had a grudge against Chu Yichen, he decided to come after receiving the invitation.
Li An’an flung his hand away. “There’s nothing left to say between us, step aside.”
“An’an, listen to me. I’m just worried that this will put you in an embarrassing position.” Lu Ming was anxious. If Chu Yichen were to announce the identity of his fiancee in tomorrow’s banquet, Li An’an would be hurt. Why didn’t she understand this?
Li An’an found it laughable. There was no bigger embarrassment than what he had caused her, and now he was worried about her. “Don’t worry, I’m strong. No one’s going to be able to embarrass me.
She insisted on leaving but Lu Ming would not release her, and this made her furious. Just as she was going to call out for help, a pair of good-looking masculine hands pulled her away from Lu Ming.
She looked up and saw a familiar face. “Fu Yiheng! Why are you here?” She smiled. Immediately, she was put in a good mood upon seeing him.
Fu Yiheng was in a light blue suit. Because he was tall and broad, he looked imposing as he stood there, even though there was gentleness in his eyes. “I got an invitation… Hence.”
Li An’an didn’t believe him. “You already knew I’d be here, right? Seriously. When I called you yesterday, it seemed like you were very busy these days!” Li An’an raised her hand to hit him playfully. To think that she was so worried about him and he wouldn’t tell her anything!
Fu Yiheng caught her fist easily. “If I told you, it would spoil the surprise. And there wouldn’t be a chance…” He paused for a moment as he cast an icy glance at Lu Ming and continued, “… to be the hero who rescues the damsel in distress!”
Li Anan was taken aback by his choice of words. “Indeed there is a damsel right here, but hero? No thanks!”
Fu Yiheng laughed. The two of them were bantering like there was no one else around. Lu Ming, who was largely being ignored, started to look sullen. “An’an, who is he? How could you…” He did not finish his sentence. What he wanted to say was, how could An’an be so frivolous, getting herself involved with so many men.
Li An’an interrupted Lu Ming. “He is my best friend, put away your dirty thoughts!”
Being chided by An’an over the other man, Lu Ming clenched his fist in anger.
Fu Yiheng knew who Lu Ming was, but he was not in the mood to care. “An’an, let me send you back to your room!”
Li An’an left with Fu Yiheng.
Lu Ming looked completely defeated, and suddenly felt as though the opportunity had passed him by. Obviously, An’an had been so in love with him in the past. Even without Chu Yichen now, she would no longer choose Lu Ming.
“Brother Lu Ming, that man is Fu Yiheng! He has just taken over the Fu family business. Uncle and Aunt mentioned it previously!” Li Xinyi was so jealous that her eyes turned red. Li An’an was really resourceful, hooking up with Fu Yiheng right away after kicking Lu Ming aside. “But don’t worry, Fu Yiheng will find out what kind of woman she is sooner or later! He’ll abandon her when he’s tired of her!”
Lu Ming was furious. “Shut up. An’an is your sister. Don’t talk about her like that! We’ve already let her down once.”
Li Xinyi was so angry that she almost cried. “Brother Lu Ming, since you like
An’an so much, I… I’ll fulfill your wish!”
Lu Ming was stunned. “Then… what about that matter?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it myself. But I only have one request. Accompany me for a few days more, okay? I don’t want to look bad.”
Lu Ming thought about it and nodded. “Thank you, Xinyi.. I’ve let you down!”
