Chapter 340: Once He Adored Her As His Life 23_1

Dongfang Jin’s thin lips tightened even more, a cold aura continuing to radiate from his body.

So cold, it would be impossible for Lu Xuening not to feel it.

Yet, she continued to smile amid these tensions, seeming genuinely ecstatic.

“Jin, the past is long gone, can’t you move on?

She’s still young, don’t hold grudges against her, it’s all in the past.”

Dongfang Jin looked at her.

Although he didn’t harbor much romantic feelings for her, her kindness softened his heart.

He pursed his lips again, then said indifferently, “I won’t go.

You go on your own.”

Lu Xuening seemed somewhat reluctant and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

Releasing his hand and giving him a soft smile, she turned and headed towards the VIP seats on the other side.

Baili Xia had just put down the coke and popcorn on the low table, and as she turned around, she saw Lu Xuening walking over.

“Xiaxia, where have you been all this time?

I heard you returned to Jin City, but I wasn’t expecting it to be true.

I thought my father had received the wrong message.”

Lu Xuening walked up to her, grasped her hand, so excited she was almost rendered speechless.

In contrast to her excitement, Baili Xia was strikingly calm.

Quietly watching her, and just as quietly admiring her exquisite makeup, and her extraordinary expressions.

“Xiaxia, why don’t you speak when you see your sister?

Are you dumbstruck?”

Lu Xuening reached out, attempting to tousle her hair.

Baili Xia, however, quietly took half a step back, avoiding her.

Lu Xuening did not mind and continued to smile brightly.

Her gaze crossed Baili Xia and landed on the man behind her.

The man sat there, his long and flawless legs casually crossed.

He leaned back casually on the sofa, his lazy posture was indescribably captivating.

By this time, he had already taken off his hat and sunglasses.

Upon seeing his features, and getting a full view of him, even Lu Xuening could not help but express awe.

“He’s so handsome!

Is this your boyfriend?

He’s really handsome!

Xiaxia, you’re so lucky!”

Baili Xia quietly withdrew her hand from Lu Xuening’s grasp without being noticed.

She glanced at her indifferently, and calmly said, “He’s my Uncle, Mr.

Four of the Mu family.”

“Is it the legendary Mr.

Xiaojiu?”

Lu Xuening’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she stared at Mu Xiaojiu, almost unable to look away.

The legendary Mr.

Xiaojiu was such a dashing man!

Her smile softened even more as she watched Mu Xiaojiu’s face, her voice as soft as a breeze.

“Hello, I’m Xiaxia’s sister, you can call me Xuening.

I’m pleased to meet you.”

Waiting, just waiting for some response from the esteemed man.

But unfortunately, one second passed, two seconds passed, several seconds quickly slipped away.

Mu Xiaojiu who sitting there didn’t even glance at her, let alone respond to her.

As though Lu Xuening was merely talking to the air, her words fell flat, not creating even a ripple.

This man…

actually just ignored her!

Lu Xuening stood there stunned, truly not expecting she would come across such an unmannerly man.

In a moment, her face turned red and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

It was Baili Xia who broke the silence calmly, “My Uncle is just like this, please don’t mind.”

She didn’t want to get tangled up with Lu Xuening, nor did she want to embarrass Dongfang Jin next door.

After all, Lu Xuening was his bride-to-be, with their engagement quickly approaching.

If Lu Xuening felt humiliated here, he would probably hate her even more.

She glanced at Lu Xuening one more time, her tone even more indifferent than before, “Your friends must be waiting for you.

I won’t bother you.”
